The AVCP-1 is a resistor-based current probe designed for measuring low DC and pulsed currents down to 1.4 mA with ±3% DC accuracy. It offers a continuous current range of ±0.2 A, a bandwidth of DC to 2 MHz, a rise time of 175 ns or less, and an output gain of 10 V/A. The probe is compatible with most commercial oscilloscopes via BNC connection and features an insertion impedance of 0.92 Ω at 1 MHz, 1.88 Ω at 10 MHz, 7.61 Ω at 50 MHz, and 14.61 Ω at 100 MHz. Typical RMS noise is 200 μA or less at 20 MHz bandwidth limit. The device supports input voltages from -5 V to 80 V and has a maximum continuous current damage limit of 1400 mA.
AVCP-series current probes are based on a series resistor and differential amplifier which generates an output voltage proportional to the current flowing through the resistor. Large series resistors are used to create a large voltage drop in order to measure extremely low currents in the order of uA and mA. Unlike current probes based on Hall effect sensors, AVCP-series current probes do not need to be demagnetized (degaussed) and can be used more easily over long periods of time.
