Modular differential probe (DEDP-100)

This repository contains the design files of a 100 MHz differential probe for use with oscilloscopes. The design is modular and consists of a base amplifier unit with exchangeable probe tip accessories. The accessory can be chosen to fit the desired voltage range and connection type.

Currently this project is still in development. While the prototype revisions work well, they are still being redesigned for improvements.

Questions

How big is the Diff probe amplifier PCB?

It measures 25.6 × 38.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Diff probe amplifier use?

83 parts, built around the R1283K001C-TR, MMZ1608B601C, BLM18KG102SN1 and PESD5V0X1BT. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Diff probe amplifier KiCad files?

From the devEmbedded/differential_probe repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is diff_probe_amplifier/diff_probe_amplifier.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Diff probe amplifier design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask devEmbedded before reusing the design.
