Agilent/Keysight E5380A

The Agilent/Keysight E5380A is a single-ended Mictor connector probe for signal acquisition and analysis with Agilent logic analyzers. It provides direct connection to densely populated target boards via an integrated 38-pin Mictor footprint, eliminating the need for external signal routing. The probe delivers low-capacitance signal paths to the logic analyzer with minimal loading effects on the device under test.

– Technical Specifications

• Connector Type: Single-ended Mictor (38-pin footprint)
• Equivalent Load Capacitance: 3.0 pF
• Maximum Data Rate: 600 Mb/s
• Minimum Measurable Signal Amplitude: 300 mV p-p
• Logic Analyzer Interface: 90-pin cable connector

– Key Features

• Low-capacitance probe design minimizes signal loading on target circuits
• 38-pin Mictor footprint enables integration directly into PCB designs
• Support shrouds available for board thicknesses up to 0.12 inches, protecting against accidental disconnection
• Compatible with standard Mictor connector part numbers: Agilent 1252-7431 or AMP 2-767004-2

– Typical Applications

The E5380A is suited for embedded signal monitoring in high-density digital designs where board space is constrained and traditional probe solutions cannot be accommodated. Its 600 Mb/s capability and 300 mV p-p minimum sensitivity support acquisition of logic-level signals across a range of digital interfaces.

– Compatibility & Integration

The probe connects directly to Agilent logic analyzers equipped with 90-pin cable connectors. Target-side integration requires a Mictor connector footprint on the device under test, allowing measured signals to be routed to this connection point. The 3.0 pF load capacitance preserves signal integrity in sensitive analog and mixed-signal environments.
