E5390A Single-Ended Soft Touch
Connectorless Probe

The E5390A is a 34-channel
single-ended soft touch connec-
torless probe compatible with all
Agilent logic analyzers that have
a 90-pin pod connector. It is
capable of acquiring data at the
maximum rates of the logic
analyzer it is connected to. The
probe has the following inputs:

• 32 single-ended data inputs
• two differential or single-ended

clock inputs

• < 0.7 pf input capacitance
• 250 mV p-p minimum signal

amplitude

Unused clock inputs can be used
as data inputs.

The E5390A (used with logic
analyzers with a 90-pin pod con-
nector) uses the same footprint,
pinout and retention module as
the E5394A single-ended soft
touch connectorless probe (used
with logic analyzers with a 40-pin
pod connector).

A kit of five retention modules
is shipped with each soft touch
probe. Additional kits can be
ordered using Agilent part
number E5387-68701.

E5398A Half-Size Soft Touch
Connectorless Probe

The E5398A is a small space
saving probe compatible with all
Agilent logic analyzers that have
a 90-pin cable connector. It is a
17-channel, single-ended probe
capable of capturing data at
the maximum rates of the logic
analyzer it is connected to. The
probe has the following inputs:

• 16 single-ended data inputs
• one differential or single-ended

clock input

• <0.7 pf equivalent load

capacitance

• 250 mV p-p minimum signal

amplitude

Unused clock inputs can be used
as data inputs.

The E5398A (used with logic
analyzers with a 90-pin cable con-
nector) uses the same footprint,
pinout, and retention module as
the E5396A single-ended soft
touch connectorless probe (used
with logic analyzers with a 40-pin
cable connector).
