Question
You measure a 1 ns risetime digital signal. What frequency wil you use to check if the pF's in the probe/scope/cable combination are going to cause probe loading? Enter the answer in MHz without the unit.
Solution
To determine the frequency that could cause probe loading, you need to consider the bandwidth of the signal. The bandwidth of a digital signal is typically estimated using the formula BW = 0.35 / rise time.
Given a rise time of 1 ns, you can calculate the bandwidth as follows:
BW = 0.35 / 1 ns = 350 MHz
So, you would use a frequency of 350 MHz to check if the pF's in the probe/scope/cable combination are going to cause probe loading.
