Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the MX0023A InfiniiMax RC, a high-speed differential probing solution for double data rate 5 (DDR5) and low power DDR5 (LPDDR5).

As data rates of mobile bus systems increase, the edge speed of the signal gets faster, thus requiring higher bandwidth probe solutions. At the same time, many systems deploy a continuously variable termination mechanism, switching the termination impedance between low and high impedance to save power consumption in devices. This requires a higher speed probing solution with high input impedance profile over wider frequency range for low probe loading. This is common signal behavior in high-speed mobile communication technologies typically deployed in DDR/LPDDR.
