Hi All,

In November I published a Technical Tidbit on my website on how not to 
measure signal voltages in the presence of significant noise. This 
month I show one possible solution - a passive differential probe.

Measuring Signals in the Presence of Severe EMI - Part 2, A 
Differential Solution (differential measurement using a passive 
differential probe)

Abstract: A passive differential probe can be very useful for making 
voltage measurements in the presence of severe interference such as 
nearby ESD. In such a situation, active differential probes cannot be 
used because of common mode input voltage limitations. Data is 
presented to show typical effectiveness of a passive differential probe.
