  • Systems and methods for probing processor signals
    Patent number: 7091732
    Abstract: Signal probing systems are provided. One such signal probing system includes: a socket configured to be electrically coupled to a processor, a printed circuit board (PCB), a separation layer that is located between the socket and the PCB, compensation circuits that each include a resistor and a capacitor coupled in parallel, and an adapter that is attached to the PCB and that is configured to be electrically coupled to a motherboard, wherein the PCB is configured to route respective probed signals through the compensation circuits, the respective probed signals being responsive to respective signals traveling between the processor and the motherboard. Methods and other systems are disclosed.
