Abstract
A test-probe tip having a tip component, a resistive element, and a compliance member. The tip component is configured to electrically connect to a device under test at a first end of the tip component. The resistive element is electrically connected to a second end of the tip component along a signal-flow axis. The resistive element is configured to provide electrical impedance to an electrical signal passing through the resistive element. The compliance member is configured to allow movement of the tip component in a first direction when a mechanical force applied to the tip component in the first direction and to cause movement of the tip component in an opposite, second direction when the mechanical force applied to the tip component is removed or reduced. Architectures for the resistive element are also described.
