The B+K Precision Model DP-21 Logic Probe manual provides instructions for setting up and operating the probe, including connecting it to a power supply and adjusting the threshold settings for TTL and CMOS circuits. It also covers troubleshooting techniques, such as using the probe in conjunction with a logic pulser to test circuit components and identify faulty gates or flip-flops.
Manual Overview
The B+K Precision Model DP-21 Logic Probe is designed for digital troubleshooting, compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families. It features a level detector, pulse detector, and pulse memory, with three LED indicators to display high and low logic states and pulse presence. The probe can detect pulses as narrow as 30 nanoseconds and pulse trains up to 20 MHz. For operation, connect the black clip to the ground and the red clip to Vcc, adjusting the threshold switch to match the logic family. The mode switch allows selection between pulse stretch and memory modes. In pulse stretch mode, the pulse indicator lights for a minimum of 20 milliseconds for each pulse detected. In memory mode, the indicator remains lit after the first pulse until reset. For troubleshooting, the probe can be used with a logic pulser, such as the B+K Precision DP-31A, to test circuit outputs and identify faulty components. The probe’s LEDs provide visual feedback on logic levels and pulse activity, aiding in diagnosing circuit issues.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose TTL/CMOS logic issues with DP-21 Logic Probe.
- Identify pulse trains up to 20 MHz for troubleshooting.
- Use schematics for circuit tracing and dead output detection.

Operation
To operate the B+K Precision Model DP-21 Logic Probe, follow these steps:
1. Connect the black clip to the power supply ground.
2. Connect the red clip to Vcc, which should be +5 volts for TTL or +4 to +18 volts for CMOS.
Threshold Setting:
– The threshold switch can be set to TTL mode for +5 V TTL circuits or to CMOS for +4 to +18 V CMOS circuits.
– TTL logic 1 threshold is +2.3 V ±0.2 V, and logic 0 threshold is +0.8 V ±0.2 V.
– CMOS logic 1 threshold is 70% ±10% of Vcc, and logic 0 threshold is 30% ±10% of Vcc.
Mode Selection:
– The mode switch allows for pulse detection in either pulse stretch (PULSE) or memory (MEM) modes.
– In pulse stretch mode, the pulse indicator lights for a minimum of 20 milliseconds in response to each single pulse of 20 nanoseconds or greater duration.
– In memory mode, the pulse indicator remains lit after the first pulse or logic transition until reset by moving the mode switch.
Use of the Probe:
– The HI indicator lights when a logic “high” is present at the probe tip, and the LO indicator lights when a logic “low” is present.
– The pulse indicator lights as a result of a transition in logic levels.
– For symmetrical pulses, both HI and LO indicators will be lit at half brightness, and the pulse indicator will flash.
– For unsymmetrical pulse trains, the pulse indicator will flash, and one of the HI or LO indicators will be brightly lit, while the other may be faintly lit or not lit at all.
Use With a Logic Pulser:
– Connect the DP-21 and a logic pulser to the supply of the circuit to be tested.
– Hold the tip of the DP-21 on the output of a suspected bad gate or the output of a flip-flop or counter.
– Use the logic pulser to touch a logic input of the suspected gate or the clock input of the flip-flop or counter.
– The output of a good device will generally show a pulse indication on the DP-21.
