From the project
High-voltage differential probe PCB — KiCAD design
A high-voltage, active differential probe for floating measurements with selectable 10x/100x attenuation.
Input Stage (2 channels) - BNC connectors (J1, J2) - Compensated attenuator network (10x baseline, 100x with relay switching) - Protection: BAV99 diode clamps (D1, D2), SMAJ5.0A TVS (D3), 0.5A fuse (F1)
Buffer & Summing Stage - U1, U3: ADA4817-1ARDZ (1 GHz unity-gain stable op-amps, JFET input) - U2: LMH6611 (345 MHz single-supply buffer) — differential summing amplifier - Output on BNC (J3)
