Accurate High-speed, Passive Probing
The TPP1000 and TPP0500 are high-bandwidth, general-purpose probes
from Tektronix that offer breakthrough specifications previously unrealized in
this product class. Designed for use with Tektronix MSO/DPO4000B and
MSO/DPO5000 Series oscilloscopes, these probes provide up to 1 GHz of
analog bandwidth with less than 3.9 pF of capacitive loading.
The extremely low capacitive loading limits adverse affects on your circuits
and is more forgiving of longer ground leads. And with the probe’s wide
bandwidth, you can see the high-frequency components in your signal
which is critical for high-speed applications. The TPP1000 and TPP0500
passive voltage probes offer all the benefits of general-purpose probes like
high dynamic range, flexible connection options, and robust mechanical
design, while providing the performance of active probes.
Accurate Low-voltage, Passive Probing
The TPP0502 offers the industry’s highest bandwidth (500 MHz) and lowest
attenuation factor (2X) for making low-voltage measurements such as
ripple, a common measurement on the output of power supplies. The low
capacitive loading of the TPP0502 means long ground leads can also be
used on this probe with minimal impact on measurement quality, providing
today’s engineer with the flexibility to move around their design without
worrying about ground lead length.
