Tektronix TAP2500 2.5 GHz Active Probe, Single-Ended, with VPI Interface

The TAP2500 Single-ended Active FET probe provides excellent high-speed electrical and mechanical performance required for today's digital system designs. Specifically designed for use and direct connection to oscilloscopes with the TekVPI™ probe interface, the TAP2500 Active FET probe achieves high-speed signal acquisition and measurement fidelity by solving three traditional problems:

• Lower DUT loading effects with ≤0.8 pF input capacitance and 40 kΩ input resistance
• Versatile DUT connectivity for attaching to small SMDs
• Preserves instrument bandwidth at the probe tip for up to 3.5 GHz oscilloscopes.

• 2.5 GHz Probe Bandwidth
• Fast probe rise time
• Excellent signal fidelity
• ≤0.8 pF input capacitance
• 40 kΩ input resistance
• -4 V to +4 V input dynamic range
• -10 V to +10 VDC input offset range
• ±30 V (DC + peak AC) Maximum input voltage (nondestructive)
• Versatile mechanical performance
• Small compact probe head for probing small geometry circuit elements
• DUT attachment accessories enable connection to SMDs as small as 0.5 mm pitch
• Robust design for reliability
• Connects directly to oscilloscopes with the TekVPI™ probe interface
• Provides automatic units scaling and readout on the oscilloscope display
• Easy access to oscilloscope probe menu display for probe status/diagnostic information and to control probe DC offset
• Remote GPIB/USB probe control through the oscilloscope
