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.
