Differential Probes - A Better Measurement Tool

Differential active probes provide truer signal reproduction and fidelity for high-frequency measurements. With ultra-low input capacitance and versatile device-under-test connection capabilities, the TDP1500 and TDP3500 Differential-ended Active probes provide excellent high-speed electrical and mechanical performance required for today s digital system designs.

Specifically designed for use and direct connection to the TekVPI probe interface used on the DPO7000, DPO4000, and MSO4000 Series oscilloscopes, the TDP1500 and TDP3500 Differential probes achieve high-speed signal acquisition and measurement fidelity by solving three traditional problems:

* DUT loading effects - Are reduced by lower input capacitance and high input resistance
* DUT connectivity - A variety of accessories exist for attaching to small SMDs, some come standard or recommended
* Maximizing of system (oscilloscope and probe) bandwidth - probing solutions for all measurements for TekVPI interface oscilloscope models up to 3.5 GHz
