TAP1500 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 the TekVPI™ probe interface used on Tektronix' new DPO7000 and DPO/MSO4000 Series Oscilloscopes, the TAP1500 Active FET probe achieves high-speed signal acquisition and measurement fidelity by solving three traditional problems:

Lower DUT loading effects with ≤1 pF input capacitance and 1 MΩ input resistance

Versatile DUT connectivity for attaching to small SMDs

Preserves oscilloscope bandwidth at the probe tip for DPO7000 and DPO/MSO4000 Series Oscilloscope models, up to 1 GHz
