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
