Data Sheet
P7260 Single-ended Active Probe
The P7260 is the fastest active probe in the world. It provides high
bandwidth, low circuit loading, low noise, and accurate probing solutions
for high-speed circuit designers. This probe has a small probe head for
accessing conn
ection points in tight physical constraints and with today’s
fine pitch circuitry.
The P7260 is th
eworld’sfirst probe to be developed with silicon germanium
(SiGe).It features a toggle/switch that offers the choice of using the probe at
either 1.5 V

TekConnect interface takes probe intelligence to the next level, providing
probe power, automa ted signaling of scale factor and offset voltage. It also
adds automatic bandwidth adjustment and voltage measurement. The
TekConnect interface extends useful bandwidth and signal fidelity out to
18 GHz. A full complement of versa tile probe tip accessories helps connect
to the wide ra
