Z-Active™ Probing Architecture Leads the
Way for High-speed Probing Applications

Tektronix has created a revolutionary Z-Active probe architecture that sets
the industry benchmark for signal fidelity. Tektronix a ctive probe architecture
preserves high bandwidth while providing improved connectivity with low
loading. The Z

from the amplifier, extending the usable reach of the probe. In traditional
active probes, adding this much length can introduce signal fidelity
problems. However this architecture maintains high DC input resistance
and presents a higher AC impedance than previous probe architectures. It
accomplishes this while providing significant length between the probe body
and the probe
best of both worlds: high DC impedance like existing active probes and the

Connectivity

The Z-Active probe design allows the probe to easily switch between
soldered, handheld, or fixtured applications.

This family of probes uses Tip-Clip™ assemblies, an interchangeable
probe tip system that enables customers to configure their probe with the
optimal tip for their application. These detachable assemblies make it
possible to replace a tip for a fraction of the cost formerly associated with
such hardware changes. The several lengths and variable spacing of the
assemblies provide flexibility for adapting to vias and other test points of
differing sizes. With Tektronix Tip-Clip assemblies, Monday’s solder-in
probe can become Tuesday’s handheld tool, simply by switching tips.

Value

The combin ation of the Z-Active architecture and the Tip-Clip assemblies
provide superior signal fidelity at a cost-effective price. The inexpensive
Tip-Clip assemblies enable full-performance solder connections at a very
low price per connection. Over the life of a probe this can add up to
significant savings in the cost of operation.
