4 GHz Active Probes
P7240 • P6249 • P6241 • P6209
Selecting the right probe for your applica-
tion is key to attaining the best signal
fidelity in your measurements. Active
probes provide truer signal reproduction
and fidelity for high frequency measure-
ments. Tektronix provides you a wide range
of 4 GHz active probes to select from for
your application.
TekConnect®Interface –
P7240
The P7240 with TekConnect®interface is a
high-performance active probe with high
bandwidth and low capacitive loading to
make it the probe of choice for demanding
design applications, such as Rambus, DDR
DRAM and AGP. This probe and others in
the family are also suited for applications
in the communication industry, for meas-
urements on Fibre Channel and Gigabit
Ethernet. With the TekConnect interface,
you can be assured that maximum signal
integrity is maintained to meet present and
future bandwidth needs.
TEKPROBE®BNC Interface –
P6249 and P6241
The P6249 and P6241 have similar per-
formances to the P7240. Primarily used
for the TDS694C and TDS794D perform-
ance oscilloscopes, these probes may also
be used with conventional BNC interfaces
via the Tektronix 1103 TEKPROBE
Supply. The P6249 provides 4 V
range. The P6241 offers a 10X attenuation
and an 8 V
dynamic range, plus has a
p-p
lower input capacitance due to the unique
probe tip. A full complement of versatile
probe tip accessories helps users connect
to the wide range of devices faced by
digital designers.

P7240 • P6249 • P6241 • P6209
SMA Interface/Sampling
Oscilloscopes – P6209
The P6209 provides a high-bandwidth,
low circuit loading probing solution for the
CSA/TDS8000B sampling oscilloscopes with
™
TEKPROBE
SMA input connection. Based
on the P6249 probe design, the P6209 has
similar performance and a similar small
probe head for access to today’s fine-pitch
SMDs and connection points.
