Data Sheet
P6245 and P6243 Active Probes for
TEKPROBE BNC Interfaces
P6245
The P6245 Active FET probe achieves high-speed signal acquisition by
solving three traditional problems:
Lower DUT loading (≤1pF/1MΩ probe loading)
Direct and easy access to SMDs
Access DUT signals and scope bandwidth for
TDS600/700/3000/5000/6000/7000*
to 1 GHz bandwidths
The P6245 and P6243 Active probes provide the electrical and mechanical
performance required for today’s digital systems designs. No additional
power supplies or cables are required when used with TEKPROBE BNC
oscilloscopes. Both the P6245 and P6243 achieve high-speed signal
acquisition and low circuit loading, required for solving today’s problems
faced by designers.
The small compact probe head and versatile attachment accessories allow
direct connection to the device under test.
The P6245 and P6243 Active Probes provide scope bandwidth at the probe
tip for the TDS500/600/700; the P6243 provides scope bandwidth at the
probe tip for the TDS3000 Series scope up to 1 GHz bandwidth.
*1Some TDS6000 or TDS7000 oscilloscopes require a TCA-BNC adapter.
P6243
The P6243 Active FET probe is the high-performance probing solution for
500 MHz oscilloscopes. The P6243 has a probe only bandwidth of 1 GHz
and will provide a 500 MHz system bandwidth when used with Tektronix’
full line of 500 MHz oscilloscopes. In addition, the P6243 is powered by
the TEKPROBE BNC interface, eliminating the need for additional power
supplies and cables wh en used with TEKPROBE BNC oscilloscopes.
The P6243 offers superior signal acquisition on surface mount devices
compared to the much higher capacitive loading of passive probes. The
P6243 has ≤1 pF capacitive loading which allows it to measure high-speed
signals without affecting the signal or device under test. Furthermore, the
included accessories and adapters allow for easy attachment to SMDs.
