TriMode™ Probing, Connectivity, and
Performance
TriMode™ Probing Architecture
One-probe setup makes differential, single ended, and common mode
measurements accurately and definitively.
Tektronix is a known leader when it comes to signal fidelity and signal
acquisition. Building on our history of market-leading innovations in probing,
After TriMode (P75TLRST): 1 Probe for Differential, Single Ended, and Common Mode,
with only 1 setup required.
we invented a revolutionary probing architecture called “TriMode™ Probing”
nes the next-generation industry benchmark for usability and signal
that defi
fidelity. This architecture changes the rules o f probing and allows you to
work more effectively and efficiently. By enabling unique functionality, the
P7500 Series TriMode probes allow you to switch between differential,
single ended, and common mode measurements without moving the probe
from its connection points.
Improved productivity is achieved by reducing setup time. One setup can be
used to make the three different types of measurements all with the press
ton. The TriMode Probe architectu re for the P7500 Series probes
of a but
continues the Tektronix tradition of high-bandwidth an d low-DUT loading
while providing impro ved connectivity and value.

Connectivity Plus – Solder Down – Handheld
–Fixtured
The P7500 Series TriMode probe architecture offers various levels of
connectivity and provides the highest probe fi delity available for real-time
oscilloscopes. T he multipoint c onnectivity solutions of the P7500 Series
include:
TriMode Long-
with a long reach and very small, low-profile form factor.
reach Solder Tip The highest-performance solder tip
TriMode™ Probe Family — P7500 Series
TriMode Extended-resistor Solder Tip Medium-performance solder tip
with long easy-to-solder tip resistors.
TriMode Resistor Solder Tip High-performance solder tip with
easy-to-solder tip resistors.
TriMode Micro-coax Tip Low-cost, quick-connect solder tips.

Data Sheet
TriMode High-temperature Tip When used with the 1.5 m Socket Cable
XL, this tip can be used in environments from –55 °C to 150 °C.
Damped Wire Tip Low-cost solder tips ideal for high-density probing.
Precision Differential Probing Module High-performance handheld
probing module.
Handheld and fixtured probing needs are met using the optional Precision
Differential Probing Module (P75PDPM). Its small precision tapered tips,
variable articulation of the probe tip, and quick-adjusting variable tip spacing
provides the needed flexibility for adapting to vias and other test points of
differing sizes from 30 mils to 180 mils.
These precision connectivity tools enable you to access multiple signals on
anything from convenient test pads to hard -to-reach, high-density circuitry.

Signal Fidelity
You can be confident in the signal fidelity of your measurements. The
innovative new Tektronix differential architecture, coupled with the superior
electrical performance of IBM SiGe Technology, provides the bandwidth and
fidelity to meet
the industry needs of today as well as tomorrow.
