Tektronix TAP1500 Datasheet

1.5 GHz Active Probe

TAP1500

TAP1500 Single-ended Active FET Probe
provides excellent high-speed electrical
and mechanical performance required for
today’s digital system designs. Specifically
designed for use and direct connection
to the TekVPI probe interface used on
Tektronix’ new DPO7000 and DPO4000
Series oscilloscopes, the TAP1500 Active
FET Probe achieves high-speed signal
acquisition and measurement fidelity by
solving three traditional problems:

Lower DUT loading effects with ≤1 pF input

capacitance and 1 MΩ input resistance

Versatile DUT connectivity for attaching to

small SMDs

Preserves oscilloscope bandwidth at the

probe tip for DPO7000 and DPO4000 Series
Oscilloscope models, up to 1 GHz

Characteristics

Bandwidth (probe only) – ≥1.5 GHz.
Attenuation (probe only) – 10x ±2%.
Rise Time (probe only)– ≤267 ps.
Input Capacitance – <1 pF.
Input Resistance – 1 MΩ.
Linear Dynamic Range – ±8V (16V
Input Offset Range – ±10V.
Max Input Voltage (Non-destruct)–

±15 V (DC + pkAC).
Propagation Delay – 5.3 ns.
