Tektronix TAP2500 Datasheet

2.5 GHz Active Probe

TAP2500

Selecting the right probe for your applica­tion is key to attaining the best signal fidelity
in your measurements. Active probes
provide truer signal reproduction and
fidelity for high frequency measurements.
With our ultra-low input capacitance and
unique interface, the TAP2500 Single­ended 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 the new Tektronix
DPO7000 and DPO4000 Series oscillo­scopes, the TAP2500 Active FET probe
achieves high-speed signal acquisition
and measurement fidelity by solving three
traditional problems:

Lower DUT loading effects with ≤0.8 pF
input capacitance and 40 kΩ 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 2.5 GHz
