Differential Probes - A Better Measurement Tool
Differential active probes p rovide truer signal reproduction and fidelity
for high-frequency measurements. W ith ultra-low input capacitance and
versatile device-under-test connection capabilities, the TDP1500 a nd
TDP3500 Differ
ential-ended Active probes provide 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 DPO7000, DPO4000, and MSO4000 Series
oscilloscopes, the TDP1500 and TDP3500 Differential probes achieve
high-speed signal acquisition and measurement fidelity by solving three
traditional problems:
DUT loading effects - Are reduced by lower input capacitance and high
input resistance
DUT connectivity - A variety of accessories exist for attaching to small
SMDs, some come standard or recommended
Maximizing of system (oscilloscope and probe) bandwidth - probing
solutions for all measurements for TekVPI interface oscilloscope models

Compatibility
The TDP3500 is fully supported on DPO7000, DPO4000, and MSO4000. The
TDP1500 is fully supported on the DPO4000 and MSO4000. TDP1500 functions
properly with DPO7000 Series firmware version 4.0.0 and above, but does not
provide range control on the oscilloscope menu.
