Differential Probes

TDP1500 • TDP3500

Features & Benefits

  • Outstanding Electrical Performance
    • 3.5 GHz and 1.5 GHz Bandwidth Models – Accurate Measurements for Serial and Digital Applications
    • Excellent Common Mode Rejection – Reduces Measurement Errors in Higher Common Environments
    • Low Capacitive and Resistive Loading – Maintains Signal Fidelity and Reduces DC Biasing Interactions
  • Versatile Mechanical Performance
    • Compact Probe Head Size for Probing Small Geometry Circuit Elements
    • DUT Attachment Accessories Enable Connection to Fine-spaced SMDs
    • Robust Design for Reliability
  • Easy to Use
    • Connects Directly to DPO7000, DPO4000, and MSO4000 Series Oscilloscopes Using TekVPI Probe Interface
    • Provides Automatic Units Scaling and Readout on the Oscilloscopes Display
    • Easy Access to Probe Comp Box Controls or Oscilloscope Probe Menu Display for Probe Status, Setup Control, and Diagnostic Information
  • Integrated Scope/Probe System
    • Direct Connection to and Powered from TekVPI™ Oscilloscope Interface (Connects directly to TekVPI scopes without the need of an external power supply, like many competitors require)
    • Single-button Oscilloscope Probe Menu Access
    • Setup and Control from Probe Comp Box or Oscilloscope User Interface
    • AutoZero - Zeros Out Output Offset
    • Remote GPIB/USB Probe Control Through the Oscilloscope (Requires TEK-USB-488 Adapter for GPIB control on DPO4000 and MSO4000)

Applications

  • Design, Validation, Debugging, and Characterization of Common High-speed Serial Bus Designs:
    • I2C
    • CAN/LIN
    • SPI
    • Serial ATA
    • Ethernet (GbE)
    • USB 2.0
    • FireWire (1394b)
  • Signal Integrity, Jitter, and Timing Analysis
  • Manufacturing Engineering and Test
Differential Probes - A Better Measurement Tool

Differential active probes provide truer signal reproduction and fidelity for high-frequency measurements. With ultra-low input capacitance and versatile device-under-test connection capabilities, the TDP1500 and TDP3500 Differential-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 up to 3.5 GHz

Power Requirements

TDP1500 and TDP3500 are powered directly by the DPO7000, DPO4000, and MSO4000 Series Oscilloscopes with TekVPI probe interface.

Recommended Oscilloscopes

DPO7000, DPO4000, MSO4000 Series Oscilloscopes with TekVPI probe interface.

Minimum System Requirements / Instrument 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.
