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 and TAP3500 Single-ended Active FET 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 and DPO4000 Series oscilloscopes, the TAP2500 and TAP3500 Active FET probes achieve 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 3.5 GHz
