Overview
The P5100A is a 500 MHz passive high-voltage probe designed for ground-referenced measurements up to 2500 Vpk. It features a high input impedance and readout coding that allows compatible oscilloscopes to automatically scale the display and units.
Why Choose This Part
The P5100A offers a wide 500 MHz bandwidth, which is critical for capturing fast rise-time transients in modern high-speed switching power circuits. Its integrated readout pin simplifies the workflow by eliminating manual probe attenuation settings on the oscilloscope.
Applications
Power Supply Design
Measuring primary-side switching waveforms and high-voltage DC rails in AC-DC converters.
