TPP0500B
Overview
The TPP0500B is a high-bandwidth passive voltage probe designed for use with Tektronix oscilloscopes featuring the TekVPI interface. It provides a 500 MHz bandwidth and 10X attenuation with a high input impedance of 10 Megohms, making it a versatile tool for general-purpose electronics debugging. The probe automatically communicates its scale factor and units to the oscilloscope, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
Why Choose This Part
This probe features a very low input capacitance of less than 4 pF, which minimizes circuit loading and ensures accurate signal representation at high frequencies. The integrated TekVPI interface allows for seamless integration with modern oscilloscopes, providing automatic scaling and easy-to-reach probe menu controls.
Applications
Getting Started
To use the TPP0500B, simply connect it to a TekVPI-enabled oscilloscope channel; the instrument will automatically detect the 10X attenuation. Before taking measurements, perform a probe compensation routine using the oscilloscope's calibration terminal to ensure flat frequency response.
