7 in stock

Overview

The TPP1000 is a high-bandwidth passive voltage probe designed for use with Tektronix oscilloscopes featuring the TekVPI interface. It provides 1 GHz of analog bandwidth with 10X attenuation, offering the performance of an active probe with the ruggedness and dynamic range of a passive design. This probe is engineered to minimize capacitive loading on the circuit under test, ensuring high signal fidelity for high-speed digital and analog measurements.

Why Choose This Part

The TPP1000 delivers 1 GHz bandwidth with an industry-leading low input capacitance of less than 4 pF, significantly reducing the impact of the probe on high-frequency signals. Its TekVPI interface enables automatic scaling and unit communication with the oscilloscope, while the 300 V CAT II rating provides a wider dynamic range than most active probes in this frequency class.

Applications

High-Speed Digital Design
Characterizing signal integrity, rise times, and propagation delays in circuits with clock speeds approaching 1 GHz.
Switching Power Supply Analysis
Measuring high-voltage switching waveforms up to 300 V standard with high frequency components.
Communication Bus Debugging
Analyzing high-speed serial data interfaces where low capacitive loading is critical to prevent circuit detuning.

Getting Started

Connect the probe to any TekVPI-enabled Tektronix oscilloscope; the instrument will automatically detect the probe and set the attenuation to 10X. Use the included grounding accessories, such as the spring ground or PCB adapter, to maintain the 1 GHz bandwidth by minimizing ground lead inductance during high-frequency measurements.

Also Consider

TPP0500B Tektronix - A 500 MHz version of the same passive probe series for applications that do not require the full 1 GHz bandwidth but need the same TekVPI integration.
