P7260 Single-ended Active Probe

The P7260 is the fastest active probe in the world. It provides high bandwidth, low circuit loading, low noise, and accurate probing solutions for high-speed circuit designers. This probe has a small probe head for accessing connection points in tight physical constraints and with today's fine pitch circuitry.

The P7260 is the world's first probe to be developed with silicon germanium (SiGe).It features a toggle/switch that offers the choice of using the probe at either 1.5 V_p-p or 6 V_p-p dynamic range.

TekConnect interface takes probe intelligence to the next level, providing probe power, automated signaling of scale factor and offset voltage. It also adds automatic bandwidth adjustment and voltage measurement. The TekConnect interface extends useful bandwidth and signal fidelity out to 18 GHz. A full complement of versatile probe tip accessories helps connect to the wide range of devices faced by digital designers.
