7m cable with no performance degradation, flexible probe technology
Tektronix, a global test and measurement solutions company, recently launched the TAP1500L active single-ended probe with a 7-meter probe cable.
The launch of the TAP1500L probe continues Tektronix’s momentum for innovation in probing technology, following the success of the optically isolated IsoVu probe.
The TAP1500L features a 5.7 meter longer cable than the existing TAP1500 model, providing engineers with the ability to perform automated testing with flexibility and safety, which are critical requirements.
In particular, it provides the flexibility to deploy test stations to suit customers' unique needs when a flying probe is required, while ensuring safe performance of the probe, he explained.
It offers a 7-meter cable, 1 meter longer than competing products. This is especially useful for flying probe tester customers who need to route probes through an automated system, and in any situation where the device under test (DUT) needs to be further away from the oscilloscope.
Excellent electrical performance ensures accurate signal acquisition for high-speed designs, maintaining ≥1.5 GHz bandwidth, <267 ps rise time, and ≤1 pF input capacitance even over long cables.
The compact probe head provides versatile mechanical performance, even connecting to 0.5 mm pitch SMDs. It also connects directly to oscilloscopes with a TekVPI probe interface, providing automatic and intuitive unit scaling and readout on the oscilloscope display. No additional amplifier or software support is required.
The TAP1500L is ideal for a wide range of applications including high-speed digital system design, component characterization, manufacturing engineering, and educational research, and is suitable for measuring signals with voltage swings up to 16 V.
“The TAP1500L provides engineers with greater freedom of movement, which will be a huge benefit to our customers who use flying probe testers,” said Andrew Mumford, probe product manager at Tektronix.
