TAP2500 and TAP3500 Single-ended Active FET Probes provide excellent high-speed electrical and mechanical performance required for today?s digital system designs. Specifically designed for use and direct connection to oscilloscopes with the TekVPI? probe interface, the TAP2500 and TAP3500 Active FET probes achieve high-speed signal acquisition and measurement fidelity by solving three traditional problems:

• Lower DUT loading effects with ≤0.8 pF input capacitance and 40 kΩ input resistance
• Versatile DUT connectivity for attaching to small SMDs
• Preserves instrument bandwidth at the probe tip for up to 3.5 GHz oscilloscopes
