Tektronix, Inc. Probe 80A03

The 80A03 is a probe from Tektronix. Additional Features: Interfaces Tektronix P7000 Series high-performance active and differential probes to TDS/CSA8000 series sampling scopes Enables true-differential probing using the Tektronix P7350 and P7350SMA 5 GHz Differential Probes Allows easy probing of SMDs with the small head design of P7000 Series probes and numerous adapters and accessories Seamless integration Automatically scales measurement for probe attenuation setting Requires no user adjustments Powered through the oscilloscope interface – requires no external power cord Integrated extender cable plugs into any of the four electrical sampling module slots Upgradeable to future higher-bandwidth active and differential probes Applications: Communications (Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand) Semiconductor Characterization & Validation (PCI-Express, Serial ATA, IEEE 1394, USB 2.0, RAMBUS, DDR) High-speed Digital Systems Design Component Design/Characterizat ion Manufacturing Engineering and Test The Tektronix 80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module extends the capabilities of the CSA/TDS8000 series oscilloscope and makes debugging today’s high-performance electrical and optical designs a little easier. Using the 80A03 with the CSA/TDS8000 series oscilloscope, design engineers can benefit from Tektronix industry-leading active and differential probes to measure signals on SMD pins and other challenging circuit features. The Tektronix 80A03 plugs into any of the four electrical sampling module slots on the CSA/TDS8000 and provides probe power and control for up to two Tektronix P7000 series probes. The seamless integration enables the CSA/TDS8000 oscilloscope to automatically adjust its scale factor to match the probe. The 80A03 is powered through the oscilloscope and requires no user adjustments or external power cords. The integrated extender cable places the probe near the circuit for easier probing without stretching the cables. An electrical sampling module is plugged directly into the slot on the 80A03 to provide the optimum signal fidelity and a short electrical path.
