Tektronix is a known leader when it comes to signal fidelity and signal acquisition. Building on our history of market-leading innovations in probing, we invented a revolutionary probing architecture called “TriMode™ Probing” that defines the next-generation industry benchmark for usability and signal fidelity. This architecture changes the rules of probing and allows you to work more effectively and efficiently. By enabling unique functionality, the P7520A TriMode probes allow you to switch between differential, single ended, and common mode measurements without moving the probe from its connection points. Improved productivity is achieved by reducing setup time. One setup can be used to make the three different types of measurements all with the press of a button. The TriMode Probe architecture for the P7520A probes continues the Tektronix tradition of high-bandwidth and low-DUT loading while providing improved connectivity and value. • Bandwidth (Typical) >20 GHz, A-B mode; >18 GHz, P75PDM, other modes • Rise Time (10-90%) (Typical) <27 ps, A-B mode; <29 ps, other modes • Rise Time (20-80%) (Typical) <18 ps, A-B mode; <20 ps, other modes • Attenuation (User Selectable) 5X or 12.5X • Differential Input Range ±0.625 V (5X); ±1.6 V (12.5X) • Operating Voltage Window +3.7 to –2.0 V • Offset Voltage Range +2.5 to –1.5 V, A-B mode; +3.4 to –1.8 V, other modes • DC Input Resistance (Differential) 100k ohms • Noise <33 nV / vHz (5X); <48 nV / vHz (12.5X) • CMRR, (Differential Mode) >60 dB at DC; >40 dB at 50 MHz; >30 dB at 1 GHz; >20 dB at 10 GHz; >12 dB at 20 GHz • Nondestructive Input Range ±15 V • Interface TekConnect™ • Cable Length 1 meter
