Tektronix P6205 Single-Ended Low Voltage Probe
Manufacturer: Tektronix
Model Number: P6205
The Tektronix P6205 FET probe is an active 10X-attenuating probe that is compatible with Tektronix TDS 500 Series, DSA 600 Series, 11000 Series, and CSA 404 oscilloscopes and plug-in units.
The P6205 probe provides high-frequency measurement capability without the capacitive loading and performance limitations inherent in passive resistive-divider type probes. FETs are used in the P6205 to establish the characteristic high input impedance at high frequency of an active probe. The P6205 features a 750 MHz bandwidth with an input impedance of 1 MΩ in parallel with 2 pF. You must terminate the P6205 probe output into 50 Ω.
The P6205 includes the TEKPROBE™ Level 2 interface. When used with a fully TEKPROBE interface-compatible oscilloscope, the P6205 probe is powered by the host instrument and provides the oscilloscope with the probe model number, serial number, and attenuation factor. When installed on a fully compatible oscilloscope, the oscilloscope channel input is automatically set to 50 Ω and the display readouts are corrected for the probe attenuation factor.
