>8.0 GHz Z-Active Differential Probe for TekConnect® Interface.
The TEK-P7380 active probe architecture preserves high bandwidth while
providing improved connectivity with low loading. The Z-Active architecture is
a hybrid approach composed of a distributed attenuator topology feeding an
active probe amplifier. The P7380 Z-Active architecture uses a tiny passive
probe tip element that is separate from the amplifier, extending the usable
reach of the probe. In traditional active probes, adding this much length can
introduce signal fidelity problems. However the new P7380 architecture
maintains high DC input resistance and presents a higher AC impedance than
previous probe architectures.
The difference between the standard probe and the "A" version is that the "A" version will provide the customer greater Dynamic range in the 5X Attenuation range. The changes to the specifications are shown below.
P7360 and P7380: Dynamic Range is specified at 0.625V (Total 1.25 volts Peak-to-Peak) in the X5 attenuation range.
