Specifications

These specifications apply to the TDP7700 Series probes when installed on an 6 Series MSO oscilloscope with a bandwidth
greater than or equal to 10 GHz. The probe performance may be degraded if a probe is operated using an oscilloscope with
bandwidth less than the probe bandwidth. The probe and oscilloscope must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes
and be in an environment that does not exceed the allowed environmental limits. (See 

Environmental

 on page 27.)

Output zero, typical

±4 mV

Linearity, typical

±1%

Termination voltage range, typical ± 2.5 mV.

Overload indicator range, typical

The Overload indicator is active when the probe input is current limited or when an
input overvoltage condition is detected.

CMMR/DMRR, typical, unfiltered, probe only

DC-50 MHz
