Tektronix P7225 2.5 GHz X 10 Active Probe

The Tektronix P7225 is a 2.5 GHz active probe engineered for high-fidelity signal acquisition in demanding design verification and characterization environments. It delivers minimal circuit loading through ultra-low input capacitance (≤ 0.8 pF) and high input resistance (40 kΩ), making it ideal for mid-to-high bandwidth oscilloscope systems. The 10x attenuation design supports dynamic range measurements up to 8 Vp-p with rise time performance of less than 140 ps, enabling accurate signal integrity and timing analysis across high-speed digital and analog applications.
