P5205 Instructi on Manual

Specificatio ns

The specifications in Tables 2 through 6 apply to a P5205 probe

installed on a Tektronix TDS 460A oscilloscope. When the probe is

used with another oscilloscope, the oscilloscope must follow these

specifications:

H An input i mpedance of 1 MΩ

H An input c apacitance range of between 15 and 20 pF

H A bandwidth greater than 400 MHz

The probe must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes and be

in an environment that does not exceed the limits described in

Table 2.

Specifications for the P5205 probe fall into three c ategories:

warranted, typical, and nominal characteristics.

WARNING. Special fixtures are required to examine specifications at

the maximum frequency and voltage levels and should be conduct ed

only by qualified Service Personnel. See the Service section for more

detail.

Warranted Characteristics

Warranted characteristics in Tables 2 and 3 describe guaranteed

performance within tolerance limits or certain type-tested require-

ments. Warranted characteristics that have checks in the Perfor-

mance Verification section appear in boldface type.
