TCPA300 Tektronix 100 MHz Probe Amplifier

Additional Features:

• 100 MHz, AC/DC Current Probe Amplifier
• Automatic scaling and units-Oscilloscope on-screen readout of magnitude and amps reduces measurement errors with no more hand calculations
• AC/DC input coupling
• Low insertion impedance reduces device under test loading
• Split-core construction allows easy circuit connection
• Status indicators provide visual operating status and notification of potential error conditions - degauss, probe open, overload, not terminated into 50 Ω, noncompatible probe type
• Low DC drift and noise allows improved low-level current measurements
• 3rd party safety certification

Applications:

Development and analysis solutions for designers, installers, and service personnel in telecom, data comm, computer, and semiconductor power electronics environments for:

• Power supplies (switching and linear)
• Semiconductor devices (SCRs, IGBTs, MOSFETs, CMOS, BJTs)
• Power inverters/converters
• Electronic ballasts
• Industrial/consumer electronics
• Mobile communications (phone, satellite, relay stations)
• Motor drives
• Transportation systems (electronic vehicles, electric trains, locomotives, avionics)

The TCPA300 amplifier, when used with TCP312A, TCP305A, or TCP303 probes, provides a wide range of current measurement capability and spans the gap between low-level milliamp measurements to very high current levels.  These three probes provide current measurement capabilities of 30 A, 50 A, and 150 A DC continuous.
