Current shunt probes feature RF isolation

TICP Series IsoVu current probes from Tektronix provide complete galvanic RF isolation between the measurement system and DUT. This isolation eliminates ground loops and significantly reduces common mode noise. The probes ensure high precision and safety when measuring fast-changing, shunt-based current in both low- and high-voltage systems.

The series includes three models with bandwidths of 1 GHz, 500 MHz, and 250 MHz. According to Tektronix, TICP current probes deliver over 30 times the common-mode rejection of conventional differential voltage probes, achieving 140 dB CMRR at DC and up to 90 dB at 1 MHz.

With minimal noise contribution, the 50-Ω probe input in a 1X configuration provides ultra-low noise levels of less than 4.7 nV/√Hz, or under 150 µV at 1 GHz. TICP probes use a TekVPI interface and work seamlessly with Tektronix 4, 5, and 6 series MSO oscilloscopes.

The TICP Series IsoVu probes are now available for order and will start shipping this month.
