IsoVu™ Isolated Current Probes
Candidate for:EE Awards - Test & Measurement
The Tektronix TICP IsoVu Isolated Current Probe is the industry's first probe to use RF isolation technology and designed specifically for measuring the voltage across current shunts. Working in combination with precision shunt resistors or current viewing resistors, these probes use an innovative new RF isolation approach to deliver exceptional bandwidth, noise rejection and accuracy.

Bandwidth up to 1 GHz and high tolerance of fast-changing common mode voltage make these probes ideal for high-side shunt measurements on SiC and GaN power converters.

This same high bandwidth, common mode rejection and low noise contribution also make these IsoVu probes perfect for measuring small, fast current changes on mobile devices. Designers can clearly see changes in current draw between sleep and active modes, as well as during I/O and memory activity.

Key Features:

- Galvanic isolation between probe tip and the oscilloscope eliminates ground loops and enables very high common mode rejection of 140 dB CMRR at DC, up to 90 dB at 1 MHz

- Available in three bandwidths: 1 GHz, 500 MHz, and 250 MHz

- Maximum common mode voltage: 1.8 kV; For use in a Pollution Degree 1 environment; transient level not to exceed 5 kVpk
- Wide current measurement range determined by the shunt used

- In a 1X configuration, the TICP Series probe’s 50 Ω input offers extremely low noise of <4.7 nV / √Hz (<150 μVRMS at 1 GHz)

- Compatible with Tektronix 4, 5, and 6 Series MSO oscilloscopes
