The Tektronix 1103 Probe Power Supply delivers external power to TekProbe BNC interface probes, enabling their use with oscilloscopes and digitizers lacking integrated probe power. The unit supports two independently controlled channels, each with adjustable DC offset and dedicated BNC signal output.
Technical Specifications
• Dual independent channels with TekProbe BNC inputs
• Output voltages: +15 VDC (±2%), −15 VDC (±2%), +5 VDC (±2%), −5 VDC (±2%)
• Maximum output current: 300 mA per channel
• Power consumption: 35 W maximum, 15 W typical
• Voltage offset control: adjustable ±1 VDC via front panel
• TekProbe BNC connector pinout: Pin 3 (+5 VDC), Pin 4 (+15 VDC), Pin 5 (Offset ±1 V), Pin 6 (−5 VDC), Pin 7 (−15 VDC)
• Dimensions: 7 × 6.2 × 3.9 inches
– Key Features
• Front-panel voltage offset control for probes with offset capability
• Independent channel operation for simultaneous dual-probe measurements
• BNC signal output per channel for direct instrument connection
– Typical Applications
• High-speed digital systems: ECL, GaAs, MOS (CMOS, FastCMOS, BiCMOS, TTL)
• Component design and characterization (amplitude levels, propagation delay, timing, bandwidths, rise times)
• Manufacturing test and engineering
• Educational research
– Compatibility & Integration
Supports TekProbe BNC interface probes including P6235, P6245, P6246, P6247, P6248, P6249, and P6330. Compatible with probes such as P6205, P6243, P6701B, P6703B, P5205, P5210, ADA400A, and TCP202. Works with oscilloscopes and digitizers without native TekProbe power, including 11800, CSA800, TDS8000, and CSA8000 platforms. Probe performance may vary with cable length, oscilloscope input impedance, and adapter configuration.
