Current probe TICP Series

for oscilloscopesbroadband

Overview
Make accurate shunt-based dynamic current measurements with the TICP series isolated current probes. High bandwidth options, flexible differential ranges, full galvanic and RF isolation, and very low noise enable precise measurements on floating shunts and current viewing resistors (CVRs) in power electronics.

Key benefits

• Measure DC to hundreds of MHz when paired with high-performance shunts or CVRs.
• RF isolation between the probe tip and oscilloscope eliminates ground loops and reduces common-mode noise.
• Low attenuation and 50 Ω input impedance deliver minimal measurement noise contribution.
• Seamless TekVPI™ integration with Tektronix 4, 5 and 6 Series MSO oscilloscopes for probe detection, power and scope-based parameter adjustment.

Applications
Optimized for high-side and floating shunt measurements in power electronics, including SiC and GaN power converters, high-side FET switching analysis, low-power IoT/mobile device current profiling, and double-pulse switching loss measurements.
