Template:Plugin Sidebar 2 The Tektronix P6202 is a 500 MHz active 10× FET probe with 50 Ω output impedance, introduced in 1976. The 6202 has its own mains power supply, the 6202A (1980) has a LEMO connector fitting the 7000-series scopes' probe power outlets.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Rise time | < 0.7 ns |
| Attenuation | 10 : 1 (100 : 1 with additional 10× attenuator tip) |
| Input impedance | 10 MΩ // 2 pF with or without additional 10× attenuator tip, +2 pF for AC coupling tip |
| Input range | ± 6 V (± 60 V with additional 10× attenuator tip) |
| DC Offset range | ± 55 V (± 200 V with additional 10× attenuator tip) |
| Max input | ± 200 V (nondestructive) |
| Signal cable length | 2 m (6.5') |
Internals
An initial 8 MΩ : 2 MΩ divider drives a dual JFET (source follower + current source), a PNP emitter follower and finally an NPN emitter follower as a cable driver. These stages use SMD components located in the probe tip. The probe control box at the end of the coax only contains a ±7 V regulator, a switchable 50 Ω terminator, and the offset potentiometers that supply ±15 V to the bottom of the input divider. There is no input protection apart from the divider.
