Tektronix P6960 34-Channel Single Ended Probe

The Tektronix P6960 is a 34-channel single-ended logic analyzer probe engineered for high-density circuit debugging and fast bus characterization. It leverages D-Max® Probing Technology to achieve minimal circuit intrusion while maintaining signal integrity across complex digital systems. The probe head delivers 32 data channels plus 2 clock/qualifier channels, supported by two 34-channel module-end connectors and a 1.8 m cable.

– Key Features

• High channel density enables capture of complex digital architectures
• Sub-0.7 pF capacitive loading minimizes measurement artifacts on sensitive circuits
• Connectorless probing system eliminates onboard connector requirements
• Compatible with both 0.100 in. and 2 mm square pin configurations
• Optional flying leadset provides flexibility for non-high-density layouts
• D-Max® Technology reduces probe footprint while preserving signal fidelity

– Typical Applications

• High-density PCB debugging and validation
• Multi-channel digital signal acquisition
• Fast serial and parallel bus characterization
• Complex system state machine analysis

– Compatibility & Integration

The P6960 interfaces with Tektronix TLA7000 Series, TLA6200 Series, TLA7ACx Series, TLA7BBx Series, and TLA7BCx Series logic analyzer modules. Board-level integration requires 0.100 in. or 2 mm square pin patterns with immersion gold surface finish recommended. Probe attachment holes should remain floating or isolated from ground planes to optimize performance.
