The Tektronix TICS0500 is a high-precision 500 mΩ wideband shunt designed for use with the IsoVu isolated current probes TICP100, TICP050, and TICP025. It was developed for demanding current measurements requiring high sensitivity and enables precise capture of current waveforms while offering a wide bandwidth.
With a bandwidth of 250 MHz and a rise time of just 1.6 ns, the TICS0500 is particularly well-suited for analyzing busbars with lower currents where higher sensitivity is required. It supports highly accurate measurements in power converters, switching power supplies, and modern SiC, GaN, FET, and IGBT applications. Thanks to integrated temperature compensation, isolation, and protection mechanisms such as fuses and spark gaps, the shunt delivers reliable and reproducible measurement results even under demanding test conditions.
