80A09 26 GHz ESD Protection Device Instructions
The Tektronix 80A09 is a DC-coupled voltage limiter that protects sensitive
electrical sampling module inputs from damage due to electric overload stress
(EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Voltages more than ±2 V can damage
the high-performance samplers (such as the 80E03 or 80E04) used in 8000 series
sampling oscilloscopes. The 80A09 dramatically reduces the likelihood that such
voltages will reach the sensitive high-bandwidth sampling diodes in the electrical
sampling module, ensuring that its performance is not degraded.
Best practices to prevent ESD
CAUTION.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the 80A09 and sampling
module electrical inputs and outputs. Observe the following guidelines to prevent
ESD when using the 80A09 or anytime that you are connecting signals or handling
the 80A09 or the 80E04 Electrical Sampling Module:
Always wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap when handling or connecting
the 80A09 to the 80E04 module, when connecting cables to the 80A09, or
when handling or installing sampling modules in the mainframe instrument.
Wear anti-static clothing and work in a static-free are when using sampling
modules.
Safely discharge the center lead of all cables to ground before connecting
them to the 80A09, sampling modules, or the oscilloscope mainframe.
Do not create an ESD antenna by leaving cables attached to the 80A09 or a
sampling module input with the other end of the cable open.
Always store and transport the 80A09 and sampling modules in a static-free
container, with all supplied terminations installed.
