Connector Care
Use extra care when attaching or removing SMA
connectors. Turn only the nut, not the cable. Align
the connectors carefully before turning the nut.
Use light finger pressure to make this initial
connection. Then tighten the nut lightly with a
wrench. Ideally, the SMA connectors should be
tightened to 56 N-cm (5 in-lb) with a torque
wrench.
Operation
The 80A02 protection module passes the test
signal from the DUT to a sampling module,
providing EOS and ESD protection to the input of
the sampling module.
The FROM DUT connector of the protection
module is initially held disconnected from the
sampling module and terminated through a 50 Ω
termination installed on the TO TERM connector,
to remove EOS and ESD from the DUT. When
the module is engaged, (via the control input), the
signal is passed from the FROM DUT connector
to the TO SAMPLER connector, and on to the
sampling module.
CAUTION. No EOS or ESD protection is
provided if the TO TERM connector is not
terminated with the 50 Ω termination.
The following illustration is a typical
configuration when using the 80A02 module with
a Tektronix P8018 TDR Probe.

Safety Summary
To avoid potential hazards, use this product only
as specified.
While using this product, you may need to access
other parts of the system. Read the General Safety
Summary in other system manuals for warnings
and cautions related to operating the system.
To avoid fire or personal injury
Ground the product. This product is indirectly
grounded through the grounding conductor of the
mainframe power cord. To avoid electric shock,
the grounding conductor must be connected to
earth ground. Before making connections to the
input or output terminals of the product, ensure
that the product is properly grounded.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock
hazard, observe all ratings and markings on the
product. Consult the host instrument documentation for further ratings information before making
connections to the host instrument.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including
the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum
rating of that terminal.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you
suspect there is damage to this product, have it
inspected by qualified service personnel.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Product Description
The 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection Module protects
the sensitive input stage of instruments (like the
sampling bridge of electrical TDR sampling
modules) from damage due to electro-overstress
(EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the
device under test (DUT).
When used with the P8018 TDR probe, the
80A02 achieves static protection using normal
probing procedures — no intentional user
intervention (such as stepping on a foot switch) is
required. This eliminates instrument damage due
to human error in coordinating probing with
control switching to achieve static protection.
Installing and Removing the Module
Refer to the host instrument documentation for
proper installation and removal of modules.
CAUTION. Instrument modules are extremely
static sensitive. Always ground yourself
when handling modules.
The module is designed to install directly into any
available electrical sampling module slot of the
following Tektronix mainframes:

Controlling the Module
Two methods for controlling the switching of the
80A02 module are Manual and Auto. A stereo
phone input plug, when connected to the Probe
80A02 Module
controller input, can support both manual and auto
control; a mono phone plug can support manual
control only. See the illustrations below.

Manual Control. Manual control of the 80A02
control
module consists of either grounding or ungrounding the manual control section of either a stereo or
mono mini phone plug.
S Ungrounded, the 80A02 module connects the
FROM DUT connector to the TO TERM connector, removing static charge.
CAUTION. No EOS or ESD protection is
provided if the TO TERM connector is not
terminated.
S Grounded, the 80A02 module connects the
FROM DUT connector to the TO SAMPLER
connector, passing the signal from the DUT
along to a connected sampling module.
The Tektronix P8018 TDR probe provides manual
control of the 80A02 module.
Auto Control. Auto control of the 80A02 module
consists of applying a logic low or high signal to
the Auto control portion (middle conductor
section) of a stereo phone plug. The manual
control section of the stereo phone plug must be
left open (no connections) or grounded to avoid
accidentally engaging the 80A02 module (a mono
phone plug cannot provide Auto control):
S With a logic low, the 80A02 module connects
the FROM DUT connector to the TO TERM
connector, removing static charge.
S With a logic high, the 80A02 module con-
nects the FROM DUT connector to the TO
SAMPLER connector, passing the signal from
the DUT along to a connected sampling module.
Functional Check
Use the following procedures to check the
functionality of the 80A02 Protection Module.
Required equipment: Host instrument for the
80A02, stereo mini phone plug (with exposed
connections), and 0 V to 5 V DC variable voltage
supply.
1. Install the 80A02 Protection Module in an
appropriate host instrument slot.
2. Insert the stereo mini phone plug into the
PROBE CONTROLLER connector.
3. Check the manual control operation of the
80A02 module:
a. Identify the manual control connection
portion of the phone plug and short it to
the ground.
b. Listen for the relay to operate in the
80A02 module and that the ENGAGED
LED lights.
c. Disconnect the ground connection.
4. Check the auto control operation of the
80A02 module:
a. Identify the auto control connection
portion of the phone plug, set the voltage
supply to 0 V, and connect the supply to
the auto control connection.
b. Check that the relay in the 80A02 module
does not activate (no click sound) and that
the ENGAGED LED does not light while
adjusting the DC supply from 0 to
300 mV.
c. Check that the relay in the 80A02 module
activates (click sound) and that the
ENGAGED LED lights while adjusting
the DC supply from 1 to 5 V.
d. Disconnect the voltage supply.
5. Remove the mini phone plug.
