CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Use an eye-shield when cleaning with pressurized air. Hardened dirt can be
removed with a paint brush, cotton tipped swab or cloth dampened with a
water and mild detergent solution. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents
that might damage the plastic parts.
SPECIFIC COMPONENT REPLACEMENT INFORMATION
Disconnect the instrument from the power source before removing or replacing components.
The pushbutton switches are not repairable and should be replaced if defective. Components which are mounted on the circuit board associated with the
pushbutton switch can be replaced using the normal replacement procedure.

SPECIFICATION
Introduction
h Type 7A22 Vertical Plug-in is
enticd
amplifier with excellent common-mode reiection char-
acteristics and high gain for low level applications.
The DC Offset capability of the Type 7A22 allows the
display of the very small low-frequency signals containing
a
large DC component, at deflection factors not possible with
AC coupling. The vertical deflection factor range of the
Type 7A22 is from 10 pV to 10 V. The high and low frequency —3 dB points
to set the bandwidth of the instrument. Thus, for low fre-
quency applications the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved
by restricting the bandwidth of the Type 7A22. The bandwidths selection and excellent drift-with-time
provide measurement capabilities in the biomedical, trans-
ducer, and other areas which require stable, low deflection
factor, low noise measurements.
The Type 7A22 is designed for use in Tektronix 7000 Series
oscilloscopes.
The electrical characteristics described in this section are

GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
Trace Drift
The environment in which the Type 7A22 is operated and
the inherent characteristics of the Type 7A22 influence trace
drift. Therefore, to determine trace drift for
vironment refer to the Specification Section. In environment
in which the ambient temperature does not vary
as an air-conditioned building) the trace drift generally will
not exceed 10 ~LV in one hour.
Input Gate Current
When using the .1 mV/DIV to 10 ILV/DIV ranges for measurement with
where the source impedance is high

DC Offset Operation
By using the DC OFFSET controls, it is possible to use the
Type 7A22 differentially in a slide-back mode, to observe
small signal whose DC potential difference may be considerable. The offset is continuously adjustable from +1 V to
–1 V when the VOLTS/DIV switch is in the 10µV to 10mV
positions. In the 20mV, 50mV and .1 V positions of the
VOLTS/DIV switch, the 1 V offset is effectively multiplied by
the input attenuator to a range of ±10 V. Table 2-1 sum-
marizes the effective DC offset voltages internally available
for all the VOLTS/DIV switch positions. The table also lists
the input attenuator that is switched into the amplifier circuit
for the various VOLTS/DIV switch positions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Feedback Amplifiers
Since the Type 7A22 utilizes several multi-stage feedback
amplifiers, a brief review of feedback systems in general
is given.
Fig. 3-1 represents a generalized feedback system in which
it is desired to produce an output signal accurately and stably
related to the input. The arrangement of Fig. 3-1 causes the
modified output to be nearly equal to the input. Any difference between these is detected by the comparator, which
produces an error signal equal to the difference, and applies
this error to the amplifier, which amplifies the error and
feeds back a correction to’ reduce the ‘original error
The input to the modifier (the system output) is
curately related to the system input, provided the
is constructed of stable components.
Another way of looking at the system is to start at the
output and work backward. Specifically, assume an amplifier gain of 10,000 and
divider. Assume
volt, and the error signal (output-gain)
input is 1.001 valts. In this case, the errar between the desired output [1 OX input) of 10.01 volts and the actual output
of 10.00 volts is only 10 mV, or 1 part in 1,000.

The comparator is FET Q,. Any change in the gate-to-source
bias voltage [dictated by the standing current established
by R, and the supply voltages) will cause
current, the change being applied as an error signal to the
input of the error amplifier.

Input Attenuators
To produce the vertical deflection factor indicated on the
front panel by the VOLTS/DIV switch, the gain of the
feedback amplifier in the gain switched amplifier circuit is
changed by switching the source resistor (R407) of Q404
A and B (See Schematic 2 ) for switch positions 10 µV to
10 mV. For switch positions above 10 mV, input attenuators
are switched by S108 into the input circuit of the Type 7A22,
in conjunction with the gain switching resistors, R407, to
produce the selected deflection factors.
These attenuators are frequency-compensated voltage
dividers. For DC and low frequency signals, they are pri-
marily resistive dividers (e. g., R108C, R108D) and the voltage
attenuation is determined by the resistance ratio in the cir-

at the lower frequencies that their effect is negligible. However, at higher frequencies, the reactance of the capacitors
decreases and the attenuator becomes primarily a capa-
citive voltage divider (e.g., C108C, C108D).
In addition to providing constant attenuation at all frequencies within the bandwidth of the instrument, the input
attenuators are designed to maintain the same input RC
characteristics (1 megohm in parallel with 47 pF) for each
setting of the VOLTS/DIV switch. Each attenuator contains
an adjustable capacitor (e.g. C108C) to provide correct attenuation at high frequencies, and an adjustable shunt ca-
pacitor to provide correct input capacitance.
Gate Current Compensation
The leakage current associated with the gates of the input
FETs may be as high as 100 pA. This 100 pA of leakage
current (through 1 megohm to ground, R111 or R211) will
produce an offset of 100 µV, which at high input sensitivities
is not acceptable. To compensate this effect, the gates of
the input FETs may be adjusted to zero volts by returning
R111, R211 through variable controls R115 and R215 to a
slightly negative supply voltage (see Fig. 3-4).
Leakage current associated with the gates of the input
FETs and the overdrive protection diodes increases rapidly
with temperature, approximately doubling for every 10” C.
To compensate this increase, a temperature sensitive input
current balancing network is included, using thermistors as
the sensing elements.
As the voltage across R111 and R211 increases due to increasing FET gate current at increased temperatures, an equal
voltage change is produced in the thermistor compensating
circuit, maintaining the FET gate level at zero volts.
The gate current compensation becomes inoperative if the
straps are removed for high input impedance operation.
Input Amplifier
The input amplifier circuit in the Type 7A22 is made up
of two identical feedback amplifiers connected in a differ-

ential configuration with a push-pull output. The power
supply voltages (except at the output) for each feedback
amplifier are obtained from a power supply that is boot-
strapped to the common-mode input signal. This improves
the CMRR of the amplifier, Input overdrive protection is
provided in the input circuit to prevent damage to the semiconductors if a large overdrive is inadvertently applied to
the input.
Any amplifier of this type, in which the feedback is taken
to the input element, is likely to exhibit a negative resistance
component of impedance at higher frequencies. If the input
signal source impedance is inductive with a sufficiently high
“Q”, the amplifier could oscillate. C115, R116, R117 and
C215, C217 compensate for this negative input resistance.
X 15 Preamp. The feedback amplifiers in the + and —
inputs are identical except for circuit numbers, and operate
in a coupled differential mode as described previously under-
feedback amplifiers.
In the actual circuit (see Schematic 1 ) the + feedback
amplifier consists of the comparator Q133A, error amplifier
Q144A, Q153, feedback modifier R151, R153 and output load
resistor R159. R151 is the gain setting resistor for the ampli-
fier, and the approximate gain of the amplifier can be de-

Any common-mode changes that occur in the input amplifier, except at the output, are coupled to the power supply
through Q314. Q314 is an emitter follower whose gain is
maintained very close to unity by the minimum loading
presented to its output by the high collector impedance of
Q304 and Q324, thus achieving good bootstrap efficiency.
Common Mode Reiection. One of the primary func-
tions of the X 15 preamp is to reiect any common-mode component in the input signals, and amplify only the difference.
In the extreme case of the inputs tied together and

allow
a
differential slideback measurement, i.e.: to buck
out small DC components of input signals and allow the
amplifier to amplify only the varying components, while
keeping the differential capability. This means that when
voltage is applied across the inputs, some means must be
found to balance out the resultant output current. Fig. 3-9
illustrates how this is done.
Fig. 3-9A shows the standing currents for zero input. Fig.
3-98 shows the currents with
+input. This would cause an i.’ of 1 mA to flow through
R151, R251. However, if this 1 mA is supplied as shown by
the offset generator, then no net output current results. Both
the Q1 33A and Q133B source currents and the output standing currents, iO’, remain at their zero signal value, 2 mA
and 5 mA respectively.
Offset Generator. The offset generator produces the
adjustable balanced offset current for use in the X 15 preamp.
Due to the wide range of the offset system (200,000 div at
10 NV per div) stable components are used and circuit techniques which minimize drift and noise are employed in the
offset generator.
control is used to obtain adequate resolution at low deflection factors.
The functional arrangement of the offset generator is
shown in Fig. 3-10. In the reference voltage generator the OFFSET control, R270, taps an adjustable portion (Vlb) of the
voltage across the reference Zener VR270, and
age (Vl.) is taken from the voltage divider formed by R271,
R279 (approximately 50% of the reference voltage); thus, the
difference voltage (Vlb–VIJ is adjustable over the range of
at least —4 V to +4 V.
This adustable difference voltage is applied to the inputs of
a
balanced feedback amplifier conceptually similar to that
described previously under differential configuration. In amplifier
“A”, the feedback action forces the —input voltage
(also the output voltage) V,, to follow the +input V,.. In
similar manner, vzb follows Vl~ in amplifier “B”. The differ-
ential input (V~b—V~,) is therefore reproduced across resistors

of the amplifier and out their drains to the X 15 preamp.
When the offset is not in use V,b is switched to the fixed

the LF —3 dB POINT switch). V1. is adjustable over
range with respect to Vlb by the COARSE DC BAL control,

3-11
TM 11-6625-2749-14&P
With a 1 X probe (or no probe) connected, Q614 is turned
off, and the deflection factor, in the readout display, is determined by the setting of the Readout Switch, S407, (part
of the VOLTS/DIV switch) only.
With a 10X probe connected to the input ( + or –) , the
bias on Q614 will allow 100 µA of collector current to flow.
This increases the deflection factor (in the readout display)
by a factor of 10.
When different-attenuation divider probes are connected
to the + and — INPUT connectors, the displayed readout
will be the probe tip deflection factor of the larger divider.
For example: if a 10X probe is connected to the +INPUT
and a 1OOX probe is connected to the —INPUT the readout
will display the deflection factor at the tip of the 1OOX
probe. The 100X probe will set the bias on Q614 to allow
200 µA of collector current which will increase the deflection
factor (in the readout display) by a factor of 100.
This means that the Indicator Oscilloscope displayed readout will give the correct deflection factor from the probe tip,
for o single probe or two probes having the same attenuation
factor, whereas the VOLTS/DIV knob on the plug-in will dis-
play only the plug-in deflection factor.
Trace Identify
The TRACE IDENTIFY button, when pressed, does two
things:
1. It causes the troce, representing the output of the Type
kfl
7A22, to move a small amount by inserting a 2
R622, from ground through CR630 to the junction of R632 and
R634. This shunts a small amount of the output current
causing the trace to move.
2. Forms a voltage divider from the —15 V supply through
R630 and R622, placing the base of Q614 at approximately
—1.5 V. This low value of bias will cause Q614 to turn on
hard (1 ,000 µA collector current) when interface connector
B33 is interrogated, erasing the readout display and causing
the word “IDENTIFY” to appear.
These two actions aid in identifying the Type 7A22 trace
when multiple traces are displayed. When the IDENTIFY
button is released, the readout is restored to its previous
display.

system, refer to the appropriate Indicator Oscilloscope

CAUTION
Repair of cam-type switches should be undertaken
only by experienced personnel. Switch alignment
and spring tension of the contacts must be carefully maintained for proper operation of the switch.
Far assistance in maintenance of the cam-type
switches, contact your local Tektronix Field Office
or representative.
5. Cam-Type
A cam-type switch repair kit including necessary
teals, instructions and replacement contacts is available from Tektronix, Inc. Order Tektronix Part
No. 040-0541-00.
The cam-type switch consists of a rotating cam, which is
rotated by a front-panel knob, and a set of contacts mounted
on the adjacent circuit board. These switch contacts are actuated by lobes on the cam. The VOLTS/DIV, LF -3 dB
POINT and HF -3 dB POINT cam-type switches can be
disassembled for inspection, cleaning, repair or replacement,
as follows:
A. LF -3 dB POINT and HF –3 dB POINT Switches
1. Remove the Bandwidth board as described in step 4.
2. Remove the two screws which hold the metal covers
in place. (The front switch on the Bandwidth board is the
LF -3 dB POINT Selector and the rear switch is the HF
-3 dB POINT Selector). The switches are now open for
cleaning or inspection.
3. To completely remove either of the two switches from
the board, remove the four screws (from the back side of
the board) which hold the cam assembly to the circuit
board.
4. To remove the cam from the front support block,
remove the retaining ring from the shaft on the front of the
switch and slide the cam out of the support block. Be
careful not to lose the small detent roller (between detent
and detent spring).
5. To replace defective switch contacts, unsolder the
damaged contact and clean solder from the hole in the
circuit board. Position the new contact in the hole in
proper alignment relative to the other switch contacts and
with the mating area on the circuit board (alignment tool
provided in switch repair kit). Solder the new contact into
place; be sure that the spring end of the contact has ade-
quate clearance from the circuit board.
6. To re-install the switch assembly, reverse the above
procedure.

NOTE
4. Loosen the set screw which secures the VARIABLE
shaft to the VARIABLE control assembly.
5. Pull the VARIABLE shaft through the front of the in-
strument.
6. Remove the 4 screws (from the rear side of the board)
which hold the rear cam assembly to the circuit board.
7. Remove the rear cam assembly.
To remove the front cam switch assembly, perform the pre-
ceding steps and then proceed as follows:
1. Remove the VOLTS/DIV knob.
2. Loosen the ½-inch hex bushing nut which secures the
front support block.
3. Remove the plastic bushing from front of panel.
4. Remove the retaining ring from the shaft at the front
of the switch.
5. Remove the 4 screws which secure the support blocks
to the board.
6. Loosen the 2 set screws in the half of the flexible
coupling and remove coupling.
7. Remove the rear support block by carefully lifting the
block away from the circuit board far enough to clear the
alignment prelection on the bottom of the block. Carefully slide the rear block toward the rear (off the shaft).
8. Slide the cam shaft carefully (keep cam lobes clear
of contacts] out of the front support block and bushing
assembly.
9. To re-assemble, reverse the above procedure.
Interconnecting Pins
6.
Interconnecting pins are used on the Type 7A22 to inter-
connect circuit boards. When interconnection is made at a
circuit board, the pin is soldered into the board. Two types
of mating connectors are used for these interconnecting pins.
If the mating conector is mounted on a plug-on circuit board,
a special socket is soldered into the board. If the mating connector is on the end of a lead, an end-lead pin connector
(which mates with the interconnecting pin) is used. The following information provides the replacement procedures for
the types of interconnecting methods.

B. VOLTS/DIV Switch
1. Remove the Bandwidth board as described in step 4.
2. Remove the two screws which hold each of the
metal switch covers in place.
3. Push the VARIABLE (CAL IN) to the ‘IN’ position.
4-4
To replace a pin which is mounted on a circuit board,
first disconnect any pin connectors. Then unsolder the damaged pin and pull it out of the circuit board with a pair of
pliers. Be careful not to damage the wiring on the board
with too much heat. Ream out the hole in the circuit board
with a 0,031 -inch drill. Then remove the ferrule from the new
interconnecting pin and press the new pin into the hale in
TM 11-6625-2749-14&P
the circuit board. Position the pin in the same manner as the
old pin. Then, solder the pin on both sides of the circuit
board. If the old pin was bent at an angle to mate with a
connector, bend the new pin to match the associated pins.
B. CIRCUIT-BOARD PIN SOCKETS
The pin sockets on the circuit boards are soldered to the
rear of the board. To replace one of these sockets, first
unsolder the pin (use a vacuum-type resoldering tool to remove excess solder]. Then straighten the tabs on the socket
and remove it from the hole in the circuit board. Place the
new socket in the circuit board hole and press the tabs down
against the board. Solder the tabs of the socket to the circuit board; be careful not to get solder into the socket.
NOTE
The spring tension of the pin sockets ensures a
good connection between the circuit board and
the pin. This spring tension can be destroyed by
using the pin sockets as connecting points for
spring-loaded probe tips, alligator clips, etc.
C. END-LEAD PIN CONNECTORS
The pin connectors used to connect the wires to the interconnecting pins are clamped to the ends of the associated
leads. To replace damaged end-lead pin connectors, remove
the old pin connector from the end of the lead and clamp
the replacement connector to the lead.
Some of the pin connectors are grouped together and
mounted in a plastic holder; the overall result is that these
connectors are removed and re-installed as a multi-pin connector when it is replaced. An arrow is stamped on the circuit board and a matching arrow is molded into the plastic
housing of the multi-pin connector. Be sure these arrows are
aligned as the multi-pin connector is replaced. If the individual end-lead
holder, note the
pin connectors are removed from the plastic
color of the individual wires for replacement.
TROUBLESHOOTING

2. Inspect the front panels of the Type 7A22 and indicator
oscilloscope to be sure that the trouble is not from an incorrect control setting.
3. Insure that the indicator oscilloscope is not at fault
by inserting a known-good plug-in unit and checking its
operation.
4. Determine all trouble symptoms.
5. Perform a visual inspection of the Type 7A22.
6. Repair or replace obviously defective parts.
7. Troubleshoot the Type 7A22 as necessary.
8. Recalibrate the Type 7A22.
Indicator Oscilloscope
The quickest check of the oscilloscope is to use it with
a good plug-in unit, or check the questionable plug-in with
another oscilloscope. Refer to the oscilloscope manual to
verify proper operation of the oscilloscope.
Operating Procedures and Control Settings
Refer to the Operating Instructions Section of this manual
to verify operating procedures and front panel control settings of the Type 7A22.
Trouble Symptoms
The Type 7A22 response to all front panel controls should
be observed. The first-time operation in Section 2 or the
Performance Check in Section 5 may be used for this purpose. All trouble symptoms should be evaluated and compared against each other. A casualty will often create a
combination of symptoms that, when considered together,
will pinpoint the trouble.
Visual Inspection
In physically examining the Type 7A22, take special note
of the area indicated by evaluation of symptoms. Look for
loose or broken connections, improperly seated transistors
and burned or otherwise damaged parts. Repair or replace
all obviously defective components.
Calibration Check
Troubles can frequently be located and corrected by recalibrating the instrument. Unless the casualty has definitely
been isolated to a specific circuit, it is recommended that
the calibration procedure contained in Section 5 be performed to provide a logical circuit troubleshooting sequence.
If trouble occurs in the Type 7A22, the following pro-
cedure is recommended to accomplish rapid and effective
repairs.

Diodes
A diode can rechecked for an open or for a short circuit
by measuring the resistance between terminals with an
ohmmeter set to the R X 1 k scale. The diode resistance
should be very high in one direction and very low when the
meter leads are reversed. Do not check tunnel diodes or
back diodes with an ohmmeter.
Some diodes used in the Type 7A22 are color coded to
identify the diode type. The” cathode end of each glass-
encased diode is indicated by a stripe, a series of stripes
or o dot. For most diodes with a series of stripes, the first
stripe (either pink or blue) indicates a Tektronix part and the
next three stripes indicate the three significant figures of
the Tektronix Part Number. Example: a diode color coded
blue-brown-gray-green indicates a diode with Tektronix Part
No. 152-0185-00. The cathode and anode of a metal-encased .
diode can be identified by the diode symbol marked on the
body. See Fig. 4-4, DIODE POLARITY AND COLOR CODES.
Resistors
The types and accuracies of resistors found in this instru-
ment vary in accordance with the circuit needs, Replacement
resistors should be of the same type and must be at least
as accurate as those originally contained in the circuit, to
maintain the high common-mode rejection ratio. The size,
location and lead length are often critical because of frequency considerations.
