80E Series sampling modules
Hi all,
I've seen quite a few 80E series modules sell in "for parts" condition due to presumed ESD/EOS damage. I would really like an 80E04. A working 80E04 is typically $1500+ but I regularly see 80E03 in the $200-$400 range. The specs between these two are very similar, with the exception that the 80E04 has TDR functionality. The typical damage to this unit is to the front end module, a gold-plated case with a number of pins that connect to the main board. What are the changes that this front end module is the same between 80E04 and 80E03? I wonder if maybe the only difference between these two is that on 80E04 the TDR feature is enabled and the rise time is characterized. Does anyone have any experience servicing these units? The front end module is totally unserviceable, with its innards being made up of bare dies bonded out inside the unit. |

conducted EMI. Y class capacitors (hot or neutral to ground) have more stringient specifications and can be used in place of X (hot to neutral) class capacitors. Since a short or leakage between hot and ground could cause a hazardous condition for the user, Y class capacitors must fail open. X class capacitors just have to fail in a way that they do not burn and present a fire hazard. You can also use higher class safety capacitors like X2 and Y2 in place of X1 and Y1. X class capacitors are available in larger values because Y class capacitors between hot and ground have to be small enough to limit ground leakage current. This gets interesting if you have a bunch of instruments plugged into the same circuit; if their combined ground leakage currents through their Y class capacitors is high enough, it can trigger a ground fault interrupter.

interface signals. I think what is happening is that the vertical plug-in selection signal which is driven by the mainframe chop selection is getting into either the 7CT1N base drive current source or the emitter current amplifier. The vertical smearing is only visible at low base and emitter currents. When the 7CT1N is installed into a horizontal slot, operation is different and the chopping is done without signaling the plug-in. I ran some tests to confirm that the chop and alt signals are not even available to a vertical plug-in installed into a horizontal slot; only one trace is available when using a dual trace plug-in installed into a horizontal slot.

Quick and late (here) update: The TDS544A had been put aside a while, the TDS540 passed self tests but needed a recap for A11 and A12 boards, A10 had been taken care of by someone before things turned bad. Now I have a working scope to confront the failing TDS544A with. The test point TP1608 is at -6.72V, TP1658 at -6.74V in the working scope. Just for future reference.

Where the parts list says 250V, it should say 250VAC. These are safety capacitors which are intended for use across hot/neutral (class X), hot/ground (class Y), and neutral/ground (class Y). If they fail, they are suppose to do so in a safe way preventing hazardous conditions. 250VAC safety capacitors may have a 630VDC rating so the units you selected should work fine and in the past that is how they might be selected.
