Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
Unless it's an expensive IC, troubleshooting a circuit like that is difficult since it is only read once while the SA is booting up. That's why most people would just change a gumdrop IC to attempt

To be fair, some of the members are just getting into electronics. I've been at it for over 50 years. At one point I spent eight hours a day testing new circuit boards and repairing the bad ones. My

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Hi Vincent, this is funny, after my previous post I went looking for a Faster, Lower On-resistance, Higher Voltage FET, and found this one: IPA60R280E6 , so this is in the same area as the one you

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
Well ¡, I don't yet know that it needs to be replaced. The buffer IC may not be the problem and I don't want to begin changing parts until I have a more conclusive idea as to which part to change.

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Hi Leo, I fixed a couple of 22XX SMSP. The one in my 2232 last summer, and the other day the one in my 2215. The regulator is not too fussy as to what FET model you use to replace the old one.... AS

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
The switches are enabled to the data bus via tri-state buffer and an enable signal that occurs just once during boot up. Challenging to trouble shoot with my limited test equipment. And, if the buffer

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
I only have the user manual for that model, but the SA has to read the switches, usually through a latch that is polled at startup. That is where I would start troubleshooting. Michael A. Terrell

FWIW non-linear optical methods are used to compress the length of laser light pulses. Somewhat analogous to NLTL's, but at 10^14Hz. https://www.rp-photonics.com/pulse_compression.html Craig

Re: Homemade tunnel diodes
Jose said: "Not many people seem to have made DIY NLTL, let alone samplers based on it." This is probably true, because NLTLs usually have lots of stages, so can get very big and complicated before

Re: Tektronix DM5010 NiCa 2.4V battery replacement
You can, within limits. The 488 bus is a difficulty, and may be more happily replaced with a chip or an FPGA, your choice, although there are 488 simulators. The front panel had a separate chip that
