Re: TDS754D psu. Totally stumpped.
On a tangent, I’ve been reading through the datasheet of the PFC IC. It’s a
pretty interesting device. As it’s a critical current conduction mode
controller, the switching frequency is variable

Re: tunnel diode orientation in Type 284
Oh man, I think I have a big red pot on the front right of the inside face where
the revised Fig. 6-25 shows R133, but had no idea what it was for. Thanks for
pointing this out!

Re: tunnel diode orientation in Type 284
Thanks Albert. Looks like Tek replaced 30k external pot with a 30k internal (R133) + 3k external (R132) pot. TD current would change over a wider range from part to part but once the unit is

Re: tunnel diode orientation in Type 284
Yes, I am looking at 070-0754-00, pulse generator (schematic sheet 2). But it must be a later version. It is available on the BAMA site. There is a relevant modification as well (apologies for the

Re: tunnel diode orientation in Type 284
The change from R133 to R132+R133 occurred at B04000.

Re: tunnel diode orientation in Type 284
Well, that's a great question. I've seen reference to "coarse bias"
but assumed they meant R123, bias balance. My 284 seems to
match 070-0754-00 schematics (i.e., there is no R133). The

There is no R133 in 070-0754-00. Is there a revised schematic?

Re: TDS520 in Brittany: FAIL++Acquisition FAIL++ Attn/Acq interface
I repaired a TDS520 with exactly same error screen after repairing a (literally) burned power supply. In my case leaking electrolytic caps damaged a trace to U900 on acquisition board.

Re: tunnel diode orientation in Type 284
Adam,
For your reference, I checked the voltages at J135/J145 in a working 284:
Measured +- 11.8v (working with pulse output)
Low limit: +-9.9v
High limit +- 14.9v
So the adjustment range using

Re: tunnel diode orientation in Type 284
With TD BIAS at mid point and assuming a linear pot, swing at Q120/125 should be about 20V*(11.1k // 30k)/(2.2k+11.2k//30k)=15.7V single ended but your scope shot shows ~ 13V. Low point is ~ 0V so the

Re: TDS754D psu. Totally stumpped.
The problem is entirely consistent with a bad snubber network, or else a
leaky CR4 like someone else mentioned.
IRFP450 is only specified for 500V(DS), so boosting to 400V is already
operating pretty

Sorry - Just noticed your price target in a later post. The Aim-TTi MX models are going to be quite a bit more than $100-$150.

Hi Adam
My 284 isn't cooperative today, refused to produce an output pulse. Two days ago I think it started (after heating up somewhat with a f?hn) but then the scope broke down. (Extreme bright
