I started this project about 4-5 months ago.... The reasons for adding SCH Option are as strange as the trip I took getting it to work... I am a retired TV Maintenance Engineer... (ABC). Also a Video

Re: Ramtron chip in place of Dallas
Hi Jan, That is truly strange. Are the later models 176xSC still under Tek support? And I suppose it is possible that there was some customer proprietary information in that setup program that may

Re: Ramtron chip in place of Dallas
When I found the SCH option board from a 1750 scope, I contacted Tek to see if it was a 'drop in' replacement. They said 'Yes'.. Really it's "NO" I was then given some software (DOS) that would

Re: Ramtron chip in place of Dallas
One of my customer's 2465B's was really a 2445B, ala the ebay guy's handiwork. It was an early model that had the CMOS RAM and a battery. The handyman removed the CMOS RAM, left the battery and all of

Re: Ramtron chip in place of Dallas
Tektronix was always good about sharing parts and ideas among their product line. Looks to me like it could share a lot in common with the 2465 family. Not bandwidth, so much, but certainly CRT drive

-CS does more than latch the address. Like DRAM, FRAM uses sense amplifiers which must be precharged before each read operation. When -CS is high, the sense amplifiers are precharged in preparation

Re: Ramtron chip in place of Dallas
Obviously. I was simply expanding on what you stated to include the early 2465B and 2465A. I can't say that I have ever run into the 1700 series.. Isn't it a vector scope, or something like that?

Re: Ramtron chip in place of Dallas
You got lucky, as the 1225 chip behaves exactly like the CMOS RAM chip that it contains... a 6116 type.. Your EPROM programmer happened to do it accidentally right. It wasn't on purpose as the FRAM
