The UTsource ADG361 chips arrived today. I think they are ok.
I carefully soldered two in the TDS3032b that had this noise issue. Soldered by hand, just to make sure I would not overheat these delicate ic's. Carefully double checked that there were really no solder shorts between each of their 100 pins.
Some success, but not yet 100%.
The TDS3032b now boots up fine. Initially it shows the noise again below 400 us/div. And it has no calibration and huge offset errors. But now, if I do SPC, that noise disappears. And the offsets nearly all disappear. But SPC does still fail. At the end. Much further in the process as what I had before. If I look ate the system diagnostic port (serial out at 38400,n,8,1 on the 100 pin connector pin ...) then it says:
Class 3 Level 3 InterpolatingSearch: Ch1 found invalid value.
16:12:55 08/29/2023 (thread: rtl)
Class 3 Level 3 findZeroData: couldn't find plusFineVal. - channels (bitOr'd) 0x1.
The issue now is that CH1 has still an offset of about .5 div. CH2 much better.
Other than that the scope seems fully functional, all the way up to 1 ns/div as it's a TDS3052b now. But since the SPC didn't make it to the finish line, the calibration results are not stored in the scope flash it seems. So after a reboot, it is ugly again, unless I run SPC first.
I can trim the CHA offset away if I go into Utility->Devel->Subsystem DAC Ctrl->CH1 and then adjust Coarse or Fine Offset. But that correction isn't persistent. And diappears already (resets to 0) as soon as I change scale or coupling mode or position...
I swapped the CH1 opamp and CMOS switch. No luck.
So I'm now at the point of either swapping ceramic input module, or swapping again the ADG361...
No datasheet obtainable for these ADG361's, but I think I found the pedigree for its family. TI website, ADC07d1520, ADC08B3000 and the likes. Interleaving to double the sample rates. So two ADC inside each, both with differential analog inputs. Probably a circular memory or so inside that gets read out at a much lower rate after the acquisition is frozen. The differential inputs have are low ohmic internal termination resistors it seems. Those appeared gone in my old/bad ADG361 chips...
To be continued...
