| Series defect on agilent 167xx boards? |
| << < (24/50) > >> |

Awesome sleuthing! I can confirm it's 1GHz. And you found a signal that does NOT appear on the bottom. So now I have to say "almost all signals appear on the bottom". I can understand why they didn't want any extra vias on that pair! |

Success! While I probably have other things I should be doing tonight, I don't have anything I'd rather be doing. ;) I swapped the SY89421V from my 16716A, booted it up, and it passes all self-tests, and the Timing Zoom signals show up correctly with the regular waveform. :) As expected, it looks like the SY89421V is way obsolete. Any chance you have a "parts" board you'd be willing to sell one off of? Or, know where I could find one? Digikey/Mouser don't have them anymore, and I didn't see any for sale on ebay or aliexpress. I could probably hack together a replacement, but probably not worth the cost/effort of building a small carrier to do that. Thanks for digging into those clock signals on the Zoom chips... I guess luckily for me I didn't need to trace them, but hopefully it'll help someone in the future. And overall, thanks for sticking with me while I worked my way through these boards! I'm really excited to start getting to use the machine. Though I'm also excited to mess around with the pattern generator a bit, as well as writing some code for the TDK. Thanks, DogP |

Excellent! It was fun following along and it gave me an excuse to do more tracing and post it. Thanks for sharing the details of what you were doing. I took a quick look, and from I can tell they used the SY89421VZC on all the zoom-capable 167xx boards, including the higher end 16753A/54A/55A/56A. I have a bunch of dead boards and I can send you a PLL, no problem. Send me a PM and we can work out the details. Maybe you can email me a pre-paid USPS label and I can drop the chip (properly protected) in a flat rate envelope, or something like that. |

But it's my limit. I've resorted to the spectrum analyzer approach a few times too. It makes a nice tunable voltmeter. |
