I have fried my FY6800 waveform generator
« on: November 28, 2024, 10:55:01 pm »
So, I was testing some 250 voltage capacitors and I manage to forget to discharge one of them and connected it to my FY6800 with voltage on it. I dont know how much voltage but obviously enough. Well, I killed something because now my signals are very tiny and ugly looking. Both channels seems to be affected but only channel A got blasted. Is this worth trying to repair? What is the first thing that got hit? The amps under the heatsink? What to check first?

Yes, that's worth a try, I think.

Are you aware of the docs of the FY6600 collected here: https://github.com/DerKammi/FY6600-15-30-50-60M ? The FY6600 and FY6800 are quite similar, so the schematics (https://github.com/DerKammi/FY6600-15-30-50-60M/blob/master/Hardware/FY6600_Main_A0.pdf) may give you a clue where to look else for possible damage.

Don't be too upset. For example, every LCR Bridge is sooner or later killed by an undischarged capacitor.
Post your results and we will help you.

A Schematic, great thanks! I see now why I get 5 volt offset and 12 volt offset on the output. Seems like the amps is letting the full rail voltage right through. When I adjust the amplitude above 5 volts it clicks the relay and I get full 12 volt on the output. Well I try to change the THS3002I amp and see if that is enough.

Update: So I got some chips from China and started to replace them. First the THS3002i with same result. Then I used a thermal camera and found a blazing hot 7905 voltage reg next to a AD8009 opamp. I ordered 5 of these opamps too so replaced that one and that fixed the problem!  :-+ Does not seem to be way out of calibration either so I will not bother with that and might mess something up. I'm happy to have a working signal generator again!
