From: a...@p850ug1.demon.co.uk Was the failed IC marked '723' or some house number? -tony Hi Tony As I recall, it was marked LAS723-2.5Luckily, before I simply replaced it, I checked the feedbackresistor values. They didn't make sense for 7V.My guess is that it made using the 723 for

Well, I had to look it up. The LAS723 comes with a 2.5V reference and not a 7V. Dwight

I've never found a 723 datasheet that gives a different values for either reference. Nor have I The one I had to replace on my Nicolet oscilloscope was made by Lambda. I don't recall the reference voltage but I did have to change the feedback resistors to get it to work. I seem to

There we two different reference voltages on 723s. I don't recall which was which but one had to change the feedback resistors if you used the wrong one. If seems there is only one ref voltage available today. I think Jameco carries them. What package do you need. They cam in cans and dips.

The root cause of the failure appears to be that the internal voltage reference of the uA723, which is specified as 7.15V ±0.35V, is now 9.4V. The uA723 needs to be replaced. The uA723 is still readily That's an unsual failure. I've had 723s go internally short-circuit and then the output

A few weeks ago, while I was testing a spare IPB-80 CPU card in an Intel Series II MDS, the monitor stopped working, with the raster collapsing to a very bright dot in the center of the screen. I hit the power switch and pulled the line plug immediately, but the dot persisted for several minutes,
