4024 fried?

4024 fried?

2005-11-25 by Mike Marsh

Hi All -

Building the ASR, I put the 4024 binary counter in backwards and
powered up. Nothing to speak of out of the outs, at least nothing
that changed with the clock, just some very high freq stuff.

So I put the 4024 back in properly oriented, and got the same result.
I'm thinking I fried it - waht say you all? I've ordered another in
any case...

More than likely fried, yes.

Nothing else would be affected though.

I was lucky msyelf - I reversed a 723 myself a couple of days ago. It's one
of those odd chips that will survive such a reversal!

Thank, Ken. I should have the spare by tomorrow or latest Monday.
I've mounted it in a 1U Blacet format Frac panel, with a simple Wave
Folder on the same panel. I think it will work nicely!

It happens. This is why I order extra spare chips, especially the
digital ones, and use IC sockets.

Good advice on both counts. What happened was that I soldered the
SOCKET in backwards then put the chip in the right way into the socket
which of course was BACKWARDS so the chip was backwards and I fried
it. Crap. Sigh. Crikey, what a dumb-ass...

Re: 4024 fried?

Rplaced the counter and voila! Arabesque! Fueled by the Quantized OUT
of a Blacet Improbability Drive, it's very nice indeed. Now I have to
replace the 100nF caps with the 47nF caps...

Re: 4024 fried?

What's wrong with the 100nF for Cx? I used Wima mixed film caps for
those, Mouser 505-MKP20.1/250/5. Works fine for me.

I used those exact caps, and they seemed a little droopy. THe 47
actually seem a little sharper, but I didn't scope it before I took
the 100's off. Maybe I'm just being superstitious... :)
