RE: Ti-58c: Strange behavior
Here's a good thread about the TI58c.
Section 2.4.1 in the first post of this thread says that when the calculator is turned off the static RAM chip is powered by a 470uF electrolytic capacitor, and that this capacitor is kept charged via a germanium diode connected to the battery. Looking at the chip specs online gives a typical standby current of 0.2 uA. Without the diode to keep it charged, this current would drain the capacitor in a couple of hours, which is roughly what you are observing. I suggest that the electrolytic capacitor in your calculator is probably fine, but that the germanium diode keeping it charged might need replacement. Nigel (UK) |
