Folks:

I'm posting this here because we seem to have more than out share of very 
knowledgeable readers, one of whom might be able to help with this problem.

I'm attempting to assist a friend get his Fluke 8000A DMM back up 'n running.

Here's what he wrote to me:

  Hi Tom, I am trying to repair a Fluke 8000 meter. I found the
  chip that is bad but cannot find any reference on web for it. 

  I 
thought you might be able to put it out on one of your
  reflectors and see if anyone has had any luck on finding the
  part.

  On the chip it says SC522 it is U3 on the schmatic. Here
  is the write-up of the chip.

    The Analog IC is an LSI device which contains a two-input
    multplexer, an amplifier, and a voltage controlled oscillator
    (VCO).

    The Part number from Fluke which contains multiple other parts
    is 345496, but it normally comes as part of the following parts
    'set':

      C14, C16, C R20, R56, R57, R58, AND U3 ARE A MATCHED SET.

      REPLACEMENT: ORDER "ANALOG RESISTOR SET", P/N 345496

    Even Fluke's website does not list the part. And subsequent
    telephone conversations with Fluke indicate that they no longer
    have ANY relevant documentation on, or parts for, this meter.

    What I really need is the SC522 (Fluke nomenclature).

If anyone(!) has anything which might help, please reply directly to:
