[time-nuts] STEL 1175 vice 1173

2014-05-14 Thread cdelect
Hi, I found two PLCC STEL 1175 in a rack mounted synthesizer I have. I'd be willing to sell the chips. Would they work? Cheers, Corby ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

Hello, I think that not as a direct replacement of the 1173. The 1175 has 32-bit phase increment resolution and 10-bit DAC output. The 1173 has 48/12 bit. Regards, Javier On 14/05/2014 17:13, cdel...@juno.com wrote: Hi, I found two PLCC STEL 1175 in a rack mounted synthesizer I have.

Hi Corby, Thanks very much for the offer, but it looks like it would still be a big project to use an '1175 to replace an '1173. I think I'll have to pass. The package difference (PLCC68 vs. PLCC44) would still require a daughterboard of some sort. I've learned a little over the past week

Hi Ed, You could probably use a 32 bit DDS, but there will be a whole bunch of little trimmings you would have to do in the CPU code which would require quite a bit of (interesting) work. I would say it would be beyond the scope of most folks. Cheers, Magnus On 05/14/2014 06:53 PM, Ed

Hi Magnus, Yeah, I like a challenge, but let's keep things reasonable! :) The package conversion is easy to accomplish, the FPGA would be a real stretch for me, but reverse engineering the system code is more than I want to tackle - although I have thought about it! Ed On 5/14/2014 11:17

Hi Ed, Reverse-engineering it would be fun. It's not that much code. Anyone got a EPROM dump lying around? :) But regardless, just doing reverse engineering is not enough, one needs to adjust frequency programming and possibly adjust some other parameters. Reverse-engineering as such would
