 I can now see that a conversion between the dip and PLCC would be do-able
 but as mentioned earlier nasty.


Don't they make socket converters? I would think that would be the easiest way 
to go assuming the pinouts would be correct.

 As the subject says, does anyone know what the battery part # is for the 
 Motorola Oncore M12+T ???
 
 My GPS module has the socket, just missing the battery.

yes normally plcc to dip but not the other way around. (cause who would
ever need that) That said the plcc and dip pin out is not a straight 1 for
1 and that makes things a bit messy. That would not stop me from doing it
though. That is making a frankenstein adapter.

Re: [time-nuts] STEL 1173 datasheet

2014-05-07 Thread Ed Palmer
I've been looking for some kind of converter but, so far, I've come up 
empty.  A converter to allow a PLCC44 to be used in place of a DIP is 
easy to find, but a converter to allow a DIP to be used in place of a 
PLCC44  is rare, at best.


It also occurred to me that signal fidelity (crosstalk, ringing, etc.) 
could be an issue in such a conversion.  The 4065C manual says that the 
synthesizer clock is 45 MHz and the output of the 1173 drives an 
AD9713BAP D/A converter to generate the 12.6 MHz sine wave.


Signal fidelity could also be an issue with an FPGA replacement for the 
1173.  The FPGA would be on a board that would have to be connected to 
the original location with a cable around 10 cm. in length.

Not cheap, but at least it's a start... They do appear to exist...

You can probably find the PLCC pin part and a DIP socket on like Mouser, 
Digikey, or Allied... Then just spend a little time
soldering wires to make an adapter... Or even order/make a custom prototype 
board from those sites that will do one-off's?

Wow at $155 or $125 + $65 for a stel replacement chip.
Like the concept they have of allowing you to rewire the pins and frankly
it would appear the $125 is a cleaner fit if it can be offset in the CS ref.
But hey its not my project so will watch from the side lines.

Re: [time-nuts] STEL 1173 datasheet

2014-05-07 Thread Ed Palmer
Now that looks promising!  The show-stopper problem with adapters like 
Jason found is size.  There's only about 20 mm between the circuit board 
and the top of the case.  I can imagine soldering this plug to a board 
that had either the DIP chip or a ribbon cable to connect it to an FPGA 
board.  I'd have to solder a socket onto the original board to use this, 
but that might be possible.  There's one surface-mount capacitor that's 
close enough to the 1173 that it could prevent the installation of a socket.


Thanks for the info, Bob!

It's starting to add up, isn't it?  The only reason I'm considering it 
is because I was able to confirm that the Cs tube is alive.  If I can 
get it working for a couple of hundred dollars and some time I think 
it's a worthwhile project and as Bert Kehren mentioned, I'm not the only 
one with a dead 1173 chip so others might benefit.

Bought an LPRS-01 on eBay too. Of course it only locked for a few

in the right direction - the VCXO was probably saturated. After some
inspection, I conluded there were no trimcap to set VCXO mid frequency.
But there is a trimpot associated to the 20 MHz crystal circuitry, just
in front of the 20 MHz Xtal (the bigger one of two attached to the
physics package).


Actually, this is the trimcap which sets the VCXO mid frequency.
Good that you found it and reported on it here.


The said trimpot was originally set to about 1 o'clock
and fixed by lacquer. Removing the lacquer and turning it CCW about
30-40 degrees gave good values reported back from the 'M' command _after
locking_:

8C 70 BF AB 80 80 AB DA

Now my LPRS works like a dream, thank you Magnus!


You're welcome!

Oh, welcome to the time-nuts! Maybe introduce yourself and tell us a 
little about your rig and what you are doing. :)


Back in the days, Ulf and I worked for the same company.

Re: [time-nuts] Battery Part # For Motorola M12+T ???

2014-05-07 Thread gonzo .
For interest, the prefix refers to the chemistry and the numbers describe the 
nominal dimensions in mm.
So:
ML = Manganese Lithium (rechargeable)  (3V)
MT = Manganese titanium lithium (rechargeable)  (1.5V)

and 621 = 6.8mm diam x 2.1mm thick.

This system is reasonably consistent for coin cells from all but US 
manufactures.
