Hi,

Probably Elio will jump in and tell us more on this, but I must advice that the unit where he did his forensic examination was a FE-5680A of the 10 MHz fixed frequency output variety (not accounting for the small adjustment margin)and also has a fixed 1 PPS. This unit doesn't have the two blue buttons and is essentially different from the "programmable" units. Its DDS is used in a very different way and the PIC program should be totally different.

Regards,
Ignacio, EB4APL

Thanks for the assembly listing. Someone else on  time-nuts had done quite
the job of reverse engineering the schematics and  other information. Seems
like the two of you could collaborate. Sorry do  not recall the name.
Welcome to  time-nuts.

Was just thinking the same thing so checked through my archives.


That was Elio, _eliocor@gmail.com_ (mailto:elio...@gmail.com) ,  messages
posted here about a year ago.


The messages will be in the list archives anyway but below is the text of
two messages I saved.

Subj:  [time-nuts] FE-5680A Schematics (v0.1)


at the following  address:
<
http://www.rhodiatoce.com/pics/time-nuts/FE-5680A/FE-5680A_schematics_v0.1.p
df

you  will find the 0.1 release of the FE-5680A schematics.

New additions:
-  pinout of the unpopulated (24 pin) connector (J9) behind the DB9
-  connections between CPU/MAX3232 and the *TWO* serial ports!!!
- component  values of the 10MHz filter + option on PCB to output a square
10MHz wave on  DB9
- connections between CPU and MAX1246 (A/D converter)
- connections  between XC9572 and MAX392 (quad analog switch)
- unknown pins marked as  '?'

As you can see, it seems FE-5680A fully supports 2 serial  ports:
one on DB9 and the other one on the unpopulated connector (J9) behind  DB9.

Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

.       ciao
_        Elio.

Subj:  [time-nuts] FE-5680A Schematics and scans


Thanks to Ignacio (EB4APL) and the generosity of Mike  Harrison, today I
received a PCB of a disassembled FE5680A.
I provided to  make some scans of the board at 2400DPI resolution: the
picture size is about  7700x11500 pixel (9MB)

Top face (with and without  ICs):

Being  able to remove the ICs, I was able to correct some flaws in the
previous  schematics:

During  the next week I will continue to write down the logical part of the
circuit  and I hope will be able to dump the 8032 firmware
