Circuit Description

ICs 1, 2, and 3 are connected to the computer address lines Al to A15. This means that all addresses up to 65534 may be presented, so a decoder is required to examine all lines, but only to respond to a

AA 1N4148 AS 1c1 A4 All 8 A10 5

Figure 1: Circuit diagram

Particular address. The address code used here is 16370, which lies between the 16360 and 16380 used in our I/O port project. A@ is not used, so a further address of 16371 exists.

A negative going address decode pulse appears at the output of IC2, and is used to latch data into IC4 and enable IC6. To avoid corruption of data into IC6 the output of IC4 must be latched to the data code before IC6 is enabled. ;

just enough to allow IC4 to latch before enabling IC6. IC6 pin 4 READY line controls the duration of the WRITE ENABLE (pin 5) and CHIP ENABLE pulse for correct circuit operation, via IC5c. R1 and C1 smoothe the +5V supply, to keep noise spikes down toa minimum, and audio output is taken from IC6 pin 7, via low pass filter R3 and C2, to the output pins 1 and 2. IC5d buffers the 3.22MHz clock, and prevents lengthy track runs from crashing the 2X81.

Most important is D1. You may be aware that because of incomplete address de- coding, the 2X81 ROM is repeated between address 8193 and 16383, which is an unused area between ROM and system variables. These addresses can be POKEd providing that the ROM is deselected at that time, and D1 conducts when A13 is high, freeing this area for use.

Assembly and Construction

Insert all track pins and both vero pins. Fit all six DIL sockets, R1, 2, and 3 and C2. Fit disc ceramics C3 to C7 and C1 and C8 noting the polarity markings. Insert all ICs the cor- rect way found, then clean the PCB and make the final inspection for short circuits and dry joints.

Testing and Use

If you do not possess a mother board you will require a 2 x 23 way socket to solder onto the PCB edge connector, otherwise pluginto your motherboard. The signal is insufficient to drive a loudspeaker direct, as it is only 300mvV in amplitude, so you will need an external amplifier and speaker connected to pins 1 (signal) and 2 (screen). Switch on the 2X81 and a cacophony of noise should be heard. Run the following test program:—

should be heard. Any number between 1 and 64 may now be entered and the appropriate tone should be audible. Refer to the following listing for access codes and settings.

To input data into tone generator 1 only, first enter the required volume level from the attenuation codes. The first code given is maximum volume, e.g. Tone generator 1 = 144 and attenuation levels are in 15 x 2dB steps down to 159, which is fully off. Next enter the tone generator access code, which in this example is 128, followed by the required frequency. The frequency: range covers 98Hz (G2) up to 6.3kHz (G8) in 64 steps, code 1 being the highest frequency and code 64 being the lowest, so enter 64. The entered codes are now 144, 128, 64, which is tone generator 1 producing an

As a Tone Generator access code was entered after the attenuator, the frequency can be changed as desired, but if an attenuator code is now entered, 144 to 159 in this example, the frequency can only be altered by entering the access code, 128, again, and then a frequency code.

Keep in mind that when a register is accessed it will remain ‘on line’ awaiting further update input codes. Access to Tone Generators 2 and 3 is in the same manner, except that the codes are differcnt. !f you enter 144, 128; and 64 to set up‘a tone in Generator 1, then enter 176, 160 and 32.

Tone Generator 3 can be used to control either noise or pulse registers and code 231 followed by 192 allows control of white noise pitch by entering 1 to 64. Similarly, code 227 followed by 192 allows control of a 480Hz pulse tone byentering 1 to 64, and the lowest frequency possible is 6Hz.

Obviously, the best way to understand the system is to use it, therefore a few simple programs are given for assistance, shown at the end of this article. When writing music programs remember that G2 to G8 spans 73 notes and control only covers 64 notes, therefore higher frequency notes tend to become sharper in relation to the. lower octaves. E

Prompted by the many requests received from our customers for a series of interfaces allowing add-on expansion to the Spectrum computer, the VO Controller module is offered to achieve this. Although not a programmable parallel/serial device in itself, the VO Controller will decode 8 independant select control lines with data bus access via a bi-directional buffer. Buffered read and write lines are also available, thus establishing CPU protocol during VO time.

It is intended that the controller be used with latch modules, serial interfaces and speect/sound generators which will be available from Maplin, designed as an expandable system to extend the Spectrum's capabilities. Of course, many other commercial add-on’s could be controlled by this module, especially in the field of Robotics.

Circuit Description

The Z80 CPU IN/OUT accumulator instruction determines the state of the lower (A0 - AT) address bus. This effectively allows 256 input/output ports for use either from the keyboard or with machine code. Spectrum firmware _ uses AO to A4 for printer, key scanning, Cassette and sound functions leaving A5 to A7 free for use with suitably decoded

address lines. IC] determines when firmware is active and prevents the address decoder IC2 from being accessed. Assuming that a valid I/O Port address is presented, say 31, then the enable input of IC2 (pin 5) is taken low when A0 to A4 is logic high.

AS, 6 and 7 will be logic low, whereupon IC2 IORQ pin 4 is enabled and the decoded output appears on pin 15. There are eight select outputs (CS) from IC2, but only one may be accessed at any time. Address lines AS to A7 determine which one of these CS outputs are active and Table 1 shows each I/O address associated with their respective control lines.

Table 1 5

FH

wet Ae pee 95° 2

IC3 buffers the eight CS lines and produces an active low output. Alter- natively, these outputs could all be made active logic high by fitting an inverting 74LS240 in place of IC3. A bi-directional data buffer, IC5, connects the Spectrum data bus to the port outputs for reading (PRD) and writing (PWR) operations. The PRD control line will not be active (logic 0) during the PWR sequence. Therefore, the data bus state always appears on the outputs of IC5 irrespective of correct port addresses being available or not! To read information in from. the port, both IORQ and one of the eight CS lines must be active. IC4a OR’s both of the enable signals producing a logic 0 to send to IC4b. When a logic 0 read signal is presented, IC5 switches the port data bus through to the Spectrum bus. This arrangement ensures isolation between the CPU and the outside world. The regulator, REG], supplies the +5V for powering port electronics and is tapped into the Spectrum 9V PSU. Although a +5V regulated output has been brought out to the expansion connector, the current available is small. Additional loading of the internal regulator will increase heatsink temperature — and May cause overheating problems - especially on 48K machines with Inter- face 1 attached.

faciuuves ior connecung an external PSU have been added which connect to the IDC outlet for powering modules connected to the port. R9, D1 can be used as a power orvoff sensing device and control to these devices — more on this later. Finally, the system RESET line is extended through so that the Spectrum can be externally reset, and/or periphals reset during power up. The reset line is active low, and reset occurs after a low to high transition has been initiated.

e

Construction

Begin construction by first fitting the 2 x 28 way Edge Connector into the PCB, (Figure 5). Insert the terminal pins from the track side, and not the legended component side. You will see a blank locating peg fitted in position 5 of the connector; line it up with the PCB so that it sits directly behind but on the opposite side to the bar on the legend. Do not cut off any of the connector pins as they are used for mounting an expansion PCB, as we shall see shortly. Carefully push every terminal pin through the PCB leaving a 4mm gap between the rear of the connector and the PCB. This allows for clearance when fitting the module into a box, otherwise not enough of the socket protrudes for insertion into the Spectrum. Make sure that both the PCB and the socket are at right angles to one another with an even 4mm gap along the back and solder all terminal pins to the PCB, on the component side! Each drilled hole has plated through connections joining the tracks on both sides of the board so it is only necessary to solder one side. Ensure the connector does not move whilst doing this as it can be quite difficult to straighten out afterwards.

Expansion PCB

The smaller expansion PCB can be fitted at this stage although it is not part of the port section. All address, data, control and supply lines found on the Spectrum connector are extended out with this board. Note that no buffering or port outputs are available from here, just direct connections. Figure 5 shows all relevant details. In position 5 on both

edges of this PCB, there are slots cut for:

alignment purposes. Insert the PCB between both rows of connector pins “standing out from the main PCB with the slot against the legend bar. Gently bend all 54 terminal pins towards the expansion PCB until it is self supporting at right angles to the main PCB and solder each pin to the relevant track. Clean off surplus flux with brush and thinners and inspect every solder joint made so far. There must not be any short circuits between tracks or terminals; otherwise damage may occur to the Spectrum when running the port! As an extra precaution, use an ohmeter or multimeter set to measure resistance and test for shorts between adjacent tracks across and between both sides of the expansion PCB. A little time spent - carefully checking at this stage is likely to prevent major headaches later on.

With reference to the Parts List and Figure 2, insert all five IC holders, noting that those for IC's 1 and 4 are 16 pin types, IC's 3 and 5 are 20 pin and IC2 is a 14 pin type. Push them down onto the PCB, then carefully solder each terminal in place. Mount C5, 6 and 7, which are circular disc capacitors, ensuring clear- ance between leads and nearby tracks. Next insert resistors R1 to R9. They are all of the same value and colour coded: Yellow, Violet, Red (‘normal’ code), or Yellow, Violet, Black, Brown (5 band code). Fit diode D1 which must be the Correct way around with the Cathode (K) or ringed end pointing to the outside edge of the PCB. Align the band with the legend. Now insert capacitors Ci, 2, 3 and 4. These electrolytic type capacitors are polarised and must only be fitted one way around. The case or negative end is designated with a -V sign on the package, or by the shortest of two leads. Unmarked or longest leads are then +V; insert according to the legend. Finally, the 3-pin regulator REG] can be fitted with the flat side containing the heatsink bracket laying over a section of track on the PCB. Bend all 3 terminals downward, approximately 6mm away from the plastic body and locate each one through its mounting hole. This square of copper track beneath the regulator helps to dissipate heat radiated from the heatsink, although it is fairly insignificant. Solder remaining components in place, remove excess leads, wires etc, and clean track face with brush and thinners. Because plated through holes have been incorp- orated, it is possible for solder to run down to the component side of the PCB. Therefore, closely inspect both sides of the board, looking for short circuits and probable errors.

IDC Header

Every connection to and from the port is made via a 26-way IDC header plug. To fit this plug, slot the terminal pins over the PCB solder pads situated along the top edge, according to the diagrams of Figures 3 and 4. Arrange all terminals centrally to each pad and push the plastic body down onto the board edge. One side of the plug has a locating slot cut down it — arrange this facing outwards — which is situated on the track side of the PCB (same side as the 28-way socket!). Solder in place. It does not matter which side the slot faces, but Figure 4 notation is arranged for this particular configuration, so best stay with this standard.

Final Assembly

Insert IC's into their sockets. Look- ing from the front of an IC with the D’ slot facing left, pin 1 will be the first pin beneath the slot. Be careful to observe this! Fit the 5 Vero pins by inserting them from the track side and gently push their heads down onto the track pad before soldering in position. Again, re-check all work done and when satisfied that all is well, proceed with testing the module.

Testing the Module

Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 8 for testing. You will again need the services of a good multimeter, a length of hook-up wire and a diode, which should be left over after construction.

Solder two short lengths of wire to each end of the diode as in figure 8 and strip, then tin the opposite ends.

With PSU disconnected, plug the VO controller module into the Spectrum expansion port. Turn on the power and check the- usual start-up routine and cursor appears. Now try all keyboard operations and make sure they function normally; if not, switch off immediately and remove the module. In this case, take out all IC’s and re-insert the module — repeat the same check as before. The most common cause of problems is usually due to incorrect assembly and soldering, so if the Spectrum functions O.K. with the IC's out, then one or more of them may be suspect.

Set the multimeter to read 8V DC and connect with the negative lead attached to the heatsink of REG] (OV) and positive lead to REG] output pin, marked with an arrow. Expect a reading of +49 to +8.1V on the supply rail Remove the meter.

Type in PROGRAM 1 and RUN it.

Each 1 of 8 ports will be addressed and the DATA bus read. The left hand column lists each port and the right hand shows the data read which, for this test, should be &H FF (255) for every port address.

PROGRAM 2.

RUN this program, input address 223 and data received will be displayed as zero, in the right hand column opposite. Take the test diode and connect the cathode (K) to CS7 — port address 223 — and the anode (A) to PDO. Figure 3 details the appropriate IDC terminals. A new data reading of 1 should be displayed, due to the CS7 select line going low and pulling data line PDO low with it. In fact, the data is inverted and is really 284 as

power source connections can be brought into the VO PCB and hence to the IDC plug. Note that these supplies do not drive the module at all. +12V, —12V, +5V and OV inputs are available which can be extended to peripheral devices along the IDC cable and connector. Also Figure 10 shows a simple application for disabling or enabling these power rail connections when turning the Spectrum off or on — this being useful for preventing false triggering or even damage from occurring.

Final Hints

Control lines CS] — 8, PRD and PWR are all active low (0V). Use CS to select. the peripheral device and PRD/PWR to enable Tri-state buffers on the data bus. Remember to connect the common OV line as well! Only the addresses in TABLE 1 are decoded so if . you are using several different modules as well as this module, check what codes can be used without clashing with any others.
