c. In this example input RI1 should be combined with input RI2 and routed to output RO2. In addition to that, input RI3
should be routed separately to output RO5. The Control-Input signals have to be set as follows:
- the first selection signal group (!RSEL_1x = 1101) sets input RI1 to Output RO2
- the second selection signal group (!RSEL_2x = 1101) sets input RI2 to output RO2
- the third selection signal group (!RSEL_3x = 1010) sets input RI3 to output RO5
- the blanking signal group (BLNK_TRx = 10110) enables output RO2 and RO5
As an other example all inputs RI1-RI3 should be combined and routed to output RO3. In this case the Control-Input
signals are: !RSEL_1x = 1100, !RSEL_2x = 1100, !RSEL_3x =1100 and BLNK_TRX = 11011.

Table 1.2. Signals on the High Density Connector J3

Figure 1.3. 3-Channel Router/Combiner: 28pin SCSI Connector

All inputs are driven from the TCU. The TCU-outputs are TTL-levels. They are in a
high impedance state after power-on and pulled up by a resistor of 1kohm. The
activated drivers are able to drive 32mA in „HIGH“ and 64mA at „LOW“.

Configurations with one or more Routers 1.7
0
In this section, different possibilities to connect one or more routers to a spectrom-
eter are described, according to the logic signal descriptions.

Configuration with one Router 1.7.1

A spectrometer with one router may be configured as follows:

Figure 1.4. Configuration with one router

RSEL1 RSEL2 RSEL3

1 X
MF1

MF2 2
Router 3 H/F
MF3
4

5 Y

The router receives its signals from the TCU. The 50-pin SCSI connector of the
TCU is connected to the router by a special 50 to 28 pin adaptor cable. The router
is driven by the RSEL1x...3x and BLNK1...5 signals of the TCU.

Configuration with two Routers 1.7.2

Basically, nearly any configuration with two routers is possible. As with the single
router configuration, the routers receive their signals from the TCU T2 50 pin
SCSI connector. But now they are connected to it by a special Y adapter cable as
described below. Each router receives its full set of digital signals, and all blanking
signal for the routers are also available for the poweramps which will receive the
router output signals. This means full flexibility in wiring FCUs and PAs to the rout-
ers. Each router has the same PLD, so if RSEL5 is set to 3, BLNKTR8 must be
negated to route.
A typical configuration with two routers would look as follows:

In this configuration, Router 1 is chained to Router 2, so all frequencies are avail-

able on Router 1. The PA blanking signal 6 remains unused and should be con-
stantly deactivated (set to 0). Caution has to be taken when two routers are
chained because the frequency characteristics of both routers are multiplied.

The Y Cable for a two router configuration

As mentioned above, there exists an Y cable (Cat_Nm Z002814) that links the
TCU to two routers. The wiring list is included here for reference.

Configuration with three Routers 1.7.3

Configurations with three routers are not yet supported but planned to be possi-
ble. A configuration with three routers will be essentially the same as with two
routers, i.e. all capabilities of the router will be available. There will be fifteen
blanking pulses for the routers as well as for the power amplifiers, so each router
output may be used to be chained to another router or as an output to an amplifi-
er. Up to eight FCUs will be supported.

Introduction
In this chapter the circuitry of the three channel router shall be described in a top-
down approach.
The circuit consists of an input section with three similar divisions which is con-
nected by switches to the output section consisting of five similar divisions. The
switching is controlled by the control section.
The following table describes the logical structure of the routing and combining:

The Input Section 2.2

0
The input section consists of three divisions numbered from one to three that were
formerly named X, H and Y. The X section connects to three, the H section to four
and the Y section to five different outputs. In its structure the X section is the sim-
plest one. It shall therefore be described first.

The signal enters the input section through an SMA connector and passes an at-
tenuator before it is amplified by an MSA with approx. 10.5dB gain. After a further
attenuator it reaches a HF knot, where it is split and directed to three switch sec-
tions X_XY1, X_HXY1 and X_HXY2.

Each of these sections consists of three switches in a row. The first two are placed
near the input section, the third near the output section. The separation is done to
improve the crosstalk and isolation characteristics. The input section switches are
connected to the output section switch by semiflexible coaxial cables or PCB-
wires.

The Y section is similar to the X section. The only difference is that it contains an
additional switch that selects one of two HF knots. One is leading to two, the other
one to three output sections. Thus, all five outputs can be accessed by the Y sec-
tion.

The H section is best described as an X section expanded by an additional

H=>HXY0 routing path. ECL00 prints have this path built as an option on a ‘piggy

back’ board, whereas ECL01 prints have it integrated onto the main board as a
normal routing path.
The option consists of two switches and their corresponding networks.

The Output Section 2.3

0
The output section consists of five divisions, each corresponding to an output as
shown in the block diagram. Each part contains a combiner for the incoming rout-
ing signals (except the Y (RO5) section), an attenuator, an MSA amplifier and a
blanking switch.
The HXY1 (RO2) and HXY2 (RO3) sections have three inputs and combine their
signals with a four-way power splitter/combiner (the fourth input of the power com-
biner is terminated).
The HY1 (RO4) section has two outputs and therefore combines the incoming sig-
nals with a two-way power combiner.
The HXY0 (RO1, former XY1) section formerly had only two inputs (as the HY1
section) and therefore contains a 2-way power combiner. The third input (coming
from the H_HXY0 option) is combined resistively with the output of the power
combiner. Because of different frequency characteristics of the option, the
H_HXY0 signal passes an extra attenuator before being combined to the other
signals.

The Control Section 2.4

0
The control section accommodates logic to control the router switching as well as
a power supply diagnostic feature (PS_Control, sheet 22 of the schematics) ac-
cessible by the I2C bus that is wired to the backplane.
Router Switching Control
Router switching is controlled by the control signals as described in the function
description chapter. Additionally, the whole switching may be disabled by using
the spectrometer enable (INSPENAB~) signal. The decoding is done on an
EP910 PLD. The logic is fully combinatorial; no clock is needed.
The decoding is done in such a manner that only simultaneous switching may oc-
cur, i.e. the switches of a routing path are either all open or all closed. This means
that full isolation may be obtained by simply negating the blanking signal of the
corresponding output. Thus, fast on/off toggling without the risk of glitches or haz-
ards may be obtained by applying statically the router select (RSEL) signals and
toggling the corresponding blanking signal.

Features accessible by the I2C Bus 2.4.1

The I2C bus permits access to a simple power diagnostic feature as well as to an
EEPROM that is intended to contain service information (BBIS).

20 (35) BRUKER Service Manual Index 004

 The Control Section

Goto
The I2C bus lines are wired to the backplane. Their names are SDA (serial data)
and SCL (serial clock). The direction line SDIR is not required because optocou-
plers are not used on this board.
The I2C base addresses are 0x40 for the IO chip and 0xE0 for the EEPROM. To
access the chips, twice the device address must be added to the base address.
The remaining LSB indicates read/write.
The power diagnostic feature consists of an I2C IO chip and some analog circuits
to detect power fail. The four power supplies are tested and wired as follows:

The SCSI 50pol. Avance Testadapter (Cat.Nm. Z002816) can be used to check
the input control signals coming from the FCU.
To get an easy access to all signals, just plug this adapter between the FCU and
the connecting cable to the 3-Channel Router/Combiner.
For the adapters test pin assignment please refer to the schematics or (in case of
the Router Y-Cable) to the wiring list as shown on the table "Wiring of a configu-
ration with two Routers" on page 14.
