  • Page 21: Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

    Power-On Self Tests (POST) Upon normal power up, the MPX 200 will perform a series of diagnostic tests. For a description of these tests, refer to Table 2.1. These diagnostic tests have been designed to take less than 10 seconds. The diagnostic test sequence is displayed on the front panel LEDs prior to the execution of the test wherever possible for troubleshooting purposes (provided the LEDs are functioning properly).

  • Page 22: Diagnostic Failures

    If the Bypass button is pressed after a failure has occurred, the MPX 200 will attempt to continue on with the next test of the POST sequence. The MPX 200 will attempt to do this every time the Bypass button is pressed.

When the test is executed, the leftmost 7-segment display will display an “r” to indicate the test is running. The pass/fail status of the test is displayed on the 7-segment displays and front panel LEVEL LEDs.
  • Page 31 Lexicon Encoder Test (9) During the Encoder test, the Z80 microprocessor reads the value of the encoder, and then expects the next value read from the encoder (when the encoder position is moved) will be at a predetermined incremental value. Therefore, during the test the encoder must be rotated in a clockwise direction as it’s being tested, or the test will fail.

    Always use caution when testing the unit with the Main PCB removed from the chassis, be sure to place a heatsink (HEATSINK,TO220,.75X.5X.5"H, Lexicon P/N 704-14132 or equivalent) onto the voltage regulator at U25 to dissipate excess heat, and protect it from reaching thermal shutdown.

  • Page 37: Chapter 6 Theory Of Operation

    Lexicon Chapter 6 Theo r y of Operation Main Board Schematic Walkthrough Sheet 1 This sheet shows the analog input circuitry (U1-U2), the analog output (U6), and the output mute circuitry (U7). Input Stage Separate unbalanced ¼” phone jacks (J1-J2) provide input for the left and right signals. A single input source will be routed to both left and right input stages if the right channel (J1) is the only one used.
  • Page 38 MPX 200 Service Manual Output Stage and Muting The output of the CODEC circuitry re-enters this page as signals OUT_LEFT and OUT_RIGHT. Provisions are made for an additional low pass filter of these signals by installing capacitors in locations R45 and R33; additionally, the CODEC signal may be attenuated or “padded” by installing resistors in these locations, but these have not been implemented in the design.
  • Page 39 Lexicon AK4528 CODEC The AKM CODEC AK4528 is a high performance 24-bit A/D-D/A device which performs anti-alias filtering, analog to digital conversion, digital to analog conversion, and digital 15/50uS de-emphasis. Although it supports sampling rates up to 96kHz, the MPX200 only supports 44.1kHz sampling.
  • Page 40 MPX 200 Service Manual S/PDIF Input The S/PDIF input is brought in via one half of J5. The signal is terminated into 75Ω by R129, AC coupled by C103, and amplified by U18 (74HCU04). Current limiting resistor R127 and clamping diode D6 provide input protection.

Resistors R158 through R161 provide pull-ups for signals ENC_3:0, ensuring that a switch open condition is properly read back as a logic ‘1’.
  • Page 43 Lexicon and the AK4112A. R64 is a provision for bypassing the U14 circuitry, but it is not implemented in this design. Front Panel Connector The front panel connector is not precisely a connector. Rather, it is a 16 x 1 row of solder pads that accept a semi-rigid flat cable that solders directly to the Main PCB and the Front Panel PCB.
  • Page 44 MPX 200 Service Manual Chip Select Buffers U22 currently is the only chip select buffer used on the MPX200. Provision has been made to add a second one (U21) in order to separate out read from write chip selects, but this has not been implemented. Resistor R154 guarantees that chip select signal REG_SEL/ is held in an inactive state during power up.
  • Page 45 Lexicon enables must be pulled high and the Z80 must be fed clocks to allow the resistors to work as designed. Proper initialization of the system is dependent on the static state of the data bus on power up. The PLL TEST Pins are diode clamped by D4 to RESET/.

Whenever a button is pressed, a software scan of the SWITCH_ROW[1:0]/ bits at address 0x4C00 determines which button was pressed. The Column signals used by the LEDs are used here as well.
