Hi!Guys,
I am trying to repair some Digital Servos and have run into a problem.After a great deal of research I have found all the Data Sheets for the The active components and reverse Engineered the circuit so I have a schematic.
The plug from receiver to servo is a 3 pin type that can be put in both ways. The V+ is the center pin at 7.4v to 8.4v DC and the outer pins are V- and Signal.
The Signal is an AC 3v to 5v 50Hz square wave with the positive part of the pulse Min. .9ms to Max. 2.1ms.
I don't know what the Max. current is but there is a 1k resistor on input to the signal circuit and the max amperage to the ATMEG Microcontroller is 40Ma.
The problem:
There is a Diode in parallel reverse bias at the input of the voltage regulating circuit from what I can understand it is to protect the circuit from the V+ half of the AC Signal and this Diode I don't seem to be able to find. I have found D size case types but I need a 0603 case size. Can anyone help me please?
THANK YOU
