Replacement for the PM9610 Prescaler for Philips PM6654 High precision Counter
SaabFAN:
I've found some time to work on this again.
The boards I have work pretty well with the workarounds I've detailed in the last post when I use pure sine wave generators.
The ADALM Pluto unfortunately is completely useless as a signal source as there's always some kind of modulation on the signal, so I have no means to test the device with sine waves in the frequency range 400 to 900 MHz until I have my Signal Generator working.
The latest Revision has only one RF Amplifier and I'm revising the Standby-Circuit in a way that the board doesn't need the negative supply anymore, so no more damaged OpAmps when I supply only the positive voltage during testing :)
The "B"-Signal and "TEST GO" disable / enable the Output of the Prescaler-Board.
"B" adds a Bias-Voltage to the detected RF-Voltage or subtracts it from the RF-Voltage - I'm not entirely sure anymore ;) In any case, it turns off the output of the Prescaler when the Prescaler is not needed (in the PM6654C this is the case when Channel C-Mode is not selected).
"TEST GO" on the other hand pulls the other input of the comparator in the standby-circuit to a value that ensures the Prescaler-Output to be on under all circumstances for testing purposes.
SaabFAN:
I just checked the Schematic of the PM6654C Mainboard again.
The B-Signal is left floating on that board, so it's not actually needed. It either is used when installed in a different instrument, or just there for testing purposes.
The TEST GO-Pin connects to the "DATA OPTIONS"-Connector "BU108" on Pin 24, but is not used by any Option that is listed in the Service Manual. So it was probably only there for testing during manufacturing.

Hi, nice project, I have a PM6652 that would need a prescaler. Are you still selling pcbs? Otherwise, would you share the fabrication files? Thanks
maximvs:
I also need a prescaler for my 6654c. Any way I can get the PCBs or the gerber files ?
Thanks you,
-George

Just wondering are there older versions pcb files available for download or someone have spare board for version with MC12095 prescaler?
