Hardware structure 

 

The hardware structure differs in the rack and the keyboard version. Common for both 
products are one power supply unit, one main board and one panel board.  
The keyboard version has one type of LCD board 

(69072)

 with the pitch stick and 

modulation wheel, while the rack version has another type of LCD board 

(69076)

 with no 

pitch stick or modulation wheel. They also differ in size. 
 

Power supply 

The Nord Lead 3 is supplied with several different voltages from the power board.  
These are +3.3V, ±5V and ±12V. For more information on where to measure these 
voltages see the appropriate schematic. The Power supply is connected to the  
main board with a 10 pole connector 

P2 

(22480). 

 
Main Board 

The main board is equipped with six DSP´s 

U24, U27-U31 

(21360)

,

 which is controlled by 

a host processor 

U26

 

(213200)

 

with two SRAM circuits 

U33

 and 

U34

 

(21410)

 (128k*8 bits). 

Boot code for the host processor and test program is stored in the BootPROM  

U36 

(23690)

. OS, user patches and performances are stored in a Flash memory 

U32 

(21290)

 

(8M*8 bits).  

Audio D/A conversion is performed by 

U39

 and 

U42

 

(21600)

.  

A/D conversion of the control pedal takes place on the LCD board 

U8 

(21580)

.

 

All input and output jacks are filtered from radio signals with an EMI-filter 

(23110)

 

(component designator prefix F). External connectors are a 26 pole connector for the 
LCD board 

P3 

(22520)

,

 a 20 pole connector for the panel board 

P4 

(22500)

,

 a 10 pole 

connector for the power supply unit 

P5 

(22480)

,

 two keyboard connectors 

P1 

and

 P2 

(22670)

,

 

one four pole connector for the after touch strip 

P6 

(22550).

 

 

 

LCD Board  

Main functions on the LCD board are the Lcd (

20810),

 main encoder 

(22890), 

pitch stick 

(10190)

 and connector for the modulation wheel 

P3

 

(22710).

 The LCD board is connected 

to the main board with a 26pole connector

 P1

 

(22520)

 

 

Panel Board 

On the panel board you will find 26 encoders 

(24010)

 and a number of status LEDs.  

The panel board is connected to the main board with a 20 pole connector 

P1

 

(22500).
