CHAPTER FIVE
5.3.3 EXACTIME INTERNAL CONFIGURATION
The ExacTime unit is comprised of several sub-assemblies, power supplies, main clock assembly,
GPS receiver, front panel LCD display, front panel keypad, optional rubidium oscillator, option
motherboard, plug-in option assemblies. For the purpose of this discussion a configuration including
a rubidium oscillator, 1MHz and 5MHz sine wave output options will be used in the understanding
of the ExacTime’s operation (please see Figure 5-1).
A
POWER SUPPLY (P/N 8010-LPT4-2)
The basic power supply in this configuration is 8010-LPT4-2. This supply is used to power
the ExacTime and all of the electronic assemblies (i.e. main assembly, front panel
assemblies, GPS receiver, and option motherboard). It provides the system with a regulated
+5 volts, +12 Volts and -12 Volts. All of the electronics use these voltages to operate within
the ExacTime.. Without some or all of the voltages the unit will not operate correctly.
When checking for any problem within the ExacTime it would be good to verify all of the
power supply voltages to be assured they are correct. This can be done at the connector
located at the supply or at the end of the power cable.
B.
GPS MAIN BOARD (P/N 100015)
This main assembly is the center of the unit. It includes a microcomputer, memory, I/O
interface, buffers, and all of the additional circuits to support the ExacTime’s functions. The
computer provides information to the front panel LCD for display of information to the
operators as to the status, error, and many other operational information and selections. It
interfaces to the front panel keypad and scans for operator key depressions and displays the
selected information. All inputs and outputs at the rear panel with the exceptions of the ones
provided by the option motherboard come from the main assembly. All outputs are buffered
so as to prevent any damage to the unit should any output be shorted for any reason. Located
on the main assembly is the Oncore Receiver Module as a plug-in assembly. It is held in
place by four small screws and connects via an OSX connector and a multi-pin DIP
connector. We will discuss the operation of the Main Assembly later in this section in more
detail.
C.
FRONT PANEL KEYPAD & LCD ASSEMBLY (P/N 55158)
The front panel keypad is a board that has small buttons and rubber fingers that go through
the front panel to provide the operator with a colored push button and tactile feedback of a
button push. The push buttons are scanned by the main assembly computer for operator
entry of information or commands. This board provides the mounting for the LCD display
as well. The LCD provides all of the operator information, menu selections, and operator
feedback of entries. The interface is through two multi-pin ribbon cables to the Main
Assembly.
