Synth board modifications

1. FPGA_turn_on pull-down resistor of 10k placed close to gate of the MOSFET 2. OPA2353 power pins are to be interchanged in the schematic and artwork 3. 100k pull-ups to WA18, WA19 of SAM3816. 4. Remove 100k pull-up to WA16 5. Conn_brd data bus must be re-oriented for 1-1 IDE cable. The cable should have no twists 6. Move D6 (schottchy) to connector board to protect against reverse polarity entering the PHI 7. C87, C88, R67 concerning X1 must ground near X1 8. NOTE: Flash memory damaged during installation or poor soldering 9. System_MIDI out of PIC should be sent to MIDI out or out via USB. Note: SAM3816 only receives data to generate AUDIO 10. /PWDN move to SAM3816 pin 87; SDOUT0 move to SAM3816 pin 132. (as per 3816-EK demo board) 11. removal of unnecessary parts and supporting components (MAX3232, old power control circuitry) 12. AK4621 unused pins must be shorted together 2 to 3; 4 to 5. 13. Obtain shorter capacitors (electrolytic) 14. Power switch must have series resistance (5k) to prevent placing power supply across zener 15. Replace mono with stereo jack for the balanced signal to xlr jack 16. Mixing up of analog grounds on schematic of synth will introduce noise 17. Power supply bypassing capacitors must be located on top layer with all other components 18. Remove the internal speaker driver circuitry 19. Move the anti-pop circuitry to this board

Connector board 1. place schottchy diode and capacitor near power connector 2. re-orient USB pins. Move existing USBD_P to D- and USBD_N to D+ (verify with PCB) 3. remove P4 connector (unnecessary) 4. leave synth board comms signal connection. However adjust the signal names on synth to ensure a simple cable is used. 5. Move the anti-pop circuitry to the synth board 6. Special grounding a. USB ground should be separate. NOT connected to GND but to e.g. UGND b. Route analog output from headphone via its dedicated cables. No connection to ground on the connector board

Satellite 1. use 6-layer PCB (Kyle to set up) 2. investigate reduction of PCB to original size of the synth board 3. re-order signals to the headers to minimize crossings as first solution to the iteration: 1. minimize crossings on mainboard to connectors (7x2 headers) 2. re-arrange circuit clusters in the satellite to reduce crossings bypass capacitors must be placed on the same side and close to pins of IC

Mainboard 1. revisit bypassing capacitor location: place capacitors on component side and close to component 2. create footprint for header 7x2 female header (A32970-ND). All connectors from satellite are female 3. revisit all footprints: connectors; utilize smallest parts available. Preference to components already in stock 4. remove components and supporting parts MAX3232 and LEDs 5. revisit the PWM circuits a. ensure gate resistors b. output impedance 6. lock the locations of all connectors Note: new footprint for female headers 7. reorder signals to the headers to minimize crossings. Provide the corresponding signal locations for the satellite board 8. replace J17 (main power connector) with the header 7x2 male 9. remove connectors J11 and J16 (no need for MMC connections) 10. preset connector J12 should use the 6x2 right angle male connector 11. preset connector J12 should use the 6x2 right angle male connector 12. Remove J15 (sustain and damp) 13. Change to 7x2 header male J18 and J14

CODE: PIC 1. Code clean up a. Refer to http://www.panadigm.com/panadigmwiki/index.php?title=Curre nt_PSM-Mainboard_reset_protocol for the changes to the communication signals between Synth and main board. Use #define for pin names

b. Remove code relating to wireless MIDI and wireless configuration c. Archive project CODE: FPGA 1. remove the PHI_connect_i signal OR simply set the input to 0. The PHI will ONLY be used in wired configuration 2. rename synth-mainboard communication signals as per http://www.panadigm.com/panadigmwiki/index.php?title=Current_PSM -Mainboard_reset_protocol
