| Wanted: Hi Res pictures of the Discrete SSM2044 |
|
|
Hello gents,
Working on a reverse engineering project and was wondering of one of you guys with a last run Sp-1200 could help me out with it till I source one myself. I'm looking for pictures, High resolutions of the PCB bottom, PCB Top, and components and there numbers/colors so I can reverse the SSM2044 circuit in the last run.
Without seeing a PCB shot I'm thinking it's going to be a cluster of oP amps, diodes, resistors and caps near the outputs on Channel #1 and 2, the filtered channels. It would distinguish itself from a single SSM2044 on some of the other pictures floating around here.
Thanks,
Kaz |

email the fellow over at www.emulatorarchive.com he would be the most likely person to help you i think _________________ E-mu Emulator Sampler Series Forum

How can you revrse engineer these chips without looking "into" one with an x-ray? _________________ [no sig for now] |

1. Original grey edition

3. The second re-issue without the famous SSM2044 filters but with OP-AMPS which emulate these

i have 1 question:
why there are two ssm2044 chips? _________________ http://writers-connection.noblogs.org/ |

| dang - I was hoping this was something else! |

I was hoping this was a project to x-ray the IC to look at the actual internal 2044 layout! The 2044 is different that all other filter IC chips that I've seen, because it connects the capacitors _between_ IC pins, not to ground.
Connecting them this way suggests that the filter topology is more like the Moog filter than the typical OTA filter. Been a lot of discussion about that on the SynthDIY and AnalogHeaven lists, but I haven't seen anybody dive down into the actual chip to verify that the topology IS Moog-like.
I think what you want is the circuit layout around the chip? You can look at the datasheet for the 2044:
http://www.synthtech.com/cem/ssm2044.pdf
or email these guys:
http://www.electricdruid.net/index.php?page=info.ssm2044
http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-15933.html&highlight=
or look at the sp1200 service manual to figure out what they did (sorry I don't have that link).
Good luck! |

QUESTION?
my sp1200 has these ssm2044 chip's:
ssm2044
8547
&
ssm2044
8336
one of each
unlike the ssm chip's pictured above in THX's post (two of the same with 9145)
*do these numbers mean much??
any idea's
thanks in advance _________________ www.myspace.com/fyc

I would imagine that's the production batch number.
