Re: CGS07 Gate Sequencer pcb different from schematics ?

2005-03-18 by peng3002

There's two more differences between this pcb and schematic. I'm not
sure if the differences will matter, so I'll ask.
In the reset area of schematic shows: 15V to 110n cap, other side
of cap to 100K-gnd and the anode of diode. Cathode is connected to
junction of pin3 of opamp, 100k to ground and a 15K. The pcb has the
cathode connected to the other side of the 15K resistor (junction of
the 15K resistor and the 10n cap). PCB is connected before the 15K
resistor, the schematic is connected after the 15K.

The next difference has to do with the End Out section. Schematic
shows emitter through 1K resistor, then to the end out jack, and a
10K to ground. On the pcb the emitter connects to both the 1K and 10K.

Can you forsee any problems ? It looks pretty easy to mod the pcb
if necessary...I'd just rather do it before I get everything soldered
in.

Thanks,
P.v3
