Chapter 2 CUP2 Printed Circuit Boards Function Overview The CUP2 contains four printed circuit boards (PCB); the Engine, the Interface, the Audio, and the ControlPanel. To greatly generalize: The Engine PCB contains everything concerning sample playback, audio effects, and the functions of the CUP2 operating system.
The following paragraphs give a brief summary of these major functions and associated functional blocks. Boot Sequence The CUP2 uses a modern tiered memory architecture and boots much like a desktop computer. The sequence is essentially: 1. The Interface PCB, which contains the power supply, produces a signal (PWRUPRST_L) that goes high when the main DC power (+5V) has been stable for approximately 0.5...
• Digital audio formatting circuits The instrument sound samples are stored in Sound ROM (page 4, zone 5D). The standard CUP2 has 64MB (only U13 installed) of Sound ROM. Other products using the same Engine PCB may have additional Sound ROM installed at U14.
The CPU has an integrated USB controller that can be either Master or a Slave but not at the same time. Switching circuits (page 4, zone B1) switch between the two functions. In the CUP2, the actual USB connector is on the Interface PCB and connects to the Engine PCB by two cables.
The following function summary descriptions reference the CUP2 Interface PCB, Rev C Ver 1, schematic circuit drawings (Chapter 7, pages 7-8 and 7-9). In the CUP2, the main CPU on the Engine PCB also performs scanning of the keyboard, LEDs, and controls. This is done through the ScanPort connector, a simple, Kurzweil standardized, CPU independent interface for scanning.
Printed Circuit Boards Interface PCB ScanPort interface to control panel buttons (page 1, zone C4) The buttons are in a 6 column 2 row interface. The columns are shared with the LEDS. The status of the rows is driven back to the ScanPort by buffer U4. A pressed button will send back a zero for its row position when its column select line is low.
ScanPort interface to Volume Control potentiometer (page 1, zone C3) Volume in the CUP2 is actually controlled by digital commands from the Engine PCB CPU to the synthesizer ASIC. The volume control potentiometer is interfaced to the CPU (along with the pedal signals) through the ScanPort as an analog signal.
Printed Circuit Boards Interface PCB ScanPort analog multiplexor (page 1, zone A3) There are eight different sources of analog voltage selected, one at a time, by U10; then passed to the balanced output amplier, U9, which then drives the selected source voltage to the ScanPort.
CUP2 to match the characteristics of its unique speaker system. Table 2-1 is a list of these components and their values for the CUP2 Rev C Audio PCB. Earlier units were manufactured with a Rev B Audio PCB. There are a few instances where the values differ between Rev B to Rev C.
The following function summary descriptions reference the generic Mark 5/10 Audio PCB, Rev D Ver 1, schematic circuit drawings (Chapter 7, pages 7-10 through 7-12). Note that a component value marking of "DNS" means the component is not present in the CUP2 assembly.
C73 and C74 can gently reduce the high frequency response; but they are not needed in the CUP2. The tweeter crossover (U8 and surrounding components) is a 3-pole high-pass lter that passes frequencies above about 3KHz to the tweeter power ampliers.
An integrated stereo power amplier (U2, zone 2) drives up to 20 watts to each tweeter from the tweeter crossover outputs. Low power woofer amplier U3 (zone 4) is not present in the CUP2. High power woofer amplier, U4, (zones 6 and 7) drives up to 50 watts to each woofer from the woofer crossover outputs.
Printed Circuit Boards Control Panel PCB General The Control Panel PCB connects to the Interface PCB via a single 26 wire at cable. This carries row and column signals to the switches and LEDs. It also carries the three volume control signals and headphone audio signals.
