    The Interrupt Timer test will verify that the interrupt (INT/) is working and occurring at the proper intervals. The Lexichip3 will provide the MPX 110 with the interrupt (INT/) to the Z80's maskable interrupt line. The interrupt test will be run for a period of time that allows 20 interrupts to occur. A count of the interrupts is kept and compared for overshoot and undershoot.

    Lexicon SRAM TEST (2) The SRAM Test performed during the Extended Diagnostics is a non-destructive test. The non-destructive test will test one memory location at a time, saving the contents from the location being tested into a register, and then restoring the value when it's done. The entire contents of the SRAM is tested by writing 00 hex (00000000 binary), and verified by reading the same value back from each memory location.

    DC blocking is incorporated by capacitors (C80 and C84) in line with the signal path. The input impedance of the MPX 110 is set by R86 and R99, 1M Ohm per channel and 500K Ohm when sum-to-mono by plugging in the Right I/P only. This allows the MPX 110 to be used with a wide variety of input sources including electric guitars.

Sheet 3 Lexichip-3B (U11) is a Lexicon proprietary audio DSP (digital signal processor) ASIC (application specific IC). The L3 has multiple functions: I/O processing, clock generation, sample management (DSP). L3 INITIALIZATION Configuration pull ups and pull downs, RP2, RP9 (10K resistor networks) set the operating mode of the Lexichip3 via the data bus ZD[7:0] when the RESET/ is released.

    (11.2896MHz). Pins 74 and 75 on the Lexichip3 are essentially the output and input of a CMOS buffer, respectively. The L3 is used in many Lexicon products and provides most of the I/O needed by embedded systems like the MPX-110. Looking over the L3 you will find pins designated “PIOA” and “PIOB”. These are programmable pins for I/O.

    Lexicon EEPROM_DATA is pulled high through RP10, this signal must remain in a high logic state, this is so the EEPROM SDA signal can pull this signal to a low logic level to generate an acknowledge pulse after the reception of each byte.

The oscillator's output is selected as the ZCLK, and ZRST is held low by U6. When the RESET/ signal goes high, the feedback oscillator is disabled as U7 pin 1 is brought low, the ZCLK_LEXI3 clock (from the Lexichip 3) signal is selected as the ZCLK, and ZRST is controlled by ZRST_LEXI3 signal (from the Lexichip 3).
