==OEM No. 125B - CPU Control Board==

[[File:BIO-RAD_OEM_NO_125B_Top.jpg|thumb|right|300px|OEM No. 125B — top of board]]

The '''OEM No. 125B''' is the system CPU / control board — referenced in the [[#High-Level Block Diagram|block diagram]]. It runs the instrument firmware, drives the [[#OEM No. 126C|OEM No. 126C]] front-panel board (LCD, LED readouts, keypad) over J-2, and commands the [[#OEM No. 127 (A/B) — HV Controller Board|OEM No. 127]] HV controller over J-3 — sending the 12-bit DAC setpoint and reading back the voltage / current PWM telemetry and circuit-status lines. Run parameters are retained in battery-backed RAM. The board is built around the Motorola 6800-family set (MC6809 CPU, MC6821 PIA, dual MC6840 timers). Date codes place it at 1988; the EPROM is hand-labelled firmware "Xi 4.0".

===Reverse-Engineering Notes===

#The MC6809 + MC6821 + dual MC6840 set is a textbook Motorola control core. The two PTMs are well-suited to ''measuring'' the voltage-PWM and current-PWM the 127 board returns over J-3 (gate / capture), and to generating the volt-hour and timed-run intervals for the four operating modes.

#J-3 is wired pin-for-pin to the 127 board's J-16, so the 125B PIA directly drives that interface: HV-enable, DAC clock / data / strobe out; circuit open / shorted / unknown status in. The keypad scan / display strobes go to the front panel on J-2.

#The Signetics CK2605 FPGA (M7) handles glue logic — address decoding and control sequencing — alongside the discrete 74HC138 / HC00 / HC132 gates.

#The S-8054 voltage detector (M10) provides power-on reset and brown-out supervision, gating the CPU and protecting the battery-backed SRAM during power transitions.

#The ICL7660 makes a local −5 V rail for the analog / op-amp section rather than relying on the 127 board's ±15 V.

==~~OEM No. 127A — HV Controller Board~~==

===Items Still to Confirm===

~~This is~~ the ~~analog~~/~~digital control board that bridges~~ the front-panel microprocessor and the high-voltage power module. It accepts a digital setpoint from the μC, generates two PWM drive signals to control the HV switcher, and reports back the actual HV and HC values via a frequency-isolated telemetry path. It also handles fault detection and shutdown latching.

*Identify the J-4 / J-5 harnesses

*Dump the CK2605 (M7) configuration / determine its logic role

*Determine J2 pinout to front panel board

==OEM No. 127 (A/B) — HV Controller Board==

This is the analog/digital control board that bridges the front-panel microprocessor and the high-voltage power module. It accepts a digital setpoint from the μC, generates two PWM drive signals to control the HV switcher, and reports back the actual HV and HC values via a frequency-isolated telemetry path. It also handles fault detection and shutdown latching.<gallery mode="slideshow">

===J-12 Power-Input Topology===

[[File:BIO-RAD OEM NO 127B Conn J12.jpg|thumb|alt=|none]]

J-12 carries three transformer secondary windings plus a single ground-tie wire. The transformer itself has no center tap or earthed reference — the system ground is '''established on the board''' by bonding the negative DC output of one rectifier to the positive DC output of another, using the lone green wire. This stacks two of the rectified supplies end-to-end to produce the bipolar ±V<sub>unreg</sub> rails feeding the ±15 V analog regulators, while the third (blue) winding feeds an independent positive rail for the digital regulators.

Line 169:

Line 270:

*Keeping the digital +5 V / +12 V supply on its own winding (blue) isolates digital switching noise from the ±15 V analog rails, which carry the precision references for the AD7543 DAC and the AD654 V/F converters.

===J-16 Data, Status and Telemetry===

[[File:BIO-RAD OEM NO 127B Conn J16.jpg|none|thumb]]

J-16 carries four data lines to an on-board [https://wiki.recessim.com/w/images/f/fc/AD7543.PDF AD7543] Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) which selects the voltage generated by the power supply. 0 - 4095 is the valid range to set ~20V to 3000V in 0.7V increments. It also has PWM outputs for voltage and current to monitor actual values and three additional I/O lines to signal Circuit Open, Circuit Shorted and one Circuit Unknown, possibly to signal a ground fault condition per the user manual. This connector goes straight to optocouplers so the control side is isolated from the high voltage side.

+===Reverse-Engineering Notes===
+#The MC6809 + MC6821 + dual MC6840 set is a textbook Motorola control core. The two PTMs are well-suited to ''measuring'' the voltage-PWM and current-PWM the 127 board returns over J-3 (gate / capture), and to generating the volt-hour and timed-run intervals for the four operating modes.
+#J-3 is wired pin-for-pin to the 127 board's J-16, so the 125B PIA directly drives that interface: HV-enable, DAC clock / data / strobe out; circuit open / shorted / unknown status in. The keypad scan / display strobes go to the front panel on J-2.
+#The Signetics CK2605 FPGA (M7) handles glue logic — address decoding and control sequencing — alongside the discrete 74HC138 / HC00 / HC132 gates.
+#The S-8054 voltage detector (M10) provides power-on reset and brown-out supervision, gating the CPU and protecting the battery-backed SRAM during power transitions.
+#The ICL7660 makes a local −5 V rail for the analog / op-amp section rather than relying on the 127 board's ±15 V.
-==OEM No. 127A — HV Controller Board==
+===Items Still to Confirm===
-This is the analog/digital control board that bridges the front-panel microprocessor and the high-voltage power module. It accepts a digital setpoint from the μC, generates two PWM drive signals to control the HV switcher, and reports back the actual HV and HC values via a frequency-isolated telemetry path. It also handles fault detection and shutdown latching.

 ===J-12 Power-Input Topology===
+[[File:BIO-RAD OEM NO 127B Conn J12.jpg|thumb|alt=|none]]
 J-12 carries three transformer secondary windings plus a single ground-tie wire. The transformer itself has no center tap or earthed reference — the system ground is '''established on the board''' by bonding the negative DC output of one rectifier to the positive DC output of another, using the lone green wire. This stacks two of the rectified supplies end-to-end to produce the bipolar ±V<sub>unreg</sub> rails feeding the ±15 V analog regulators, while the third (blue) winding feeds an independent positive rail for the digital regulators.
@@ Line 169: / Line 270: @@
 *Keeping the digital +5 V / +12 V supply on its own winding (blue) isolates digital switching noise from the ±15 V analog rails, which carry the precision references for the AD7543 DAC and the AD654 V/F converters.
+===J-16 Data, Status and Telemetry===
+[[File:BIO-RAD OEM NO 127B Conn J16.jpg|none|thumb]]
+J-16 carries four data lines to an on-board [https://wiki.recessim.com/w/images/f/fc/AD7543.PDF AD7543] Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) which selects the voltage generated by the power supply. 0 - 4095 is the valid range to set ~20V to 3000V in 0.7V increments. It also has PWM outputs for voltage and current to monitor actual values and three additional I/O lines to signal Circuit Open, Circuit Shorted and one Circuit Unknown, possibly to signal a ground fault condition per the user manual. This connector goes straight to optocouplers so the control side is isolated from the high voltage side.
