info about CGS51 and 55 please

2004-05-23 by Fernando

Wow! The new boards looks great. Thanks Ken!

I'd like to know more about their functionality if you have a minute (or anyone that can
help)

CGS55 Analog Switch Matrix:
I see you switch signals to individual outs or a common out. And there is also a common
input, so it's a very versatile switcher. A very nice non-sequential approach. Super!
So, the control inputs, need a logic high or low? High being 15V? And the non buffered
control inputs after each diode, what are intended for?
Or, does the control inputs have a comparator so one can feed a variying analog signal as
a fluctuating control signal?
And, it is intended to work with CGS51? (the 4 gate outs to CGS55 control ins?)

CGS51 Weighted Random Switch :
Totally lost here. Some parts seem a random gate generator but there's lots more...

The other new PCBs are great too (CGS54 and 56). Thanks Ken!

Via the standard control inputs (0-3) they require a logic high, which is
any voltage over about 2V as per all of my gate detectors.

>And the non buffered control inputs after each diode, what are intended for?

Specifically for direct connection to the CGS51.

>And, it is intended to work with CGS51? (the 4 gate outs to CGS55 control ins?)

Yes. The connections can be external if you want to keep the modules
separate, however I feel the integral switch of the CGS51 is ... well...
laughable... The CGS55 is really part of the CGS51 design. In such a casem
the CGS51 switcher is built in a different manner, so it directly drives its
companion CGS55. Details will come. I didn't intend to release these pages
yet as they are not finished, but with the loss of the cgs web site, it was
easier just to upload my local copy as it was - even half finished.

A router that randomly directs an input to one of four outputs, though the
likelyhood of one output being selected over the others can be voltage
controlled. This was a special request design from a year or so back (Hi
Jeff - I haven't forgotten!).

I see. Thank you very much.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
