Controller Shown below is the custom ATV receiver controller board. Embedded Controller Microchip PIC18F252 flash memory based processor running at 3.6864MHz. Control LCD Brightness Conventional potentiometer used to set the 2 x 20 contrast ratio. RS-232 Driver TTL to RS-232 interface driver. Allows the embedded controller to connect to external RS-232 devices. Reverse Polarity Diode 3 amp Schottky rectifier diode. The Schottky diode features low drop out voltage (around 0.3 volts) even at higher current levels. 4-Channel DAC Used to set analog voltage for control of the video LCD brightness, contrast, chroma level (color), and phase (tint). PIC I/O Extender Microchip MCP23016 Provides an additional 16-bit of discrete I/O used to control the LCD hardware and S-band receiver. The PIC 18F252 didn't have enough I/O to drive the 2 x 20 LCD display as well as the other on board devices. Receiver Controller Board. Schematic / PCB Layout For best quality, print the schematic on a single 8½ x 11" sheet of paper in landscape mode using your favorite graphics application.
