DSP chip


44.1 kHz External DSP Clock




What is it?

DSP external clock allows to listen to samples of 44100 Hz, 22050 Hz or 11025 Hz frequency without additional slowdown on your Falcon030 caused by resampling to F030 native ones. You can also use these frequencies for your own sample creation. For example using WinRec or Zero-X.

What do you need?

You can make an external (connected to the DSP port) or internal (soldered directly to the motherboard) version.

  1. TTL oscillator (see below)
  2. 7805 (only for the external version)
  3. DSP connector CANNON 26 pin MALE (only the external version)
You need TTL output oscillator of 22.5792 MHz frequency. It is important to assure this frequency to be exactly of this value. We use EPSON programmable oscillators. They are cheap and work very well.

You can also build a 48 kHz version. In this case you have to use 24.576 MHz oscillator.

How is it connected?

External version is connected according to this scheme:

scheme of the external clock

Internal version contains only the oscillator. The pin 3 of it is connected to the DMA chip (U36) pin 56. The pin 4 is connected to +Ucc 5V and the pin 2 to the Ground.

How it works?

Just connect the clock into DSP port. Programs as AniPlayer, FalcAmp or MPEG-2 Audio can automatically detect this hardware. Some programs don't process any detection so you have to set the usage of the external clock on manually (e.g. Zero-X or ACE). Some programms (as V-Trax) needs FDI driver. In this case you must put the FDIINIT.PRG into your AUTO folder.
