Figure 1 Controller Board/Vocoder Board Interconnection
The SLIC acts as an extension of the microcontrol unit by providing
logic functions such as lower address latch, reset, memory address
decoding, and additional control lines for the radio. The microcontrol
unit controls the crystal-pull circuit to adjust the crystal oscillator’s
frequency on the microcontrol unit, so that the E-clock’ s harmonics
do not cause interference with the radio’s receive channel.
Switched +5V is used for all circuits on the vocoder and controller
boards, except the audio PA, which is sourced from 7.5V. The regulator
automatically provides 5V when the radio is turned on. The regulator’s
power-down mode is controlled by the microcontrol unit, which
senses the position of the on/off/volume control knob.
