MegaSquirt II Power Supply & CPU Clock Schematic with Voltage Test Readings
Megasquirt power-supply schematic annotated with measured voltages across the voltage regulator, supply rails and CPU clock crystal.
This document is a schematic of the power supply and CPU clock sections of a MegaSquirt-II (MSII) engine management controller board, annotated by hand in red with measured voltage readings, apparently for troubleshooting. The power supply section shows a 12V RAW input protected by MOV1 (ERZ-V20D220), diodes D10/D11 (1N4001), zener diodes D12 (22V 1W) and D13 (12V 1W), feeding a 5-volt regulator U5 (LM2937ET-5.0) with filter capacitors C16/C17 (33) and C18 (0.1). Output VCC passes through polyfuse F1 (RXE050) to 'Sanctioned 5V' jumpers (S5). Inductors L1 and L2 (1uH) with capacitors C19, C22 (4.7) and C23 (0.1) filter the Vsyn/VDDSYN and Vref/Analog rails. D19 is a 5.6V 1W zener. The CPU clock section includes crystal Y1 (32.768 KHz), R22 (100K), R23 (10M), C24 (50pf), C25 (20pf), plus R21 (10K), C20 (.033) and C21 (.01) on CGMXFC-1. Handwritten measurements include 10.97v at 12 RAW, 14.73v and 4.97v around the regulator, 4.96v on the 5V rail, .75v across D13, and near-zero readings at oscillator pins, with a 'stimulator' supplying 10.99v. Useful for diagnosing MSII power/clock faults.
