horseboy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 http://www.onlinecomponents.com/buy/FAIRCHILD/FMS6410CS/?ref=fc For a stand by. Make sure pin 2 (the NC) is lifted. I don't know what will happen if thats connected to the +5V that is on that pin on the board. Looks like I need to change the design due to obsolete parts. The FMS6400 is the only obsolete part right? I have been able to find everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well back to my original question, do you have a stash of 6400s? I'd like to order a bunch of bare pcbs but only if you have 6400s to go with them, how many can you put aside for me?

I only have enough to fill my current orders. I only have 20 or so 2600 and 25 or so 7800 PCBs. So a redesign using a different chip is completely doable. And yes horseboy the FMS6400 is the only one that is obsolete completely now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNC pins are usually used for chip testing so connecting it could yield strange results. I would imagine that breaking the pin off would also be just fine.

Longhorn Engineer Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ok after talking with Fairchild who are the manufacturers of the FMS6400 the replacement is the FMS6406 which is currently still in full production. Current boards can work with it as long as pin 2 is lifted/broken off from the chip. I am redesigning the 2600 and 7800 mod schematics and PCBs to reflect the changes. One change is I am moving the layout around a bit to make them easy to put together and the 7800 mod will get a larger package chip for the chroma switch.

So, when you send my replacement board, will it be a different design? Will I need to do anything different to my 7800 besides what I've already done? Thanks for the info.

No it will install exactly the same as the old 7800 and 2600 mods. Only difference will that the 7800 will be slightly easier to build.

Game-Tech.US Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Now if we can just talk Mouser into stocking it... Digikey has 449 in stock, but $3 a pop! Anyway, i'm emailing in an order for bare boards, redesigned or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longhorn Engineer Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Little update. I just got finished with my exams. Filling orders again. I got some FMS6410's. I have enough to cover all orders I have but to make sure I don't run out I set the paypal cart to "sold out" on my website. When I figure out how to get around the FMS6400 issue I will open it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
