Schematics and PCB lay-out of a simple HRPT henerator.

Updated 31-8-1999.
In the previous version IC9 was wrongly connected. If you have already made a old PCB, you can use it, but make sure that you insert IC9 in the correct way!

You can change it into a CHRPT generator by using a Xtal of 21.4 MHz instead of the SFE10.7.
Instead, you can use a LC filter (L instead of X1, 1 capacitor from one side of the L to ground, a trimmer from the other side to ground):

With the 2 coils you can easily switch between HRPT and CHRPT.

Best is to check the frequency by measuring on pin 7 of IC1; this should be 665.4 kHz for HRPT and 1330.8 kHz in case of CHRPT.
(You have to play a bit with C and/or L; parasitics have noticable influence. Normally, for CHRPT a L of 6 uH would be necessary, which means 2x 12uH in parallel, instead of 12uH // 4.7 uH!)
