The PB-503A Circuit Design Trainer is a versatile, time-saving tool for circuit designers,       

engineering technicians, students, and hobbyists. A large breadboard area and a wide choice 

of built-in circuit accessories allow rapid and accurate construction of virtually any type of 

analog or digital circuit.

Circuit power is provided by three power supplies, two variable and one fixed. The circuit 

breadboard area includes over 2500 contact points. A multiple-waveform digital function 

generator supplies sine, triangle, and square wave output for analog circuits. A built-in speaker 

may be used for analog output.

Outputs also include a TTL-level square wave generator, two debounced pushbutton switches, 

and a bank of eight logic switches. Eight logic indicators may be used to display high and low 

logic levels. Two built-in potentiometers and two SPDT switches are provided for circuit control 

and adjustment. Connections to external test equipment or signal sources may be made using 

the two BNC connectors on the front panel.
