Introduction
Internal Components
The heart of the Digital488/80A is a 6809 microprocessor [U1] supported by 8K bytes of firmware
EPROM [U2] and 32K bytes of battery-backed-up RAM [U3]. Interface to the IEEE 488 bus is
accomplished by a 9914 interface chip [U13]. A 65B22 [U14] generates real-time interrupts for the
firmware operating system and also drives the front panel LED indicators. The digital I/O ports are
controlled through 6821 interface chips [U7, U8, U9, U10, U11, U16]. High-voltage, high-current output
capability is provided on both channels if the HVCX1 option is used. Power is supplied by an on-board
transformer and full-wave rectifier. Regulation to the re5 volts is provided by an 78T05CT [U15].

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting
provides a troubleshooting reference for possible solutions to technical
problems. Before calling for technical assistance, refer to this chapter.
However, if problems in using the Digital488/80A still persist, you should contact the factory. Many
problems can be resolved by discussing the problems with the appropriate applications department. If the
problem cannot be solved by this method, you will be instructed as to the proper return procedure.
