Driver Encoder/Temp Sense Board (A19)
S.1
General Description
The Driver Encoder/Temp Sense Board is located in the Driver
Control Compartment and provides the following functions:
a. Provides “turn-on” control signals to the 15 RF amplifiers
used in the Driver stage. “Turn-on” control signals are fed
to the driver amplifiers when a transmitter TURN ON
REQUEST signal is generated by depressing one of the
transmitter LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH buttons. The “Turn-
on” control signals are removed when the “OFF” push-but-
ton is depressed.
b. Provides a status output signal to the Modulation Encoder
cable interlock circuitry. If an RF amplifier module is
removed from the Driver Combiner Motherboard or if a
cable between this board and the Driver Combiner Moth-
erboard is not connected, DRIVER CABLE INTERLOCK
LED DS8 will illuminate. This will generate a “CABLE
INTERLOCK” fault to the LED Board and the transmitter
will turn OFF.
c. Monitors the temperature of RF amplifier modules RF33
and RF34. A voltage proportional to the temperature is
provided to the External Interface for remote monitoring.
If the module temperature rises above a preset reference
level, the transmitter power output will automatically re-
duce (foldback) in a three-step sequence:
1. If the temperature approaches the foldback set point TEM-
PERATURE CAUTION LED DS3 will illuminate.
2. If temperature further increases, power output will
gradually reduce until a safe operating point is reached.
The OVER TEMP LED DS2 will flash, indicating
foldback is in process.
3. If temperature continues to increase during the gradual
foldback sequence, power will rapidly reduce and the
OVER TEMP LED DS2 will latch ON.
d. Monitors air flow for normal, reduced and fault conditions.
1. If the air flow is reduced because of restricted filters or
failure of one of the four cooling fans, the AIR FLOW
REDUCED LED DS7 will illuminate. The AIR LED
on the ColorStat™ panel will change from GREEN to
AMBER.
2. If the air flow is further reduced because of restricted
filters or the failure of two of the four cooling fans, the
AIR LED on the ColorStat™ panel will change from
AMBER to RED and the transmitter will shut OFF.

Theory Of Operation
Refer to the Driver Encoder/Temp Sense schematic, 839-7855-
175, in the Drawing Package.
The Driver Encoder/Temp Sense Board can be divided into five
basic circuits:
•
Driver Turn-On Control
•
Temperature Sensor/Power Foldback
•
Air Flow Detection
•
Cable Interlock Monitor
•
Power Supplies
S.2.1
Driver Turn-On Control
When the LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH button is pressed, a
“TURN-ON REQUEST” active LOW signal is received from the
LED Board. This signal is applied to the input of inverter U8.
The output of U8-11 provides a logic HIGH to the inputs of line
drivers U1 and U2 and provides the pull-up voltage for compa-
rator U3-14. The outputs of U1 and U2 drive transistor pairs
Q1-Q7, Q2-Q8, Q3-Q9, Q4-Q10, Q5-Q11, and Q6-Q12.
When the input to the line drivers is HIGH, the outputs are LOW.
This will turn on the PNP transistors in the Driver Turn-On
Control circuit and provide -5 VDC to the control transistors on
the Driver Amplifier modules. This will turn the modules ON.
When the inputs to the line drivers are LOW, the outputs are
HIGH. This will turn on the NPN transistors in the Driver
Turn-On Control circuit and p5 VDC to the control
transistors on the Driver Amplifier modules. This will turn the
modules OFF.
Line drivers U1-3, U1-6, U1-8, and U2-3 control 13 of the 15
Driver Amplifiers.
