Model  8340A  - Service 

When  the  trigger  pulse  (TYOKP,  Trigger  YO  Kick  Pulse)  is  received 

from  the  processor,  U9  is  reset  and  Ql  is  turned  on  through  U7B. 

When  U9  is  reset,  pin  8  goes  HIGH  turning  Q4  off  through  U7D.  The 

constant  current  of  64  microamps  into  the  integrator  now  gives 
rise  to  a  negative  going  ramp  at  the  output  of  Ul4B  with  a 
constant  slope  of  about  -291  volts/second.  When  this  ramp  reaches 
a  value  equal  in  magnitude,  but  opposite  in  polarity,  to  the 
voltage  at  the  output  of  the  DAC  (Ul5),  then  comparator 

ua 

fires 

and  clocks  U9.  This  effectively  sets  U9,  turning  off  the  kick 

pulse  and  zeroing  the  integrator. 

The  only  adjustment  in  this  circuit  is  R36,  that  varies  the 
current  to  the  integrator  to  take  out  tolerances  in  the 
integrating  capacitor,  C29,  and  current  setting  resistor,  R37. 

The  number  written  to  the  pulse  width  DAC  address  is  related  to 
the  desired  pulse  width  by  the  formula: 

Pulse  width  (msec) 

= 

[(Number  )  /  512] 

* 

34  msec 

Since  the  DAC  input  itself  is  bits  1-8  rather  than  0-7,  the 

number  that  appears  at  the  input  of  Ul5  is  the  number  calculated 
above,  divided  by  two. 

Power  Supplies 

H 

Ll-L5  and  Cl-CS  form  standard  low-pass  power  supply  filters.  The 

inductor  type  was  chosen  to  have  a  relatively  high  series 
resistance,  while  the  capacitor  was  chosen  to  have  a  low  series 
resistance.  This  results  in  a  Q  of  about  2  for  the  filter  formed 
by  the  LC  circuit. 

Ul  and  U3  are  3-terminal  5  volt  and  15  volt  regulators.  CRl  and 

CR2  are  protection  diodes.  If  the  input  to  either  regulator  is 

somehow  shorted  to  ground  the  discharge  currents  of  C9,  C35  and 

any  onboard  capacitance  is  shunted  through  these  diodes  rather 
than  through  the  regulators.  Reverse  current  through  these 
regulators  results  in  catastophic  failures. 

Q2  is  a  simple  voltage  follower.  C7,  R3  and  R4  provide  noise 
filtering  to  the  base  of  the  transistor. 

R2  provides  a  back-up  connection  between  reference  and  chassis 

grounds  so  that  if  the  motherboard  connection  between  the  grounds 
is  broken  for  some  reason,  this  board  will  continue  to  operate, 

although  not  necessarily  within  specifications.
