Special handling of static-sensitive
devices
CMOS and other high-impedance devices are subject to pos-
sible static discharge damage because of the high-impedance
levels involved. The following precautions pertain specif -
cally to static-sensitive devices. However, since many
devices in the Model 7036 are static-sensitive, it is recom-
mended that they all be treated as static-sensitive.
1. Such devices should be transported and handled only in
containers specially designed to prevent or dissipate
static buildup. Typically, these devices will be received
in anti-static containers made of plastic or foam. Keep
these parts in their original containers until ready for
installation.
2. Remove the devices from their protective containers
only at a properly grounded work station. Also, ground
yourself with a suitable wrist strap while working with
these devices.
3. Handle the devices only by the body; do not touch the
pins.
4. Any printed circuit board into which the device is to be
inserted must f rst be grounded to the bench or table.
5. Use only anti-static type de-soldering tools and
grounded-tip soldering irons.
Principles of operation
The paragraphs below discuss the basic operating principles
for the Model 7036 and can be used as an aid in troubleshoot-
ing the switch card. The schematic drawings of the switch
card are shown on drawing numbers 7036-106 and 7036-176
located at the end of Section 6.
Block diagram
Figure 5-6 shows a simplif ed block diagram of the
Model 7036. Key elements include the relay drivers and
relays, as well as the ROM, which contains card ID and con-
f guration information. These various elements are discussed
in the following paragraphs.
