Circuit Descriptions

3.1.3
Input Overload Detection
Input overload is detected via dual comparator U201 with a wire-or
output arrangement that is level shifted using Q201 and Q202. This
signal is input to the controller.
3.1.4
Limit Levels
The upper and lower limits are generated using two 12-bit multiply-
ing DACS with level shifting op-amps. A 10 V reference signal from
U205, which can be trimmed with R207, is input to the DACs and
the range of the resulting limit voltages is
±
10 V.
3.1.5
Limiting Circuitry
The limiter consists of two cascaded clamping circuits. Each clamp-
ing circuit consists of two operational amplifiers in a feedback ar-
rangement that allows their ouputs to flip between two stable states
depending on whether the input signal is above or below the limit
voltage.
Consider the operation of the clamping circuit for the upper limit.
Op-amp U303 has diode D312 at its output. The diode is in the
(DC) feedback loop of this amplifier, so depending on the polarity of
the di
ff
erence of the amplifier inputs, the output will either turn the
diode on (into forward conduction) or o
ff
.
When diode D312 is on, the amplifier output acts as a current sink
for the resistor combination R302
/
R304. This e
ff
ectively clamps the
output of the resistor combination to whatever the potential is at the
noninverting input of U303. U305 is a current feedback amplifier
whose output, in this limiting situation, will attempt to rise above
the upper limit voltage, causing diode D311 to be reverse-biased.
This means that the noniverting input of U303 will remain at the
upper limit voltage, so the output of R302
/
R304 will also remain at
the upper limit voltage.
If the input signal (U301s output) drops below the upper limit volt-
age, the noninverting input of U305 will also be lower than the upper
limit, so the output of U305 will swing negative and eventually for-
ward biase diode D311. Now current flows through R322
/
R324 and
D311, so that the noninverting input to U303 is no longer pinned to
the upper limit voltage. Now diode D312 becomes reverse biased,
so that current from R302
/
R304 no longer has a sink at U303s output.
When this happens, the feedback path from U303s output, through
U305, and back to U303s noninverting input, stably holds U303s
output about one diode drop above the upper limit.
