Bias Supplies Problems
Check that the input to the voltage regulators of the bias supplies is at least 1 V greater
than their output.
Circuit failures can cause heavy loads of the bias supplies which may pull down the
regulator output voltages.
Check the voltages of bias supplies as tabulated below.
Table 5-1. Bias Supplies Voltages
Table 5-2. Bias Supplies Voltages (MY53xx6xxx)
Some circuits produce their own local bias supplies from the main bias supplies. Be
sure to check that these local bias supplies are active. In particular, the ADC (analog-
to-digital converter), ac input, and front panel sections have local bias supplies.
Always check that the power supplies are free of ac oscillations using an oscilloscope.
Failure of bias supplies will cause many self-test failures.
