2.4  Electrical Circuit Operating Principles
The electric circuit of the Stylus CX3700/CX3800/CX3805/CX3810/DX3800/
DX3850 consists of the following boards.
 Main Board (CPU-ASIC 2 in 1 + So
ldering Flash ROM)
  C612 Main Board
 Power Supply Board 
 C610 PSB/PSE Board
NOTE: CPU and ASIC is integrated as one chip (IC8) on the Main Board.
This section provides operating principles of C
612 Main Board and C610 PSB/PSE 
Board. Refer to Figure 2-17 (p.53) for the major connection of the each boards and 
their roles.

2.4.1  PSB/PSE Board
In the PSB/PSE Board of Stylus CX3700/CX3800/CX3805/CX3810/DX3800/
DX3850, the simulated oscillating stimulation flyback converter circuit method is 
used, and it supplies +42VDC to the drive line. The application of the output voltage is 
described below.
AC voltage input from AC inlet first goes through filter circuit that removes high 
frequ
ency components and is then converted to DC voltage via the rectifier circuit and 
the smoothing circuit. DC voltage is then lead to the switching circuit and FET Q1 
preforms the switching operation. By the switching operation of the primary circuit, 
+42VDC is generated and stabilized at the secondary circuit.
