System Overview
 
                   2-19 
Optical coupling 
-  Optical coupling circuit is responsible for changing voltage level and isolating the ground of circuit at 
each sides of optical coupler. 
DAC 
-  DAC (Digital Analog Converter) circuit is responsible for output analog signal, such as KV setting, mA 
setting and mA pre-heat. 
VFC 
-  VFC (Voltage Frequency Converter) circuit is responsible for converting mA signal to frequency value 
in order to implement mAs function. 
Communication 
-  RS422 protocol is used for MCU to communicate with workstation or DAP. 
-  SPI protocol is used for MCU to communicate with Control Panel. 
Indication 
-  Indication circuit includes LED and buzzer, which are controlled by MCU and peripheral controller. 
Miscellaneous hardware 
-  Other circuits include power supply, supervisor circuit, watchdog circuit, clock generator, and security 
control, etc. 
Power Distribution 
Power Supply Overview 
The power of MCB is drove by power supply 1 & 2 via mother board, and +3.3V, +2.5V & +1.2V are generated 
from +5V_PS1. Power supplies are listed as follows. 
Reference of -15V_PS1 & +15V_PS1 
Grounding Connection 
All the grounds of power are connected by mother board with one point strategy.
