The switching supply
will

(line) voltage through the power switch on the front panel and the
line module on the rear panel. Post regulation on the

Motherboard
The motherboard contains four functional blocks: modulation
distribution, controller, post regulation, and diagnostic latching.
The modulation distribution block produces two level-calibrated
modulation frequencies,
1
kHz and 400
Hz.
The frequencies are
derived by dividing a
200
kHz
signal from the A4 reference module
by
200
and
250.
The internal signals are leveled by an amplifier and a
12-bit
DAC.
The signals
are
then routed to the
A5
sig gen synth when
FM is enabled, or to the A6 output for
AM.
When internal modulation is turned on, the signal is also routed
to
the
front panel
MOD
INPUT/OUTPUT connector. External modulation
signals are also routed through the modulation distribution block.
External signals can be either ac- or dc-coupled. The modulation
signals can
be
checked at A3TPl for the
FM
signal and at A3TP2 for
the
AM
signal.
The controller contains
the
microprocessor, memory, serial
I/O
for the
other assemblies, HP-IB, front-panel control, and serial interface for
the external control options. Memory is broken into four sections;
EEPROMs,
ROM,
volatile SRAM and non-volatile battery-backed
SRAM. The
ROMs
are
contained on a separate memory board, A3A1.
