Power Supply/Midplane Troubleshooting
A7 Midplane Description
Power Supply Dithering
A triangle wave of approximately 100 Hz is generated and goes directly to the 
A6 Power Supply assembly. This is used to frequency modulate the power 
supply switching frequency for the purpose of lowering any power supply 
related interference. If for some reason the level of the power supply related 
interference is higher than normal this circuitry, or the A6 Power Supply 
assembly, could be suspect.
Miscellaneous Circuitry
Other circuitry on the A7 Midplane include a circuit to phase lock the CPU 
clock to the analyzer's 10 MHz reference and a Complex Programmable Logic 
Device (CPLD) used as an Instrument Local Bus (ILB) buffer to A16 Reference 
Assembly connector at J21.
