2.3.2. Working  Procedure 
The AC input passes the EMI filter circuit and then the BOOST PFC circuit to be converted to 
DC 370-410V. It then be converted to +5V, +13.5V, +12V and +24V outputs by the 
two-transistor forward converter. The +5V output is the main feedback output of the converter 
and others are auxiliary outputs of the converter. To obtain appropriate voltage and load 
adjustment ratio, +13.5V and +12V are adjusted by the magnetic amplifier and +24V is 
stabilized linearly. +5V is output directly as well as works as the input of +3.3V and -5V. +24V 
is converted to the HV output by BOOST. 
+5V, -5V, +13.5V and HV have the overvoltage and overcurrent protection. When the 
protection takes effect for +5V, the whole power supply board stops outputting; When the 
protection takes effect for -5V and HV, only -5V and HV are stopped outputting; When the 
protection takes effect for +13.5V, +5V is not affected. 
The power supply board also has the overtemperature protection function, which prevents 
temperature of key power devices such as the transformer and MOSFET from exceeding safe 
range when the system malfunctions. 
2.3.3. Circuit  Description 
The PFC circuit uses the control chip UC3854 from TI company and BOOST converter 
controlled with average current mode. It also uses IRFPC60LC (600V/16A) from IR company 
as the main switch tube and ISL9RL1560G2 (600V/15A ) from FAIRCHILD company as the 
follow current tube.   
The control chip U8 of the FORWARD converter is the voltage control chip MB3769A from 
FUJITSU company, which can adjust voltage, limit current cycle by cycle, and has built-in 
functions of soft start, low-voltage lock and protection lock. The transformer T1 not only 
transforms voltage but meets requirements of safe isolation. The switch tube is SPA06N60C3
