TB7100 Service Manual Frequency Synthesizer Fault Finding 147
© Tait Electronics Limited October 2005
11.2 Power Supplies
Introduction First check that a power supply is not the cause of the fault. There are four
power supplies for the frequency synthesizer — two are supplied from the
PSU (power supply unit) module and two are produced in the synthesizer
circuitry itself:
â– Task 3: 14 V DC supply from SMPS (VCL SUPPLY)
â– Task 4: 6 V DC supply from 6 V regulator in PSU module (+6V0)
â– Task 5: 5 V DC supply following filtering of 6 V supply (+5V DEC)
â– Task 6: 3 V DC supply from 3 V regulator in PSU module (+3V0 AN)
The measurement points for diagnosing faults in the power supplies are
summarized in Figure 11.1.
