4.6 Power Supply Circuitry
Introduction For a block diagram of the power supply circuitry, refer to Figure 4.6.
The power-supply circuitry consists of the following main sections:
■ supply protection
■ supervisory circuit
■ internal power supplies
■ control of internal power supplies
■ control of external power supply
Supply Protection Electrical protection to the base station is provided by the clamping diode
D600 and by 20A fuses (for the 50W/40W boards) and 10A fuses (for the
25W boards) in the positive and negative leads of the power cable.
This provides protection from reverse voltages, positive transients greater
than 30V, and all negative transients. An ADC monitors the supply and is
responsible for the protection of internal devices, which have an operating
voltage of less than 30V. The ADC also ensures protection if the base station
operates outside its specified voltage range of 10.8V to 16V.
Supervisory Circuit The supervisory circuit comprises a reset and watchdog timer. The circuit
provides the reset signal
PSU SYS RST to the digital section, which in turn
provides the watchdog signal
DIG WD KICK required by the supervisory circuit.
Internal Power
Supplies
There are eight internal power supplies:
■ one SMPS (+3V3)
■ four linear regulators (+9V0, +6V0, +3V0 AN, +2V5 CDC)
■ three switched supplies (+9V0 TX, +3V0 RX, +13V8 SW)
The SMPS is used to regulate to 3.3V from the external supply +13
V8 BATT.
The four lower voltages required are then further stepped down with linear
regulators. These all take advantage of the efficiency gain of the SMPS.
The 9V regulator and the 13.8V switched supply are connected to +13
V8
BATT. The two remaining switched supplies (9V and 3V) use P-channel
MOSFETs.
