The output of the attenuator is connected to the vertical
input
buffer Q100. The
buffer circuit provides a very high impedance to the attenuator circuit resulting
in
accurate attenuation factors.
The output impedance of the buffer circuit is relatively low,
which
is necessary
to drive
the
pre-amplifier circuit.
The
input
buffer is protected for high amplitude
input
signals
by
a high value
resistor
and
protection diodes. The resistor (475
kn)
limits the current
in
over-
load situations through the protection diode CR101 or the FET Q100.
The output signal of the
input
buffer is connected to either the 2 m V amplifier
or the pre-amplifier circuit.
Pre-amplifier circuit U101 converts the single side
input
voltage to a differential
output current. This circuit provides logic controlled gain switching
(see Table
3-1).
The overall gain
can
be controlled
by
a de voltage ranged
between +2.5 V and
-2.5
V and applied to the
VAR
input. The gain ratio
between these two levels is at least 2.5:1. The
VAR
input
is used to calibrate the
vertical sensitivity. The output current of the pre-amplifier is connected to the
summing point of the delay line driver.
