transistor Q1050 (via CR1030). Since the Inverter Drive
stage will alternately turn either Q1060 or Q1070 on,
relatively large current pulses will result in the primary
winding of inverter output transformer T1060.
These large current pulses, over the period of a few
cycles, will increase the charge on the storage capacitors
on the secondary side of the transformer and will reduce
the current demand on the inverter output transformer. As
the demand increases, the voltage across the primary
winding will increase until it reaches the point where the
two inputs of U2 are at the same potential. At this point,
the output of U2 (to U3) will settle to a level approximately
equal to the midpoint of the triangular waveform applied to
the other input of U3. The resulting drive signal has an
approximate 50% duty cycle and will respond to changes
in either the ac line voltage or supply load conditions.
Depending on the output levels sensed, the duty cycle of
the drive signal will change (sensed level rises or falls with
respect to the triangular waveform) to hold the secondary
supplies at their proper levels.
Opto-isolator U1040 and resistor R1044 form a control
network that allows a voltage sensed at the feedback
input (FB) to slightly alter the voltage-sense reference
applied to pin 2 of U2. The FB signal is generated by the

(U1371,
