2 Functional description
The block circuit diagram of the entire instrument in Section 1.1 and the functional
blocks of circuit diagram sheets (P-plans) describe the individual functional blocks.
2.1 Switching power supply
The switching power supply generates the fundamental device voltage for the PCB
Control CS_CI and for the PCB NC Battery Charge.
It has the following input specifications:
Input voltage range: 85 ... 264V ac
Line frequency range: 47 ... 65 Hz
The output voltage is +26.5 V dc, the maximum load is 1.5A.
2.2 PCB NC Battery Charge
MAC1200 and MAC1100 with the option “Battery” can operate battery powered. With
a new, fully charged NC battery, in Automatic Mode up to 50 ECG can be recorded.
The PCB NC Battery Charge, controls and monitors the charging process, depending
on the status of the battery and the status of the device.
Section 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 is not valid for MAC1100 without option “Battery”.
2.2.1 Charging circuit for the NC battery
An integrated charging device is used to charge the battery. During charging it
monitors the battery voltage function and switches over from rapid charging to trickle
charging.
Applying the line power to the MAC 1200, or insertion of the battery activates the
charging circuit.
During a recording, the charging current is reduced.
In standby mode, a depleted battery is fully charged within 4 hours.

Marquette Hellige GmbH MAC 1100/1200 V 1.1 Page 12
227 492 20 D - 0002
2.2.2 Device behavior depending on the state of battery charge
Depending on the status of the battery and the status of the device, the following
behavior occurs:
State1: Battery depleted, line power supply is connected up:
Battery charged in rapid mode; when fully charged, switchover to trickle
charging.
State 2: Battery full, line power supply is connected up:
Battery charged in rapid mode for some minutes till the charging circuit
recognizes “battery full“, then switchover to trickle charging.
State 3: Battery depleted, no line power supply, device is switched on:
Device inoperative.
State 4: Battery full, no line power supply, device is switched on:
Device fully operative.
When battery is almost depleded, the LEDBAT signal is activated to
Indicate that the device should be charged by connecting to the line
power supply. If the operation is continued without line power, MAC
1200 will shut down itself when a minimum level is reached to prevent
the battery from a excessive discharge.
State 5: Battery depleted, line power supply is connected up, device is switched
on:
Battery is charged in rapid mode, device is fully operative, including
recording.
During recording, the charging current is reduced. If in this phase, a lot
of recordings take place, the battery is not fully charged within 4 hours.
2.3 PCB Control CS_CI
The PCB Control CS_CI is the mainboard of the MAC 1200, the PCB Control CS_C
is the mainboard of the MAC1100, which has not all memory circuit mounted. The
mainboard accommodates the control functions of the device, except the line power
supply and the NC battery-charging controller.

Marquette Hellige GmbH MAC 1100/1200 V 1.1 Page 13
227 492 20 D - 0002
2.3.1 Generation of internal power supplies
Logic power supply + 5V and + 3.3V
The processor core and the memory is a fully + 3.3V design.
The interface functions to display, to RS-232, to the printing unit and to the ECG
acquisition unit are supplied with + 5V.
Both the + 3.3V and the + 5V are generated separately by a clock-rated voltage
controller. By using the „adjustable version“ of the voltage controller, both supplies
are based on the same voltage controller. The output voltage is determined by
appropriate dimensioning of the voltage divider at the feedback input of the voltage
controller.
Standby supply + 5VSTB and + 3.3VSTB
The standby supply + 5VSTB supplies the ON/OFF Control, the + 3.3VSTB buffers
the patient ECG memory when the device is turned off.
Both supplies are generated together from one low-power linear regulator with low
quiescent supply current.
Analog supply + 12V
+ 12V is used for the heating control and temperature monitoring of the printing unit,
which requires only a current of a few milliamperes.
This supply is generated by a linear regulator with feedback input.
2.3.2 Switch On/Off circuit
The Switch On/Off Circuit consists of the On/Off Control and the Voltage Control.
The On/Off Control switches the device on or off by switching the device supplies
+UVERS and +USUPPSW.
The On/Off Control is supplied from the + 5VSTB.
Device On Sequence:
The transition from Device Off State, or Standby State when line power is connected
to Device On State can only be activated by pressing the On/Off button.
Device Off Sequence:
The transition from Device On State to Device Off State, or Standby State when line
power is connected can be achieved as follows:
pressing the On/Off button
when the control core activates the signal DEV_OFF,

Marquette Hellige GmbH MAC 1100/1200 V 1.1 Page 14
227 492 20 D - 0002
when the voltage control applies the signal REG_OFF_, because the battery
voltage gets too low during battery operation.
The Voltage Control controls the battery voltage during battery operation.
The signal BATT_LEV2 indicates that the battery charge has gone down, and the
device should be connected to the line power soon.
The signal BAT_LEV1 indicates that the battery has been discharged almost
completely, the device should be connected to the line power immediately, otherwise
the device will shut down within few minutes.
If battery discharge is continued without connecting to the line power, the signal
REG_OFF_ is activated and the device is switched off.
2.3.3 ECG recording and front-end processing
The patient input is classified as being cardiac floating and is defibrillation-proof.
The patient leads are connected with a 15-pin connector with a special form for the
specified and released patient cables for the MAC1100/1200.
The main element of the ECG recording and front-end processing is a set of chips
comprising 3 ASICs. Pace detection is realized by a separate circuit.
Every disconnected electrode is detected by a special AC measurement, which
allows higher impedance between electrode and patient.
N common-mode compensation ensures suppression of interference, at the same
time serving to improve the in-phase suppression of the input electrodes.
To protect patients, the ECG recording and front-end processing are assembled as
floating components. Digital signals from and to the controller core are transmitted
via opto-electronic couplers. The floating supply +/- 5V is generated by an isolated
flyback converter from the + 5V logic power supply.

227 492 20 D - 0002
2.3.4 Controller core
The actual core comprises the Motorola Power PC MPC821, which contains the
following integrated components:
chipselect logic
DRAM controller
SCC and SMC for RS-232
LCD controller
SPI Interface
I/O ports
Real-Time Clock counter register
In addition, the MPC821 contains a JTAG port with test and programming
capabilities.
The MPC821 has the following additional power supplies:
VDDSYN, filtered from the + 3.3V logic supply, for the clock generation.
KAPWR, generated from the + 3.3V logic supply, or from a battery when device is
off, used for buffering the RTC Counter Register.
The clock generation for the MPC821 is realized by a quartz oscillator with
32.768KHz. The system clock CLOCKOUT is adjusted with the internal PLL register.
The system frequency is 25 MHz.
The Watchdog /Reset Generation is implemented separately in an integrated
system monitoring chip. It has the following functions:
Power-up reset for the MPC821 when the device is switched on
Voltage monitoring of the + 3.3V and + 5V, with reset generation
Watchdog
Switchover to battery supply for patient ECG memory when device is switched off
Signal for access protection for patient ECG memory when device is switched off
The Reset Configuration defines startup conditions like boot port size and clock
generation source.
Four LEDs indicate the device status in addition:
LED1: active when a HRESET_ occurs
LED2: indicator for the logic supply
LED3, LED4: indicate internal software states
The control register comprises device control signals to switch off the device,
control battery charging and display control signals.
The status register contains information on the device hardware configuration and
the state of the battery charge.

Marquette Hellige GmbH MAC 1100/1200 V 1.1 Page 16
227 492 20 D - 0002
2.3.5 Real time clock
Since the internal Real-Time Counter Register of the MPC821 is used, no external
Real Time Clock chip is required. The internal RTC Register is buffered by the
voltage KAPWR.
2.3.6 Memory
The complete memory of the MAC1100/1200 is located on the PCB Control CS_C(I).
The software of the device can be loaded through the JTAG Port during the
production process, or for service purposes with the appropriate programming
software through the RS-232 interface.
Program Memory:
Type: Flash, + 3.3V supply
Organization: 1 Mbit x32, 4 Mbyte MAC1100: 0,5Mbit x32, 2 Mbyte
Waitstates: 1 Waitstate
DRAM:
Type: EDO DRAM, + 3.3V supply

227 492 20 D - 0002
2.3.7 LCD graphics display interface
For the LCD interface to the ¼ VGA monochrome LCD interface, the internal LCD
controller of the MPC821 is used.
Controller Interface:
For the digital control signals, delivered from the MPC821, only an output driver is
required.
LCD Power Supply:
The LCD power supply VEE of -23V is generated from the +5V logic supply. The
generation starts after HRESET_ becomes inactive to ensure that the logic supply of
+5V first is applied to the display.
Adjusting Contrast:
Contrast adjustment of the Display is accomplished with the contrast voltage V0. The
level of V0 is controlled with the PWM signal BLCD_CONTR from the timer module
of the MPC821. In addition, the contrast voltage is temperature compensated.
Backlight:
The LCD backlight converter for the CCFL tube is located on the PCB Control
CS_CI too. The backlight converter is generated from the +5V logic power supply.
The signal BLCD_ENBA switches the backlight on or off.
The user can define the backlight active time in the configuration menu.
2.3.8 Keypad interface
The keypad interface contains the control register for 8 keypad columns and the
receiving register for 7 keypad rows, and the control signals for the status LEDs:
LED_LIN, LED_BATT, LED_START and LED_STOP.
Using the matrix of 8 x 7, up to 56 keypads can be detected.
Identification of the key pressed is as follows:
The controller activates a column, activation is via low-level, then the row-register is
read to identify the pressed key by a low-level. This procedure is repeated with the
next column, till all columns have been activated.

227 492 20 D - 0002
2.3.9 Printhead control
The printhead controller takes on the complete control of the 216-mm thermal
printhead with a line width of 200 mm.
The output rate to the printhead is 1000 /sec. The resolution in the Y-direction is
8 dot/mm, in the X- time axis up to 40 dots/mm.
Thermal Printhead Dot Control:
The MPC821 prepares a complete dot column and sends it to the FIFO. A complex
PLD reads out a complete column of the FIFO and generates the digital control
signals for the printhead, which are shifted in series.
The duration of heating a dot column is defined through the pulse width of the PWM
Signal HEAT that is generated from the complex PLD too.
In addition, the duration of heating a dot column is influenced by the thermal
printhead monitoring.
Thermal Printhead Temperature Monitoring:
The thermal printhead temperature monitoring measures the temperature of the
thermistor, located on the printhead. A constant current source effects a
temperature-dependent voltage drop.
If a printhead temperature of 55°C is exceeded, the signal REC_OVHEAT_ is
activated and the heating of the printhead is prevented by disabling the signal
STROBE.
Only when the printhead temperature drops below 50°C is the signal
REC_OVHEAT_ disabled and the heating via the signal STROBE re-enabled.
In addition, a continuous reduction of the heating duration occurs with increasing
printhead temperature, resulting in a regular typeface throughout the entire
temperature range.
2.3.10 Motor control
Paper transportation for the speeds 5mm/s, 25mm/s and 50mm/s is driven by a
stepping motor. The stepping motor is controlled by an integrated stepping motor
driver circuit. The current for the motor is adjusted by the sense resistors of the
stepping motor driver.
For the speed 5mm/s, the motor current is reduced, triggered by the signal
LOW_SPEED.
The motor speed is controlled by the frequency of the signal RECTMR_STEP, which
is generated by the timer unit of the MPC821.
The driver circuit is enabled by the signal REC_MOTEN, the driver is powered from
+22,5V.

Marquette Hellige GmbH MAC 1100/1200 V 1.1 Page 19
227 492 20 D - 0002
2.3.11 RS-232 interface
The MAC1100/1200 has an RS-232 interface accessible with a 9-pin Sub-D
connector.
Except for the RS-232 driver chip, the interface is integrated into the control core of
the MPC821.
The interface has the following attributes:
hardware handshake with the signals RTS and CTS
or software handshake with XON/XOFF
transmission speeds from 4800 ... 38400 Baud
maximum input voltage range: +/- 15V
minimum driver output voltage: +/- 5V

2.3.12 Buzzer
The buzzer is an integrated signal generator with fixed frequency, directly operating
from the +5V logic power supply.
Activating and deactivating is controlled with the signal SPEAKER.
2.4 PCB Modem Supply CS_M
PCB Modem Supply CS_M generates a supply voltage of +8V dc, to operate a
special GE marquette modem direct on the RS-232 interface on the MAC1200
without the need of an external power supply for the modem.
The Voltage is generated by a switching regulator with current limit and thermal
protection from the +26,5V.
The modem supply voltage +8V is accessible on Pin 6 of the RS232 interface.
The protection against ESD is realized with a Transzorb diode on the PCB Control
CS_CI
.
