20 4. Power supply MG5.1E
4.3 Full power supply
Personal notes
When the set is turned On, the Main Switch Mode power supply
is turned On. (Figure 4-7) This supply produces the +130 volt,
+33 volt, +35 volt, -35 volt, -15 volt, and +15 volt supplies.
When the On/Off line goes Low, transistor 7309 is turned Off,
turning transistor 7300 On. This switches relay 1305 On.
Startup voltage from the neutral side of the AC mains will
charge capacitor 2303 to 14.5 volts which will overcome the
undervoltage lockout of IC 7302. After the Soft Start capacitor
2443 charges, the oscillator inside the IC will turn On. Each
cycle of the oscillator will set the flip-flop which will cause Pin 3
to go High. This will turn the FET switch 7301 On. Voltage is
applied to the Drain of 7301 through Pins 4 and 8 of 5300 from
the Power Factor Correction circuit. Current through sensing
resistors 3308 and 3309 will develop a voltage which is applied
to comparator "B" connected to Pin 7. When the voltage on Pin
7 reaches the reference voltage on the inverting input, the Flip-
Flop will be reset. The voltage on the inverting side of
comparator "B" is limited to 1 volt. Therefore, the ramp voltage
on Pin 7 will not exceed 1 volt. The circuit will continue to
operate until the charge on capacitor 2303 falls below 9.4 volts
shutting the IC Off. Each time 7301 is turned On, energy is
stored in transformer 5300. Voltage from the Hot secondary on
Pin 10 is rectified by 6301. When the output of this circuit has
sufficient energy to maintain 2303 above 9.4 volts, the IC then
operates in steady state.
When IC 7302 develops a normal steady state operation, the
130 volt supply is sampled by resistors 3324, 3323, and 3322.
This sample voltage is then sent to Shunt regulator 7303 which
drives the feedback optoisolator 7303. The feedback voltage on
Pin 14 is then compared with an internal 2.5 volt reference by
comparator "C". Comparator "C" then sets the reference
voltage on the inverting side of comparator "B" to control the On
time of the drive at Pin 3. If the voltage on Pin 14 increases due
to the 130 volt supply increasing, the On time of the pulse on
Pin 3 will be reduced. If the 130 volt supply decreases, the
voltage on Pln 14 would decrease, causing the On time of the
pulse on Pin 3 to increase. This is used to keep the 130 volt
supply at the correct voltage. Variable resistor 3322 is used to
adjust the 130 volt supply to the correct level.
The overvoltage protection circuit of the IC will shut the IC down
if the VCC level on Pin 1 exceeds 17 volts.
To troubleshoot this circuit, first check the On/Off line from the
Small Signal Panel to ensure that it is going Low. Then check
for the presence of startup voltage on Pin 1 of the regulator IC
7302. If the IC is working correctly, this voltage will be changing
from 9.4 to 14.5 volts. If the startup voltage is not present, check
the startup resistor 3300 and the bridge rectifier. If the voltage
on Pin 1 is changing, check the drive signal on Pin3. Then
check for signal on the gate and drain of 7301. An excessive
load on the secondary, a short on the 130 volt line for example,
would cause the supply to pulse with little or no voltage on the
secondary.
