PLL data output, Horn control | Kenwood TK-940 specification

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

6-4. PLL data output

PLL data is output fronl DATA (pin 61), EIUABLE (pin 591, and CLOCK ( p ~ n60)of the CPU (IC2091. The sig- nas are input to the PLL IC (ICli when the channel is changed or when transmission is changed to reception and vice versa.

6-5. Horn control

The horn switch, consisting of Q13, 014, and Q29, controls the horn relay. It is supplied by the dealer to provide the external horn alert function.

0 2 9 disables horn alert, turning on when its base is high, to inh~bitthe function. Normally, the output from lClO is low, and 0 1 3 is off; the baseof 0 1 4 is about OV and 0 1 4 is off. When horn alert is enabled, the output from lClO goes high and Q13 turns on. The base current flows through RE1 to Q14 to turn Q14 on. Q14 can sink a minimum of 800mA.

6-6. Power supply circuit

D8 protects 1C1 against overvoltage. Each time a pulse comes from the PSW terminal, the IC1 output is reversed. The reversed output signal passes through 0 1 and Q3 and drives 0 4 . A voltage must be applied to the IGN terminal.

If 24V is supplied to the transceiver by mistake, Q2 turns on, and 0 3 and 0 4 are forced off, so the transceiver does not turn on.

If the SB terminal of the modular jack to which the microphone is connected is shorted or an overcurrent flows, R122 and R123 convert the current to a voltage and 0 3 0 turns on. Its output drives 0 2 8 and turns Q27 on, and the IC1 output foes high. This turns the transceiver off. If the terminal is no longer shorted, the transceiver can be turned on by pressing the power key. R125andC161 are used to prevent malfunction- ing when a device with a large surge current is connected.
