9, POWER CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. BLOCK DIAGRAM
(Block diagram)
A. +5V and +12V supplies
1.Functions
a.Supply voltage is first rectified in the rectifier circuit and sent out to the switching regulator via the over- current detector provided in the overcurrent protect circuit.
b.Next, the voltage is converted to the +5/+12V output in the switching regulator and sent out to the noise
•Nfilter.
c. Change in the switching regulator output voltage is sensed by the control circuit and is fed back to the switching regulator after being amplified in the amplifier located in the control circuit, for maintaining the output voltage to a constant level.
d. The signal from the oscillator is supplied to the switch- ing regulator through the control circuit for driving the switching regulator.
e. For prevention of overcurrent, the protect circuit is used for stopping the oscillator when an overcurrent is met, and it makes the switching regulator to halt in order to shut off +12V/+5V supply.
2. Description of each block
a.Overcutrentprotect (control/protect) circuit
When an overcurrent is met in the +5V/+12V circuit, it causes to increase the voltage at both ends of the over- current detector resistor R1, which in turn causes to increase the Q3 collector current, for, there arises larger voltage difference between the emitter and base of the
transistor Q3. This makes the gate voltage of the thyns- tor increased owing to activation of SR. Witr, jctivation of SR it makes the oscillator voltage dropped to the GND level at the point "a" to stop oscillation, which also makes the switching regulator stopped by the de- activation of the transistor Q5 oscillation. This causes the transistor Q5 inactive, and it shuts off the +5V/
+ 12V supply,
b.Oscillation circuit
As the Q1 emitter voltage is at almost GND level whe- the transistor Q1 is active, the Q2 base voltage tem- porarily drops close to the GND level by means of C6, which in turn makes Q2 inactive and the Q2 emittei voltage increases.
Then, the Q2 base voltage comes to rise as C6 begins to be charged through R6, and the transistor Q2 starts to activate again. With activation of the transistor Q2, the Q2 emitter voltage starts to drop and the Q1 base voltage is temporarily dropped by means of C5, to shut off the transistor Ql, which causes to increase the transistor Q1 emitter voltage.
Next, as C5 is charged by R5, it makes the Q1 base voltage increased which puts the transistor Ql into activation. In this manner, transistors Q1 and O2 are alternately turned on and off to keep oscillating.
C5 and C6 are charged through R5 and R6 by on/off action of the Q1 and Q2, and discharged through Ql and Q2.
