Q2 and Q3.When Q7 is turned on the reference input to VR1 is shorted to ground, effectively turning off the +14 Volt supply. Heater power can be turned off by turning on Q1, which removes base drive to Q4. 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments Page: 75...

This node sums the output of the AR2 and U4,6 together. Under normal conditions the output of AR2 is positive and the output of U4,6 is negative.

The combination of this capacitance and R23 provides a compensating zero which stabilizes the circuit.

+5V digital supply voltage is read through multiplexer U 10. Reference operation is tested, but precision is not, since the test is good only to ±5%.

V TO F CONVERTER, and ECD PULSER, forms a feedback loop with the external electron capture detector cell. We will begin the description of this circuitry in the middle, where AR2 and AR3 comprise a current-to-frequency converter. Page: 85 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...
Page 87
As the composition of the gas in the cell changes, the magnitude of the charge varies, and the circuitry on this board adjusts the pulse frequency to exactly balance the current set by the DAC with the current from the cell. Page: 86 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...

R42 adds an offset to the signal, so the normal resting frequency of 1.6kHz produces zero output voltage at AR4-6. R39 and C28 prevent glitches from the system ADC input multiplexer from disturbing AR4. Page: 87 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...
R2, which isolates the amplifier input from the input cable capacitance for loop stability, has almost no DC voltage drop across it, since only the bias current of AR2 flows through it. C3 also enhances loop stability, and reduces high-frequency noise. Page: 88 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...

In normal operation, transistor Q3 is turned on by writing a logic 1 to U3-12, shorting C4 to ground. Voltage variations at P1-10 will then not create an undesired current at the electrometer input. Page: 90 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...

R31 limits the current from AR4 when either CR6 or CR5 is conducting. C33 and R32 provide loop frequency compensation, and CR7 allows the supply to be turned off by setting U3-5 low. Page: 91 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...
C1 and R3 provide feedback loop compensation for U1, and CR5 holds the control pin of U1 (pin 1) low when U6-19 is low, thus turning off the converter. Page: 92 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...
Page 94
To maintain normal bridge voltage control with no detector plugged in, the temperature-limit circuit must be defeated. U2 disconnects the outputs of the limit amplifiers from VR1 when it is turned off, by setting a logic high at U6 pin 2.

40 times more sensitive, due to the greater bridge resistance. As noted in the preceding section, the temperature limit function must be defeated for the circuit to operate without an external bridge. Page: 94 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...
U12-12 remains low, switch U8 (pins 6-8) is turned on. This holds Q1 off, disconnecting the diagnostic current from the electrometer input. Turning off U8 allows the emitter of Q1 to drop to -600mV, placing 9.4V across R29 and injecting 470nA into the input.

Diodes CR1 and CR2 prevent the ends of the primary from dropping below ground, which also clamps the positive excursions at +30V, due to the Page: 97 436-GC/456-GC Service Manual Revision B February 2019 SCION Instruments...

2700. This creates the HV_ SENSE signal, which is routed through analog switch U8 (pins 2-3) to the ADC for diagnostics. AR4 (pins 12-14) is a unity-gain buffer which isolates the supply from the glitches created by switching of the system ADC input multiplexer.
