Functional Description:
Refers to the left channel in schematic diagrams.
The first stage of the modulator is an error integrator which
compares the input to the (24 dB amplified) output signal of
the power stage. The difference is leading to a current,
which loads the integrator 7122-A. The second stage
(7122-B) adds the 500kHz rectangular oscillator signal,
creates high gain and low distortion and is again integra-
ting. The output signal leads to a triangle wave form (see
oscillogram E). The DC value of this triangle signal is floa-
ting, dependent on the amplitude of the analog input signal.
The next stage is a comparator, which compares the inte-
grated voltage with the internal switching levels - thus crea-
ting a voltage controlled duty cycle. 7122 C and D improve
the shape of the pulses. For details see oscillograms A-F.
At pin 8 of IC7122 there is a square wave with the same
frequency and duty cycle as the desired output.
The next task is to feed this information to the output FETs.
Both FETs are n-channel types, so they are modulated by
feeding the gate in respect to the source connection.
Inverters 74LV14 are used as drivers. The driver for the low-
side FET (7121) is supplied by the negative supply -VL2
and a voltage +VL (generated by 7115 and 6113), which is
7.5V higher than -VL2. The digital signal is level-shifted by
7128 to the low side driver stage. 3142, 6111 and 2126
together form a delay circuit for rising edges by approx.
100ns for the low side FET. 3154, 6109 and 2137 delay the
rising edge by 50ns for the high side FET. This to compen-
sate the switch-off delay of the FETs and ensures that both
FETs are not conducting at the same time.
The high-side FET (7109) is controlled by the inverted sig-
nal taken from pin 2 of 7118, which is level-shifted by transi-
stor 7119. The driver for the high-side FET is supplied by a
floating voltage between the amplifier output -V1L and
+V1L, created by the charge pump 6110, 2114 regulated by
7114 and 6114 to a 7.5V higher level. The pump is additio-
nally supplied (via 3151) by +45V to ensure supply at start-
up (no signal). The last stage in the gate driver consists of
three gates in parallel for increased output current for the
capacitive load of the FET. For additional increase of the
switching speed push/pull transistors 7132/7111 are added.
Protection Circuits:
The amplifier is protected against low load impedance
(including short circuit). Current is sensed by shunts 3101,
3130 in both supplies. Overcurrent at the positive supply is
then sensed by 7104, the negative supply overcurrent trig-
gers 7117, which then also triggers 7104. The collector cur-
rent in turn triggers the monoflop 7122-5 and -6, giving a
"High" pulse at pin 10. This shuts off level-shifter 7128 and
blocks transistor 7129 and 7131, which draws current into
the emitter resistor 3134 of level-shifter 7119. It is now also
shut off. So, both FETs are shut off within approx. 0,2 sec.
The monoflop can be reset by:
- switching mains off and on again
- pressing Standby button and afterwards any source button
- plugging headphone in for a short moment
When a headphone is used the amplifier is shut off. This is
done by pulling pin 13 of 7122 via signal line "AMP_OFF"
and transistor 7130 to high level. The line "AMP_OFF" is
controlled by the port expander 7406 which detects the
headphone via signal line "HP_DET".
The loudspeakers are protected against DC voltages resul-
ting e.g. from defective FETs. Voltages higher than ±2V are
detected by 7110 respectively 7112. The transistors conduct
and pull the "DC_PROT" line down, blocking transistor 7243
which in turn disables speaker relay 1201.

Adjustments:
The gain of the class-D amplifier is 24dB, adjusted by the
feedback resistors 3155, 3136, 3149 and the input resistors
3139, 3340. The input reference voltage for 7122-A is
approx. half the supply, therefore 3144, 3148 are used for
offset compensation. This compensation has to be fine-
tuned with trimpotentiometers 3306 and 3307 to obtain
<1mV DC output.
Service Hints:
The analog part of the Combi Board can be repaired with-
out opening the metal shielding box. In case of a 'Class D'
problem it is advised to disassemble the board first, desol-
der the metal bottom cover of the shielding box and assem-
ble the board again. This takes a few minutes only.
To de-solder the metal bottom cover proceed as follows:
1)Remove top cover of shielding box to reduce heat flow
2)Do not use de-solder wick
3)Simply hold the board upright down as shown in picture 1.
Heat up solder joints and move tip of soldering iron slowly
along the edge of the metal frame.
Solder will flow along the soldering tip and rest on the
metal plate. A small amount will drop off.
A small gap will become visible as indication that the sol-
der connection is released.
When all solder joints are released the cover can be
removed by help of a screwdriver. Begin at the corner
indicated by an arrow → see picture 2.

To re-mount the metal bottom cover proceed as follows:
1)The solder connections are not distributed evenly.
Therefore the cover has to be mounted in that way that
the arrow indicator on the cover is positioned in line with
the arrow printed on the printed board → see picture 3.
Service Hints
2)Press the metal cover smoothly down until the gap bet-
ween cover and printed board becomes a minimum. This
is important for proper shielding.
3)Heat up the residual solder on the metal cover. The solder
will flow back to the solder areas. If necessary apply addi-
tional new solder.
4)Take care that all solder joints are re-soldered again.
Attention: Poor soldering of the metal shielding box results
in disturbance of the tuner.

In most cases the FETs 7109 and/or 7121 for the left chan-
nel, respectively 7218 and/or 7231 for the right channel will
be defective. This can easily be checked with an ordinary
Ohm-meter.
