Theory of Operation Introduction Other than the scope module, the A81 Current Board, the A6 Direct Digital Synthesis Board, and the A3 Mother Board, provide the other functions in the 5820A. Digital controls are provided by the 5520A-4002 for the front panel display and by 5520A-4009 Out-Guard CPU on the rear panel for all external and internal communication.
5820A Service Manual The 5 s to 50 ms markers are generated on A6 and are passed to A55 for filtering and shaping. The 20 ms to 2 s markers are derived from a square wave signal that is generated on A55 and passed through wave shaping and external trigger generation. The 1 s to 20 ns periods are derived from leveled sine or square wave signals.
Theory of Operation Introduction 2-11. Current Module For the A81 Current Board, A55 supplies the reference signal. This signal is inverted with respect to polarity of the output current (a negative voltage results in a positive current output). A81 has three ranges: 100 µA to 1.0999 mA, 1.1 mA to 10.999 mA and 11 mA to 100 mA.
