  • Page 9: Introduction

    The PB-503C eliminates the clutter and confusion that often results when constructing sophisticated circuits. Alligator clips and similar connectors are seldom needed. Sockets on the PB-503C allow insertion of components or wires of up to 20 gauge. A detailed panel layout and description of the PB-503C is given in the section...
  • Page 10: Description Of Individual Features

    DESCRIPTION OF INDIVIDUAL FEATURES In order to properly use the full capabilities of the PB-503C, it is highly recommended that the user become familiar with the panel layout and the features of the components. (See Figure 1) POWER SUPPLIES By combining the three DC power supplies on the PB-503C, the user may work with virtually any type of integrated circuit or discrete component.
  • Page 11 All leads for both potentiometers are available and uncommitted. BNC CONNECTORS The PB-503C may be connected to other pieces of equipment via two BNC connectors. This allows the use of shielded cable to minimize noise and interference. SWITCHES Two single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are provided for general switching functions.
  • Page 12: Checking Out The Pb-503C

    CHECKING OUT THE PB-503C The PB-503C may be checked out for proper operation by making a few simple measurements and connections. Begin by connecting the AC line cord to a suitable receptacle. The AC power indicator should light when the power switch is turned on.
  • Page 13 the low (logic "0") position. Move each switch between its high and low position to verify proper functioning. Switch the logic switch +5/+V high level switch to +V and the logic indicator +5/+V operating voltage switch to +V; the relationship between the switch positions and the logic indicator display should remain the same, regardless of the setting of the 1.3 - 15 volts +V supply.
  • Page 14: Breadboarding Techniques

    BREADBOARDING TECHNIQUES This section contains information which may prove useful when constructing circuits using the PB-503C. While there are no hard and fast rules for breadboarding, the following tips may save time and trouble. Unless a circuit is being prepared for a demonstration or display, avoid cutting component leads very short.
