  • Page 5: Power Supply

    Your XK-150 has four basic trainers in a single package. They are, 4 independent power supplies, an analog trainer, a digital and a bredblock assembly trainer. We shall proceed in describing each trainer in the following sections.
  • Page 6: Power Supply Testing

    The following paragraphs give detailed instructions on testing the digital / analog trainer. Note that in the XK-150 trainer there are five major functions, (1) Power Supply (2) Logic Indicators (3) Function Generator (4) Logic Switches and (5) Data Switches. We shall proceed in testing out each section.
  • Page 7: Circuit Description

    CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The XK-150 Power Supply features two variable output voltages and a fixed 5V. The variable voltages are 1.25V to 15V and --1.25 to --15V at up to .25 ampere maximum current. All supplies are regulated to better than .2V when going from no load to full load.
  • Page 8 The IN4001 has peak current rating of 10 amps. REGULATOR CIRCUIT The regulator circuit in the Model XK-150 power supply consists of a LM-317 integrated circuit. This IC is specially designed to perform the regulation function. Figure 6 shows a simplified circuit of how the LM-317 IC works.
  • Page 9 Transistor Q5 is called the pass transistor. It controls the current reaching the output. Transistor Q3 and Q4 are emitter followers. Their function is to raise the impedance of the pass transistor. Note that transistor Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and resistor R1 form a close loop. Also note that the feedback to the base of Q2 is negative, that is, when the base of Q2 goes positive, the output at emitter Q5 goes negative.
  • Page 10: Warranty Policy

    LED to about 30mA. Your XK-150 Digital / Analog Trainer has been tested and conforms to our rigid requirements on performance and durability. It is guaranteed to be free of defects in workmanship, materials and construction for a period of 2 years. If this product should fail during normal use within the first 3 months from the date of purchase, Elenco will repair or replace the unit at no cost.
