AC METERING
CIRCUIT (A2).

Figure 6-3 contains the schematic
of the AC
Metering Circuit.
The
ac
input from the ac post at-
tenuator is applied through A2C1 tothe base of A2Q1.
A2Q2 is an emitter follower that provides impedance
matching
to common
emitter
output
stage
A2Q3.
Capacitor A2C4 provides an ac feedback path for gain
stabilization.

The output from the collector of A2Q3 is recti-
fied by A2CR3 and A2CR4 and applied to the meter
movement.

BATTERY REGULATOR Ai (See Figure 6-3).
4-24.
The Battery Regulator regulates the dc voltage
fromthe 22, 5 volt battery or from the optional power
supply.
The voltage drop across
A1CR2
and the
emitter-base
junction of A1Q3 provides the -6, 7 volt
referencefor the power supply andthe -6. 7 volt output.
A1Q5 senses changes in the +6. 7 volt output and соп-
trols A1Q2, the positive series regulator.

sistor A1Q4 provides
a current shunt for A1CR2 to
keep its voltage constant under heavy current loads,
