MIS* Bus Connector A 24-pin connector used as an I/O port for remote operation (Fluke MIS Bus) of the 5220A. When the 5220A is interfaced with a 5100 Series Calibrator (by way of a Y5000 interface) the 5220A output can be controlled from the 5100 front panel.
Operating Instructions Operating Notes Table 2-1. Controls, Indicators, and Connectors (cont.) Ref. Name Function Power Connector Provides the means of connecting the 5220A to ac line power by way of a 3-wire power cord. Fuse Holder Houses the ac line fuse and allows easy access for fuse replacement. Ground Connector A binding post positioned to provide a convenient connection to chassis ground.
5 220A Instruction Manual 2-13. Input Voltage Selection, Front/Rear Selection of the front or rear terminals for control voltage input is manually accomplished by pressing the INPUT push button switch on the front panel. Each depression alternately selects front or rear as indicated by the lit FRONT/REAR LED indicator. This switch is active in the local mode, and inactive in the remote mode.
This allows the 5220A to internally control the rate of change. If the control voltage is taken from a Fluke Model 5100 Series Calibrator, the calibrator will limit its output to an acceptable rate of change.

The analog section consists of the power supplies, the transconductance amplifier, and associated analog control circuitry. The digital section comprises the logic necessary for overall control, and the interfaces necessary for front panel (local) operation and remote operation by way of the Fluke MIS Bus. 3-4. Analog Section The power supply used in the 5220A provides operating voltages for both the analog and the digital section of the unit.

Theory of Operation Overall Functional Description The transconductance amplifier is a three-stage, closed-loop amplifier whose feedback signal is proportional to the 5220A output (load) current. It consists of the A5 Preamp, the A6 Driver, the A7 Output, and a precision four-terminal shunt. Input voltage to the amplifier is presented, by way of front or rear input terminals, to the A5 Preamp.
5 220A Instruction Manual 3-5. Digital Section The logic portion of the 5220A controls the sequencing of input relays (front/rear) and other control signals that turn the transconductance amplifier on and off. It also provides drive commands to light appropriate front panel status LEDs. Inputs to the logic are in the form of local/remote control commands from the front panel switches or the remote MIS Bus Interface, and overload signals from the analog control circuit.
Page 33
Theory of Operation Circuit Analysis The A4 Regulator is designed to convert the ac outputs from the three remaining secondary windings of T1 into three sets of isolated and regulated voltages: +5 V dc, +15/-15 V dc, and +5 V dc ISO (isolated). Each voltage is produced using conventional regulating techniques.
5 220A Instruction Manual 3-8. Preamplifier The A5 Preamplifier, as shown in Figure 3-4, is a high-gain amplifier designed to accept a front/rear panel input signal and provide an amplified output to the A6 Driver stage of the transconductance amplifier. It consists of a high-gain differential amplifier with feedback resistors, front/rear input select relays, and turn-on/off control circuitry.
Theory of Operation Circuit Analysis the rate at which the input voltage is applied to the A5 Preamplifier when the 5220A is switched from standby to operate. This is necessary to prevent a step output which, if applied to an inductive load, would result in an overvoltage transient, forcing the 5220A back to standby.

5 220A Instruction Manual string is used as a voltage source to set the quiescent bias for the remaining stages of the complementary A7 Driver and A7 Output. Variable resistor R13 is used to set the initial bias voltage. ajs10f.wmf Figure 3-5.
Theory of Operation Circuit Analysis 3-10. A7 Output The A7 Output is a discrete-component, complementary-output, high-current amplifier which serves as the final output stage of the transconductance amplifier. See Figure 3-6. It consists of a pair of driver transistors, Q101 and Q102; two parallel pair(s) of output transistors, Q103, Q104 and Q105, Q106;...
5 220A Instruction Manual 3-11. A8 Analog Control The A8 Analog Control Assembly, as shown in Figure 3-7, contains an overcompliance detector, an overcurrent detector and two TTL-to-FET level shifters. The detection circuits are used to switch the 5220A to standby when an overcurrent or overcompliance condition occurs.
Theory of Operation Circuit Analysis it were a logic level. That is, voltages from 0 to an approximate 2 V threshold are considered a low logic level. A high logic level is approximately 2 to 4.5 V. The TTL-to-FET level shifters are used to interface turn on/off commands TTL logic levels, T1 and T2, from the A10 Logic with the standby/operate control FETs in the transconductance amplifier.

5 220A Instruction Manual ajs13f.wmf Figure 3-8. A10 Logic Simplified Block Diagram Loss or interruption of the +15/-15 V dc supply output causes the Line Mon (monitor) input from the power supply to go low. Normally, the line monitor input is a clipped full- wave rectified 60 Hz waveform which is generated on the A4 Regulator Assembly.
Theory of Operation Circuit Analysis input is present. Under normal operating condition the reset command is high at U9-10 and low at U3-10. When the 5220A is switched from remote to local operation the local/remote logic triggers monostable U11-10 in the reset logic circuit. The result is a momentary positive- going pulse at the Q output of U11-10.
5 220A Instruction Manual The shift-right mode is selected when flop-flop U17-1 responds to an operate command (D-input low) and drives the register’s S0 input high and the S1 input low. This results in the high input at U22-2 being sequentially propagated through the register and its four outputs (QD, QC, QB and QA) being driven high (operate).
Theory of Operation Circuit Analysis indicates standby, high indicates operate. The not Operate signal is received from the A11 MIS Bus Interface and is effective only when the 5220A is in the remote control mode. In the high state, the signal clears flip-flop U10-9 to invoke the standby mode. When not Operate goes low it presets flip-flop U10-9 (by way of U8-7) to invoke the operate mode.
5 220A Instruction Manual 3-19. Failure Status Logic The failure status logic consists of three D-type flip-flop (U16-1, U16-13, and U17-13) and their associated logic gates and drivers. Its function is to store failure conditions detected by other parts of the A10 Logic and to drive the front panel STATUS indicators. An optical isolator is also included for providing an Interface Overload Status signal to the A11 MIS Bus Interface.
Page 45
Theory of Operation Circuit Analysis enabled so that a status read can take place when BC0 and BC2 go high. Status read causes the w/not R line to go low for the duration of the BC0 and BC2 inputs. At the end of status read, the RS flop-flop is reset, closing the w/not R gate (U5-8) until it is reopened by another programming input.
