Analog circuits
Figure 4-2 shows a block diagram of the analog circuits. These circuits are discussed in
more detail in the following paragraphs.
Source circuits
The Model 2510 source is a digitally controlled, class D power amplifier with the output
stage in an H-bridge configuration. U127 is a 16-bit DAC that controls the pulse-width modu-
lator U110. The H-drive IC, U107, switches the four output FETs, Q107 - Q110. Output filter-
ing is provided by L106, L107, L115, and associated components. Control information for the
DAC and H-drive circuit is fed through serial-to-parallel converter U143.
The source amplitude voltage is controlled by varying the duty cycle of the pulse-width
modulator and, ultimately, the output stage with the digital control information fed to the DAC
and the serial-to-parallel converter. For example, with a duty cycle of 50%, the output is 2.5V.
The hardware current limit circuit consists of R102, U105, U132, and associated compo-
nents. The output stage current that flows through R102 develops a voltage that is amplified by
U105 and compared with a programmed current limit in 10-bit DAC U132. If the current value
exceeds the pre-programmed limit, the H-drive IC is disabled, turning off the output stage.
Class D Amplifier
Figure 4-3 shows a simplified schematic of the class D amplifier output stage. The H_DAC
converts control information from the processor into an analog signal that controls the pulse-
width modulator (PWM) through the H-bridge control. The IP_DAC converts current limit
control information from the processor and forms the BRIDGE OFF signal that turns off the
output stage in an over-current condition.
