7B53A/7B53AN OPTION 5

CIRCUIT

 

DESCRIPTION

A

 

composite 

video signal from 0.1 volt peak to 

peak to 4 

volts 

peak

 to peak must be supplied to P900 (COMPOSITE 

VIDEO IN) connector to

 obtain the

 required triggers from 

the

 main

 frame instrument. From

 TP900 the composite 

video

 signal passes through a clipping

 circuit composed of 

emitter

 follower Q904, clipping amplifier Q90.8 and associ­

ated

 circuitry. The

 clipping circuit, whose clipping level is 

set by

 R914 (CLIPPING LEVEL), clips only the video from 

the 

composite 

video signal.

From

 the clipping circuit the

 remaining pulses of the 

composite

 video signal are amplified by Q920. The negative 

(line or horizontal sync) pulses

 present at the collector of 

Q920

 

pass through 

CR921

 and

 C920 to P902 and P903. 

When

 the Main Triggering Amplifier SOURCE switch is set 

to TV

 

LINE, the

 negative (line or horizontal sync) pulses 

are 

available in main 

trigger or 

delayed 

trigger.

The positive 

(field

 or

 vertical sync)

 pulses present at the 

collector

 ,of

 Q920 cannot pass through

 CR921; however, 

they

 and

 the negative (line or horizontal sync) pulses will 

pass through CR918 to the base of Q924. The

 negative 

pulses

 will pass through

 CR918 since, during the greater 

percentage

 of their duty cycle, the line

 or horizontal sync 

pulses

 are positive and will 

appear

 to CR918

 as positive 

pulses.

The 

line 

or

 horizontal sync pulses are kept from getting 

through

 Q924 by the RC

 network of C926 and R926. 

During 

the line or horizontal sync 

pulse time, Q924 is kept 

cut off 

by the

 bias provided by C926. The charge across 

C926 is kept 

high by

 the high repetition rate of the line or 

horizontal sync pulses.

During

 

the

 field

 or

 vertical sync pulse interval, C926 

biases

 Q924 to cutoff only part of the

 time due to the 

relatively low

 repetition rate of the field or vertical sync 

pulses. 

The 

time

 that

 Q924 is allowed to conduct is such 

that 

every 

other 

field

 or

 vertical sync pulse will be 

amplified

 by

 Q924. The negative field

 or vertical trigger 

pulses present

 at the 

collector of Q924 are supplied through 

emitter

 follower Q932

 and C932 to P901 (FIELD

 RATE) 

connector 

and to

 the TV FIELD pushbutton. The field or 

vertical

 trigger pulse group are available constantly at P901 

for

 the Main 

Triggering 

Amplifier only.

C924, located

 in the collector circuit of

 Q924 and the 

base 

circuit 

of Q932,

 serves to filter out any line or 

horizontal sync pulses

 which

 may still be present. CR932 

sets 

the bias 

on Q932.
