Quick Start
One of the first things you will want to do with your power supply is to become
acquainted with its front panel. Written procedures in this chapter prepare the
power supply for use and familiarize you with most front-panel operations.
The power supply is shipped from the factory configured in the front-panel
operation mode. At power-on, the power supply is automatically set to
operate in the front-panel operation mode. When in this mode, the front-
panel keys can be used. When the power supply is in remote operation mode,
you can return to front-panel operation mode at any time by pressing the
key if you did not previously send the front-panel lockout command.
A change between front-panel and remote operation modes will not result
in a change in the output parameters.
The power supply has two output ranges of 15V/7A or 30V/4A. This feature
allows more voltage at a lower current or more current at a lower voltage.
The desired output range is selected from the front panel or over the remote
interfaces. The 15V or 30V annunciator indicates the presently selected
range.
When you press the key (the Limit annunciator blinks), the
display of the power supply goes to the limit mode and the present limit
values will be displayed. In this mode, you can also observe the change of
the limit values when adjusting the knob. If you press the
key again or let the display time-out after several seconds, the power supply
will return the display to the meter mode (the Limit annunciator turns off).
In this mode, the actual output voltage and current will be displayed.
The outputs of the power supply can be enabled or disabled from the front
panel using the key. When the output is off, the OFF
annunciator turns on and the output is disabled.
The display provides the present operating status of the power supply with
annunciators and also informs the user of error codes. For example, the
power supply is operating in CV mode in the 15V/7A range and controlled
from the front panel, then the CV and +15V annunciators will turn on. If,
however, the power supply is remotely controlled, the Rmt annunciator will
also turn on, and when the power supply is being addressed over GPIB
interface, the Adrs annunciator will turn on. see Display Annunciators, on
page 6 for more information.

The following steps help you verify that the power supply is ready for use.
1 Check the list of supplied items.
Verify that you have received the following items with your power supply. If
anything is missing, contact your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office.
One appropriate power cord for your location.
One User's Guide.
This Service Guide.
Certificate of Calibration.
2 Verify that the correct power-line voltage setting is selected and that
the correct power-line fuse is installed.
The line voltage is set to 100, 115 or 230 Vac from the factory according to the
input power option selected when you ordered the power supply. Change the
voltage setting if it is not correct for your location (see the next page for
detailed information). For 100 or 115 Vac operation, the correct fuse is 4 AT
(Agilent part number 2110-0996) and for 230 Vac operation, the correct fuse is
2.5 AT (Agilent part number 2110-0999).
3 Connect the power cord and turn on the power supply.
A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn on the power supply.
The front-panel display will light up while the power supply performs its
power-on self- test. After performing the self-test, the power supply will go into
the power-on / reset state; all outputs are disabled (the OFF annunciator turns
on); the 15V/7A rage is selected (the +15V annunciator turns on); the knob is
selected for voltage control. Notice that the OVP and OCP annunciators also
turn on.
4 Enable the outputs.
Press the key to enable the outputs. The OFF annunciator
turns off and the 15V, OVP, OCP and CV annunciators are lit. The blinking digit
can be adjusted by turning the knob. Notice that the display is in the meter

To Store and Recall the Instrument State
32
You can store up to three different operating states in non-volatile memory.
This also enables you to recall the entire instrument with just a few key presses
from the front panel.
The memory locations are supplied with the reset state from the factory for
front panel operation. Refer to the description of *RST command, starting on
page 94 in the Users Guide for more information.
The following steps show you how to store and recall an operating state.
1 Set up the power supply for the desired operating state.
The storage feature "remembers" the output range selection, the limit value
settings of voltage and current, output on/off state , OVP and OCP on/off state,
and OVP and OCP trip levels.
2 Turn on the storage mode.
Three memory locations (numbered 1, 2, and 3) are available to store the
operating states. The operating states are stored in non-volatile memory and
are remembered when being recalled.
This message appears on the display for approximately 3 seconds.

To Program Overvoltage Protection
34
Overvoltage protection guards the load against output voltages that reach a
specified value greater than the programmed protection level. It is
accomplished by shorting the output via an internal SCR when the trip level is
set to equal or greater than 3 volts, or by progamming the output to 1 volt when
the trip level is set to less than 3 volts.
The following steps show how to set the OVP trip level, how to check OVP
operation and how to clear overvoltage condition.

Checking OVP Operation
To check OVP operation, raise the output voltage to near the trip point. Then
very gradually increase the output by turning the knob until the OVP circuit
trips. This will cause the power supply output to drop to near zero. The OVP
annunciator is blinking and the CC annunicator turns on. The "OVP TRIPPED"
message also appears on the display.
Clearing the Overvoltage Condition
When the OVP circuit trips (the "OVP TRIPPED" message is shown on the
display), the OVP annunicator blinks. When it was caused by external voltage
source such as a battery, disconnect it first. The following steps show how to
clear the overvoltage conditions and get back to normal mode operation. In

Closed-Case Electronic Calibration The power supply features closed-
case electronic calibration since no internal mechanical adjustments are
required for normal calibration. The power supply calculates correction
factors based upon the input reference value you enter. The new correction
factors are stored in non-volatile memory until the next calibration adjustment
is performed. (Non-volatile memory does not change when power has been off
or after a remote interface reset.)
Agilent Technologies Calibration Services
When your power supply is due for calibration, contact your local Agilent
Technologies Service Center for a low-cost calibration. The Agilent E3632A
power supply is supported on calibration processes which allow Agilent
Technologies to provide this service at competitive prices.
Calibration Interval
The power supply should be calibrated on a regular interval determined by the
accuracy requirements of your application. A 1-year interval is adequate for
most applications. Agilent Technologies does not recommend extending
calibration intervals beyond 1 year for any application. Agilent Technologies
recommends that complete re-adjustment should always be performed at the
calibration interval. This will increase your confidence that the Agilent E3632A
will remain within specification for the next calibration interval. This criteria
for re-adjustment provides the best long-term stability.
Automating Calibration Procedures
44
Automating Calibration Procedures
You can automate the complete verification procedures outlined in this chapter
if you have access to programmable test equipment. You can program the
instrument configurations specified for each test over the remote interface.
You can then enter readback verification data into a test program and compare
the results to the appropriate test limit values.
You can also enter calibration constants from the remote interface. Remote
operation is similar to the local front-panel procedure. You can use a computer
to perform the adjustment by first selecting the required setup. The calibration
value is sent to the power supply and then the calibration is initiated over the
remote interface. The power supply must be unsecured prior to initiating the
calibration procedure. An Agilent BASIC program for calibration over the GPIB
interface is listed at the end of this chapter.
For further details on programming the power supply, see chapters 3 and 4 in
the Agilent E3632A User's Guide.

Test Considerations
To ensure proper instrument operation, verify that you have selected the
correct power-line voltage prior to attempting any test procedure in this
chapter. page 24 for more information.
For optimum performance verification, all test procedures should comply with
the following recommendations.
Assure that the calibration ambient temperature is stable and between 20C
and 30C.
Assure ambient relative humidity is less than 80%.
Allow a 1-hour warm-up period before verification or calibration.
Keep cables as short as possible, consistent with the impedance
requirements.
C a u t i o n The tests should be performed by qualified personnel. During performance
verification tests, hazardous voltages may be present at the outputs of the
power supply.
Performance Verification Tests
46
The performance verification tests use the power supply's specifications listed
in chapter 1, "Specifications", starting on page 13.
You can perform two different levels of performance verification tests:
Self-Test A series of internal verification tests that provide high
confidence that the power supply is operational.
Performance Verification Tests These tests can be used to verify the
power supply's specifications following repairs to specific circuits.
Self-Test
A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn on the power supply.
This limited test assures you that the power supply is operational.
The complete self-test is enabled by pressing the key (actually any
front panel keys except the key) and the power-line switch
simultaneously and then continuing to press the key for 5 seconds.
The complete self-test will be finished in 2 more seconds.
You can also perform a self-test from the remote interface (see chapter 3 in
the Agilent E3632A User's Guide).
If the self-test is successful, "PASS" is displayed on the front panel.
If the self-test fails, "FAIL" is displayed and the ERROR annunciator turns
on. If repair is required, see chapter 5, "Service", starting on page 89, for
further details.
If self-test passes, you have a high confidence that the power supply is
operational.
These tests can be used to verify the power supply's specifications following
repairs to specific circuits. The following sections explain all verification
procedures in detail. All of the performance test specifications are shown in
each test.

Setup for Most Tests
Most tests are performed at the front terminals as shown in the following
figure. Measure the dc voltage directly at the (+) and (-) terminals on the front
panel.
Figure 3-1. Performance Verification Test Setup
Electronic Load
Many of the test procedures require the use of a variable load resistor capable
of dissipating the required power. Using a variable load resistor requires that
switches be used to connect, disconnect, and short the load resistor. An
electronic load, if available, can be used in place of a variable load resistor and
switches. The electronic load is considerably easier to use than load resistors.
It eliminates the need for connecting resistors or rheostats in parallel to handle
power, it is much more stable than carbon-pile load, and it makes easy work
of switching between load conditions as is required for the load regulation and
load transient response tests. Substitution of the electronic load requires minor
changes to the test procedures in this chapter.
48
General Measurement Techniques
To achieve best results when measuring load regulation, peak to peak voltage,
and transient response time of the power supply, measuring devices must be
connected through the hole in the neck of the binding post at (A) while the
load resistor is plugged into the front of the output terminals at (B). A
measurement made across the load includes the impedance of the leads to the
load. The impedance of the load leads can easily be several orders of the
magnitude greater than the power supply impedance and thus invalidate the
measurement. To avoid mutual coupling effects, each measuring device must
be connected directly to the output terminals by separate pairs of leads.
Front Panel Terminal Connections (Side View)
Current-Monitoring Resistor
To eliminate output current measurement error caused by the voltage drops
in the leads and connections, connect the current monitoring resistor between
the (-) output terminal and the load as a four-terminal device. Connect the
current-monitoring leads inside the load-lead connections directly at the
monitoring points on the resistor element (see R
M
in Figure 3-1).
Programming
Most performance tests can be performed only from the front panel. However,
an GPIB or RS-232 controller is required to perform the voltage and current
programming accuracy and readback accuracy tests.
The test procedures are written assuming that you know how to program the
power supply either from the front panel or from an GPIB or RS-232 controller.
Complete instructions on front panel and remote programming are given in the
Agi lent E3632A User's Gui de.
Constant Voltage (CV) Verifications

Constant Voltage Test Setup
If more than one meter or a meter and an oscilloscope are used, connect each
to the (+) and (-) terminals by a separate pair of leads to avoid mutual coupling
effects. Use coaxial cable or shielded 2-wire cable to avoid noise pick-up on
the test leads.
Voltage Programming and Readback Accuracy
This test verifies that the voltage programming and GPIB or RS-232 readback
functions are within specifications. Note that the readback values over the
remote interface should be identical to those displayed on the front panel.
You should program the power supply over the remote interface for this test
to avoid round off errors.

voltage reading on the digital voltmeter. The difference between the digital
voltmeter readings in steps (5) and (6) is the CV line regulation. The difference
of the readings should be within the limit of 5mV.

4 Divide the reading on the rms voltmeter by the load resistance to obtain rms
current. The readings should be within the limit of 2mA.
Common Mode Current Noise
The common mode current is that ac current component which exists between
the output or output lines and chassis ground. Common mode noise can be a
problem for very sensitive circuitry that is referenced to earth ground. When
a circuit is referenced to earth ground, a low level line-related ac current will
flow from the output terminals to earth ground. Any impendance to earth
ground will create a voltage drop equal to the output current flow multiplied
by the impendance.

Calibration Security Code
58
This feature allows you to enter a security code (electronic key) to prevent
accidental or unauthorized calibrations of the power supply. When you first
receive your power supply, it is secured. Before you can calibrate the power
supply, you must unsecure it by entering the correct security code. A
procedure to unsecure the power supply is given on the following page.
The security code is set to "HP003632" when the power supply is shipped
from the factory. The security code is stored in non-volatile memory, and
does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
To secure the power supply from the remote interface, the security code
may contain up to 12 alphanumeric characters as shown below. The first
character must be a letter, but the remaining characters can be letters or
numbers. You do not have to use all 12 characters but the first character
must always be a letter.
A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (12 characters)
To secure the power supply from the remote interface so that it can be
unsecured from the front panel, use the eight-character format shown
below. The first two characters must be "H P" and the remaining characters
must be numbers. Only the last six characters are recognized from the front
panel, but all eight characters are required. To unsecure the power supply
from the front panel, omit the "H P" and enter the remaining numbers as
shown on the following pages.
H P _ _ _ _ _ _ (8 characters)
If you forget your security code, you can disable the security feature by
adding a jumper inside the power supply, and then entering a new code. See
the procedure on page 60.

To Unsecure the Power Supply for Calibration
The power supply can use a calibration security code to prevent unauthorized
or accidental calibration. This procedure shows you how to unsecure the
power supply for calibration from the front panel.
1 Turn on the front-panel calibration mode.
Turn on the calibration mode by pressing the "Calibrate" key while
simultaneously turning on the power supply then continue to hold the
"Calibrate" key for about 5 seconds until a beep is heard.
If the power supply is secured, you will see the above message from the front
panel for approximately one second. The "CAL MODE'' message is then
displayed on the front panel.
2 Move to the security code by pressing the "Secure" key.
3 Enter the security code using the knob and resolution selection keys.
The security code is set to "Agilent Technologies003632" when the power
supply is shipped from the factory. The security code is stored in non-volatile
memory and does not change when the power has been off or after a remote
interface reset.
To enter the security code from the front panel, enter only the last six digits.
To enter the security code from the remote interface, you may enter up to 12
characters.
Use the resolution selection keys to move left or right between digits. Use the
knob to change the digits. Notice that the security code may be different if the
security code has been changed from the default setting.

4 Unsecure the power supply.
The power supply is unsecured when you press the key. You will see
the above message from the front panel for one second. The "CAL MODE"
message is displayed on the front panel after above message.
5 Turn off the calibration mode.
Turn off the power supply to exit the calibration mode.
To Unsecure the Power Supply Without the Security Code
To unsecure the power supply without the correct security code (when you
forget the security code), follow the steps below. See "Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) Precautions" in chapter 5 before beginning this procedure.
1 Disconnect the power cord and all load connections from front terminals.
2 Remove the instrument cover. Refer to the disassembly drawing on page 119.
3 Connect the power cord and turn on the calibration mode by pressing the
"Calibrate" key while simultaneously turning on the power supply then
continue to hold the "Calibrate" key for about 5 seconds until a beep is heard.
Be careful not to touch the power line connections.
4 Apply a short between the two exposed metal pads on JP5 (located near U13).
The JP5 is outlined with a circle on the component locator drawing on page 120.
5 While maintaining the short, move to the security code and enter any unsecure
code in the calibration mode. The power supply is now unsecured.
6 Remove the short at JP5. (An error occurs if not removed.)
7 Turn off and reassemble the power supply.
Now you can enter a new security code. Be sure you take note of the new
security code.

Calibration Count
61
3
Calibration Count
The calibration count feature provides an independent "serialization" of your
calibrations. You can determine the number of times that your power supply
has been calibrated. By monitoring the calibration count, you can determine
whether an unauthorized calibration has been performed. Since the value
increments by one for each calibration parameter (see Table 3-2 on the next
page), a complete calibration increases the value by 5 counts.
The calibration count is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change
when power has been off or after a remote interface reset. Your power
supply was calibrated before it left the factory. When you receive the power
supply, read the calibration count to determine its value.
The calibration count increments up to a maximum of 32,767 after which it
wraps around to 0. No way is provided to program or reset the calibration
count.
Calibration Message
You can use the calibration message feature to record calibration information
about your power supply. For example, you can store such information as the
last calibration date, the next calibration due date, the power supply's serial
number, or even the name and phone number of the person to contact for a
new calibration.
You can record and read information in the calibration message from the
remote interface only.
The calibration message may contain up to 40 characters.
The calibration message is stored in non-volatile memory and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
General Calibration/Adjustment Procedure
62
The calibration procedures from the front panel are described in this section.
For voltage calibration, disconnect all loads from the power supply and
connect a DVM across the output terminals. For current calibration,
disconnect all loads from the power supply, connect an appropriate current
monitoring resistor (0.019) across the output terminals, and connect a DVM
across the terminals of the monitoring resistor.
Note that the power supply should be calibrated after 1-hour warm-up with
no load connected.
The following table shows calibration parameters and points which should be
used to calibrate the output voltage and current.
Table 3-2. Parameters for Calibration
N o t e You can terminate any CAL SETUP without changing its calibration
constants by turning off power.
N o t e Perform the voltage calibration prior to the OVP calibration and the current
calibration prior to the OCP calibration.

Calibration Program
This section contains an Agilent BASIC program for calibration over the GPIB
interface. This program makes software adjustments to the E3632A power
supply using a current shunt and a digital mutimeter which is connected to the
controller. In this program a 0.01 ohm current shunt is used. Be sure to change
the value of the variable "Current_shunt" to the value of the current shunt used
and the GPIB address for the power supply and the digital voltmeter.

This chapter provides block diagram level descriptions of the power supply.
The descriptions provide a basic understanding of circuit operation and are
intended as an aid in troubleshooting. It is assumed in the following discussions
that you are familiar with the operating and programming instructions
presented in the E3632A User's Guide. Subjects covered include the following:

Block Diagram Overview

This discussion pertains to the block diagram on the next page. The power
supply's circuitry is divided into two major blocks: the floating circuitry and
the ground referenced circuitry. All power mesh and control circuits, display
circuit, and digital circuits are contained in the floating circuitry. This circuitry
also contains the power supply's main controller. The earth referenced
circuitry provides the interface between the user and the power supply.
The floating circuitry can be viewed in four pieces; the DAC system, the digital
logic section (floating logic), the power mesh and control section, and the front
panel (display and keyboard) section.
The floating logic receives digital signals from the earth-referenced logic and
the DAC converts them to analog signals which are sent to the power control
circuits in order to program the power supply's output voltage and current.
The power supply can also be commanded to send measurement and status
data back to the remote interface controller and/or the VFD (vacuum
fluorescent display) display on the front panel. The data is processed and sent
back via the floating logic and earth-referenced logic.
The power mesh and control circuits contains voltage and current control
circuits which allows the power supply to operate in either the constant voltage
(CV) or constant current (CC) mode. The control circuits compare the power
supply's output voltage or current with the programmed value and generates
a control signal which varies the conduction of the series pass transistor to
raise or lower the output as required.
The front panel circuits consist of VFD control, display high voltage drivers,
and keyboard scanning. Communication between the front panel and floating
logic circuits is accomplished through a 4-wire bi-directional serial interface.
The earth referenced circuitry uses a controller configured as a slave to the
main controller. This controller establishes external I/O communication with
the main controller through a bi-directional, optically isolated, serial
communications link. The earth referenced controller controls low-level GPIB
(IEEE-488) and RS-232 interface operation.
Separate reference and bias supplies are provided for the floating and ground
reference circuitry. The front panel operates from the floating circuitry with
its logic common different from the main controller logic common.

AC Input and Bias Supplies

AC Input and Bias Supplies
Referring to the schematic shown on page 121 and 122, the ac mains are
connected by a fused power module. This module incorporates the functions
of mains connection, fusing, and line voltage selection (100/115/230 Vac). The
line voltage selection function of the module selects which primary winding
of power transformer is energized. The transformer secondary windings are
connected to the main pc board through connectors.
The bias supplies are consists of four sections; +5 Vdc and -5.1 Vdc for the
power circuits and floating logic; 17.4 Vdc for the display; and +5 Vdc for the
earth referenced logic. Power-on reset signals are provided by the +5 Vdc
supply of the floating logic.
The 17.4 Vdc for the display circuits are produced by rectifier CR4, filter
capacitors C19 and C24, and voltage regulators U12 and U16. A separate
winding of transformer provides a center tapped 6 Vrms filament supply for
the display.
The floating +5 Vdc is produced from the separate winding of transformer. The
+5_REF signal is derived from +15 Vdc supply and the TURN_ON RESET signal
is derived from +5 Vdc supply. The FAN FAIL signal is asserted when the fan
current through R15 is not detected. The TURN_ON RESET signal holds the
main controller and other logic in a reset state until the +5 Vdc logic power is
fully operational. This signal is generally active only following application of
line power to the instrument.
The +5V dc earth referenced supply is produced by rectifier CR7, filter
capacitor C21, and regulator U10. The GPIB (IEEE-488) and RS-232 computer
interfaces are powered from this supply.
Floating Logic
82
Floating Logic
Referring to the schematic shown on page 124, the floating common logic
controls operation of the entire instrument. All output functions and bus
command interpretation is performed in the main controller U17. The front
panel and the earth referenced logic operate as slaves to U17. The floating
common logic is comprised of the main controller U17, custom gate array U16,
the program ROM U13, RAM U14, calibration EEPROM U15, and the 12 MHz
clock oscillator. Non-volatile EEPROM U15 stores calibration constants,
calibration secure code, and calibration count, and store/recall variables.
Power-on reset is provided to the main controller by the voltage regulator U11.
The main controller U17 is a 16-bit micro controller. It controls such features
as receive and transmit serial port, timer/counter ports, an 8-bit pulse width
modulated DAC port, and selectable input 10-bit successive approximation a-
to-d convert ports. A conventional address/data bus is used to transfer data
between the main controller and external ROM and RAM. When the address
latch enable (ALE) signal goes high, address data is present on the address/
data bus. ASIC U18 latches the address data and decodes the correct chip
enable (low true) for external ROM and RAM accesses and for read/write
accesses to the internal registers of U18. The system memory map is shown
below.
Program ROM U13 contains four 64k x 8 data banks of data. Banks are selected
by controlling A16 and A17 ROM address bits directly from the main controller
port bits.
Custom gate array U18 performs address latching and memory map decoding
functions as discussed above. In addition, U18 contains a variety of internal
read/write registers. The read (XRD) and write (XWR) signals transfer data out
of and into U18 when it is addressed. There are four internal registers in U18:
an internal configuration register, an 8 bit counter register, a serial transmit/
receive register, and an internal status register.
The counter register is used to capture the ADC slope count at the COMP input.
The COMP input functions as both a clocked comparator and the slope counter
input for the ADC. In both cases the counter register captures the lower 8 bits
of a 24-bit counter. The upper 16 bits of the count are captured by the SYNC
input to U17.

The serial register is used to send and receive serial data bytes from the main
controller to the DAC system, or to communicate with the front panel
controller. The serial register is multiplexed to these two circuits. The
transmission rate is selected to 1.5 M bits/second for the DAC system and 93.75
k bits/second for communication with the front panel controller. The general
serial interface is a 3-bit interface as shown below.
Serial data is received simultaneously as serial data is clocked out. Front panel
data is exchanged in both directions whenever a byte is sent from U18. The
input data of DAC is strobed to outputs by U17 signal SERSTB. Interrupts from
the front panel are detected by U18 and signaled to the CHINT. The main
controller FPINT signals the front panel controller that U18 has data to send.
The power supply's calibration data are stored in a 256 x 16 bit non-volatile
electrically erasable ROM U15. This non-volatile ROM read/write data is
accessed by a 4-bit serial protocol controlled by U17.
The main controller has an on-chip 10-bit successive approximation ADC. The
FLASH input is used to sample the residual charge on the main integrating ADC
output of U26.
Port bits are also configured to measure the input power line frequency
(LSENSE). Frequencies from 55 Hz to 66 Hz are measured as 60 Hz. All other
line input frequencies are assumed to be 50 Hz.
The main controller communicates with the earth referenced controller U4
through an optically isolated (U6 and U7) asynchronous serial link. Data is sent
in an 11-bit frame at a rate of 187.5 k bits/ second. When the RS-232 interface
is selected, data is sent across the isolated link at 93.75 k bits/second. The 11-
bit data frame is configured for one start bit, eight data bits, one control bit,
and one stop bit.

D-to-A Converter

D-to-A Converter
Referring to the schematic shown on page 123, all reference voltages of power
circuits are derived from the internal voltage reference of system DAC U21.
The system DAC track/hold amplifier outputs are used to provide controllable
reference voltages to three power circuits. The system DAC is programmed
and responds to the main controller via internal 3-wire serial data bus SERCLK,
SERRBK, and SERSTB. The system DAC is mutiplexed to 6 track/hold
amplifiers through U27. Each track/hold amplifier is refreshed approximately
every 1 msec to maintain its output setting. Changes to track/hold amplifier
outputs are accomplished by dwelling on that position for an extended period.
A-to-D Converter
85
4
A-to-D Converter
Referring to the schematic shown on page 123, the analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) is used to change dc voltages into digital information. The circuitry
consists of an integrator amplifier (U26 and U29), current steering switch U33,
resistors (R70, R71, and R96), voltage reference U32, ADC controller U18, and
residue ADC U17.
The ADC method used by the Agilent E3632A is called multislope III.
Multislope III is a charge balancing continuously integrating analog-to-digital
converter. The input voltage continuously forces charge onto the integrator
capacitors C49 and C51 through R71.
Switch U33 steers fixed positive or negative reference currents onto the
integrator capacitors to cancel, or balance the accumulated input charge. The
level shifted (R97 and R98) output of the integrator is checked every 2.66 sec
by the U18 COMP input. Logic state machines in U18 control the U33 current
steering to continuously seek an approximate 2.5 V level on the integrator
amplifier output, FLASH. If the ADC input voltage is between 15 V, the
integrator output (FLASH) will remain within the 0 V to 5 V range of the U17
on-chip ADC. The U17 ADC input (FLASH) is clamped to 0 V or 5 V by R53 and
CR16 to protect U17.
The integrator amplifier is formed by U26 and U29. Resistors R61 and R62
affect the amplifier stability. Amplifier oscillation may occur if their values are
incorrect. Amplifier U29 improves the offset voltage characteristics of
integrator amplifier U26.
Each analog-to-digital conversion occurs continuously. The ADC starts by
clearing the integrator slope count in U18. At the end of the integration period,
the slope count is latched. The slope count provides the most significant bits
of the input voltage conversion. The least significant bits are converted by the
on-chip ADC of U17.
U39 provides a stable +5 V reference voltage for ADC. U32A amplifies the
voltage reference to +10 V while amplifier U32B inverts the +10 V reference to
-10 V. The reference voltage forces precision slope currents for the integrating
ADC through R70 and R96.
Power Mesh and Control
86
Refer to the schematics shown on page 121.
For the power mesh and control circuit, a preregulator is added ahead of the
series pass transistor to minimize the power dissipated in the series pass
transistor by controlling the dc level across the input filter capacitor,
depending on the output voltage.
To achieve this, tap switching is accomplished by a SCR and one bridge diode
and the SCR control circuit in each power circuit; CR14, CR17, CR18, CR19,
and CR11. By turning on or off the SCR, these circuits allow the input
capacitors (C36, C65, and C46) to charge to one of two discrete voltage levels,
depending on the output voltage required. When the SCR is not fired, the bridge
diode conducts and the low voltage of two discrete voltage levels is developed
across the input filter capacitors.
The SCR control circuit determines whether SCR is to be fired by monitoring
the output voltage and comparing this value against internally derived
reference levels.
The series pass transistor is part of a feedback loop which consists of the driver
and the Constant Voltage/Constant Current error amplifier. The feedback loop
provides "fine and fast" regulation of the output while the preregulator
feedback loop handles large, relatively slow, regulation demands.
The series pass transistor is made to alter its conduction to maintain a constant
output voltage or current. The voltage developed across the current sampling
resistors is the input to the constant current error amplifier. The constant
voltage error amplifier obtains its input from differential amplifier which
senses the output voltage. Any changes in output voltage or current are
detected and amplified by the constant voltage or constant current error circuit
and applied to the series pass transistor in the correct phase and amplitude to
counteract the change in output voltage or current.
87
4
Two error amplifiers are included in a CV/CC supply, one for controlling output
voltage, the other for controlling output current. Since the constant voltage
amplifier tends to achieve zero output impedance and alters the output current
whenever the load resistance changes, while the constant current amplifier
causes the output impedance to be infinite and changes the output voltage in
response to any load resistance change, it is obvious that the two amplifiers
can not operate simultaneously. For any given value of load resistance, the
power supply must act either as a constant voltage source or as a constant
current source - it can not be both; transfer between these two modes is
accomplished at a value of load resistance equal to the ratio of the output
voltage control setting to the output current control setting.
Full protection against any overload condition is inherent in the Constant
Voltage/Constant Current design principle since there is not any load condition
that can cause an output which lies outside the operating region. For either
constant voltage or constant current operation, the proper choice of front
panel voltage and current limit settings insures optimum protection for the
load device as well as full protection for the power supply.
The diodes connected across the output terminals in reverse polarity protect
the output electrolytic capacitor and the series pass transistors from the effects
of a reverse voltage applied across the output terminals.
Earth-Referenced Logic
88
Earth-Referenced Logic
Referring to the schematic shown on page 125, the earth referenced logic
circuits schematic provides all rear panel input/output capability.
Microprocessor U4 handles GPIB (IEEE-488) control through bus interface
chip U3 and bus receiver/driver chips U1 and U2. The RS-232 interface is also
controlled through microprocessor U4. RS-232 transceiver chip U17 provides
the required level shifting to approximate 9 volt logic levels through on-chip
charge-pump power supplies using C5 and C15. Communication between the
earth referenced logic interface circuits and the floating logic is accomplished
through an optically-isolated bi-directional serial interface. Isolator U7 couples
data from U4 to processor U17. Isolator U6 couples data from U17 to
microprocessor U4.
Front Panel
Referring to the schematic shown on page 127, the front panel circuits consist
of vacuum fluorescent display control, display high voltage drivers, and
keyboard scanning. Communication between the front panel and floating logic
circuits is accomplished through a 4-wire bi-directional serial interface. The
main controller U17 can cause a hardware reset to front-panel controller by
signal IGFPRES. The front panel logic operates from -12.4 volts (logic 1) and -
17.4 volts (logic 0). The front panel logic high supply (-12.4 volts) is produced
by the -17.4 volts bias supply and the voltage regulator U2 on the front panel
board. The four serial communication signals are level shifted by the
comparator U8 from the floating logic 0 V to 5 V levels to the -17.4 V to -12.4 V
levels present on the front panel assembly. U6 acts as the serial shift register
interface for the front-panel controller U7 on the front panel board.
Display anode and grid voltages are +17.4 volts for an "on" segment and -17.4
volts for an "off" segment. The -11.2 V cathode bias for the display is provided
by filament winding center tap bias circuit VR1, R18, and C25 on the main
board. Keyboard scanning is accomplished through a conventional scanned
row-column key matrix. Keys are scanned by outputing data at front-panel
controller U7 port pins P0.0 through P0.3 to poll each key column for a key
press. Column read-back data are read by the microprocessor at port pins P1.0
through P1.3 for decoding and communication to the floating logic circuits.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
94
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Almost all electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) during handling. Component damage can occur at electrostatic
discharge voltages as low as 50 volts.
The following guidelines will help prevent ESD damage when serving the
power supply or any electronic device.
Disassemble instruments only in a static-free work area.
Use a conductive work area to dissipate static charge.
Use a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge accumulation.
Minimize handling.
Keep replacement parts in original static-free packaging.
Remove all plastic, styrofoam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating
materials from the immediate work area.
Use only anti-static solder suckers.
Surface Mount Repair
Surface mount components should only be removed using soldering irons or
disordering stations expressly designed for surface mount components. Use
of conventional solder removal equipment will almost always result in
permanent damage to the printed circuit board and will void your Agilent
Technologies factory warranty.
To Replace the Power-Line Fuse
The power-line fuse is located within the power supply's fuse-holder assembly
on the rear panel (see on page 24). For 100 or 115 Vac operation, you must use
a 4 AT slow-blow fuse (Agilent part number 2110-0996). For 230 Vac operation,
you must use a 2.5 AT slow-blow fuse (Agilent part number 2110-0999).

To Disconnect the Output Using an External Relay
95
5
To Disconnect the Output Using an External Relay
When the output of the E3632A is turned off, it is implemented by setting the
output to 0 volts and 0.02 amps. This gives a zero output voltage without
actually disconnecting the output. To disconnect the output, an external relay
must be connected between the output and the load. A TTL signal of either low
true or high true is provided to control an external relay. This signal can only
be controlled with the remote command OUTPut:RELay {OFF|ON}. The TTL
output is available on the RS-232 connector pin 1 and pin 9.
When the OUTPut:RELay state is "ON", the TTL output of pin 1 is high (4.5 V)
and pin 9 is low (0.5 V). The levels are reversed when the OUTPut:RELay state
is "OFF".
N o t e TTL output of pin 1 or pin 9 of the RS-232 connector is available only after
installing two jumpers inside the power supply. See below for more
information.
N o t e Do not use the RS-232 interface if you have configured the power supply to
output relay control signals. Internal components on the RS-232 circuitry
may be damaged.
Installation Procedure
The assembly drawings and schematics are located in chapter 8, "Schematics".
1 Remove the front and rear bumpers and take off the cover (See the mechanical
disassembly drawing on page 119).
2 Install JP3 and JP4 located adjacent to the connector P5 (The JP3 and JP4 are
outlined with a circle in the component locator diagram on page 120). A bare
wire may be used.
3 Reassemble the power supply.

Troubleshooting Hints
96
This section provides a brief check list of common failures. Before
troubleshooting or repairing the power supply, make sure that the failure is in
the instrument rather than any external connections. Also make sure that the
instrument is accurately calibrated. The power supply's circuits allow
troubleshooting and repair with basic equipment such as a digit multimeter
and a 100 MHz oscilloscope.
C a u t i o n This instrument contains CMOS integrated circuits which are susceptible
to failure due to electrostatic discharge. Refer to the ``Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) Precautions'' section earlier in this chapter for further handling
precautions.
Unit is Inoperative
Verify that the ac power cord is connected to the power supply.
Verify that the front-panel power switch is depressed.
Verify that the power-line fuse is installed:
Use the 4 AT, 250 V fuse for 100 or 115 Vac operation..
Use the 2.5 AT, 250 V fuse for 230 Vac operation..
Verify the power-line voltage setting.
Unit Reports Errors 740 to 750
These errors may be produced if you accidentally turn off power the unit during
a calibration or while changing a non-volatile state of the instrument.
Recalibration or resetting the state should clear the error. If the error persists,
a hardware failure may have occurred.
Unit Fails Self-Test
Verify that the correct power-line voltage setting is selected. Also, ensure that
all terminal connections are removed while the self-test is performed. Failure
of the DAC U21 on the top board will cause many self-test failures.

Bias Supplies Problems
Check that the input to the voltage regulators of the bias supplies is at least 1
V greater than their output.
Circuit failures can cause heavy loads of the bias supplies which may pull down
the regulator output voltages.
Check the voltages of bias supplies as tabulated below.
Table 5-1. Bias Supplies Voltages
Some circuits produce their own local bias supplies from the main bias
supplies. Be sure to check that these local bias supplies are active. In particular,
the ADC (analog-to-digital converter), ac input, and front panel sections have
local bias supplies. Always check that the power supplies are free of ac
oscillations using an oscilloscope. Failure of bias supplies will cause many self-
test failures.

Hold any front panel key except the "Error'' key for more than 5 seconds while
turning on the power to perform a complete self-test. The power supply beeps
when the test starts. The tests are performed in the order shown below.
601 Front Panel Does not respond The main controller U17 on the top board
attempts to establish serial communications with the front panel controller U7
on the front panel board. During this test, U7 turns on all display segments.
Communication must function in both directions for this test to pass. If this
error is detected during power-on self-test, the power supply will beep twice.
This error is only readable from the remote interface.
602 RAM read/write failed This test writes and reads a 55
h
and AA
h
checker
board pattern to each address of ram U14. Any incorrect readback will cause
a test failure. This error is only readable from the remote interface.
603 A/D sync stuck The main controller issues an A/D sync pulse to U17 and U18
to latch the value in the ADC slope counters. A failure is detected when a sync
interrupt is not recognized and subsequent time-out occurs.
604 A/D slope convergence failed The input amplifier is configured to the
measure zero (MZ) state in the 10 V range. This test checks whether the ADC
integrator produces nominally the same number of positive and negative slope
decisions (10%) during a 20 ms interval.
605 Cannot calibrate rundown gain This test checks the nominal gain between
integrating ADC and the U17 on-chip ADC. This error is reported if the
procedure can not run to completion due to a hardware failure.

606 Rundown gain out of range This test checks the nominal gain between the
integrating ADC and the U17 on-chip ADC. The nominal gain is checked to
10% tolerance.
607 Rundown too noisy This test checks the gain repeatability between the
integrating ADC and the U17 on-chip ADC. The gain test (606) is performed
eight times. Gain noise must be less that 64 lsb's of the U17 on-chip ADC.
608 Serial configuration readback failed This test re-sends the last 3 byte
serial configuration data to all the serial path (SERDAT, SERBCK, SERCLK).
The data is then clocked back into U18 on the top board and compared against
the original 3 bytes sent. A failure occurs if the data do not match. This tests
checks the serial data path through U22.
624 Unable to sense line frequency This test checks that the LSENCE logic
input U17 is togging. If no logic input detected, the power supply will assume
a 50 Hz line operation for all future measurements.
625 I/O processor did not respond This test checks that communications can
be established between U17 and U4 through the optically isolated (U6 and U7)
serial data link. Failure to establish communication in either direction will
generate an error. If this condition is detected at power-on self-test, the power
supply will beep and the error annunciator will be on.
626 I/O processor failed self-test This test causes the earth referenced
processor U4 to execute an internal, ram test. Failure will generate an error.
630 Fan test failed This test checks if the fan current is flowing. If the current
is not detected at power-on self-test, the power supply will beep and the error
annunciator will be on.Fan test fail could likely induce overtemperature
condition in the power supply.
631 System DAC test failed This test checks if the DAC hardware is functional.
The main controller U17 sends a reference voltage data to DAC and converts
the DAC output to digital data to see if the digital data is within a valid range.
632 Hardware test failed This test checks the the status of voltage and current
error amplifiers for the power circuit. If both amplifiers are not operational,
the power supply will beep and the error annunciator will be on.
