Power Designs model 2005 power supply

This old precision dc power source can teach timeless analog principles. pdf version
Power-Designs_model-2005_front.jpg
I found a beautiful old Power Designs 0-20V power supply at a local Silicon Valley auction. It did not regulate well, so I looked around for an old manual.
I could not find a manual online, but my pal Paul Grohe had a copy of the manual at his lab. I scanned it and did an OCR (optical character recognition) on the document. The manual is presented below.  Here is the pdf of the Power Designs model 2005 manual.

Turns out all it needed was some DeOxit for the switch contacts.
I was working at National Semiconductor at the time, So I walked around asking all sorts of smart people why my supply was broken. I showed them the factory schematic, which is near the end of the manual. I could see they felt uncomfortable, like I was putting them on the spot or testing them.

Then I asked a really smart person, my pal Bob Pease. He took a brief glance at the factory schematic and matter-of-factly declared "You will never understand this thing until you re-draw the schematic."

.
I redrew the basic schematic in Orcad using the fundamental schematic drawing rules: Inputs on the left, outputs on the right and higher voltage towards the top.  The cryptic Power designs schematic became clear at once.
Power_Designs_Model_2005_Schematic_redrawn.gif
.
Sure enough, once I drew just a rough overview if the schematic, it became obvious I had a problem in the switch array. The electronics were fine. Here is a pdf of my redrawn schematic. Here is a zip file of the OrCAD 9.3 Capture file. This goes to show the importance of a properly drawn schematic. That means inputs on the left and top, outputs on the right and bottom. Put positive voltages above grounds and common, and negative voltage below them. And don't try to show the pin-out of parts. This is the scheme of things, not the layout of things, That is a whole different document.

So here is the factory manual (pdf of a newer model):

New high-stability, low-noise silicon semiconductor devices and advanced solid-state circuit technology are the basis for this unusually stable voltage regulator. The improved performance of the Model 2005 permits dial readout of the output voltage to five places. Interpolation of the last place is provided by a potentiometer with a resolution of 10 microvolts.

Conventional, more complex chopper techniques for DC amplifier stabilization are avoided by maintaining critical amplifier stages and a specially processed zener diode voltage reference in a temperature-controlled oven. The design simplicity results in a low-cost unit, half the size and weight of comparable instrumentation.

PRECISION DC POWER SOURCE MODEL 2005
SECTION 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1-1. DESCRIPTION
The Model 2005 is a precision DC power source designed to supply an extremely stable 0 to 20 volt, 0 to 500 milliainpere output. The instrument combines the accuracy of a precision calibrator with the power capability of a general-purpose regulated supply.

Two dual, concentric decade switches provide a digital readout of the selected output voltage to within 0.1% +1 millivolt of the selected value. A 1-millivolt range, single-turn potentiometer permits interpolation of the last place. This potentiometer has a resolution of 10 microvolts.

A toggle switch selects the range of the dial readout; either from 0 to 10 volts, or from 10 to 20 volts. The output voltage of the supply may be remotely programmed with the same accuracy, using an external resistance. The supply also includes provisions for remote sensing of the output voltage at the load.

Compact and light, the power source is self-contained in a portable housing designed for bench use. The modular construction of the Model 2005 makes it suitable for rack mounting. Panel adapters are available for mounting one or two units in a standard 19-inch rack having a panel height of 5 1/4 inches.

SECTION 3
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

3-1. GENERAL
The Model 2005 is a highly accurate, series regulated, DC voltage source. Basically, it consists of a full-wave rectifier circuit, a series regulator circuit and a current limiting circuit.

The series regulator circuit is essentially an electronically variable resistance interposed between the unregulated source and the load. The resistance value is controlled by an amplifier which compares the source output voltage with a reference voltage. The amplifier adjusts the series resistance to reduce the error signal to zero.
move up a little to the right This is the end.
The reference voltage is generated by an internal auxiliary power source. The error signal resulting from the voltage comparison is amplified and applied through a driver stage to the series transistor to vary its effective resistance.

3-2. FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER OPERATION
The full-wave rectifier consists of diodes CR1 and CR2. Its output is applied through fuse F2 to series regulator transistor Q1. The output of the full-wave rectifier is filtered by capacitor C1.

3-3. SERIES REGULATOR OPERATION
The series regulator circuit consists of differential amplifier Q5, amplifiers Q4, Q6 and Q7; driver Q2 and series regulator Q1. The voltage reference for the differential amplifier is zener diode CR13. A constant current is maintained through CR13 by transistors Q9 and Q10 and zener diode CR11. These components are powered by an auxiliary 20-volt supply.

The constant voltage across CR13 is impressed across the base- emitter junction of one half of Q5. Potentiometer R12 is adjusted to bias the base-emitter junction of the input half of Q5 to the same potential. Zener diode CR10 provides a constant collector voltage for the input section of the differential amplifier. A constant current for this zoner diode is provided by CR22 and Q10, which are powered by an auxiliary 20 volt supply.

The differential amplifier, its voltage reference and the transistors which maintain a constant current through the voltage reference are located on oven board assembly A1. The oven maintains these components in a constant-temperature environment to provide highly stable operation.
move up a little to the right This is the end.
The input to the differential amplifier is applied from a voltage divider across the supply output. Any change in output voltage changes the bias on the differential amplifier and, consequently, changes the collector current on the output half of this stage. This changes the drive on amplifiers Q4, Q6, and. Q7. The changed output of Q7 changes the drive of Q2, and therefore of series regulator Qi. This change in drive on Q1 is in the correct direction to oppose any change in the supply output voltage.

For example, if the output voltage tends to increase, the forward bias on the input stage of the differential amplifier increases. This reduces the collector current of the output half of this stage, reducing the drive of amplifiers Q4, Q6, and Q7. The reduced collector current of Q7 lowers the forward bias of driver Q2. The reduced collector current of Q2 reduces the forward bias of series regulator Q1, increasing its effective resistance. The increased resistance of Q1 increases the voltage drop across it, reducing the output voltage.

3-4. CURRENT-LIMITING CIRCUIT
The current-limiting circuit consists of transistor Q8, diode CR18, and their associated components. This stage is connected across the auxiliary 20-volt supply. The current through resistors R21 and R25 through R27 sets the normal bias on this stage. Potentiometer R27 sets the range of CURRENT LIMIT ADJ R25. This potentiometer is adjusted to forward bias transistor Q8 at the current- limiting point.

When the output load demand exceeds the value set by potentiometer R25, transistor Q8 conducts heavily. The collector current of Q8, flowing through R29, forward biases diode CR18. When diode CR18 conducts, it reduces the forward bias of amplifier Q4. This reduces the drive of the series regulator transistor, lowering the output voltage.
move up a little to the right This is the end.
Any further increase in load demand further reduces the bias on Q4, further reducing the output voltage. In this manner, the circuit will maintain the load current at the set value for loads down to a short circuit. When the output current demand is reduced, the circuit conditions reverse and the voltage regulating circuits regain control of the output.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL
Under normal conditions, no special maintenance of the Model 2005 is required. If servicing is necessary, the information in this section should be read thoroughly before starting repair or calibration.

ADJUSTMENT AND CALIBRATION
Make the following adjustments whenever a component is replaced or periodic recalibration is scheduled:

a. Preliminary Meter Adjustment:
  1. Mechanically zero the meter using the adjustment screw on the front panel.
  2. NOTE: Before completing any meter adjustment, lightly tap the meter face. This will overcome any pivot friction and insure proper calibration.
  3. Set the CURRENT LIMIT ADJ control fully clockwise.
  4. Connect a 40-ohm, 10-watt resistor, in series with a standard ammeter, across the output of the supply.
  5. Set the AC switch to ON and adjust the output voltage controls for a convenient reading, approximately ampere on a standard ammeter.
  6. Set the meter switch to MA.
move up a little to the right This is the end.
  1. Adjust potentiometer R42 (on the board behind the meter) until the panel meter reading agrees with that of the standard ammeter.
b. Zero Voltage Calibration:
  1. Connect a high precision voltmeter across the output of the supply.
  2. Set the RANGE switch to the 0-10V position and the output voltage controls for 0.000 volt output.
  3. Set the AC switch to ON and observe the voltmeter.
  4. If the voltmeter does not indicate 0.000 volt ±1 MV,adjust CALIBRATE potentiometer R39 (on the rear panel) for this reading. If the adjustment is beyond the range of R39, proceed as follows:
    • Set CALIBRATE potentiometer R39 to the middle of its range.
    • Disconnect any jumper wires connected across resistors R9, R13, R40 and/or R41.
    • Connect jumper wires, in various combinations, across resistors R9, R13, R40, and R41 until the output is within 2.5 MV of zero. Solder the jumper wires in these positions.
    • Adjust CALIBRATE potentiometer R39 for an output of 0.000 volt ±1 MV
c. 20-Volt Adjustment: NOTE:Make this adjustment only after the zero voltage calibration.
  1. Set the RANGE switch to 10-20V and adjust the supply output to 20.000 volts. Set the VERNIER control fully counterclockwise.
move up a little to the right This is the end.
  1. Check that the dots on the VERNIER control and front panel are aligned. A setscrew is located in the VERNIER control for any necessary adjustment.
  2. Set the VERNIER control to 0.
  3. Connect a high precision voltmeter across the output of the supply.
  4. Set the AC switch to ON and observe the voltmeter.
  5. If necessary, adjust potentiometer R12 (on the amplifier board) until the voltmeter reads 20.000 ±0.007 volts.
d. CURRENT LIMIT ADJ Range Adjustment:
  1. Set the power supply output voltage to 20.000 volts.
  2. Set the meter switch to MA.
  3. Set potentiometer R27 (on the amplifier board) to the center of its range.
  4. Adjust CURRENT LIMIT ADJ potentiometer R25 through its entire range while depressing CURRENT LIMIT SET push-button S3.
  5. Adjust potentiometer R27 until the CURRENT LIMIT ADJ potentiometer varies the output current from 0 to 500 MA over its entire range.
  6. Set the CURRENT LIMIT ADJ potentiometer to the desired maximum output current, or set it fully clockwise.
TROUBLE SYMPTOMS AND SUGGESTED REMEDIES

a. Circuit faults can be isolated most rapidly by measuring the voltage and resistance. Use the data given on the schematic diagram in the Appendix as a first stop in servicing the supply.
CAUTION: WHEN UNSOLDERING SEMICONDUCTORS FOR TEST, USE A HEAT SINK TO PREVENT THERMAL DAMAGE. A LONG NOSE PLIERS
move up a little to the right This is the end.
BETWEEN THE SEMICONDUCTOR AND THE SOLDER JUNCTION IS ADEQUATE. NEVER OPERATE THE POWER SUPPLY WITH ANY LEADS DISCONNECTED OR SEMICONDUCTORS REMOVED. OPERATING POTENTIALS IN THE DC AMPLIFIER MAY CHANGE RADICALLY WHEN A COMPONENT IS REMOVED OR DISCONNECTED.

b. Power Supply Does Not Go On : If the OVEN and AC lamps do not light, check the AC fuse. If the fuse blows repeatedly, check the oven circuit and diodes CR1, CR2 and CR4 through CR7. Use an ohmmeter to take a resistance reading across each diode. Then, reverse the meter leads and take another reading. If one reading is not at least five times greater than the other, the diode is defective. If one diode in any pair is defective, replace both. A short circuit in one will produce high surge currents in the other, which can result in junction damage.

c. No DC Output Voltage: If both the AC and OVEN lamps light, but no output voltage is available, insure that the CURRENT LIMIT ADJ control is not turned fully counterclockwise. Set the meter switch to MA and increase the output voltage. If no current is indicated, check the DC fuse and input capacitor C1. If current is present when the output-voltage controls are adjusted, check safety diode CR12 and for incorrect programming or sensing connections. Diode CR12 is connected in the opposite polarity to the DC output voltage. If the reverse current flow is greater than 1 ampere, this diode may weld, placing a permanent short circuit across the supply output. Normal operation can be restored by replacing the diode (located on the amplifier board).
move up a little to the right This is the end.
d. Regulator Failure : Check for correct potentials on amplifier transistors, voltage reference, etc. If any voltage appears incorrect, disconnect AC power and make a rapid check for defective transistors. This can be done without removing the transistors from the circuit. Use an ohmmeter sot to its low resistance scale (R x1) and measure the forward and reverse resistances at the collector-base and base-emitter junctions. A resistance ratio of less than 5 to 1 indicates that the transistor is defective. Carefully remove it and check it on a transistor checker.
CAUTION: THIS TEST IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR HIGH FREQUENCY OR LOW CURRENT DEVICES IN OTHER INSTRUMENTATI0N, AS CURRENTS FROM S0ME OHMMETERS MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO DAMAGE SMALL SEMICONDUCTOR JUNCTIONS.
To test a component located in the oven:
  1. Unplug the line cord and remove the cover from the power supply.
  2. Loosen the three screws which secure the oven cover.
  3. Rotate the cover counterclockwise and pull it away from the oven.
  4. Remove the two screws which secure the oven cap; then remove the cap.
  5. Reach into the oven and extract the oven board. NOTE: To test the oven board while the unit is operating, remove it from its socket and insert a test adapter (Vector Electronic Corp. Type P-9-N-S, or equal) in its place. The board can then be plugged into the adapter.
move up a little to the right This is the end.
  1. To reassemble the oven, replace the board and cap.Secure the cap in position with two screws. Slide the oven cover down until the screws slide into the slots in the cover. Turn the cover clockwise and tighten the three screws.
e. Poor Regulation, High Ripple: No specific check can be suggested since failure to regulate within specifications may be caused by any of the components in the supply. Make a point-to-point voltage and resistance chock. Check all capacitors for open circuits and all electrolytic capacitors for excessive leakage. Make stage-gain measurements by changing the output load current and noting the change in base current of each amplifier stage. Use low resistance milliammeters and microammeters to avoid upsetting the regulator. The open-loop current gain of the regulator should be more than 106 from the base current of the input differential amplifier to the collector current of the series regulator.

In some cases, the replacement part received may have a different part number from that given in the Electrical Parts List. This can be due to several factors:

a. A different prefix indicates that Power Designs Inc. is using a different vendor source. The operating characteristics of the devices are identical.

b. A completely different part number indicates:
  1. The original vendor discontinued manufacture of the item or could no longer manufacture it to the original specifications.
  2. A better device for use in the particular circuit has been substituted.

NOTE 1: This item is a matched component. If it requires replacement, the complete oven board should be sent back to the factory for repair and recalibration. When the repaired and re-calibrated board is returned by the factory, the procedure described in paragraph 4--2b of the manual should be followed. It may also be necessary to re-trim resistor R11 and/or adjust the value of R80. To do this, set potentiometer R12 approximately 2/3 clockwise and, using a high precision voltmeter, measure the voltage across R45 (located on board at rear of decade switch assembly) with switch S4 in "10V-20V" position. Trim R11 and/or adjust the value of R80 (using type RN60 precision resistors) until the voltage across R45 reads close to 10.00 volts.

(An alternative to the foregoing procedure is to return the entire unit to the factory for repair and recalibration).
