Switcher board box

Overall Control Logic

The Switcher module box provides a preregulated set of voltages needed to power different sections of the HF receiver.
On each section of the receiver lover voltages are derived by means of on board Low-Drop Out voltage regulators.
Supply voltages provided by the switcher are:
+14V/5Amp. Used to power +12V on board LDO regulators and the audio section.
-14V/2Amp. Used to power -12V on board LDO regulators.
+18V/1Amp. Used to power the +15V on board regulator.
+5V/5Amp. Used to directly power the digital circuitry.
Switcher features are:
Four main supply voltages with good regulation and minimal ripple from a single 24V DC source.
Efficient pre-regulation of the four main supply voltages.
Over current protection of the four main supply voltages.
Over voltage protection of the four main supply voltages.
Digital LCD voltmeters supervising voltages on input and output ports.
Under voltage protection.
Simple pushbutton like On/Off control.
Handshaking with the main on board Microcontroller.
