CONSTRUCTION
Introduction
The most important factor in assembling your XK-550K Digital / Analog Trainer Kit is good soldering techniques. Using the proper soldering iron is of prime importance. A small pencil type soldering iron of 25 - 40 watts is recommended.The tip of the iron must be kept clean at all times and well tinned.
Safety Procedures
• Wear eye protection when soldering.
Locate soldering iron in an area where you do not have to go around it or reach over it.
Do not hold solder in your mouth. Solder contains lead and is a toxic substance. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling solder.
• Be sure that there is adequate ventilation present.
Assemble Components
In all of the following assembly steps, the components must be installed on the top side of the PC board unless otherwise indicated. The top legend shows where each component goes. The leads pass through the corresponding holes in the board and are soldered on the foil side.
Use only rosin core solder of 63/37 alloy. DO NOT USE ACID CORE SOLDER!
What Good Soldering Looks Like
A good solder connection should be bright, shiny, smooth, and uniformly flowed over all surfaces.
1. Solder all components from
the copper foil side only. Push the soldering iron tip against both the lead and the circuit board foil.
2. Apply a small amount of
solder to the iron tip. This allows the heat to leave the iron and onto the foil. Immediately apply solder to the opposite side of the connection, away from the iron. Allow the heated component and the circuit foil to melt the solder.
3. Allow the solder to flow
around the connection. Then, remove the solder and the iron and let the connection cool. The solder should have flowed smoothly and not lump around the wire lead.
4.

Types of Poor Soldering Connections
1. Insufficient heat - the solder will not flow onto the lead as shown.
2. Insufficient solder - let the solder flow over the connection until it is covered. Use just enough solder to cover the connection.
3. Excessive solder - could make connections that you did not intend to between adjacent foil areas or terminals.
4. Solder bridges - occur when solder runs between circuit paths and creates a short circuit. This is usually caused by using too much solder. To correct this, simply drag your soldering iron across the solder bridge as shown.

INTRODUCTION
The XK-550K Digital/Analog Trainer is divided into four separate kits: BB-550-A, PS-550-B, AN-550-C and DG­550D. Each bag of parts is clearly identified. Open only the kit called for in your procedure. DO NOT open any other bag at this time. The first kit is the BB-550-A which contains only the bredboard. The bredboard will be assembled to the front panel of the trainer during the assembly of the PS-550-B Power Supply. Read your instructions carefully.
Power Supply
The XK-550K has five built-in power supplies which will satify most design needs. This includes two variable power supplies giving up to +20 volts and –20 volts at .5 amp. Below 15V, the current availableis 1 amp. Three fixed power supplies give you +12VDC, –12VDC or +5VDC at 1 amp each. These fixed voltages are the most commonly used voltages for design work. All supplies are regulated to within 150mV. This means that you can increase the current draw from no load to 0.5 amp and the voltage will change less than 150mV. All supplies are also short circuit protected by using integrated circuit regulator devices.
Analog Trainer Section Function Generator
The analog trainer contains a complete function generator capable of producing sine, square and triangle waveforms. The frequency of the generator is continuously variable from one hertz to over 100,000 hertz in five steps. A fine tuning control makes the selection of any frequency easy. The output voltage amplitude is variable between 0 to 15Vpp. The output impedance is approximately 330 ohms.
Digital Trainer Section
The digital trainer has the necessary functions to do your digital experiments. They consist of a clock generator, two no-bounce switches, eight LED indicator lamps and eight data switches.
POWER SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS
Power Supplies:
• +1.25V to 20VDC @ 0.5 amp (1.25V to 15V @ 1 amp).
• –1.25 to -20VDC @ 0.5 amp (–1.25V to –15V @ 1 amp).
• +12V +5% @ 1 amp.
• –12V +5% @ 1 amp.
• +5V +5% @ 1 amp.
• 30VAC center tapped @ 1 amp.
• Load regulation - all DC supplies less than 0.2V no load to 0.5A.

WIRE SWITCH AND FUSE HOLDER (see Figure U)
Line Cord
Slide the line cord through the back panel as shown. Spread the three line cord wires apart 6” from the end.
Fuse
Strip the insulation off of both ends of the 6” red wire to expose 1/4” of bare wire. Pass the wire through the 1/2” diameter shrink tubing. Attach one end to the side lug on the fuse holder and then solder into place. Pass the smooth edged line cord wire through the 1/2” diameter shrink tubing and attach to the end lug on the fuse holder, solder into place. Slide the shrink tubing over the fuse holder covering both lugs. Shrink the tubing for a snug fit. You may use a hair dryer, heat gun (at lowest setting or you will melt the tubing) or the heat emitting from your soldering iron (do not touch the tubing or the wires with the iron). Mount the solder lug to the side panel using a 6-32 x 5/16” screw and 6-32 nut.
Switch
Disconnect the connector for the transformer.
Pass the 6” strip of red wire (leading from the side lug of the fuse holder), the (A) and (B) black transformer wire, and the ribbed line cord wire through the 3/4” diameter piece of shrink tubing. Cut the 2” section of 3/16” diameter shrink tubing in half to create two 1” sections. Slide a 3/16” diameter piece of shrink tubing over the loose end of the red wire. Attach the red wire to lug 1 on the switch and then solder into place. Pass the black transformer wire labeled (B) through a 3/16” diameter piece of shrink tubing. Attach the wire to lug 2 on the switch and then solder into place. Slide the shrink tubing over lug 1 and lug 2 on the switch. Shrink the tubing into place. Strip the insulation off of the black transformer wire (A) and the ribbed edged line cord wire to expose 1/2” of bare wire. Twist the two bare wires together. Pass the wires through the 1/4” diameter piece of shrink tubing. Attach the wires to lug 3 on the switch and solder into place. Slide the tubing over the lug. Shrink the tubing into place. Slide the 3/4” diameter shrink tubing over the switch and shrink into place. Reconnect the connector for the transformer.

FUSE REPLACEMENT
1. Turn the trainer off and unplug it from 120VAC power source.
2. Unscrew fuse holder cap and remove fuse.
3. Use only a 1.25A fuse. Larger fuses or other fuse bypass will void the
warranty of the trainer.
4. Place the new fuse into the fuse holder cap and screw it back into the holder.
5. Plug trainer into 120VAC power source and turn the unit on.
-17-
POWER SUPPLY TESTING
lug the trainer into a 120VAC outlet and switch to the “ON” position (the power switch should light). With a
P digital voltmeter, measure the voltage outputs at the power blocks. The +12V should measure between 11.4 and 12.6 volts. The 5V supply should read between 4.75 and 5.25 volts. The –12V supply should read between –11.4 and 12.6 volts.
Do not short the 15VAC output to ground.
Short the +12V, –12V and +5V supply to ground. They should turn off and recover when the short is removed. If you have a 2510 watt resistor, place it across the output terminal (2 watt resistor will work, but use it only for a few seconds). The output of the 12V supply should not change more than 0.20 volts. Do the same on the 5V supply using a 105 watt resistor. Again, the output should not change more than 0.20 volts. In making this test, the voltmeterleads should be clipped to the terminal directly and no to the load leads. This is to prevent errors due to voltage drop from contact resistance of the load. Check the variable voltage supplies in the same manner. Set the output voltage between 10-15 volts. Place the 2510 watt resistor across the output terminal. The voltage should stay within 0.20 volts of the no load voltage.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
he power supply features two variable output voltages and three fixed 12V, –12V and 5V variable output voltages
T are 1.25V to 20V and –1.25 to –20V at up to 1 ampere maximum current. All supplies are regulated to better than
0.2V when going from no load to full load. Varying the input AC voltage from 105 to 135V will have practically no effect on the output voltages. This is because of the specially designed ICs used in the XK-700 Digital/Analog Trainer. Severe overloading or even shorting the output circuits will not damage the supplies. Special turn-off circuits in the ICs sense the overload and turn off the output.
THE POSITIVE 1.25 TO 20V POWER SUPPLY
Figure 1 shows a simplified circuit diagram of the positive supply. It consists of a power transformer, a DC rectifier stage and the regulator stage.
120VAC
Input
Transformer
120V to 17V
TRANSFORMER
The transformer T1 serves two purposes. First, it reduces the 120VAC input to 17VAC to allow the proper voltage to enter the rectifier stages. Second, it isolates the power supply output from the 120VAC line. This prevents the user from dangerous voltages should he or she be standing in a grounded area.
ACTO DC CONVERTER
The AC to DC converter consists of diodes D1, D3 and capacitor C1. Transformer T1 has two secondary windings which are 180 degrees out of phase. The output at each winding is shown in Figure 2A and 2B.
Diodes are semiconductor devices that allow current to flow in only one direction. The arrow in Figure 3 points to the direction that the current will flow. Only when the transformer voltage is positive will current flow through the diodes. Figure 3 shows the simplest possible rectifier circuit. This circuit is known as a half-wave rectifier. Here the diode conducts only half of the time when the AC wave is positive as shown in Figure 2C. Use of this circuit is simple but inefficient. The big gap between cycles require much more filtering to obtain a smooth DC voltage.

20V
By the addition of a second diode and transformer winding we can fill in the gap between cycles as shown in Figure 4. This circuit is called full-wave rectification. Each diode conducts when the voltage is positive. By adding the two outputs, the voltage presented to capacitor C1 is more complete, thus easier to filter, as shown in Figure 2E. When used in 60 cycles AC input power, the output of a full wave rectifier will be 120 cycles.
Capacitor C1 is used to store the current charges, thus smoothing the DC voltage. The larger the capacitor, the more current is stored. In this design, 1000µF capacitors are used, which allows about 5 volts AC ripple when one amp is drawn.

n practice, the current through the diodes is not as shown in Figure 2C.
I Because capacitor C1 has a charge after the first cycle, the diode will not conduct until the positive AC voltage exceeds the positive charge in the capacitor. Figure 5 shows a better picture of what the current flow looks like assuming no loss in the diode. It takes a few cycles for the voltage to build up on the capacitor. This depends on the resistance of the winding and the diode. After the initial start-up, there will be a charge and discharge on the capacitor depending on the current drawn by the output load. Remember, current only flows through the diode when the anode is more positive than the cathode. Thus, current will flow in short bursts as

shown in Figure 5. The DC load current may be one ampere, but the peak diode current may be three times that. Therefore, the
diode rating must be sufficient to handle the peak current. The 1N4001 has a peak current rating of 10 amps.
REGULATOR CIRCUIT
The regulator circuit in the power supply consists of a LM-317 integrated circuit.
This IC is specially designed to perform the regulation function. Figure 6 shows
a simplified circuit of how the LM-317 IC works.

Output R1
Transistors Q1 and Q2 form a circuit known as a differential amplifier. The base

R2
of transistor Q1 is connected to a stable 1.5V reference voltage. The base of Q2 is connected to the regulator output circuit through a voltage divider
Divider
network. The collector of transistor Q2 is connected to a current source. This basically is a PNP transistor biased to draw about 1mA of current. Transistor Q2 sees the current source as a very high resistor of about 1 meg ohms. Thus,
Figure 6
the gain of transistor Q2 is extremely high. Transistor Q5 is called the pass transistor. It controls the current reaching the output. Transistor Q3 and Q4 are
emitter followers. Their function is to raise the impedance of the pass transistor. Note that transistors Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and resistor R1 form a closed loop. Also, note that the feedback to the base of Q2 is negative, that is, when the base of Q2 goes positive, the output at emitter Q5 goes negative. Now if the 2 volt output voltage goes down because of current drain at the output, the base of Q2 will drop, forcing the collector voltage to go higher. This will bring the output voltage back to 2 volts. This is the basis of all negative feedback regulators.
Another feature of the LM-317 regulator if to protect the IC against overload and output shorts. If the IC is overloaded, the junction of an overload transistor will overheat. A transistor will sense this overheating and shut down transistor Q5.
The LM-317 IC is basically a 1.25 volt regulator. To be able to vary the output from 1.25V to 20V, we stack the IC on the a DC voltage as shown in Figure 7. When VR1 equals 0, the output voltage is 1.25 volts as determined by the LM­317 IC. Note that the voltage across VR1 will equal the 1.25 volts across R1, therefore the output voltage will be 2.5 volts. When VR1 is 5 times R1, the
LM-317
1.25 - 15V
R1
VR1
output voltage is 6.25 volts. As you can see, varying resistor VR1 will vary the voltage from 1.25 volts to 20 volts.
THE NEGATIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Figure 7
The theory of the negative regulator is the same as the previously discussed positive regulator. The basic difference is that diodes D1 and D3 are reversed, producing a negative voltage across capacitor C1. The LM­317 IC is designed to operate from a negative supply.

There are two logic switches and four conditions to be checked out. Connect a wire from the “X” test pin to the “A” logic indicator test pin. Connect another wire to the “X” test pin to the “B” test pin.
Apply power and note that the “A” LED indicator should be lit when the logic switch is in the “X” position and the “B” LED should light and the “A” LED not light. Check the “Y” logic switch in the same manner.
TESTING THE DATA SWITCHES
There are eight data switches to be checked. The output of the switches are 5V or ground depending on the position. Connect a wire to the SW1 test pin and the “A” test pin. The “A” LED should light when the switch is placed toward the top of the case. Repeat the same test on SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5, SW6, SW7 and SW8.
Unplug the unit from the AC outlet.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION - DIGITAL SECTION
THE DATA SWITCHES
here are eight data switches labeled SW1 through SW8. The circuit is very simple. To perform the desired
T functions, there is a double throw double pole switch, wired as a single pole double throw. One end is connected to the 5V, the other to ground and the center lug is connected to the output.
THE LOGIC SWITCHES
The logic switches are also DPDT switches wired as SPST switches. The logic switches perform the same function as the data switches. That is, they produce high or low states. But there is one big difference. When switching the data switches, many pulses may be produced due to bouncing of the contacts.
In the logic switches, only one pulse is produced at the IC output no matter how many times the contacts bounce. This is extremely important if you are producing pulses for counting circuits. Figure R shows the wiring of the logic switch. The two NAND gates are connected so that when the X input is grounded, the X output goes high. Opening and closing the ground at X will not change the output. Only when X is grounded will the output change to low. Thus, only one output change is produced with one movement of the X switch. There are two outputs from each logic switch, X and X or Y and Y.
THE LOGIC INDICATORS
There are eight logic indicators. Figure S shows the circuit. It consists of a 74HC04 IC. When the input is over 2.8V, the output of the IC will be low, drawing current through the LED indicator. The 120resistor limits the current in the LED to less than 20mA. When there is no connection to the input of the logic indicators, the two 100kresistor bias the input to GND. This insures that the LED will be off.
