Operation

Environment

The front panel display (CH1, CH2) shows the

output voltage or current. When operating in the

tracking mode, the power supply will

tracking mode

automatically connect to the auto- tracking mode.

When used in audio production lines, the power

supply will provide a continuous or dynamic load

connector. When the connectors are connected to

the position “ON”, a stable DC current power will

be provided for audio power amplifiers.

Dynamic load

Except for CH3, each output channel is completely

transistorized and well-regulated, and works in

constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC)

mode. Even at the maximum output current, a

fully rated, continuously adjustable output voltage

is provided. For a big load, the power supply can

be used as a CV source; while for a small load, a

CC source. When in the CV mode (independent or

tracking mode), output current (overload or short

circuit) can be controlled via the front panel. When

in the CC mode (independent mode only), the

maximum (ceiling) output voltage can be

controlled via the front panel. The power supply

will automatically cross over from CV to CC

operation when the output current reaches the

target value. The power supply will automatically

cross over from CC to CV when the output voltage

reaches the target value. For more details about

GPD-3303, the regulated DC power supply series,

are light weight, adjustable, multifunctional work

stations. They have three independent outputs:

two with adjustable voltage level and one with

fixed level selectable from 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V. The

GPD-3303 series can be used for logic circuits

where various output voltage or current are

needed, and for tracking mode definition systems

where plus and minus voltages with insignificant

error are required.

The three output modes of GPD-3303 series,

independent, tracking series, and tracking parallel,

can be selected through pressing the TRACKING

key on the front panel. In the independent mode,

the output voltage and current of each channel are

controlled separately. The isolation degree, from

output terminal to chassis or from output terminal

to output terminal, is 300V. In the tracking modes,

both the CH1 and CH2 outputs are automatically

connected in series or parallel; no need to connect

output leads. In the series mode, the output

voltage is doubled; in the parallel mode, the

output current is doubled.

The auxiliary rectifiers D1011~ D1014 provide bias

voltage filtered by the capacitors C102 and C103,

OVERVIEW

for the pre-regulators U101 and U102. They

provide a regulated voltage for other modules.

The main rectifier is a full wave bridge rectifier. It

provides the power after the rectifier is filtered by

the capacitor C101, and then regulated via a series-

wound regulator, which is finally delivered to the

output terminal.

U104 acts as a current limiter. When the current is

over predetermined rating, U104 is activated and

decreases the current. U208 provides a reference

voltage. U206 is the inverter amplifier. U103 is a

comparator amplifier which compares reference

voltage and feedback voltage, and then delivers to

Q103, Q104, which then calibrates the output

voltage.

When the unit is overloaded, Q107 activates to

control the current magnitude of Q104, to limit the

output current. The relay control circuit controls

the power dissipation in the series-wound

regulated circuit.
