GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1. INTRODUCTION.
1-2. DESCRIPTION.
1-3. The Hewlett-Packard Model 5261A Video
Amplifier is a plug-in unit which increases the sensitivity
of the Model 52431,, 52451I, and 5: 345A Electronic
Counters. The Model 5261A provides for measurement
of signals as low as 1 millivolt over the fr equency range
of 10 cps to 20 Me (52431) or 50) Mc (52451,). The
input impedance is I megohm and may be increas ed to
1(0 megohms by using a 10: 1 divider probe (HP stock
no. I000: 3A) An output signal is available at the
OUTPITT 50-ohm connector for monitoring the Video
Amplifier output or for activating external instruments.
This signal is identical in frequency and amplitude to the
amplified signal supplied to the counter input circuit.
1-4. INSTRUMENT II)ENTIFICATION.
1-5. Hewlett-Packard uses a two-section serial
number mounted on the rear panel. Earlier instruments
use an eight-digit serial number (000-00000). The first
three digits are a serial prefix number; the last five digits
refer to the specific instrument. Later instr uments use a
nine-digit serial number (0000A00000).The first four
digits are the serial instrument. If the serial prefix on your
instrument does not appear on the title page of this
manual, there may be differences between the manual
prefix and the last five digits refer to the specific

connectors, meter, and SENSITIVITY control on the
Model 5261A front panel.
3-3. OPERATING PROCEDURE.
3-4. The Video Amplifier plug-in unit is ac-coupled but
does not change any functions of the counter in which it
is installed. Using the plug-in, period, multi-period,
frequency, totalizing, and ratio measurements can be
performed with input signals as low as one millivolt. Since
the measurements can be made with or without the
Video Amplifier installed, only frequency measurement is
illustrated in Figure 3 3. For other measurement
procedures, see the Operating and Service Manual for
your Electronic Counter. Table 3-1 lists the frequency
resolution for all settings of the counter TIME BASE
control (Figure 3-3, item 3).

3-5. OPERATION WITH PULSE INPUT SIGNALS.
3-6. The Video Amplifier is designed to amplify
sinusoidal input signals. However, pulse input signals
can be amplified if the output signal is monitored to
ensure a satisfactory output to the counter. Monitor the
signal at the OUTPUT 50Q connector with an
oscilloscope and set the Video Amplifier SENSITIVITY
control for a level which results in satisfactory counter
operation. Because the output level meter is an
average-responding device, it will read low with a pulse
input signal. Do not use the meter as an output level
indicator when amplifying pulses.

FIGURE 3-1. Input Impedance vs Input Frequency
3-7. OPERATION WITH HIGH IMPEDANCE PROBE
3-8. The (hp) 10003A 10:1 divider probe can be used
with the Video Amplifier. The 10:1 divider probe serves
to decrease the effects of resistive loading on the
external circuit at low frequencies. When using the
probe, Video Amplifier sensitivity is decreased by 1 10.
As a result the maximum sensitivity of the Video Amplifier
is 10 mv.
3-9. VIDEO AMPLIFIER INPUT IMPEDANCE.
3-10. As illustrated in Figure 3-1, Video Amplifier input
impedance decreases at higher frequencies.
This decrease is due to the capacitive loading effect of
the amplifier input Thus when a signal source of fixed
impedance is connected to the Video Amplifier INPUT, a
meter at the signal source will not indicate the correct
input level at the Video Amplifier. To avoid this error,
monitor the input level at the Video Amplifier input with an
RF Voltmeter such as the (hp) Model 411A to ensure a
satisfactory input level. The Video Amplifier input can
also be terminated in the signal source characteristic
impedance but at frequencies near 50 Mc capacitive
loading reduces the input impedance, the signal source
is no longer terminated in its characteristic impedance,
and a meter at the signal source is incorrec t. Thus, the
simplest method of ensuring a satisfactory input to the
Video Amplifier is to monitor the signal level at the Video
Amplifier input.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
4-1.INTRODUCTION.
4-2.The four functional s ections of the Model 5261A
are illustrated in Figure 5-4. The pr eamplifier, attenuator,
video amplifier, and output amplifier circuits are
combined to amplify AC signals as small as 1 millivolt
and provide a usable output level to the counter input
circuit. All dc voltages to operate the Model 5261A are
supplied from the counter in which the unit is installed.
These dc voltages are filtered by components on
Amplifier assem bly A4, which includes a series regulator
in the 15-volt line.
4-3.PREAMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY A1.
4-4.The preamplifier circuit consists of a nuvistor
cathode follower driving an emitter follower to provide a
high impedance input and a low impedance output.
Diodes A1CR1 and A1CR2 limit input signal peak s and
prevent damage to A1Q1. Resistor A1R4 limits A1Q1
gate current during overload. Capacitors A1C2, A1C3,
A1C4, and A1C5 filter variations from the dc voltage
lines.
4-5.ATTENUATOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY A2.
4-6.Resistive attenuator A2 reduces the input s ignal
and establishes the overall gain of the Video Amplifier.
The amount of attenuation inserted is controlled by the
Video Amplifier SENSITIVITY switch. RC networks
A2C2, A2R10, and A219, A2C1 are selected to improve
frequency response.
4-7.VIDEO AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY A3.
4-8.The video amplifier consists of two amplifiers
with three transistors each and feedback and drift
compensation for gain s tability Feedback is pr ovided by
the RC combination of A3R5, A3C4, A3R13, A3C1 and
transistors A3Q3,A3Q6 in the feedback loops of the two
amplifiers. Drif t compens ation is also acc omplished with
the addition of A3Q3 and A3Q6. Positive feedback to
amplifier No. 2 from output amplifier A4Q4 increases
amplifier No. 2 gain at higher frequencies.
4-9.The addition of A3Q3 and A3Q6 in the feedback
loops of the two amplifiers pr ovides three functions: 1)
act as negative feedback amplifiers to reduce the gain
which reduces any drift caused by temperature changes
in the two-stage amplifiers; 2) maintain the am plifier gain
at low frequencies; and 3) filter r ipple on the -14 volt line,
in conjunction with A3C6 and A3C13.
Model 5261A
Section IV
Paragraphs 4-1 to 4-15
4-10.OUTPUT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY A4.
4-11.Output amplifier assembly A4 consists of: 1)
output amplifier circuit, 2) meter circuit: 3) plus 20volt
filter; and 4) series regulator. These four circuits are
discussed in Paragraphs 4-12 through 4-15.
4-12.OUTPUT AMPLIFIER. Emitter follower A4Q4
provides the amplified input signal to the counter via rear
panel plug P6, pin 1. This same signal is supplied to
OUTPUT 509 jack J2 for monitoring with an oscillosc ope
or application to other equipment. Positive feedback
from A4Q4 emitter to amplifier No. 2 in the video
amplifier assem bly increases the video am plifier gain at
higher frequencies. Capacitors A4C9 and A4C10 are
connected in parallel to improve the overall frequency
response.
4-13.METER CIRCUIT The signal atA4Q4 emitter is
rectified by A4C R2 and A4C R3 and filtered by A4C12.
This dc is supplied to OUTPUT LEVEL meter M1.
Capacitors A4C11 and A4C13 are connected in parallel
to improve the frequency response of the meter circuit.
Meter Cal potentiometer A4R13 provides an adj ustment
for calibrating the OUTPUT LEVEL meter(Paragraph 5-
12). Minus 15 volts is supplied to the meter cir cuit and
establishes a bias on diodes A4CR2, 3. This prevents
the meter indicating for very small output signals and
permits a meter indication in the green scale for ml
output signal greater than 100 millivolts. Diode A4CR4
acts to protect the meter during input signals greater than
100 mv. A4CR4 anode is clamped at about -1.5 volts,
which corresponds to approximately full scale. W hen
the rectified signal output exceeds this value, A4CR4
conducts and protects the meter.
4-14.PLUS 20 VOLT FILTER. Transistors A4Q1,
A4Q2, and associated components filter variations and
noise from the t 20-ivolt line. A voltage c hange at A4Q1
collector causes a change at A4Q2 base and A4Q2
changes conduction to oppose the variation. The
emitter-collector voltage drop across A4Q2 is
approximately 1 volt and the ,20 volts becomes t 19 volts
at the drain of FET A1Q1. Resistors A4R2 and A4R3
form a dc voltage divider to establish the quiescent
voltage at A4Q1 base. Capacitor A4C2 bypasses to
ground ac variations at A4Q1 base.
4-15.SERIES REGULATOR. Series regulator A4Q3
provides regulated -14 volts for the Model 5261Acircuits .
Breakdown diode A4CRI establishes a referenc e voltage
at A4Q3 base. When the -15 volts changes, A4Q3
senses this change through A4R4 and increases
conduction to oppose the change. Inductor A4L1
reduces high-frequency transients in the -14 volt
regulated output.

REPLACEMENT.
5-18. Component lead holes in the Mode I 5261A
printed circuit boards have plated walls to ensure good
electrical contact between conductors on opposite sides
of the board. To prevent dam age to this plating and to
the replacement component, apply heat sparingly and
work carefully. The following replacement procedure is
recommended:
a. Remove defective component by applying
heat carefully to the component connection and lifting the
component from the board.
b. Melt solder in component lead holes. Use
clean dry soldering iron to remove excess s older. Clean
holes with toothpick or wooden splinter. Do not use
metal tool for cleaning. This may damage through-hole
plating.

This fine document...
Was brought to you by me:
Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals
Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly
available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that
sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?
I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US
Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share,
republish, sell and so on.
