This manual will help you service both the Sony/Tektronix 318 Logic Analyzer and the Sony/Tektronix 338 Logic Analyzer.
The procedures and descriptions contained herein apply to both Instruments. Unless otherwise specified, all screen
displays have been developed from the 338S1. The 338S1 contains all the basic features of the standard 338 plus the
following additional features: serial state analysis, an RS-232C interface, and non-volatile memory.
DESCRIPTION
The Sony/Tektronix 318 and 338 are keyboard-controlled, multifunction, portable logic analyzers.
Each can operate as a parallel tim ing analyzer or a parallel state analyzer, and each is provided with composite video
output. The Sony/Tektronix 318S1 and 338S1 provide several additional features: serial state analysis, RS-232C
interface, and non-volatile memory.
The instruments ar e m enu-driven s ystems. T his m eans that all operations ar e set up via m enus that are displayed on the
monitor screen. There are three m enus for setting up parallel data acquisition, three menus for setting up serial data
acquisition, one menu for remote operation, one menu for non-volatile memory operation, and two menus for data display.
MODES OF OPERATION
When used as a parallel timing analyzer, the 318 provides a 16-channel-wide input, 50 MHz (maxim um ) clock speed, and
256 bits/channel memory for data. Glitches are captured on all 16 channels. The 338 provides a 32-channel-wide input,
20 MHz (maximum) clock speed, and 256 bits/channel m emor y for data. Glitches are captur ed on eight channels. T hree
word recognizers can be specified on all c hannels and used in several different triggering s equences. The digital delay
counts up to 65,000 clock cycles. In the 318, data before or after the occurrence of a spec ified trigger s equence can be
acquired and stored at sample intervals ranging from 20 ns to 500 ms with two lock and trigger qualif iers. In the 338, data
before or after the occurrence of a spec if ied tr igger s equenc e c an be acquir ed and s tored at s ample intervals ranging from
50 ns to 500 ms with four clock and trigger qualif iers. The s tored data can be displayed on the CRT sc reen in a timing or
state format.
A composite video output for har d-copy units or video terminals is provided. This feature allows doc umentation of test
results and operating parameters.
As a serial state analyzer, the 318S1/338S1 acquires serial data in five, six, seven, eight, or nine bits/character in
asynchronous or synchronous timing. Two continuous word recognizers provide triggering upon recognition of preset
words. The digital delay counts up to 65,000 words. Data before or after the occ urrence of a specif ied trigger sequence
can be acquired and stored at baud rates ranging from 50 to 19.2K baud. T he s tored data is dis played on the CRT scr een
in binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, ASCII, or EBCDIC format.
The RS-232C interface port allows the 318S1/338S1 to be link ed with terminal equipment through an asynchronous, fullduplex modem. In remote control mode, the 318S1/338S1 c an r eceive all c ontr ol commands, m emory control commands,
or reference mem ory data from the ter minal equipm ent instead of the keyboard. It can send the CRT display inform ation
or memory data to the terminal equipment via the RS-232C port.

Introduction & Specifications-318/338 Service
The non-volatile mem ory can retain three setups and one set of reference or ac quired data for about five years. Each
memory area is selectable f or the use of parallel or serial inform ation. The current setup of the instrum ent is stored by
keyboard control or control comm ands from the term inal. The stored setup inform ation is recalled in the same manner.
The data can be stored and recalled only by the 318S1/338S1 keyboard.
All functional parameters and operation of the instrument ar e programmable from the front panel or over the RS-232C
port.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The 318/338 is a menu-driven s ystem. This means that all operations are set up by means of menus displayed on the
monitor screen. Refer to the 318/338 Logic Analyzer Operator’s Manual for additional information on the general operation
and characteristics of the 318/338 menus.
INSTALLATION
Installation consists of selecting the appropriate operating voltage, c onnecting the 318/338 to a power input source, and
connecting the probe(s), as required, to the 318/338 and the circuit under test.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The 318/338 operates from a nominal 115 or 230 V, 48 to 440 Hz, single-phase power input sour ce. Before c onnecting
the instrument to a power source, verify that the line-voltage indicator on the back of the instrument is displaying the
correct nominal voltage for the power input source to be used.
CAUTION
Before applying power to the instrument make sure the line- voltage indicator
shows the correct voltage for the power input source being used. The instrument
can be damaged if the line-voltage switch is in the wrong position for the voltage
being supplied. Adjust the red voltage selector switch on the back-end panel of
the instrument for the proper line-voltage. Make sure you are using the correct
power supply cord when connecting the 318/338. If you are unsure if either the
voltage selector switch is in the proper position, or if you have the appropriate
power cord, refer the instrument to qualified service personnel.
POWER CORD
This equipment has a 3-wire power cord with a 3-contact plug for connection to the power source and to protective ground.
The plug protective-ground contact connects (through the power cord protective-grounding c onductor) to the accessible
metal parts of the equipm ent. For electrical shoc k protection, ins ert this plug into a power input sourc e sock et that has a
securely grounded protective-ground contact. The power cor d is detachable. W hen not in use, it s hould be stored in the
accessory pouch. Instruments are usually factory equipped with a 115 V power cord unless otherwise ordered. For more
information on power cords, contact your Tektronix representative or your local Tektronix Field Office.
WARNING
Hazardous voltages may be present on the exposed mental surfaces of the
mainframe if the power source socket’s protective ground connection is not
securely grounded.

Operating Instructions-318/338 Service
MENU CHARACTERISTICS
There are certain characteristics and terms common to all menus. The following paragraphs discuss these common
characteristics and their im plications. More complete information is available in the 318/338 Logic Analyzer Operator’s
Manual, and as each menu is called later in this section.
POWER-UP CONFIGURATION DISPLAY
When the 318/338 is first powered up, it lists the configuration of the 318/338 and identifies option modules. It then shows
the results of the self test.
MENUS AND SUBMENUS
Each 318/338 menu is displayed on the monitor screen when you press its associated MENU key on the keyboard.
Some of the menus are comprised of several parts called subm enus. These submenus are individual screen displays
which may be selected only after the menu is entered. For exam ple, the parallel State Table menu has two submenus:
one for searching for data and one for comparing data. To display either of these submenus , you must first enter the
parallel State Table menu.
MENU DEFAULT DISPLAYS
On system power-up, the 318/338 assigns each menu default operating parameters. When you enter the menu, the menu
and its default parameters appear on the screen. This initial menu display is called the menu’s default display. If no
changes are made to the menu’s default display, the 318/338 will use the default parameters during the various
operations.
MENU FIELDS AND THE EDIT CURSOR
When a menu is displayed on the 318/338 screen, the m enu’s changeable parameters appear as reverse-video fields.
Before making any changes in a specific field, you must first move the blinking edit cur sor to that field. The edit cursor
moves from field to field, in any direction. It is controlled by these EDIT keys:
↑, ↓, ←
Once the edit cursor is loc ated in a specif ic field, you can change the field value. The c omm on keys used in m aking field
changes are:
, and →. They move the cursor one space up, down, left, or right.
• Data Entry keys - used in fields that have a string of numeric values.
• SELECT key - used in fields with predetermined values.
• INCR and DECR keys - used in fields that have specific incrementing or decrementing numerical values.
• CLEAR key - used in fields that allow a reset to zero.
NOTE
In some fields you must press the EXECUTE key after making any changes with the
SELECT key. In these cases, an error message will appear when you try t o move
the edit cursor to another field after pressing the SELECT key. Pressing SELECT
again will abort EXECUTE.

ERROR MESSAGE AND ACQUISITION STATUS READOUT
The 318/338 has a comprehens ive set of err or and acquisition status mes sages. T hese mes sages appear on the bottom
line of the screen: the error m essage is at the lef t of the s creen and is dis played in blinking, highlighted video; acquisition
status is at the right hand of the screen and is displayed in blinking video.
A complete listing of error and acquisition status messages can be found in Appendix A of this manual.
MAJOR MODE SELECTION FIELD
The major mode (PRL/SER/KBD/RMT/NVM) selection field appears in the top left corner of the screen (except when
displaying the RS-232 Setup menu or the Non-Volatile Memory Setup menu). After mak ing any changes in this field, you
must press the EXECUTE key to access the selected mode.
INPUTS DURING ACQUISITION
Even when acquiring data (when waiting for a trigger or in REPEAT mode), the 318/338 c an accept any keys in any fields
except for those that generate the message: PRESS STOP. This capability allows you to change the delay value or
sample clock while looking at continuously acquired data, without pressing the STOP key.
MENU FUNCTIONS
SETUP MENU
The Setup menu (parallel) s erves two functions. F irst, it is used to s pecify the acquisition mode ( SINGLE, REPEAT , RPT
UNTIL ACQ = REF, RPT UNTIL ACQ ≠ REF) that will be used during acquisition.
The second function of the Setup m enu is to determ ine the way in which acquisition channels are organized for dis play. It
organizes the channels into logical groups. This inf ormation is then used by the Trigger m enu for organizing the word
recognizer channels, and by the State Table menu for organizing the data display. This channel organization is
independent of the order in which channels are connected to the system under test. The organization only aff ects the
display, not the actual acquisition. Changes can be made to the data display after the data has been acquired.
The Setup menu (serial) also s erves the following functions: comm unication mode (ASYNC/SYNC) selection, baud rate
selection, input polarity selection, bits/word selection, and parity selection.
THRESHOLD MENU
The function of the Threshold menu is to determine probe input thres holds (including data lines and the external clock
line).
3-3
TM 11-6625-3145-14
Operating Instructions-318/338 Service
TRIGGER MENU
The Trigger m enu sets up the major acquisition parameters. First, it specifies which trigger mode (INT , EXT, or INT OR
EXT) will be used during acquisition. Then it specifies the acquisition clock (external or internal) and trigger position
(BEGIN, CENTER, END, or DELAY), and enables clock or trigger qualifier lines. T he T rigger m enu als o controls all word
recognition, triggering parameters, and glitch triggering. The T rigger m enu (serial) als o controls SYNC WORD and HUNT
WORD in synchronous mode.
STATE TABLE MENU
The State Table menu has two subm enus: SRCH (search) and CMPR (com pare). The SRCH (search) function is used
for searching through ACQ (acquisition) or REF (reference) memory for a specific data word or a word including a glitch. It
will show the number of occurrences of the specific data in the mem ory and it will also show the relative position of the
memory cursor to these data. T he CMPR (com pare) function is us ed in conjunction with REF (ref erence) m emor y. REF
memory is filled with a copy of ACQ memory when EXECUTE is pressed (edit cursor in the ACQ-REF field).
The CMPR displays then show differences between REF m emory contents and any later ACQ memory contents within the
CMPR WDO (window). The channel organization of the parallel state display is controlled by the Setup menu.
TIMING DIAGRAM MENU (PARALLEL ONLY)
The Timing Diagram m enu (parallel) has two submenus: SRCH (searc h) and ∆T (delta time). T he search function is the
same as in the parallel State Table m enu for displayed data or data on that page. The ∆T (delta time) f unction makes a
timing measurement between two given locations (∆T and C) in the waveform display.
CHARACTER MENU (SERIAL ONLY) (318S1/338S1)
The Character menu (serial) has two submenus: SRCH (search) and CMPR (compare). These are the same as
described for the State Table menu. This display shows 256 bytes of data on one screen in either ASCII or EBCDIC
format.
REMOTE (RMT) MENU (318S1/338S1)
The purpose of external com munication is to allow the user to store referenc e memories; to retrieve acquis ition, ref er enc e,
and glitch memories; to store and retrieve setups outside the 318/338; and to be able to control the 318/338 from an
external controller. You can select BAUD RATE and ECHO in the RMT mode.
NON-VOLATILE (NVM) MENU (318S1/338S1)
The values of setup param eters and acquisition or reference m emory can be stored in NVM memory. This m eans that
once the parameters and m emory are saved, they will not change (in the NVM) when the 318/338 is powered off and back
on again.
NOTE
When the NVM diagnostics test is run, all information stored in the NVM memory is
erased.

DIAGNOSTICS
The 318/338 has internal diagnostics to help verify proper instrument performance. Some of the diagnostics occur
automatically whenever the 318/338 is powered on. Other diagnostics require that probes be pr operly attached to test
points or require an operator at the keyboard. Any error found during correc t operation of the diagnostics means that an
instrument failure has oc curred, has been detected, and that service is required. If an error occurs, r efer to

DIGITAL LOGIC CONVENTIONS
Digital logic techniques are used to perform most functions within this instrument. Function and operation of the logic
circuits are represented by standard logic symbols and terms. All logic f unctions are described using the positive logic
convention. Positive logic is a system of notation whereby the more positive of two levels is the true, or 1 state; and the
more negative level is the false, or 0 state.
In logic descriptions, the mor e positive of the two logic voltages is ref erred to as high, and the m ore negative s tate as low.
The specific voltages that constitute a high or low state vary between different electronic devices.
Whenever a line name on a schematic is ref er red to within the text, that line name may be overscor ed, SIGN AL, indicating
that the line is an active low. Line names without overscores are active high.

ACQUISITION MODULE
PARALLEL DATA INPUTS (A01 AND A02)
The Input-A (A01) and Input-B (A02) boards configure the parallel data inputs. These boards are mounted into connectors
J1 and J2, respectively, on the Mother board.
P6451 Parallel Data Probe. In the 318, two P6451 parallel data probes can be connected to the right-s ide panel. The
338 has four P6451 parallel data probes. Each probe ac cepts eight c hannels of data and one qualif ier channel f or either
trigger or clock qualifications. Thus, 16 channels of data and 2 channels of qualifiers are available for the 318, and 32
channels of data and 4 channels of qualifiers are available for the 338.
P6107 External Clock Probe. The P6107 external clock probe is identical to the serial data probe, but the input
capacitance compensation is s lightly different (20 pf f or the external cloc k probe, 40 pf for the ser ial data probe). See the
External Clock Probe Compensation
This probe receives an external clock signal when the 318/338 is operating in synchronous mode.

Data Buffers, Delay Lines, and First Lactches. Data acquired by the P6451 probe is sent differentially to a data buffer.
The output of the data buffer is routed to a delay line which is used to adjust the setup/hold timings between data and
clock. This delayed data is latched by the first latch. Glitch recognition is also performed by the IC containing this latch.
External Clock Circuit. An external clock from the P6107 probe is buffered by the FET buff er and c onverted to ECL level
by the ultra-fast comparator. Clock delay is adjusted by a delay line with taps connected to the output of the comparator.
Clock Selector. The internal clock, or the external clock’s rising or falling edge, can be selected with this selector.
Word Recognizer. Three kinds of word recognition ( Word A, B, and C) are perf or med by the word recognizer (WR). T he
outputs of the first latches are supplied to these WRs.
Threshold Circuit. The ROM/Threshold boar d provides threshold levels for eac h of the parallel data probes and for the
external clock probe.
ACQUISITION CONTROL BOARD (A03)
This board controls all parallel data acquired through J3 on the Mother board.
Qualifier Selector. Qualifier signals from the parallel data inputs are selected by the qualifier selec tor as either a trigger
qualifier or a clock qualifier. Polarity is also selected by this circuit.
Strobe Generator. The strobe generator provides four timing clocks to control triggering and data writing. All timing
clocks are adjustable by tapped delay lines and variable capacitors. This generator is enabled by the clock qualifier signal.
Trigger Sequencer. The trigger sequencer perf orms complex triggering according to the data written in the Sequencer
RAM (SQRAM). Three outputs from the word rec ognizers, and the outputs from the glitch trigger are connected to the
SQRAM inputs. The trigger sequencer sets the various flags on each word recognition and, once the trigger combination
is satisfied, starts the delay counter.
Event/Delay Counter. LSI-A, specially developed by Sony/Tektronix, contains a 16- bit synchronous counter used as the
event/delay counter. This counter has two functions: trigger event counting and delay counting.
ACQUISITION MEMORY BOARD (A04)
100 MHz Oscillator. A 100 MHz crystal-controlled os cillator is used for as ynchronous parallel acquisition. T his clock is
divided by a 1-2-5 sequence with LSI-B (A04 U140), to produce a 20 ns to 500 ms range.
Sampled Data RAM and Glitch RAM. In the 318, a 32 X 256-bit high-speed RAM is used for storing both sampled data
and glitch data. In the 338, a 32 X 256-bit high-speed RAM is used f or sam pled data, and a separate 8 X 256-bit RAM is
used for glitch data.
Acquisition Address Counter and Carry Flag F-F. Two 4-bit synchronous counters are used as acquisition address
counters to provide addresses f or the sampled data RAM and glitch RAM. The c arry flag F-F holds the carr y condition
once the address counter is full.
Output Multiplexer. Data written in the sampled data RAM, the glitch RAM, and the acquisition status register can be
read by the MPU. This multiplexer selects the data to be sent to the MPU.

MAINFRAME
ROM/THRESHOLD BOARD (A05)
The ROM/Threshold board is installed into J5 on the Mother board.
ROM. Six 16K X 8-bit mask ROMs and one 8K X 8-bit EPROM are mounted on the ROM/Thres hold board. Part of the
ROMs are configured into four pages, since only 64K bytes of the 112Kbyte total can be addressed at a time.
Threshold Circuit. The threshold circuit contains two latching digital-to-analog converters. T his circuit provides three
kinds of threshold levels: V1, V2, and V3 {(V1 +V2)/2} for both parallel and serial probes.
MPU/DISPLAY BOARD (A06)
The MPU board is plugged into the J06 card-edge c onnector on the Mother board. The MPU board contains a Z- 80A
microprocessor , RAMs, a display controller, a character ROM, bus buff ers, key control logic, and oscillators for the MPU
and TV timings.
Microprocessor. A Z-80A microprocessor controls all operations for diagnostics and data acquisition.
RAMs. Two 1K X 8-bit static RAMs are used by the MPU to store data and flags.
Display Controller and Character ROM. This integrated circuit, developed by Sony/Tektronix, controls the 318/338
display data stored in the display RAM. The display controller decodes control codes for inverse video, blink ing, other
special display codes, and letter codes by referring to the character ROM. It then generates control signals for the CRT.
Bus Buffer. All address buses and data buses are buffered to provide sufficient fan-out to drive several boards connected
to the bus through the Mother board.
Key Control Logic. Key signals from the keyboard are encoded by a priority encoder and are sent to the MPU as a key
code with an interrupt. All keys (except the STOP key) can be masked by the MPU with the keyboard mask bit.
MOTHER BOARD (A08)
The Mother board provides interconnection f or boards A01 through A07 through connectors J1 to J7. In addition, this
board routes power to all boards and has connectors for the keyboard and the CRT boards.
KEYBOARD (A09)
The keyboard serves as the operator’s interface. The operator selects the menu to be displayed and sets up the
instrument from the keyboard. All functions of the 318/338 can be controlled from this keyboard in the local mode.
Pressing any key will cause an interrupt to be sent to the MPU, along with the key code corresponding to the key pressed.
CRT BOARD (A10)
CRT. The CRT is a four-inch raster-scan type.
CRT Circuit. The CRT circuit pr ovides z-axis voltage and the horizontal and vertical deflection-curr ent outputs that are
used for the CRT. A flyback transformer in the horizontal deflection circuit provides the high voltage and other CRT
electrode voltages.

POWER SUPPLY (A11AND A12)
The power supply provides dc voltages of -3.3 V, -12 V, + 12 V, -5 V, -2 V, and +5 V to operate the 318/338 circuitry. It
also supplies voltage for the fan motor. It operates in the line input range of either 90 to 132 V ac or 180 to 250 V ac at 48
Hz to 440 Hz single-phase.
LEFT-SIDE PANEL
A BNC connector for video-output is mounted on the lef t side panel. The BNC is connected to the MPU/Display board
through the Mother board. If option 01 is installed (318S1/338S1), a second BNC connector for the P6107 serial data
probe and a 25-pin male connector for the RS-232C port are added.
318S1/338S1 (A07)
The 318S1/338S1 Logic Analyzer has the I/O circuit board (A07) plugged into J7 of the Mother board. The 318S1/338S1
contains three added functions:
• Serial State Analysis
• RS-232C Interface (Remote)
• Non-Volatile Memory
Serial Input Comparator. Serial data from the P6107 serial data probe is supplied to the serial input com parator and is
converted to a TTL-level signal.
Serial I/O Controller. The Serial Input/Output (SIO) c ontroller handles serial-to-parallel conversions. T he SIO contains
two serial data transceivers, Port-A and Port-B. Port-A is used for serial data acquisition and Port-B is for RS-232C
control.
DETAILED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE 318
The following paragraphs contain theory of operation inform ation f or the 318 Logic Analyzer. For inform ation on the theory
of operation for the 338 Logic Analyzer, refer to the Table of Contents and following sections of this chapter.
318 A01 INPUT A BOARD <1> <2>
A02 INPUT B BOARD <3> <4>
The Input section consists of the Input A (A01) and the Input B (A02) boards. The block diagram for these boards is
shown in Figure 4-1. Since both of these boards share the same function, they are discussed as a unit in this description.
OVERVIEW
Refer to schematics <1> and <3>. T he acquisition stages consist of 16 discrete units that perf orm data sampling and
glitch recognition. Sixteen channels of data to be s ampled come into the unit from the P6451 parallel data probe. Eac h of
the acquisition stages feeds data to the acquisition RAM where it can be read by the MPU. The same data from the
parallel data probe is supplied to the glitch recognition lines, and the 16 glitch recognition outputs are combined and
applied to the glitch trigger circuits.
To help explain the operation of the data channels, we will trace the operation of channel 8. Refer to the schematic <3>.

TM 11-6625-3145-14
Theory of Operation-318/338 Service
A02U202 receives ECL-level differential data fr om channel 8 of the par allel data probe. The data enters the c ircuit board
via pins 22 and 10 of J204, and connects to pins 10 and 9 of A02U202.
The data is applied to the differential inputs of a receiver. From the receiver, the data is sent through the delay line DL1
06A to enable the timing to meet its setup-and-hold-time specification. On the rising edge of each clock (entering
A02U202 at pin 1), data, glitch, and glitch trigger are clocked, then sent off from pins 8, 2, and 14, respectively.
Operation of channels A02U204, A02U206, A02U208, A02U210, A02U212, A02U214, A02U216, A02U100, A02U102,
A02U104, A02U106, A02U108, A02U110, A02U112, and A02U114 are the same as for channel 8 (A02U202).
The glitch output goes high if at least two data transitions occur between rising edges of the clock.
If the glitch recognizer off/on line (pin 15, GRC) Is low, the glitch rec ognizer out line (pin 14, GR) indicates the presenc e of
one or more glitches. (T he (GRC line is controlled by shift regis ters A02U118 and A02U218.) If the GRC line is high, the
output line from pin 14 is disabled. The glitch trigger outputs of the 16 M21 8s are wire-ORed together. so whenever any
channel detects a glitch, that line moves to high.
ADDRESS DECODER <2>
The address decoder circuit consists of A01 U130 and A01U132. A01U132 is a TTL-to-ECL-level converter. U130
decodes 1/0 addresses 00, 01, 02, and 03. 1/O address 00 (A01U130 pin 11) is used to write trigger word data into the
Word Recognizer mem ory from channel 0 to channel 15. I/O address 01 (A01U130 pin 10) is a clock selector port. I/O
address 02 (A01U130 pin 9) resets the word recognizer memory address counter. This port als o controls glitc h trigger on
and off. I/O address 03 (A01U130 pin 7) increments the word recognizer address counter.
EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT <4>
The external clock input is a high input-impedance (1 M(2) buffer. Transistor A04Q108A is connected as a source
follower. Transistor Q108B maintains a constant current flow through A04Q108A. The dc balance adjustment, R234.
sets the dc offset voltage of the source follower to 0 V.
EXTERNAL CLOCK COMPARATOR <4>
A02U236A compares the input signal fr om the source follower with a reference voltage divided by A02R238, A02R239,
and A02R240. This circuitry multiplies one-fourth the CLK Thres hold level from the A05 ROM/Threshold board by twofifths to match the P6107 external clock probe attenuation (1/4 x 2/5 = 1/10). If the input signal level is more pos itive than
the reference voltage, A02U236 pin 1 is high and A02U236 pin 2 is low R239 com pensates for the Q108’s source-drain
resistor variation.
CLOCK SELECTOR <4>
Data from shift register A02U224 controls A02U222A, A02U226B, A02U226A, and A02U244A. The MPU sets one of
these gates to low (enabled); then EXT ↑, EXT ↓, or INT CLK is selected.
These gates have three outputs. One clock s eight M218s on the A02 Input-B board, another clock s eight M218s on the
A01 Input-A board, and the third is distributed to the A03 ACQ Control board.

GLITCH CONTROL <2> <3> <4>
This circuit controls pin 15 of the M218s. M218’s pin 15 is used to control pin 14’s output. If pin 15 is for ced high, glitch
trigger output pin 14 is disabled (kept low): if pin 15 is low, pin 14 is enabled. T heref ore, if a glitc h tr igger on a c ertain line
is expected, the corresponding M218’s pin 15 must be low. Since all M218 pins 14 ar e wire-ORed, a glitch tr igger occ urs
when any of M218’s glitch trigger output moves to high. A01 U118 <2> and A02U218 <3> control M218’s pin 15; these
registers are written to serially; they output their data in parallel to their respective M218s. A02U240 <4> shifts the MPU
data and clock signals by --5 V, and shifts the TTL swing to match the M21 8’s special input level.
PIPELINE REGISTER <1> <3>
This circuit consis ts of latches A01U122, A01U128, and A01U134 <1>, and latches A02U228, A02U234, and A02U238
<3>. The sampled data and glitch from the M218s are applied to the inputs of the pipeline registers. The pipeline
registers synchronize the data for storage in the acquisition (ACQ) m em ory. Clock signals for the register are provided by
the SYSCLK 2 signal which is delayed by A01DL104 <2> (delayed SYSCLK 2 is called SYSCLK 3) and buffered by
A02U200C <4> . Each SYSCLK 2 pulse advances the data from the M218 to the register, where it is held for one c lock
cycle before being loaded into the ACQ memory.
WORD RECOGNIZER <1> <2> <3>
The W ord Recognizer (WR) consists of three 16-channel word recognizers with high-speed m emories. The 318 offers
three word recognizer functions where three differ ent words m ay be set simultaneous ly. They are nam ed tr igger words A,
B, and C. The MPU loads data into A01U120 <1 > and A02U220 <3>, according to the trigger word, us ing A01 U124 <2>,
A01 U126 <2>, A02U230 <3>, and A02U232 <3> (memory address counters). The MPU increm ents thes e counters one
by one and loads data for trigger word A, B, or C into A01 U120 and A02U220. Each W R RAM has 8 address lines and
three data lines. Data from the M218s is used as address f or the W R RAM. W ithin the WR RAM, data is only three bits
wide, corresponding to triggers A. B, and C.
The MPU writes data, according to the trigger word, into the WR memory and increments the address counters. T his
operation is repeated 256 times. For example, to set the trigger word 7638hex, the MPU writes 0 into the lower WR
memory where the address counter value is 38hex, and 0 is written to the higher WR where the counter value is 76hex . In
all the other addresses, the WR’s are filled with is.
During acquisition, data is supplied to A01U120 and A02U220 address inputs, and if a trigger word com es, A01U120 and
A02U220 (whose outputs are wired-ANDed) generate a trigger signal which is sent to the A03 Acquisition Control board.
DATA THRESHOLD BUFFER <4>
The currents from edge-c onnectors 38B and 39A ar e applied to the inverting inputs of A02U242B and A02U242A, (gain of
minus one) and the currents f rom A02J202 pins 4 and 5 and A02J204 are supplied to the non-inverting inputs of these
amplifiers to be summ ed. The input is divided down to 5/8 of the original value before it is sent to the non-inverting inputs
of A02U242A and A02U242B. The output current of these amplifiers is then supplied through A02R262 and A02R256 to
the parallel data probe.

PROBE COMPENSATION <4>
In the probe compensation mode, an external clock is supplied to the ACQ memory as data through A02U244A and
A02U244B gates. Channel 8 of the acquired data is used as the trigger , and channel 9 is used for data (U228-6,7 <3>).
The MPU recognizes over- or under-compensation from the ac quired data of channel 9. (Channel 9 is the result of the
clock signal compared with Threshold A.)

The qualify/SQRAM data register consists of A03U106 and A03U108.
This register is shared by two separate functions. W hen loading par ameters into the SQRAM, A03U106 and A03U108 are
used as the data register. To provide data to the SQ RAM, the MPU writes the data into A03U106 and A03U108 at I/O
addresses 50
hex
and 51
, respectively. The data format is illus tr ated in Figure 4- 4. T he outputs of A03U106 and A03U108 are connected

to the SQRAM inputs. The signal, LDSQRAM (A03U108 pin 14), is high when data is loaded from this data register into
the SQRAM.
During an acquisition, A03U106 and A03U108 are used as the qualify register. Qualify data and other control bits are
written to them at I/O addresses 50
and 51

go to the EXOR gates A03U116 and A03U118 <5> where their polarities are selected according to the polarity selection
bits. Each output of the EXOR gates is wire-ANDed and thes e signals go to gates A03U126A and A03U126B <6> of the
start logic circuit.
START/STOP LOGIC <6>
The start/stop logic circuit consists of A03U124B, A03U126A,B. When data acquisition starts, the START1 pulse is
generated at I/O address 56
and goes to the clock input of A03U124B.
hex
The output signal of this flip-flop enables the trigger qualify and clock qualify signals. These signals pass through gates
A03U126A and A03U126B to the inputs of the trigger qualify and the clock qualify flip-flops.
To read the acquired data from the ACQ memory on the A04 board, START2 is issued at I/O addr ess 55
. START2

A03DL102 to the clock pin of A03U134B.
The pulse delay time is adjusted by selecting a tap of A03J200. The pulse is used as the retiming clock which regulates
when trigger data is latched into the retiming flip-flops.

A03U132B is wire-ORed with the output of the STOP flag and goes to the write enable inputs of the ACQ mem or y devices
on the A04 board <8>.
During data acquisition, data acquired from the parallel data probes is written into memory at the location pointed to by the
address counter. At the end of the data acquisition phase, the output of the STOP flag pulls the W E signal line high, and
data acquisition stops.
The width of the WE pulse is determined by adjustable capacitor A03C106.
The address clock (ADRSCLK) circuit consists of A03U132A, A03R112A, A03R134, and A03C104. T he address clock
pulse generated by this circuit is applied to the clock inputs of addr ess counter A04U136 and A04U138 on the A04 board

The outputs of these flip-flops are wire-ORed with the outputs of the address buffer (A03U140, A03U154B, and
A03U154C) and go to the address inputs of the SQRAM (A03U144).
ADDRESS BUFFER <7>
The address buffer consists of A03U140, A03U154 B, and A03U154C. Thes e gates can be enabled only while setting up
the SQRAM (A03U144). Their outputs are used as the address to the SQRAM when loading the trigger sequence table.
See Trigger Sequencer RAM, following.
The control signal of the gates comes from A03U108 <5> and is called LDSQRAM.
TRIGGER SEQUENCER RAM <7>
The trigger sequencer RAM (SORAM) is a 4-bit high-speed memory consisting of A03U144.
The memory can be operated in either read or write mode. Before acquisition, the m emory is operated in write mode.
During acquisition, the SQRAM is operated in read mode.
To provide a trigger sequencer table to the SQRAM, the MPU writes the data already set in data regis ters (A03U106 and
A03U108 <5>) into the SQRAM at I/O address 58
. The address to the SQRAM is supplied by the MPU data.
hex
The memory address is determined by the current status of the r etiming flip-flops. The data f r om the SQRAM is applied to
the trigger sequencer flags.
The data consists of four signals: CE , LOADL, LOADDN, and SUCCEED.
The signal CE enables the event delay counter in the LSI-A.
The LOADN signal indicates that the contents of the N register (which holds the N value in LSI-A) are loaded into the
event,/’delay counter at the ’rising edge of the trigger clock.
The LOADDL signal indicates that the contents of the DL register ( which holds the delay value in LSI-A) is loaded into the
event delay counter by the trigger clock.
The SUCCEED signal is used when the trigger sequence is in the s ucceed mode. T he trigger words mus t be satisfied
sequentially in order to generate the trigger.
TRIGGER SEQUENCER FLAG <7>
The trigger sequencer flag circuit consists of A03U150A, A03U150B, A03U148B, A03U148A, A03U152A, A03U152B,
A03U156C, A03U154A, A03U1566B, A03U154D, A03U156A, A03U156D, and A03U122C.
It contains four main flags: N flag, TRIG’D flag. SUCCEED flag, and STOP flag.
N Flag Circuit. The N flag circuit consists of A03U150B, A03U152B, and A03U152A.
The output of the carry flag of the event/delay Counter In LSI-A N-1 goes to low when word A has been counted N-1 times.
This bit is applied to the inputs of the N flag flip-flop (A03U150B).
4-14
TM 11-6625-3145-14
Theory of Operation-318/338 Service
The flag is set high at the next word A and held high until trigger word B arrives.
When the reset word C comes before the trigger word B, the signal LOADN is issued f rom the SQRAM, and the N f lag is
reset.
TRIG’D Flag Circuit. The TRIG’D flag circuit consists of A03U150A and A03U156C. W hen the trigger word comes from
the parallel data probe, the LOAD DL signal (which is the output of the SQRAM) goes to high, and the T RIG ’D flag is set at
the rising edge of the trigger clock.
At the same time, the contents of the DL register are loaded into the event/delay counter and the delay count is started.
The trigger circuit is looped through A03U156, so the flag can not be reset until the acquisition phase is completed.
SUCCEED Flag Circuit. The SUCCEED flag circuit consists of A03U148B, A03U156B, and A03U154A.
This flag is used only when the trigger mode is a three-word s uccessive trigger sequence, such as "N*W A FLW ’D BY B
FLW’D BY C," or "N*W A THEN B T HEN C," or "N*W A FLW ’D BY B THEN C." In this mode, when tr igger word B arr ives
from the parallel data probe, the SUCCEED signal (which is output by the SQRAM) goes to high and the succ eed flag is
set at the rising edge of the trigger clock. T he TRIG’D flag follows the SUCCEED flag when word C is acquired. If the
acquired data could not form a successful trigger sequence, the LOADN signal is iss ued fr om A03U144 to reset the N f lag
and the SUCCEED flag.
STOP Flag Circuit. The stop flag circuit consists of A03U154D, A03U148A, A03U122C, A03U156A, and A03U156D.
The stop flag is set after the delay counter in LSI-A is counted out. It disables three circuits as follows:
1.Prohibits write operations to the ACQ memory by forcing the WE signal line high.
2.Disables the input clock by resettings the start flag flip-flop A03U124B <6>.
3.Disables the ACQ address counter (A04U136 and A04U138 <8>) on the A04 ACQ Memory board.
When data acquisition is restarted, the stop flag is reset by the RESET signal.
SQRAM DATA/WORD RECOGNIZER DATA MULTIPLEXER <7>
This circuit consists of A03U146. It is used only for the diagnostic test of the SQRAM and the word recognizer.
LSI-A A03U158 <7>
LSI-A is a bipolar LSI circuit designed by Sony/Tektronix. LSI-A includes an address decoder, 16- bit N register , 16-bit DL
register, 16-bit synchronous preloadable counter with fast-carry propagation logic, the m ask register, and the acquisition
status logic.
Address Decoder. The address decoder provides necessary pulses for the initialization and presetting of the above
circuits. Circuit selection is made using the three LSBs of the address bus from the MPU, while CS0X is low.

value into the N register at I/O addresses 41
and 42
hex

.
Event/Delay Counter. The event/delay counter is a 16-bit synchronous preloadable c ounter with fast-carry propagation
logic.
The counter is controlled by three signals: CE, LOADN, and LOADDL which are des cribed in Table 4-A. The counter
includes carry detection Logic which generates the N-1 signal when it counts out.
ACQ Status Logic. The ACQ status consists of four flags (DTFLG, WAFLG, STFLG, and CRFLG) and the INT signal.
The MPU gets these signals (except INT ) by issuing RDSTS at I/O address 5D
hex
.
INT is caused by any state change of any flag, and each flag bit can be masked by the mask bit of the mask register.
The function of each signal in LSI-A is shown in Table 4-1.

address counter for these mem ories. A sim plified diagram of the ac quisition m emory and ACQ address c ounter is shown
in Figure 4-6.
Chip Select Latch. The chip select latch (A04U114) is used to enable each 8-bit pair of the ac quisition memor y and for
identifying instrument type. It is written by the MPU with the WRITE BS signal from the A03 ACQ Control board.

Figure 4-6. 318 Simplified diagram of the acquisition memory and ACQ address counter circuit.
Acquisition Memory. The 256-word X 32-bit high-speed memory consists of RAMs A04U116, A04U118, A04U120,
A04U122, A04U124, A04U126, A04U128, and A04U130. The ACQ memory location of each data bit to be stored is
controlled by the address counter. These m em ories oper ate in either write or read m ode. In the write m ode, the low level
of the WE pulse, applied to pin 8 of each RAM, stores the input data in the location defined by the ACQ Address Counter.
During the write operation, a low on the CS0, CS1 , CS2, and CS3 lines enables the RAMs. When the RAMs are in the
read mode, a high on their WE input prevents them fr om accepting new data. Data in the RAMs can be sequentially read
by incrementing the ACQ address counter after each read operation. The outputs of the RAMs are connected to the data
selector (A04U142 and A04U144 <9>).
ACQ Address Counter and Carry Latch. The ACQ address counter designates the m emor y location of each data bit to
be stored. The counter, consis ting of A04U136 and A04U138, is a s ynchronous, 8-bit (divide by 256) binary counter which
is reset to zero by the RESET signal from the A03 ACQ Control board at the beginning of each acquisition.
The counter outputs Q0 through Q3 are connected to the address inputs of A04U116, A04U118, A04U120, U122,
A04U124, A04U126, A04U128, and A04U130.
Counter U138 provides a carry output to the carry latch (A04U139A). After one full mem ory cycle, the carry latch provides
a latched low-level signal on the output of A04U139A pin 2. It serves as the address counter CARRY signal.

TIMEBASE AND MPU BUS INTERFACE <9>
The timebase and MPU bus interface circ uit consists of the frequenc y divider, timer, slow clock detector, INT CLK buffer,
data selector, full valid flag latch, TTL-to-ECL translater, ECL-to-TTL translator, and address decoder. A simplified
diagram of this circuit is given in Figure 4-7.
TTL-to-ECL Translator. T he TT L-to-ECL tr anslator consis ts of A04U100, A04U102, A04U104, A04U106, and A04U108.
It accepts a TTL-level signal from the MPU bus and translates it into a differential ECL-level signal.
Address Decoder. The address decoder consists of A04U112C and A04U110. It provides the chip-select and enable
signals which select the specific device needed to communicate with the MPU. This s elec tion is made by outputs from the
3-line-to-8-line decoder, A04U110. Gate A04U112C supplies the I/O enable signal, EN (which is an ORed signal of BRD
and BWR).
Oscillator. The oscillator circuit c onsists of A04U112A and A04U112B. Crystal A04Y100, and A04U112A form a 100
MHz crystal-controlled oscillator. The 100 MHz oscillator is buffered by A04U112B before being divided by A04U140
(LSI-B).
Divider, Timer, and Slow Clock Detector. The divider, timer, and slow clock detector are contained on LSI-B
(A04U140). More information about LSI-B is provided under the LSI-B (A04U140) paragraph later in this section.
The frequency divider provides the 20 ns to 500 ms clock output. A clock output is determined by the internal timebase
selection register. The selec ted internal cloc k s ignal is sent to the INT CLK buf fer A04U112D. The INT CLK s election data
is shown in Table 4-5.
The timer generates the s elected constant interval signal for an inter rupt to the MPU. This s ignal is reset by the RDSTS
signal.
The slow-clock detector circuit provides the capability to detect a slow sampling clock rate ( clock less than 25 m s) in the
external clock operation m ode. When the clock rate is s low, the CLKSLW signal holds a high state and the MPU dis plays
SLOW CLOCK on the screen. The timing diagram of the timer and the slow-clock detector circuit is shown in Figure 4-8.
INTCLK Buffer. The INTCLK buff er c ons is ts of A04U112D. It pr ovides a power boost and improves the waveform shape
for INTCLK signals on the bus.
Data Selector. The data selector consists of A04U142 and A04U144. It provides data selection of either acquisition
memory output or acquisition status output. This data selector is controlled by the READ ACQ DATA signal.
When the MPU reads the acquisition m emory data, it sets the SELECT input (pin 9, READ ACQ DATA signal) to high, and
connects the acquisition memory data to the data selector output. If the SELECT input is low, acquisition status is
selected, and the MPU reads acquisition status as data.
ECL-to-TTL Translator and TTL Bus Buffer. The ECL-to-TTL translator and TTL bus buffer consists of A04U146,
A04U148, A04U150, A04U156, and A04U152. The ECL-to-TTL translator r eceives ECL-level signals f rom data selec tors
A04U142 and A04U144. A04U146, A04U148, and A04U150 are ECL-to-TTL translators with totem-pole outputs.
A04U156 is a comparator with open-collector output for wired-AND capability. The TTL bus buff er, A04U152, provides
power boost with tri-state control for the I/O common bus. It is enabled by the RD and OE signals.

Theory of Operation-318/338 Service
Full Valid Flag Latch. The full valid flag latch consists of A04U139B. It provides the full valid data display mode. T his
latch is set by the SET F VALID signal and reset by the RESET signal from the A03 ACQ board.
LSI-B (A04U140). A04U140 is a Sony/Tektronix-designed hybrid chip that provides simplified circuit construction and
reduced circuit board space and power cons um ption. Its circ uity consists of an address decoder , divider, tim er, and s lowclock detector.
The address decoder circuit consists of four decoders that enable the MPU to select the sample interval, gate clock
interval, timer clock inter val, or step clock . T he address decoder pr ovides the necessar y pulses for the initialization and
presetting of these circuits. The selection is made by two bits of address and six bits of data f rom the MPU when CS1X is
low.
The divider circuit consis ts of a 7- stage decade c ounter, and divide-by-2 and divide-by-5 counters based on a r ing counter
circuit. The output of these counters is delivered as the INTCLK signal via the 1-2-5 sequence selector.
The timer circuit consists of an output latch which is reset by the RDSTS signal from the A03 ACQ Control board. It
generates a constant interval timing signal ranging from one to five multiples of the internally generated 100 ms clock.
The slow clock detector circuit c onsists of two shift registers and a c ontrol flip-flop. The CLKSLW signal is initialized to
high level by the RDSTS signal.
If the SYSCLK signal is either high or low for two or more consecutive puls es, the internal shift register s are not clocked,
and the low level at the input of the first shift register bit is not transferred to the second shift regis ter; this causes the
CLKSLW signal to be output.
When the SYSCLK is less than 25 ms (s low rate) the shift registers are cloc ked by SYSCLK. But the CLKSLW output is
not changed because a control gate of the shift register closes before the second rising edge of SYSCLK arrives.
When the SYSCLK rate is fast (above 25 ms), the low-level pulse provided is successfully transfered to the CLKSLW
output via the first and second shift registers.
The CLKSLW output’s four conditions (high, slow, low, and fast) must be read before the start of each gate timing,
because the CLKSLW signal is changed by the gated SYSCLK.
The function of each signal for the U140 is as follows:

The 318/338 has 104 K-bytes of ROM and 8 K-bytes of RAM.
The address decoder cons ists of A05U1001, A05U005, and A05U150D. It provides the chip- select signal that determ ines
which specific device com municates with the MPU. This selection is deter mined by the output of the dual 2-line-to-4-line

THRESHOLD CIRCUIT
The threshold circuit consists of a dual digital-to-analog (D/A) converter, analog switches, and an I/O decoder.
D/A Converter. The D/A converter consists of A05U70, A05U75, A05U80, A05U85, and A05U130B. A05U70 and
A05U80 are D/A converter ICs. A05U75 and A05U85 are dual-OP amplifiers, which convert double eneded to single
ended output. A05U130B supplies a reference standard voltage source (3.2 V).
Analog Switches. The analog switch consists of A05U100, A05U105, A05U110, A05U111, A05U112, A05U113,
A05U114, A05U120, A05U125, and A05U130A. A05U100 and A05U105 are 1/0 data latch circuits that perform three
different functions. T hey hold data that selects the type of threshold (T T L, V1, V2, or V3). T hey hold data that s elects the

318/338 A06 MPU/DISPLAY BOARD <11>
A simplified diagram of the keyboard, the MPU circuits, and the display circuits is shown in Figure 4-10. The main
elements of these circuits are the MPU, the Display Controller, the Interrupt Gate stages, the RAMs, and the fr ont panel
keyboard controls.
MPU
The Z-80A microproc essor unit (A06U200) is the heart of the 318/338. All other stages of the c ircuitry either provide data
to the MPU and receive instructions from it, or they accept data from the MPU and issue instructions to it.
Due to the complexity of the MPU’s operation, a complete description of A06U200 is not pr ovided. If detailed inf ormation is
needed, refer to the Z80-CPU, Z80A-CPU Technical Manual published by Zilog.
RAM
Temporary storage of data and addres ses for the MPU, and storage of data ac quired from the probe input, is pr ovided by
RAMs A06U400 and A06U401.
BUS DRIVERS
The bus drivers consis t of A06U210, A06U212, A06U214, and A06U216, A06U210 and A06U212 ar e addres s bus dr ivers ,
A06U216 is a data bus transceiver, and A06U214 is an MPU control dr iver (inverted). These driver s send or receive the
MPU signals to or from other boards.
KEYBOARD AND KEYBOARD CONTROLLER
Control inputs from front-panel k eys (except for the STOP k ey) are encoded by A06U300 and A06U310. When a key is
pressed, X-axis lines (KBX0-KBX7) and Y-axis lines (KBY0-KBY7) supply a data matrix of the key pressed to A06U300
and A06U310.
A06U301 encodes eight X-axis lines to three binary lines; A06U300 encodes eight Y-axis lines to three binary lines. These
signals and the Key Push Acknowledge (KPA) signal are sent to the MPU data bus via tri-state bus buffer A06U320.
A06U320 is controlled by KB CS (MPU I/O address = EO read) from the A05 ROM/Threshold board<10>.
The KPA signal generates the key interrupt signal using A06R320, A06C320, and A06U220. A06R320 and C320 f orm an
integration circuit, which deletes KPA chattering. KPA without chattering is supplied to A06U220C pin 9.
A06U220 is a Quad 2-Input NAND Schmitt Trigger that controls the keyboard interrupt mask or unmask by KBMASK
(MPU I/O address = F2 bit 3 write) from the A05 board.
INTERRUPT GATES
The interrupt gates consist of A06U220 (Quad NAND Schmitt Trigger).

A06U 130 is the TV timing generator for the display control of the 318 and the 338. It generates C-SYNC (Composite
SYNC), HD (Horizontal Drive), VD (Vertical Drive), and CBL (Composite Blanking) from the output signal of A06U120B
(244.4 ns clock).
A06U134 gates A, B, and C generate the blinking clock signal (about 30 Hz) for A06U500. A06U500 is a display control IC;
it consists of a display counter, address bus multiplexer, Z-axis generator, and Z-axis controller. The display counter
determines the location of the FONT in the screen, and either blanks or unblanks the display.
The address bus multiplexer selects the output of either the display counter or the MPU address for the display RAM
(U515).
The Z-axis generator generates the Z-axis signal from the output of the character ROM ( A06U530). The Z-axis contr oller
controls the Z-axis signal (inverse, blank underscore, or blinking) and generates the trace edge for timing displays.
The data bus transceiver stage of the display controller consists of A06U510 and A06U525. This s tage controls the data
communication between the MPU and the display RAM, and allows the MPU to either write data into or read data from the
display RAM while the display RAM address is accessed by the MPU.
Character latch A06U520 latches the 8-bit data read-out f rom the display RAM. T he latched data is m aintained f or s even
display clock cycles to achieve seven dots of display per character. Data input to the character latch stage is pr ovided and
latched on the positive-going edge of the character latch clock.
Character ROM A06U530 provides the character fonts which allow a variety of displays. Each char acter f ont in this ROM
is composed of a 7 X 8-dot matrix and is selected by the 8-bit signal from the char acter latch stage and a 1-bit s ignal
(CROM) from the A05 board. The CROM bit selects either a parallel-mode character or a serial-mode character.
Each of the eight lines of a character font are selected by the line select signal fr om the display counter. T he seven dots
on each line of a character font ar e read out from the ROM when that character is addressed. The 7- bit parallel output
data is loaded into shift register A06U500 (Z- axis generator ) by the clock and is shif ted out in serial for mat to be used as a
Z-axis signal.
A06U505, A06U540, and A06Q550 comprise the video generator and CRT driver. T he video generator is a 2-bit ( 4-level)
Digital-to-Analog (DIA) converter.

Figure 4-10. 318/338 Simplified diagram of the MPU/Display board.
The serial input circuit consis ts of an input comparator, an of fset adjustor, and a clock level translator. It pr ovides serial
data and external clock signals for serial operation. A simplified diagram of the serial input circuit is shown in Figure 4-11.
Input Comparator. The input comparator cons ists of an FET input pre-amp (A07U100) and a comparator (A07U110).
Serial data applied to pin #3 of A07U100 is amplified two-and-one-half times and output on pin 6. Pin 6 is connected to pin
2 of A07U110. The threshold voltage is applied to pin 3 of A07U110. Comparator A07U110 compares the serial data
input at pin 2 with the threshold voltage input at pin 3. If the serial data input voltage is higher than the threshold voltage,
A07U110 issues a high TTL output at its pin 7.
Offset Adjust. The serial data offset is adj usted by one potentiometer, A07R23. Input serial data is monitor ed at TP10,
and threshold voltage is monitored at T P11. The data 0 volt level can be adjusted to equal the threshold 0 volt level by
tweaking A07R23.
Clock-Level Translator. The clock level translator is compar ator A07U111. The ECL-level external c lock signal from the
A02 Input B board connects to pin 2 of A07U111, and the input at pin 3 of A07U111 is set at -1.25 V. Comparator
A07U111 compares the external c lock signal at pin 2 with the -1.25 V at pin 3. If the external clock voltage is higher than -
1.25 V, A07U111 will issue a TTL output at pin 7.
NON-VOLATILE MEMORY <17>
The non-volatile memory circuit provides battery backup oper ation f or the non-volatile memory. It consists of the thres hold
voltage detector, the chip select controller, the battery switch, the battery voltage checker, and a random access memory.
Threshold Voltage Detector. The thr eshold voltage detector consists of com parator A07U120 and a 3-volt Zener diode,
A07VR100.
Comparator A07U120 com pares Vcc - 3 volts (2 volts at this point) at pin 3 with the threshold voltage at pin 2. If Vcc is
more than 4.6 volts A07U120 will output a low at pin 7. When Vcc is less than 4.6 volts , pin 3 is lower than the threshold
voltage, and A07U120 will output a at pin 7. When the output signal at pin 7 of comparator A07U120 is high, it indicates
that Vcc is low. If the output of A07U120 is not correct, adjust A07R101 using the adjustment procedure in Section 5.
Chip Select Controller. The chip select controller consists of A07U21C, A07Q120, and A07Q150, The Vc c LOW signal
is connected to the base of A07Q120. When system power starts to fail, the Vcc LOW signal changes to high and
A07Q120 turns OFF. Then, the input at pin 10 of A07U21 quic kly changes to low. W hen the system power com es back
up, the Vcc LOW signal falls to low and A07Q120 turns ON. Then the input at pin 10 of A07U21 becomes high, and pin 11
of A07U21 slowly rises to high.
The output at pin 8 of A07U21 is connected to the base of A07Q150. When Vcc is LO W , A07Q150 is OFF and pin 18 of
A07U7 (chip select) stays high. When Vcc voltage is normal (not LOW ) A07Q150 is controlled by the NVMCS (nonvolatile chip select) signal.

Battery Switch. The battery switch circuit consists of A07Q140, A07Q141, A07C160, and A07CR170. When the system
power comes up, A07Q140 and A07Q141 turn ON . Pin 18, connected through a 2K resistor, and pin 24 of A07U7 are
connected to the Vcc line. W hen the system power goes down, A07Q140 and A07Q141 tur n OFF. Pin 24 and pin 18 of
A07U7 are connected to the battery power. A07CR170 protects the battery from charging. A07C160 adjusts the switching
speed between two power sources.
Battery Voltage Checker. The battery voltage checker circuit c onsists of A07Q170 and A07U32D. A07Q170 c ompares
the battery voltage supplied to its base with the voltage at its emitter (2.90V). If the battery voltage is low (<2.2V), the input
at pin 9 of U32 is high. If the battery voltage is normal (>2.2V), A07U32 pin 9 is low. Pin 8 of A07U32 is tied to the CPU
via data bus line 7.
Random Access Memory. A07U1 is a 2040-byte random access mem ory. It uses a battery backup power source to
retain data when system power is off.

SERIAL DATA ACQUISITION <18>
The serial data acquisition circuit consists of the data bus buffer, I/O selector, baud rate selector, external trigger latch, and
serial I/O controller. It provides the serial data acquisition function. A simplified iagram is shown in Figure 4-11.
Data Bus Buffer. Bidirectional bus transceiver A07U25, with tri-state outputs, serves as the data bus buffer, allowing data
transmission either f rom the A-side bus to the B-side bus or fr om the B-side bus to the A- side bus of the buff er. T he logic
level on the BRD line controls the direction of data transmission, and the I/O ENABLE line either enables or is olates the
entire transceiver.
The I/O ENABLE line is enabled when I/O addresses 80 through 9F
, or the NVMCS (Non-volatile Memory Chip Select),
hex
are asserted. These two conditions are selected by A07U21A and A07U13.
Control of the data transmission direction and bus isolation is accomplished as depicted in Table 4-8.
Table 4-8.

I/O Selector. The I/O selector A07U30 allows the MPU to address five I/O devices. A07U30 is enabled when the bus
BM1 signal is false (low), the BWR or BRD signal is true (low), and I/O addresses 80 through 93
are selected.
hex
The output of A07U30 is controlled by bus lines A4, A3, and A2, supplied to pins 3, 2, and 1, respectively.
The functions and addresses of selected I/O operations are shown in Table 4-9.
Baud-Rate Selector. The baud-rate selector circuit consists of a progr am m able bit rate generator (A07U6), and bus data
latches A07U31 and A07U22A. The programmable bit-rate generator A07U6 supplies the receiver clock signal to the
SlO’s PORT-A. The output clock rate of its pin 10 is determined by the logic input at its pins 11, 12, 13, and 14 (S3
through S0, respectively).
The output positive-going edge at pin 12 of I/O selec tor A07U30 allows A07U31 and A07U22A to latch data. T hat latched
data (D7, D6, D5, and D4) output is applied to inputs S3-S0 of A07U6.
Latched data from D4 has another function. It selects the clock used as input at pin 15 of A07U6 (either 19.2K baud or the
external clock). The chip select function operates when S1, S2, and S3 are low The clock select signal at A07U6 pin 15 is
called IM. Inverter A07U20A inverts and shapes the baud-rate c lock. Table 4-10 shows the 16 input combinations and the
corresponding output rates.

TM 11-6625-3145-14
Theory of Operation-318/338 Service
External Trigger Latch and Data Polarity. Latched data D3 of A07U31 is applied to pin 10 of A07U1 2C. This signal is
used to select the external trigger polarity. If the polarity is positive, the external trigger’s positive-going edge sets
A07U22B. If polarity is negative, the external trigger’s negative-going edge sets A07U22B. A negative-going edge from
pin 14 of the I/O selector A07U30 resets A07U22B.
The MPU can read the status of A07U22B at pin 3 ( DO) of tri-s tate output buff er A07U32. The out- put s ignal at pin 15 of
I/O selector A07U30 controls the enable line of A07U32.
Latched data D2 from A07U31 is applied to pin 1 of A07U12A. This signal is used to select input data polarity.
Serial I/O Controller. The serial Input/Output controller (SIO, device A07U2) handles serial-to-parallel interfacing.
When receiving data, the SIO checks for stop bits, parity, sync characters, framing errors, and overrun errors. When
transmitting data, the SIO handles such tasks as sync character insertion, adding parity bits, and adding stop bits.
The Z-80A CPU supplies the CPU clock signal to SIO pin 20 as the control c lock (3.68 MHz). A07U12B and U32B adjust
the clock waveform before it reaches the SIO.
When the SIO generates an interrupt, it generates a low signal at pin 5 that ties to the bus INT line.
The SIO contains two serial data tranceivers : PORT-A rec eives data on pin #12 and a clock on pin 13, PORT- B receives
data on pin 28 and a clock on pin 27. PORT-A is used for serial data acquisition and PORT-B is used for RS-232 control.
The SIO contains two signal sets for modem control, but only one set is used for RS-232 modem control. The RS-232
modem control input signals (pins 22 and 23) and input data spin 28) are tied to the RS-232 receiver, A07U40. The
RS-232 modem control output signals (pins 24 and 25), and out-put data (pin 26) are tied to the RS-232 transmitter,
A07U41.
In this system, the SIO is mapped by I/O address. As s igned SIO addres s es are 90 and 91 f or PO RT - A, and 92 and 93 f or
PORT-B. The output at pin 11 of I/O selector A07U30 is tied to pin 35 of the SOG. Bus AB1 is tied to SIO pin 34, and bus
ABO is tied to pin 33. These three inputs control SIO addressing.
The RS-232 control circuit consists of the baud-rate selector, level converter, and serial I/O controller. This circuit provides
the remote control operation. A simplified diagram of this stage is shown in Figure 4-11.
Baud-Rate Selector. The baud-rate selector circuit c onsists of a programm able bit-rate generator (A07U5), and a data
latch (A07U45).
Programmable bit-rate generator A07U5 supplies the receive and transmit clock signals to SIO PORT-B. This clock rate is
determined by the logic inputs on A07U5 pins 11, 12, 13, and 14 (S3 through S0, respectively).
The output positive-going edge at pin #13 of I/O selec tor A07U30 latches data at A07U45. This latched data (D7, D6, D5,
and D4) is supplied to the S3 through S0 inputs of A07U5.
The input clock rate f or A07U5 is the s am e as f or A07U6; 19.2K baud and external c lock for RS-232 are not us ed. (Ref er
to Table 4-10.)
Level Converter. The level converter stage consists of the RS-232 transmitter A07U41 and the RS-232 receiver A07U40.
Transmitter A07U41 converts TTL-level signals to RS-232 level, and receiver A07U40 converts RS-232 level signals to
TTL level.
RS-232 transmit signals (TXD, RTS, DTR) are controlled by SIO PORT-B. Receive signals (RXD, CTS, DSR, CD) are
controlled by the external device.
The DRS signal status appears at pin 11 of A07U32.
Serial I/O Controller. Refer to the Serial Acquisition section.
The CRT circuit provides the horizontal and vertical deflection currents and electr ode voltages for the CRT. A sim plified
diagram is shown in Figure 4-12.
Z-AXIS AMPLIFIER
The Z-Axis amplifier stage (A10Q100, A10Q110, A10Q120, A10R245, and A10R247) c ontrols the beam current of CRT
V200 to create the display on the screen. The Z-axis signal at the bas e of A10Q100 is compared with the DC voltage
(+1.4V) at the base of A10Q110, and the inverted output from the collector of A10Q100 is supplied to the cathode of V200.
The GLITCH signal at the base of A07Q120 switches the current of the diff erential amplif ier (A07Q100 and A07Q110). If
the GLITCH signal is high, A07Q120 is turned on. W hen A07Q120 is on, A07R110 and A07R124 are connected in
parallel and the emitter current of A07Q100 increases. A less-positive voltage at the cathode brightens the display, while a
more-positive voltage blanks it. The voltage at G1 of V200, supplied from potentiometers A07R245 and A07R247,
controls the brightness of the display.

HORIZONTAL SWEEP GENERATOR
The horizontal sweep generator stage consists of the horizontal amplif ier, damper, flyback transf ormer, and high-voltage
supply. Horizontal sweep current is generated by the combined operation of the horizontal amplif ier, dam per, and flyback
transformer.
To clarify this circuit’s operation, a simplif ied diagram and associated waveforms are shown in Figure 4-13. The CHD
(CRT Horizontal Drive) pulse is applied to the base of A10Q200, and the inverted CHD output is AC-coupled to the base of
A10Q220.

Theory of Operation-318/338 Service
Assume that A10Q220 is conduc ting just before TO and that the current 11 is passing through A10Q220. A10Q220 is
turned off at TO by the inverted CHD pulse. The energy stored in L140 and L150 is discharged through A10C230, causing
current 12. Current 12 charges up A10C230 to about + 45 volts at T 1. The stored energy in A10C230 is discharged
during the time interval T1 to T 2. Discharging cur rent 13 charges L140 and L150, caus ing the A10Q220 collector voltage
to go negative. When the A10Q220 collector voltage goes negative to more than -5 volts at T2, diode A10CR230
conducts. The stored energy in L140 and L150 is then discharged through A10CR230, and, at the beginning of T3,
through A10Q220. The discharging current decreases to zero at T4. Therefore, L140 and L150 st op discharging and are
charged again in the opposite direction by charging current I1.
Current I1 increases until A10Q220 is turned off again. The A10Q220 collector waveform is shown in Figure 4-13 as the
ideal waveform; the actual waveform may contain more noise. The c ollector voltage at A10Q220 is applied to the prim ary
winding of T230. This transformer provides voltages f or G1, G 2, and the anode input of the CRT . It also pr ovides voltage
for the Z-axis amplifier. A high-voltage multiplier is included in the flyback transformer box.
VERTICAL SWEEP GENERATOR
The vertical sweep generator stage cons ists of IC A10U001 which produces the sawtooth current for ver tical deflection in
yoke L150. The VD (Vertical Drive) signal’s 0.572 ms pulse triggers this circuit every 16.6 ms.
IC A10U001 consists of a triggerable astable multivibrator, sawtooth generator, and output amplifier.
The astable multivibrator’s tim e-c ons tant is deter mined by A10R002, A10R005, and A10C005, and locked by the VD pulse
at 16.6 ms. The output signal of the multivibrator generates a s awtooth signal when A10R010, A10R015, A10C010, and
A10C015 charge and discharge. The sawtooth signal is AC-coupled to pin 7 on A10U001. Amplifier A10U001 drives the
vertical deflection yoke L1 50.
318/338 All POWER SUPPLY <15> <16>
The power supply circuit provides the operating power for this instrument from the ac line-voltage source.
Figure 4-14 is a simplified block diagram of the power supply circuit.
LINE INPUT <15>
Power is applied through the line filter FL1, line fuse F1, power switch A12S1, and thermal cutout switch S3. The line filter
is designed to keep power-line interference from entering the instrum ent and to keep the approximately 50-kHz inverter
signal from entering the power line.
Line voltage selector switch S2 allows the instrument to operate from either a 115 or 230 volt nom inal line voltage sourc e.
In the 115V position, rectifier A11CR1 01 operates as a full-wave voltage doubler with energy-storage capacitors A11C121
and A11C122. The voltage across the two capacitors in series is the approximate peak-to-peak value of the 115 volt line.
For 230 volt operation, A11CR101 is connected as a bridge, supplying approximately the peak value of the 230 volt line.
Thus, the dc voltage applied to the inverter stage is about the same for either 115 or 230 volt operation.

Figure 4-14. 318/338 Simplified diagram of the power supply circuit.
Thermistors A11RT101 and A11RT102 limit the surge current when the power supply is first turned on. After the
instrument is in operation, the res istance of the thermis tors decreases so that they have little effec t on the circ uit. W hen
the instrument is turned off , the Inverter Control stage turns off the inverter, preventing it from discharging A11C121 and
A11C122; A11C121 and A11C122 discharge slowly, through A11R121 and A11R122, to allow for thermistor thermal
recovery. This ensures sufficient therm istor resistance to lim it the turn-on surge current to a saf e level. Since A11C121
and A11C122 discharge slowly, dangerous voltages exist within the power supply for several minutes af ter the POWER
switch is turned off.
Varistors A11VR101 and A11VR102 are surge voltage protectors. If a peak voltage greater than 240 volts is present on
the line, A11VR101 and A11VR102 will conduct and quickly open line fuse F1 to interrupt the input power before the
instrument can be damaged.
INVERTER START NETWORK <15>
Capacitor A11C132 is charged by a constant current source, made up of A11Q131, A11VR131, and A11R132. When the
charge of A11C132 reaches the voltage level set by A11VR135, A11CR138, and the base-emitter voltage of A1Q135,
transistors A11Q135, A11Q134, A11Q140, A11Q139, and switching transistor A11Q149 are turned on, A11C132 is
discharged, and energy-storage capacitor A11C155 for A12U21 <16> and A12U1 <16> is charged. W hen the charge on
A1C155 reaches the voltage level required to start A12U21, A12U21 charges A1C143 through A11T140. T his causes
transistor A11Q141 to turn on and A11Q131 to turn off. This disables the inverter start network after the instrument is on.

INVERTER CONTROL <16>
The inverter control stage, made up primarily of A12U21, provides voltage regulation, a dead- time controller, and a cu rr ent
limiter. For regulation purposes, A12U21 varies the hold-off time of the Inverter Switching transistor. Under normal
operating conditions, only pin 2 of A12U21 controls the hold-off time. However, either the dead-time controller or the
current limiter can ffect the hold-off time, or stop the inverter operation altogether. The operation of each individual
function of the inverter control stage is described in the following paragraphs.
Regulator. A12U21 acts as a pulse width modulator to regulate the inverter circuitr y. It runs the inverter at a constant
frequency and regulates by changing the duty factor of the inverter signal. This is accomplished as follows:
At the beginning of the inverter cycle, A12U21 pins 9 and 10 go high, turning on A12Q34. This provides bas e drive for A1
1Q149 through A11T140. When A12U21 senses that the - 5 V supply has gone below -5 V (via divider network A12R17,
A12R18, and A12R23 to A12U21 pin 2) pins 9 and 10 go low, turning off A12Q32 and thus removing r emoving the base
drive to A11Q149 and stopping the inverter. A11Q149 stays off until the beginning of the next inverter cycle.
The rest of the power supplies have their own regulation circuitry, which are indirectly controlled by the inverter c ircuitry.
The -5 V supply is directly regulated by the inverter regulator; the -5 V supply then regulates the "unregulated" supplies f or
the rest of the voltages.
Dead Time Controller. The dead-time controller function of A12U21 protects the power-supply components from
damage due to excessive cur rent or voltage. During normal operation, the voltage at pin 4 of A12U21 remains at about
1.5 volts. If the Under/Over Voltage Stop stage turns on, A12U21 pin 4 voltage r ises to about 5 volts, and the inverter
stops. The inverter will remain off while A12C53 discharges through al 2Q58, k eeping A12VR58 and A12Q59 turned off.
This cycle repeats until the fault is corrected, with the inverter turned on for about 200 ms, and turned off for about 200 ms.
OVER/UNDER VOLTAGE PROTECTION <16>
Whenever the any of the regulated voltages goes out of its specified voltage window the output of A12U51C (for overly
positive voltages) or A12U51D (for overly negative voltages) goes low, causing a12U51 B pin 2 to go low. This c auses
A12U51 A pin 1 to go low, which turns off A12Q57, turns on A12Q32, and turns off A12Q 33. This allows A12U21 pin 4
(Dead Time) to go high, and thereby shuts off the inverter. A12Q58, A12Q59, and A12C58 hold the inverting input of Al
2U51 A (pin 6) high until the supply voltage is back within its voltage window. At this tim e, A12Q58 turns on, dis charging
the A12R58, A12C58 combination, which allows pin 6 of A12U51 A to go low, thus pulling A12U21 pin 4 (Dead T im e) low,
and thereby restarting the inverter.
LOW VOLTAGE RECTIFIERS AND REGULATORS <16>
+12 Volt and -12 Volt Supplies. The rectifier s and the filter c omponents ar e connected to secondary winding. Regulators
A12U91 and A12U92 provide rectified, regulated positive and negative voltage.
-3.3 Volt Supply. A12U71 is a regulator. If the -3.3 volt supply output is too high, the voltage at pin 5 of A12U71
decreases and the current at pin 9 of A12U71 dec reases; that is, the base c urrent of A12Q 73 decreases, thus the output
voltage of the -3.3 volt supply is decreased. Transistor A12Q71, A12R80, and A12R81 together form the current protector.
If the -3.3 volt supply is shorted, the voltage on A12R80 and A1 2R81 (over-current sensing r esistors) goes high; A12Q71
is turned on, and A12Q73 is turned off.
