amplifiers.
The motor driver PCA may be functionally divided into two circuit sections:
Current amplifier circuit for each of four motor phase
drive signals (X-sine, X-cosine, Y-sine, and Y-cosine)
Pen relay drive amplifiers
NOTE
Except for the addition of a GAIN control to the X- and Y-sine amplifier
circuit, the four amplifier circuits are identical. Consequently, only
the X-sine amplifier will be described here.
( 1 ) C u r r e n t a m p l i f i e r c i r c u i t . T h e selected output of the motor phase ampli-
fier, located on PCA A5, is coupled into its respective amplifier circuit through
c o n n e c t o r J 5 . A separate mute switch is provided for each axis to disconnect the
input to the amplifier to enable service and calibration.
In each phase, the first
amplifier stage (U1 and U2) functions as an active low pass filter with a cutoff
p o i n t a t 6 0 0 H z . A s s u m i n g the sine amplifier has been selected, the motor drive
signal is applied to the input of active filter U1. The setting of GAIN control R6
determines the amplitude of the input motor drive signal that is applied to the
inverting input of operational amplifier (filter) U1. Offset control R8 determines
the zero or reference level for the output of U1.

at U1 is positive, it causes transistors Q1 and Q3 to conduct, resulting in a
proportional positive output through connector J1-6 to power transistors Q5 and Q6

Resistor R11 acts as a motor current sense resistor.
NOTE
It is across this current sense resistor that the action of the circuit
and the effect of the circuit control adjustments can be best measured.
W h e n the polarity of the output of U1 is negative, it causes transistors Q2 and Q4
to conduct, resulting in a proportional negative output to connector J1-6 and the
T h e motor sine winding is thus driven in
power transistors Q5 and Q6 on PCA A12.
