CH1/2/3
Controller The Controller for Channel 1, 2, and 3 takes care of
the interface between SPD-3606 and users. Several
sub-units comprise the Controller, including:
• Feedback control unit
• OVP setting unit
• Fan control unit
Detailed description of each unit follows.
Feedback control
unit The Feedback control unit receives the control
signal for Voltage/Current output level and the
level feedback signal from the actual output. The
difference between the two signals are amplified
and used as the control signal for the Power stage
to achieve stable output level.
OVP setting unit The SVR (small variable resistor) sets the
protection point so that the OVP setting unit shuts
down the output when the output Voltage level
exceeds the configured level.
Fan control unit Using NTC (negative temperature coefficient)
resistor, the Fan control unit changes the control
Voltage for the cooling fan according to the
temperature change, achieving low-noise and
linear speed control.
Tracking
Controller The Tracking controller controls Channel 2 output
level when in tracking series or parallel mode. In
tracking series mode, Channel2 output Voltage is
controlled by Channel1 output Voltage level. In
tracking parallel mode, Channel2 output Current
is controlled by Channel1 output Current level.
LED Display The LED display shows the Channel 1/2/3 output
Voltage/Current level. The A/D converter
changes the analog signal coming from each
channel into digital format to be displayed.
