It seems I have a bunch of surplus 12V transformers in my office, so probably will use two of those to generate the +8V and -5V with bridge rectifiers.

Overview

Psu is an open-source printed circuit board by eshazen, from the eshazen/scope-clock repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 177.8 × 114.3 mm with 66 parts on 48 nets, routed with 283 tracks and 4 vias.

It is built around the PR16-12V-540-2C. Its parts include 15 capacitors, 14 connectors, 13 resistors, 13 diodes and 2 switches. It belongs with the power boards of this library.

Power Supply

Status

2023-02-23 Mostly working. Relay wiring incorrect (see ECOs). Otherwise all outputs verified working, at least with no load.

Rev A ECOs

  • C13 should be much bigger, maybe 4700uF
  • Bridge footprints are wrong (holes way too small)
  • Relay wiring is incorrect
  • Can't use the S4 or S6 outputs of the CW multipler, only S5, S7. Maybe add an S3 tap? In any case, fix J14 wiring.

Requirements

  • AC power entry, fuse, power switch
  • +8V for logic (~1A) regulator on CPU board makes 5V for DAC (Antek 6.3V winding too wimpy)
  • -5V for Z axis drive (low current). Should be regulated
  • 8-stage CW generator for -1500V
    • Jumpers to select output voltage
    • Discharge circuit for power-down
  • Voltage doubler for +360V with two-stage R-C filter (200 ohm, 100uF or so)
  • Switched AC out (2x?) for 12V filament transfomer plus spare

It seems I have a bunch of surplus 12V transformers in my office, so probably will use two of those to generate the +8V and -5V with bridge rectifiers.

ECOs for Rev 1

  • Relay wiring wrong. Cut traces to J1 pins 1,3. Wire pin 1 to Relay pin 11 and pin 3 to relay pin 12. (leave gap in cut, ~180VAC)
  • Add bleeder on 360V! (ouch!)

Questions

How big is the Psu PCB?

It measures 177.8 × 114.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Psu use?

66 parts, built around the PR16-12V-540-2C. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Psu KiCad files?

From the eshazen/scope-clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/psu/psu.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/anderson_crt/anderson_crt.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Psu design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask eshazen before reusing the design.
