Introduction  
1-1.  
The Fluke 5725A Amplifier enhances the 5700A Calibrator in the ac voltage, ac current,  
and dc current functions. The 5725A operates under complete control of the 5700A  
through an interface cable supplied with the 5725A.  
A diagram in the specifications tables at the end of this section illustrates the extended ac  
volt-hertz product achieved by using a 5725A. Increased ac voltage load limits allow  
using the 5700A Calibrator in systems with long cables.  
Voltage output from the 5725A is available at the 5700A Calibrator front or rear binding  
posts. This eliminates the need to move cables during a procedure that requires amplified  
as well as standard calibrator outputs.  
The 5725A front or rear panel OUTPUT binding posts are only for current output.  
Extended-range ac and dc current is supplied through them. Since most meters with a  
high current range use a separate high current input terminal, this configuration normally  
eliminates the need to move cables during a procedure. If a single-point current output is  
needed, the 5700A Calibrator can be configured to source all current outputs through the  
5725A binding posts.  
Enhancements to 5700A ac voltage output capability provided by the 5725A are as  
follows:  
Frequency limits at higher voltage increase to 100 kHz at 750V, 30 kHz at 1100V.  
Load limits are to 70 mA for frequencies above 5 kHz, and to 50 mA for frequencies  
less than 5 kHz.  
Capacitive load limits are increased to 1000 pF.  
Model 5725A operating functions and ranges are as follows:  
AC voltage: 220 to 1100V rms up to 70 mA (50 mA < 5 kHz), 40 Hz to 30 kHz; 220  
to 750V rms up to 70 mA, 30 kHz to 100 kHz  
DC current: 0 to ±11A  
AC current: 1 to 11A rms, 40 Hz to 10 kHz

Instruction Manual  
Where to Go From Here  
1-2.  
This manual is the operator and service manual for the 5725A. However, because the  
5725A operates under the control of the 5700A Calibrator, most operating instructions  
for the 5725A are in the 5700A manuals. Topics such as selecting output values,  
connecting to a UUT (Unit Under Test), and self calibration are covered in the 5700A  
Operator Manual. The list below gives some specific pointers, and the text further on  
describes how to use all the manuals to find 5725A information.

How to Use the Manuals  
1-3.  
The following paragraphs describe how each manual addresses the 5725A.  
5725A Instruction Manual  
1-4.  
Use the 5725A Instruction Manual for installing the 5725A, learning about its front and  
rear panel features, and for all service-related topics such as maintenance,  
troubleshooting, parts lists, and schematics. (The 5725A Instruction Manual is the  
service and operator manual for the 5725A.)  
Although the instruction manual also contains a section devoted to 5725A operating  
notes, once the 5725A is up and running you will find that the 5700A Operator Manual  
contains most of the information you need to operate the 5725A.  
5700A Operator Manual  
1-5.  
The 5700A Operator Manual contains the following information pertaining to the  
5725A:  
Specifications for both the 5700A and 5725A (these same specifications are in this  
Instruction Manual)  
Cable connections to a UUT for amplified voltage and current  
Front panel (local) operation  
Remote control operation, IEEE-488 or RS-232  
Self calibration  
Fault codes (these appear on the 5700A Control Display, or are read from the 5700A  
in remote control operation)  
Calibration constant symbolic names  
Glossary of calibration-related terms  
The 5700A Operator Manual comes with two pocket-sized booklets: one for front panel  
operation and one for remote programming.  
5700A Operator Reference Guide  
1-6.  
The 5700A Operator Reference Guide contains a summary of operating instructions  
from the Operator Manual. This booklet contains information needed to start up and  
operate the 5700A, but since the 5700A controls the 5725A, much of this information  
applies to the 5725A. The booklet is included in the binder with the 5700A Operator  
Manual.  
5700A Remote Programming Reference Guide  
1-7.  
The 5700A Remote Programming Reference Guide contains a summary of remote  
commands for the 5700A. It also contains information needed to determine system status  
using the status byte and registers. Remote commands and system status apply to a  
5725A under control of the 5700A. This booklet is also included in the binder with  
5700A Operator Manual.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
5700A Service Manual  
1-8.  
The 5700A Service Manual is a maintenance guide for the 5700A. The following 5725A  
topics are included in the 5700A Service Manual:  
Specifications for both the 5700A and 5725A (these same specifications are in this  
Instruction Manual)  
Full verification of the 5700A and 5725A (recommended every two years)  
Calibration of the 5700A and 5725A (same procedure as in the 5700A Operator  
Manual)  
Specifications  
1-9.  
Specifications are valid after allowing a warm-up period of 30 minutes, or if the 5725A  
has been recently on, twice the time the 5725A has been turned off. For example, if the  
5725A has been turned off for five minutes, the warm-up period is ten minutes.  
Absolute uncertainty includes stability, temperature coefficient, linearity, line and load  
regulation, and traceability to external standards. You do not need to add anything to  
absolute uncertainty to determine the ratios between 5700A/5725A uncertainties and the  
uncertainties of your calibration workload.  
Relative uncertainty specifications are provided for enhanced accuracy applications.  
These specifications apply when range constants are adjusted (see "Range Calibration"  
in the 5700A Operator Manual). To calculate absolute uncertainty, you must combine  
the uncertainties of your external standards and techniques with relative uncertainty.  
Secondary performance specifications and operating characteristics are included in the  
uncertainty specifications. They are also provided separately for special calibration  
requirements such as stability or linearity testing.

Notes:  
1. Specifications apply to displayed value. 4-wire connections, except 100 m.  
2. Temperature coefficient is an adder to uncertainty specifications that does not apply unless operated more than 5°C from calibration  
temperature, or calibrated outside the range 19°C to 24°C. Two examples:  
a) Calibrate at 20°C: Temperature coefficient adder is not required unless operated below 15°C or above 25°C.  
b) Calibrate at 26°C: Add 2°C temperature coefficient adder. Additional temperature coefficient adder is not required unless operated below  
21°C or above 31°C.  
3. Refer to current derating factors table for loads outside of this range.  
4. Active two-wire compensation may be selected for values less than 100 k, with either the front panel or the meter input terminals as  
reference plane. Active compensation is limited to 11 mA load, and to 2V burden. Two wire compensation can be used only with meters that  
source continuous (not pulsed) dc current.

Notes:  
1. For I<IL, errors occur due to thermally generated voltages within the 5700A. Use the following equation to determine the error, and add  
this error to the corresponding UNCERTAINTY or STABILITY specification.  
Error = K(IL - I)/(IL X I)  
Where: Error is in mfor all TWO-WIRE COMP values and FOUR-WIRE SHORT, and in ppm for the remaining FOUR-WIRE values.  
K is the constant from the above table;  
I and IL are expressed in mA for SHORT to 1.9 k;  
I and IL are expressed in µA for 10 kto 100 MΩ  
2. For IU<I<IMAX errors occur due to self-heating of the resistors in the 5700A. Use the following equation to determine the error in ppm and  
add this error to the corresponding UNCERTAINTY or STABILITY specification.  
2
Error in ppm = K(I2-IU )  
Where: K is the constant from the above table;  
I and IU are expressed in mA for SHORT to 19 k;  
I and IU are expressed in µA for 100 kto 100 MΩ

Service Information  
2-3.  
Each 5725A Amplifier is warranted to the original purchaser for a period of one year  
beginning on the date received. The warranty is located at the front of this manual.  
Factory-authorized service and technical advice for the 5725A is available at Fluke  
Service Centers. Section 8 contains a list of Service Centers.  
Warning  
Servicing described in this manual is to be done by qualified  
service personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not  
service the 5725A unless you are qualified to do so.  
The owner may choose to repair a 5725A using the troubleshooting information in  
Section 7 to isolate a faulty module, then use the Module Exchange Program. Refer to  
the Fluke catalog or contact a Service Center representative for the module exchange  
procedure.  
Placement and Rack Mounting  
2-4.  
You can stack the 5725A on top of or below the 5700A Calibrator. (Choose the  
configuration that provides the easiest access to the 5700A Calibrator controls.) Or, you  
can mount the 5725A in a standard-width, 24-inch (61-cm) deep equipment rack. For  
bench-top stacking, the 5725A is equipped with non-skid feet. To mount the 5725A in an  
equipment rack, order the accessory 5725A Rack Mount Kit, Model Y5735. An  
instruction sheet is packed with the kit.  
Caution  
Use only the rack mount slides included in the Y5735 kit. Rack  
mount slides intended for other instruments can block the side  
ventilation holes on the 5725A and cause overheating.  
Cooling Considerations  
2-5.  
Caution  
Damage caused by overheating may occur if the area around  
the air intake is restricted, the intake air is too warm, or the fan  
filter becomes clogged.  
Accuracy and dependability of all internal parts of the 5725A are enhanced by  
maintaining the coolest possible internal temperature. By observing the following rules  
you can lengthen the life of the 5725A:  
The area around the fan filter must be at least 3 inches from nearby walls or rack  
enclosures.  
Exhaust perforations on the sides of the 5725A must be clear of obstructions. Most  
of the heat exits from the side vents near the front.  
Air entering the instrument must be room temperature. Make sure that exhaust from  
another instrument is not directed into the fan inlet.  
Clean the fan filter every 30 days, or more frequently if the 5725A is operated in a  
dusty environment. (Instructions for cleaning the fan filter are in Section 6.)

Selecting Line Voltage  
2-7.  
The 5725A arrives from the factory configured for the line voltage normally appropriate  
for the country of purchase, or as specified at the time of purchase. Check the line power  
label on the rear panel of the 5725A to verify that the line voltage matches local line  
power. Figure 2-3 shows the location of the line power label and switches, and the  
switch settings for each line voltage.  
The 5725A can be set to operate from eight different nominal line voltages; each voltage  
setting has a voltage tolerance of ±10% and a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz. The line  
voltage switches are located on the bottom left side of the rear panel.  
To change the line voltage setting, set the line voltage selection switches to the correct  
setting shown in Figure 2-3.

Instruction Manual  
Turning on the 5725A Amplifier  
3-4.  
Warning  
To avoid electric shock, make sure the 5725A is safely  
grounded as described in section 2.  
Caution  
Before turning the 5725A on, make sure that the line voltage  
selection switches are set properly for your line voltage. Refer  
to Figure 2-3 or the line voltage switch label and check the line  
voltage setting now if you have not already done so.  
When you turn on the 5725A, all six front panel indicators light briefly and the 5725A  
undergoes a self test. If the self test fails, a fault message on the 5700A Control Display  
identifies the failure, indicating that you should service the 5725A.  
After the 5725A passes its self test, it transfers its calibration constants to the 5700A.  
During the transfer, the BOOST indicator on the 5700A flashes. For the few seconds that  
the BOOST indicator is flashing, the 5725A is not usable. After the transfer is complete,  
the 5725A is in standby mode. (See "5725A Operating Functions and Modes" for more  
information about standby mode.)  
Warm Up  
3-5.  
When you turn on a cold 5725A, warm it up for 30 minutes to allow the components  
inside to stabilize. This ensures that the 5725A meets or exceeds the specifications listed  
in Section 1.  
If you turn off the 5725A after it has warmed up, allow it to warm up again for at least  
twice the length of time it was turned off (up to a maximum of 30 minutes of warm-up).  
For example, if the 5725A is turned off for 10 minutes, allow it to warm up again for at  
least 20 minutes.

Warning  
Both the 5700A and 5725A can produce fatal voltages. boosted  
voltage operation produces high voltage at higher current  
levels than normally available from the 5700A. during 5725A  
voltage operation, the potential risk of injury or fatal accident is  
greater than during unamplified 5700A voltage operation.  
The 5725A has five normal modes of operation, including active output in its three  
output functions: ac voltage, dc current, and ac current. The five normal operating modes  
are:  
Standby (also referred to as "dormant" on the schematics)

Warning  
Both the 5700A and 5725A can produce fatal voltages. boosted  
voltage operation produces high voltage at higher current  
levels than normally available from the 5700A. during voltage  
operation, the potential risk of injury or fatal accident is greater  
than during normal operation.  
Voltage operate mode is when only the VOLTAGE MODE indicator is lit. In voltage  
operate mode, amplified voltage output is available at the 5700A binding posts. Voltage  
operate occurs if "5725A" is selected in a 5700A setup menu as the voltage amplifier,  
and the next two conditions are true:  
An ac voltage 220V or above is showing on the 5700A Output Display with the  
OPERATE annunciator lit.  
The BOOST indicator on the 5700A is lit.  
Note  
If condition 1 is true, the BOOST indicator can be toggled on and off by  
pressing the 5700A BOOST key. If the BOOST indicator is off, then the  
5725A is in standby mode.  
Note  
Under certain settings of ac voltage, especially high voltage between 1 to 5  
kHz, a whine from the 5725A is audible. This originates from the output  
transformer, and is normal.

Note  
An overcompliance fault occurs if a low-resistance load is not connected to  
the enabled 5725A binding posts when entering current operate mode.  
Current operate mode is when only the CURRENT MODE indicator is lit. In current  
operate mode, current output (either 5725A amplified current or redirected 5700A  
current) is available at the 5725A binding posts. Current operate occurs under the  
following conditions:

Conditions That Activate the 5725A  
3-12.  
When the 5725A is connected to the 5700A, and is selected as the amplifier for the  
active output function, it supplies an output under the conditions shown in the following  
list. (These conditions are the same as VOLTAGE OPERATE and CURRENT  
OPERATE as previously described.)  
Whenever current above 2.2A is selected and the 5700A is set to operate. (Output  
available at the 5725A binding posts.)  
Whenever ac voltage in the 220-1100V range is selected and the 5700A is set to  
operate. Note that the 5725A takes over the 1100V ac range of the 5700A if the  
5725A is selected as the voltage amplifier in a setup menu. (Output available at the  
5700A binding posts.)  
Whenever the 5700A BOOST key is toggled on while the 5700A output setting is in  
the operating range of the 5725A, voltage or current. (Output location is 5725A for  
current, 5700A for voltage.)  
If the "Range" softkey is set to "LOCKED" while supplying a current greater than  
2.2A, then the 5725A stays active if the 5700A output setting is adjusted down to 0A  
dc, or down to 1A ac. (Output available at the 5725A binding posts.)  
Regardless of the "BOOST AMP TYPES" setting in the 5700A setup menus, all  
unamplified 5700A current is supplied through the 5725A binding posts when, on the  
5700A, the current output location is set to "5725A"; the 5700A output is set to any ac or  
dc current level; and the 5700A OPERATE annunciator is lit.

Theory of Operation  
Introduction

Introduction  
4-1.  
This section presents theory of operation in increasing level of detail. The 5725A  
Amplifier is first broadly defined in an overall functional description and block diagram.  
The overall functional description continues in more detail with functional descriptions  
by function (ac V, dc I, ac I, and standby). The overall picture is completed with a  
detailed discussion of how the 5700A and 5725A communicate. The largest part of this  
section is devoted to detailed component-level circuit descriptions, grouped by assembly.  
Warning  
Lethal voltage (±500V) appears on the internal heat sink  
assemblies, and at many other points inside the 5725A chassis.  
Do not open the 5725A cover without referring to the access  
procedures and warnings in section 6. Theory text in this  
section is here strictly for the purpose of describing how  
circuits work, and contains no access procedures.  
Overall Functional Description  
4-2.  
The 5725A provides three primary functions for the 5700A Calibrator:  
Extended frequency range for high ac voltage  
High-range dc current  
High-range ac current  
The 5725A also has a secondary function of sourcing all 5700A current outputs (without  
the 5700A Current guard) through its own binding posts, if so selected at the 5700A  
front panel controls. Refer to Figure 4-1, the overall block diagram of the 5725A, for this  
discussion. Each 5725A function is described briefly next.  
1100V AC Function:  
The 1100V ac function can output 220 to 1100V, 40 Hz to 30 kHz; and 220 to 750V,  
30 kHz to 100 kHz. The 1100V ac function is implemented with a gain of -100  
amplifier. Input for the ac voltage function comes from the 5700A Oscillator,  
spanning the range of 2.2 to 11V. The 5725A returns an oscillator sense voltage of  
precisely -1/100 of the output voltage to the 5700A. Voltage outputs go through the  
5725A/5700A interconnect cable to either the 5700A front or rear panel OUTPUT  
binding posts.

Theory of Operation  
Overall Functional Description

11A DC Function:  
The 11A dc function is implemented with a transconductance (voltage in/current  
out) amplifier with a gain of -5. If the 5700A outputs -2V into the 5725A, the 5725A  
output is 10A. (This is transparent to the user.) The output range is 0 to 11A. The  
5725A delivers amplified current to either the front or rear panel binding posts of the  
5725A, depending on an internal hardware setup. Reconfiguration requires removing  
the covers, and is described in Section 6.  
11A AC Function  
The 11A ac function is similar to the 11A dc function. The frequency range is 40 Hz  
to 10 kHz. The output range is 1 to 11A rms. As in the dc current function, all  
outputs from the 5725A either go through the front or rear panel of the 5725A. Input  
to the 5725A comes from the 5700A Oscillator assembly.  
1100V AC Range Functional Description  
4-3.  
The 5700A Oscillator assembly generates the driving ac voltage, then sends it to the  
5725A Power Amplifier for amplification. The 5725A returns an attenuated feedback  
voltage for output correction. The final output voltage is kept accurate by the high  
voltage sense amplifier and a real-time, software-controlled feedback loop within the  
5700A, incorporating a 5700A ac/dc thermal rms converter. The 5700A Oscillator, DAC  
(digital-to-analog converter), and ac/dc thermal rms converter work together with the  
5725A Power Amplifier and high voltage attenuator circuits to produce the desired  
output.  
Active assemblies in the 5725A ac voltage function are as follows:  
In the 5700A: CPU, DAC, Oscillator, Oscillator Control, High-Resolution  
Oscillator, Switch Matrix, Motherboard, Rear Panel assemblies.  
In the 5725A: CPU, High Voltage Amplifier, High Voltage Sense, Signal  
Transformer, Power Supply, Digital, and Interconnect assemblies.  
When an ac voltage in the 220 to 1100V range is selected, the 5700A calls the 5725A  
amplifier and leaves its own high voltage amplifier dormant. The 5725A takes over the  
1100V ac range automatically. The 5725A produces ac voltage in the following  
sequence:  
1. The 5700A sets the Oscillator assembly to the proper frequency and amplitude. The  
5700A sets the initial amplitude using an 8-bit resistive hybrid dac located on the  
Oscillator amplifier assembly, yielding an Oscillator output accuracy of about 0.5%.  
2. Next, the 5725A Power Amplifier amplifies this signal by -100 and returns an  
accurately attenuated signal to the 5700A.  
3. The 5700A thermal sensor and adc (analog-to-digital converter) monitoring system  
fine tune the Oscillator amplitude. The DAC assembly output is switched directly to  
the Oscillator assembly, controlling the dac output amplitude. AC voltage calibration  
constants stored in the 5725A determine the 5700A DAC voltage setting.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
The 5700A/5725A system uses the following method for ac amplitude control:  
1. An rms thermal sensor alternately measures two signals: an unknown but adjustable  
ac signal, and a known calibrated dc signal.  
2. The output of the thermal sensor is measured by the adc, allowing settling time for  
the sensor each time its input is changed. The ac signal is adjusted until the thermal  
sensor output is the same for both signals. Thus, the dc voltage at the output of the  
thermal sensor is not important, but differences in the dc voltage when the sensor  
input is switched between the ac variable and dc reference are important.  
To ensure safe, reliable operation, the High Voltage Amplifier is turned on in the  
following sequence:  
1. The 5700A Oscillator is set to the 22V range and its output is channeled to the  
5725A High Voltage Amplifier on line BOOST IN.  
2. Then the output of the High Voltage Amplifier is connected to the appropriate high  
voltage step-up transformer (one of three).  
11A Range Functional Description  
4-4.  
The 5725A Current Amplifier is a transconductance amplifier that has a compliance  
voltage of 3.0V rms for the ac current function and 4.0V for the dc current function. The  
transconductance amplifier has a gain of -5 (e.g., 1V in gives -5A out). Either the 5700A  
2V range for dc operation, or the Oscillator for ac operation, drives the transconductance  
amplifier. Input voltage to the transconductance amplifier comes in on BOOST IN (for  
ac current) or B-FEEDBACK (for dc current) and enters the High Voltage Sense  
assembly. From there it is routed to the error amplifier on the Current assembly  
whenever the 5725A is in the current function. The B-FEEDBACK line returns the  
current calibration amplifier output to OSC SENSE HI during ac current operation.  
The following assemblies are active in the 5725A current function:  
In the 5700A: CPU, DAC, Oscillator, Switch Matrix, Motherboard, Rear Panel  
assemblies. (Plus the Oscillator assembly in the ac current function.)  
In the 5725A: CPU, Current, High Voltage Sense, Digital, and Power Supply.

Theory of Operation  
Overall Functional Description  
4
Operation in the 11A DC Range  
4-5.  
For the dc current function, the 5700A is configured for the dc 2.2V range. The 5700A  
2V dc range drives an error amplifier with an input impedance of 40 k. The gain of this  
amplifier is determined by this 40 kresistor with a 4 kfeedback resistor, and the  
value of the precision shunt. The 5725A uses a 0.02shunt for the 11A function. There  
is no feedback to the 5700A.  
The 5725A monitors the error amplifier output voltage using the 16-channel multiplexer.  
One channel of the multiplexer, ICOMPL M, is scanned every 30 milliseconds or faster,  
with its output compared to -2V from the DAC. If the peak error amplifier output is  
more negative than the dac voltage, MONCOMP goes LOW and is read by bit 6 of port  
5 of U507, the CPU. This indicates an overload condition, and lights the OVERLOAD  
LED. If a later scan shows the same result, the CPU trips the Current Amplifier into  
standby and reports this condition to the 5700A.  
A soft-start from standby to operate transitions reduces sudden current changes. This  
allows the 5725A to drive inductive loads such as power meters and clamp-on type  
current probes.  
Operation in the 11A AC Range  
4-6.  
For ac current operation, input to the 5725A comes from the 5700A Oscillator. The  
5700A Oscillator is configured for the 2.2V ac range, with sensing back to the 5700A  
Oscillator coming from the current shunt through the calibration amplifier circuit (on the  
Current Assembly).  
Voltage and Current Standby Modes  
4-7.  
When a change in output function is selected, the 5725A goes through voltage or current  
standby mode before connecting the output to the 5725A binding posts, or to the 5700A.  
Voltage or current standby allows for local sensing within the 5725A, and for  
establishment of a known input condition in current and ac voltage.  
Voltage Standby  
4-8.  
In voltage standby, the 5700A binding posts are completely disconnected from the rest  
of the instrument circuitry, and the 5725A high voltage output and sense lines (B-OUT  
HI and B-SENSE HI) are disconnected from the 5725A/5700A connector. The High  
Voltage Amplifier remains powered from the high voltage supply, but its input is  
grounded by pulling CLAMPD, and its output (MV OUT) is disconnected from the  
output transformers. Analog monitor circuitry continues to check the voltage and current  
on the high voltage supplies as well as the heat sink temperatures and cable integrity. It  
prevents the 5725A from switching to operate if a fault is present.  
Current Standby  
4-9.  
In current standby, the binding posts are disconnected from the instrument circuitry, but  
all 5725A/5700A connections are made as in the operate mode. In dc current standby,  
the 5700A DAC supplies a voltage that corresponds to the dc current selected. In ac  
current standby, 5725A relay settings are identical to those for dc current standby. The  
5700A Oscillator supplies an ac voltage level that corresponds to the selected output  
current and frequency.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
How the 5700A and 5725A Communicate  
4-10.  
The 5725A and 5700A maintain all analog and digital communication over an external  
cable connected to subminiature D-type connectors on the back of each instrument. All  
in-guard (analog) signals, except B-VGRD, connect to relays that isolate the 5725A and  
5700A whenever the 5725A is not in use.  
Digital communication occurs over five out-guard (digital) 5700A lines, B-SCT, B-SCR,  
B+5V, B+5VCOM, and B-CINT*. The B+5V and B+5VCOM lines power the 5725A  
guard crossing and allow the 5725A to detect when the cable is disconnected. Lines B-  
SCT and B-SCR provide serial communication of data over an RS-232 type line.  
Optoisolators on the 5725A maintain the integrity of the guard. Line B-CINT* is a  
hardwire loop that allows the 5700A to detect a cable off or 5725A power off condition.  
Description of the Out-Guard Lines (5725A Side)  
4-11.  
The following list describes the five 5725A out-guard lines:  
B-RCV (Serial Communication Receive)  
Receives serial data from the 5700A; connects to the B-SCT line of the 5700A.  
B-XMIT (Serial Communication Transmit)  
Transmits serial data to the 5700A; connects to the B-SCR line of the 5700A.  
B+5V  
5700A out-guard supply that powers optoisolators and 5725A CABLEOFF relay.  
B+5VCOM  
5700A out-guard supply common for above.  
B-CINT* (Boost Cable Interlock)  
Hardwire "loop around system" on the 5725A that is polled at least every 100 ms by  
the 5700A to determine if the 5700A/5725A cable is connected and if the 5725A is  
turned on. Returns a low to the 5700A if above is true. A pull-up resistor on the  
5700A leaves this line high if the interconnect cable is open or if the 5725A is turned  
off.

Description of the In-Guard Lines  
4-12.  
The following list describes the 11 5725A in-guard lines:  
B-RCL  
High-quality analog line from the 5725A which carries critical signals to be  
measured by the 5700A adc during either 5725A calibration or 5725A self  
diagnostics. During calibration, these signals are ICAL (output of the current  
calibration amplifier), HVSENSE (DC output of the sense amplifier during dc gain  
ac characterization), AC/AC (buffered output of the 5725A thermal rms sensor that  
does frequency characterization).  
B-OUT HI  
High voltage output from the 5725A step-up transformers, to be routed to either the  
5700A front or rear panel terminals.  
B-SENSE HI  
High voltage sense line from the 5700A output terminals. This signal is then  
attenuated -100:1 by the High Voltage Sense assembly.  
BOOST IN  
During normal 5725A ac operation, carries the 5700A DAC outputs, which in turn  
drives either the High Voltage Amplifier or Current Amplifier. During 5725A  
calibration, BOOST IN drives the High Voltage Sense assembly with up to -260V  
from the 5700A Power Amplifier.  
B-CURRENT  
Analog line that carries the current high output from the 5700A. When the user sets  
the current output location to "5725A" in a 5700A menu, this signal is routed to the  
5725A binding posts. Under this operating condition, all 5700A/5725A current  
ranges are available from the same binding posts. Line B-CURRENT carries up to  
2.2A in normal operation. During current calibration, this line carries 1.3A to

B-IRTN  
Current return for B-CURRENT; carries up to 2.2A. Line B-IRTN eventually ties to  
the same node as SCOM on the 5700A.  
B-IGRD

5700A guard. Enables discrete guarding/shielding within the 5725A.  
B-PACOM  
System common from the 5700A. Once inside the 5725A, it becomes VCOM,  
HVCOM, DCOM, and KCOM. B-PACOM is the current return for signals from the  
5700A, including source current for driving the 5725A in the ac voltage function.  
Current output from the 5700A, when "5725A" is selected as the current output  
location, returns via B-IRTN.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
Inside the 5725A, B-SENSE LO is buffered by the 5725A, with the equivalent  
voltage called MCOM.  
B-FEEDBACK  
During ac voltage operation, B-FEEDBACK is the output of the High Voltage Sense  
assembly; this signal represents B-SENSE HI divided by -100, and drives the 5700A  
ac/dc thermal sensor. During low-frequency ac voltage calibration, this is the sense  
path for the -260V dc from the 5700A Power Amplifier.  
During ac current operation, B-FEEDBACK is the output of the current calibration  
amplifier. It represents the output current divided by -5 and drives the 5700A  
Oscillator feedback.  
During dc current operation, voltage from the 5700A 2V dc range is fed to the  
5725A on B-FEEDBACK.  
If B-FEEDBACK is out of tolerance during 5725A ac voltage or current operation  
but no other faults are reported, the 5700A sends a message to the 5725A asking for  
a sequenced shutdown into standby, and displays a fault message on its Control  
Display. The 5725A FAULT indicator lights. A faulty 5700A/5725A interface  
connection could cause this problem.

Connectors and traces to interconnect the other assemblies and the fan. There are  
three 32-pin DIN connectors on the Interconnect pca which connect the Power  
Supply assembly (A4), High Voltage Amplifier assembly (A3), and Current  
Amplifier assembly (A2). A 64-pin DIN connector links the Interconnect assembly  
to the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6). A 34-pin ribbon cable connector links the  
Interconnect assembly to the Digital assembly (A5). Other cable assemblies attached  
to the Interconnect assembly go to the fan, High Voltage assembly output, and high  
voltage transformers.  
High voltage transformer secondary-switching circuitry. Three high voltage reed  
relays (K013, K014, and K015) select one of three ac voltage output transformers. A  
fourth relay (K001) is a high voltage armature type that connects the secondaries of  
the low-frequency transformer in either a series or parallel fashion.  
The circuit board has four layers. Most connections are done on the inner two layers. One  
outer layer is an earth ground plane; the other outer layer is tied to the signal VCOM.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
Power Supply Assembly (A4)  
4-16.  
The Power Supply assembly (A4) provides regulated system supplies for all 5725A  
assemblies except as noted below, as well as unregulated fan supply and high voltage  
supplies for the High Voltage Amplifier. The assembly also includes microprocessor-  
controlled switching and an independent current-limit circuit.  
Note  
Other power supplies are contained on the Current Amplifier assembly  
(A2). The A2 assembly includes a high-current supply and a local ±20V  
supply.  
The Power Supply assembly has four sections: high voltage supply, switching, current  
limit, and system supply section. Each section is first briefly described, then described in  
detail.  
High Voltage Supply Section  
The high voltage supply section consists of a simple unregulated power supply with  
the additional capability of being run at ±400V dc for normal instrument operation,  
or at ±50V dc for troubleshooting.  
Switching Section  
The switching section behaves like an electronic DPST switch, which by command  
of the microprocessor or the current-limit section, shuts down the high voltage  
supplies. Microprocessor control alone can turn on the high voltage supplies in  
normal operation. At the board level, manual control of the switch is possible to  
enable stand-alone turn on of the Power Supply assembly (A4) and the High Voltage  
Amplifier assembly (A3).  
Current-Limit Section  
The current-limit section shuts down the high voltage supply in a latching mode if  
excessive current is drawn by the High Voltage Amplifier or if the ±15V or +5V  
supplies fail. This section of the Power Supply assembly consists of a pair of shunts,  
a pair of comparators, and a system supply monitor.  
System Supply Section  
The system supply section contains various regulated power supplies, and is  
comprised of five linear regulators. In addition, the system supply section contains  
an unregulated supply for the fan.

Theory of Operation  
Detailed Circuit Description  
4
High Voltage Supply Section  
4-17.  
The high voltage supply allows normal operation from a pair of nominal 400V dc  
supplies, or troubleshooting operation in a reduced voltage mode with a pair of nominal  
50V dc supplies. Switching between normal and reduced-voltage operation is done by  
removing the plug from J301 and inserting it into J303. See Section 7 for the procedure  
to do this. (Plug P301 is wired with both 400V and 50V transformer taps so that the  
400V taps are connected in the circuit when P301 is plugged into J301, and the 50V taps  
are connected in the circuit when P301 is plugged into J303.)  
Two sets of high voltage rectifiers, CR301 through CR304 and CR310 through CR313,  
form bridge rectifiers for the positive and negative supplies, respectively. The output  
from these bridges is filtered by C301/C321 and C320/C322. The capacitor pairs are  
configured in series to obtain the necessary working voltage. Bleeder resistors R303,  
R314, R315, and R 308 discharge C301/C321 when power is removed and form a  
voltage divider that equalizes the voltage across halves of C301. Resistors R335, R337,  
R336, and R339 do the same function for C302/C322.  
Warning  
Do not rely on the power supply LEDs as an indication of the  
presence of high voltage. Always use a voltmeter to check for  
high voltage between TP307 and TP301, and between TP307  
and TP304.  
Components CR317 and CR318 are high intensity red LEDs that provide visual  
indication of the presence of high voltage. These LEDs have high luminosity at low  
current levels. They are located in series with the bleeders for the positive and negative  
supplies, using about 1 mA of current for bias. Under average lighting conditions, these  
LEDs are visibly lit with as little as 40V on C301/C321 and C320/C322. Zeners VR306  
and VR307 are normally off, as their zener voltages are greater than the forward voltage  
of the LEDs. However, should an LED fail, these zeners carry enough current to allow  
the bleeder resistors to function.  
Fuses F301 and F302 protect the transformer against overload in case the 400V supplies  
are shorted. Without these internal fuses, a short-circuit would cause excessive power  
dissipation in the power transformer, even though ac line current would be insufficient to  
blow the main fuse. Table 4-1 lists data for fuses F301 and F302, and the other internal  
fuses in the 5725A.  
Caution  
For safety, replace internal fuses only with fuses of the rating  
and type specified in Table 4-1.  
Surge arrestor E302 fires if the secondary voltage of the +400V supply exceeds 600V.  
This should only occur if the 5725A is plugged into an ac line voltage of 200V or more  
when it is set to 100-120V. E302 would then draw enough current to blow the main fuse,  
thereby protecting the 5725A.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
Switching Section  
4-18.  
MOSFETs Q301/Q317 and Q302/Q318 (each in parallel) are series-switch elements for  
the +400V supply. Similarly, Q312/Q319 and Q313/Q320 are series-switch elements for  
the -400V supply. Resistor pairs R301/R302 and R342/R343 equalize the voltage across  
the transistors in their "off" state. Series transistors guarantee operation within the  
MOSFET 500V absolute rating.  
The MOSFET switches are controlled by the signal at TP305. When this point is at +5V,  
the series connected base-emitter junctions of Q305/Q307 and Q304/Q306 are zero  
biased. In this condition, only leakage current flows through Q305/Q307 and  
Q304/Q306, which is insufficient to develop enough source-gate voltage to turn on  
Q301/Q317, Q302/Q318, Q312/Q319, or Q313/Q320. When TP305 is taken low, the  
series base-emitter junctions are now forward biased sufficiently so that the Q305/Q307  
and Q304/Q306 pairs conduct with about 0.5 mA collector current. This current flows  
through the source-gate resistor and zener diode bias networks of Q301/Q317,  
Q302/Q318, Q312/Q319, and Q313/Q320. The zener diodes limit the source-gate  
voltage to near 15V, which is enough to turn on the MOSFETs completely without  
exceeding their source-gate voltage ratings.  
Transistors Q303/Q321, Q311/Q323, Q315/Q322, and Q316/Q324 are emitter followers  
that prevent Q305 and Q307 from experiencing excessive collector-emitter voltages in  
their "off" state. The networks of resistors, capacitors, and diodes formed by  
R344/C305/CR305, R327/C304/CR316 and R345/C306/CR309 are included to slow  
supply turn-on to prevent a transient current-limiting condition, while still allowing rapid  
supply turn-off.  
Resistors R310/R311/R306 provide a divided voltage for low-level monitoring of the  
+400V supply by the analog monitor on the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6).  
Resistors R332/R346/R347 do the same for the -400V supply. Diodes CR314, CR315,  
CR319, and CR320 prevent damage to the series-switches from inductive kickback  
during shutdown.  
Control over the potential at TP305 is controlled in one of the two following ways:  
1. In normal operation (P301 plugged onto the E301 header where the label SYS  
appears, pins 1 and 2), the microprocessor strobes the control data HVSUPPLY*  
into U302 by pulsing HVSTROBE. This action occurs in parallel with writing  
HVSUPPLY* information into a latch on the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6),  
but there the sense of the HVSTROBE line is inverted.  
Transistor Q304 provides correct polarity to the clock of U302. At any time, the  
supply can be switched off (i.e., TP305 brought to +5V) independent of the  
processor by the current-limit circuitry or by SW301 pulling the "set" line of U302  
high (TP306).  
2. To turn on a Power Supply assembly (A4) by itself for troubleshooting, you can plug  
P301 onto the E302 header where the label MAN appears (pins 2 and 3). This allows  
momentary-contact pushbutton switch SW302 to generate a strobe signal for U302,  
turning the supplies on. You turn the supplies off by pressing switch SW301. You  
may wish to troubleshoot in the low-voltage mode by plugging the high voltage  
secondary plug into J303. Section 7 contains the procedures to do this.

Theory of Operation  
Detailed Circuit Description

Current-Limit Section  
4-19.  
Resistors R313 and R329 are current shunts for the high voltage supplies. These are  
connected in series with the bridge rectifiers, with the common point between the shunts  
being the high voltage supply common, HVCOM. The voltage developed across the  
+400V shunt is negative; the voltage across the -400V shunt is positive.  
The shunt voltages, +400V IMON and -400V IMON, in addition to being monitored by  
comparators in the current-limit section, are routed via the Interconnect assembly (A1) to  
the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6), where they are scanned by the analog monitor,  
and to the High Voltage Amplifier assembly (A3) to control the autobias circuitry. The  
negative current monitor signal is clamped by CR307 and filtered by R328 and C308  
before being directly compared to 0.36V by U301B. The positive current monitor is  
more complicated because of its negative value. To stay within the common-mode  
operating range of U301A, the shunt signal is first summed with a reference voltage via  
the R319/R318 network, after which it is clamped by CR306 and filtered by C308. The  
comparator switching level is 0.18V. The summing network scales the shunt signal for  
equal supply trip currents.  
The outputs of U301A and U301B are open collector, which allows them to be wire-  
ORed with the open drain output of Q309. The output of this logic drives Q308,  
resetting the high voltage supply switches and signaling the processor via HVCLR.  
Transistor Q310 monitors the presence of the ±15V supplies. If either of these supplies  
fail, the high voltage supplies are switched off.  
System Supply Section  
4-20.  
The digital/relay power supply tap (+5V) is routed via J350 through RT350 and bridge  
rectifier CR351. A positive temperature-coefficient thermistor protects the instrument  
from the secondary supply short circuits. This prevents them from thermally stressing  
the power transformer. Three-terminal regulator U350 regulates the digital/relay supply  
with 1% initial tolerance and about 2% accuracy over temperature. Capacitor C350  
filters the input of U350; C351 filters the output.  
The +5V digital supply powers both logic and relays. The power for each routes away  
from the +5V regulator separately, via lines +5V and +5VK. This prevents relay drive  
currents from causing drops in the logic supply voltage.  
Because the ±20V supplies draw little current, they can share power transformer  
secondary windings with the ±15V supply with little efficiency lost. This center-tapped  
winding is brought to the Power Supply assembly via J350, where each half of the  
winding is protected from short circuits by a thermistor. Bridge rectifier CR355, as well  
as filter capacitors C353 and C356 again serve both supplies. The center tap of this  
transformer winding forms VCOM, to which PACOM and HVCOM are tied to provide a  
common reference for the instrument.  
An accurate +15V supply is obtained by using U351. Regulator U352 regulates the -15V  
supply.  
An accurate +20V supply is obtained by regulating with U353, a 5V regulator, but  
referencing it to the accurate +15V supply. VR351 forces U353 to be forward biased as  
the +15V supply comes into regulation. This avoids powering up the +20V supply  
through CR359 (at the improper voltage), reverse biasing U353.  
A discrete regulator makes the negative -20V supply accurate. U354 is an error amplifier  
that forces the junction of R352 and R350 to be 0V. In doing so, the -20V supply is  
forced to be the inverse of the +20V supply within the matching of R350 and R352.  
Transistor Q350 provides a pass element for the negative regulator; VR352 provides  
level shifting so that the drive required from U354 is within its output swing range.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
Fan Supply Section  
4-21.  
The fan supply uses the same transformer secondary windings as the ±15 and ±20V  
supplies. Its own full-wave bridge rectifier diodes create a supply voltage of +25V.  
Transistor Q351 is operated near saturation, and provides the measurement point to tell  
the CPU whether the fan is running. The output of Q351 is sent to the analog multiplexer  
on line -FAN to accomplish this.  
Digital Assembly (A5)  
4-22.  
From a software standpoint, digital circuitry functions as a subset of the 5700A in-guard  
CPU. Digital circuitry resides on three assemblies within the 5725A: the Digital  
assembly (A5), the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6), and the Current Amplifier  
assembly (A2). All the 5725A hardware, including digital, is in-guard, except for the  
guard crossing and the CABLEOFF detection circuit.  
Figure 4-2 is a block diagram of the Digital assembly. The Digital assembly contains  
most of the digital circuitry, including the following:  
Microcomputer (Hitachi 6303Y CMOS)  
External RAM (CMOS static)  
External ROM  
EEROM (2Kb X 8)  
Break-detect circuitry  
Power up and reset circuitry  
Watchdog timer circuitry  
Front panel LEDs  
LED decoder and driver  
The High Voltage Sense assembly (A6) contains the optoisolator link (guard crossing) to  
the 5700A Main CPU and the CABLEOFF circuit.  
The Current Amplifier assembly (A2) contains the interface to the digital bus (two  
latches and three relay drivers) and a relay driver chip.  
Microcomputer  
4-23.  
The 6303Y CMOS microcomputer is configured for Mode 1 operation, with external  
RAM and external ROM. Port 3 provides a common data bus (D00-D07), while port 1  
and bits 0 through 5 of port 4 provide the address bus (A0-A13). Bits 6 and 7 of port 4  
are address lines A14 and A15.  
External RAM  
4-24.  
External RAM is enabled whenever A15 is high, A14 is low (hex 8000-BFFF), and  
either RD* or WR* is true. Reading and writing is controlled by bit 2 of port 7.  
External ROM  
4-25.  
The external ROM (U515) is enabled via ROMSEL* whenever A15 and A14 are high  
(hex C000-FFFF). Bit 0 of Port 7 (RD*) is OUTPUT ENABLE*.

Instruction Manual  
EEROM  
A 2Kb X 8 EEROM (U512) stores 5725A calibration constants plus the date and  
4-26.  
temperature of calibration. If the rear panel CALIBRATION switch is in the NORMAL  
position, the EEROM is software write disabled. The 6303Y reads the CALIBRATION  
switch via bit 1 of port 5 and enables the EEROM when the switch is in the ENABLE  
position. The EEROM is selected when A15 and A14 are low, A13 is high (2000 through  
3FFF), and either RD* or WR* is TRUE. Writing is controlled by bit 2 of port 7 and the  
RESET* line.  
The 5725A does not automatically format its own EEROM. The 5725A informs the  
5700A Calibrator if a problem has been encountered at power-up. The 5700A assumes  
responsibility for formatting the 5725A EEROM.  
Data Latch  
The Data Latch (U510) is enabled via LATCHSEL when three conditions are met:  
4-27.  
address bit A15 is 0, A14 is 1 (hex 4000-7FFF), and WR* is 0 (true). Data Latch U510 (a  
74HCT373) latches information on the external data bus (D0-D7) and sends this  
information to the LED latch (U501), Current Amplifier assembly (A2), and the High  
Voltage Sense assembly (A6).  
Strobe Lines  
4-28.  
The Current Amplifier (A2) and High Voltage Sense (A6) assemblies tie to the Data  
Latch external data bus output with latching relay drivers and/or latches. Information is  
strobed into the respective relay drivers/latches by the state of any of the seven strobe  
lines. The seven strobe lines (STROBE 1-5,21,22) and a clear line (CLR), all asserted  
high, are buffered (U503) outputs on port 6. An additional strobe line called  
HVSTROBE, for use by the High Voltage Sense and Power Supply assemblies, is  
created from STROBE 2 combined with STROBE 2 ENABLE* and HVSUPPLY*.  
Line HVSUPPLY* is generated on the High Voltage Sense assembly. The strobe rate  
varies from 50 ms for STROBE 2 to over 100 ms for the other strobe lines. The CLR line  
opens all relays except K202.  
Led Driver  
4-29.  
Front panel LEDs are driven by U501, a 74HCT373 latch, which is capable of sinking 35  
mA of LED operating current. An output LOW turns an LED on. The LED driver is  
selected by bit 7 of port 5, LEDSEL.  
Optoisolator Link  
4-30.  
An optoisolator circuit links the two-channel guard crossing. This guard crossing circuit  
and the related 5725A/5700A interconnection reside on the High Voltage Sense  
assembly (A6). Serial communication to and from this guard crossing uses the  
RECEIVE and TRANSMIT lines, respectively.  
When the 5725A is not being used, all cable inputs into the 5700A are tied to the 5700A  
guard to shunt noise currents away.

Theory of Operation  
Detailed Circuit Description

Break-Detect Circuitry  
4-31.  
The 6303Y divides the 4.9152-MHz crystal frequency by four to create the 1.2288-MHz  
ECLK. This signal serves as the clock for the 74HC4020 counter (U506), which is  
configured as a divide-by-16384. The RECEIVE line is usually high, except for the brief  
interval when characters are being transmitted. As long as the low state is less than 13.34  
ms, RECEIVE holds the CLR of the 74HC4020 TRUE. However, if communication  
between the 5725A Amplifier and the 5700A Calibrator fails, the 5700A attempts to  
reset the 5725A by sending a break (holding RECEIVE low for greater than 26.7 ms).  
This action causes the 74HC4020 counter output (BREAK) to go high. Signal BREAK is  
NORed with CABLEOFF from the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6); either signal  
causes a NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT to the 6303Y. The 5700A also uses BREAK  
to reset the 5725A.  
Power Up and Reset Circuitry  
4-32.  
Reset and glitch-detection circuitry primarily consists of U508, a TL7705A. This chip  
detects if the power supply falls below 4.5V, if a reset input from a momentary contact  
switch occurs, or if there is an output from the watchdog timer. Any combination of  
these conditions resets the board via RESET* for 130 ms.  
Watchdog Timer  
4-33.  
Watchdog circuitry contains a 4538 Dual Monostable Multivibrator. The first  
multivibrator (U509A) is configured as a 300 ms retriggerable one-shot that can fire a  
second 3 ms one-shot (U509B). Control line STROBE 2 of the 6303 (bit 1, port 6)  
retriggers the first one-shot every 50 ms and refreshes the high voltage relay driver. If  
STROBE 2 is stuck high or low during operation, the first one-shot is no longer  
retriggered, and its output transitions low. The second one-shot, configured to trigger on  
a falling edge, now sends a pulse via RESIN* to the TL7705A reset IC U508. This  
action forces the reset circuit to pull a hard reset on the 6303Y for 130 ms.  
The first trigger to the 4538 occurs when the 7705A RESET* line makes a transition  
from low to high. During normal operation, STROBE 2 prevents another reset by  
retriggering the first one-shot well before the 300 ms timeout. The watchdog fires only if  
the CPU is executing erroneous code which does not activate STROBE 2.  
Current Amplifier Assembly (A2)  
4-34.  
The Current Amplifier assembly enables the 5725A to extend the current output range of  
the 5700A Calibrator to ±11A dc or 11A ac. The 5700A drives the Current Amplifier  
assembly input through the 5725A interface cable. There are no user input terminals.  
Output current is available at binding posts on the 5725A front or rear panel. Selection of  
front or rear 5725A binding posts is done by unplugging one cable and plugging in  
another cable on the Current Amplifier assembly inside the 5725A chassis. Additionally,  
relays on the Current Amplifier assembly can route the 5700A current source to the  
5725A output terminals, if so selected at the 5700A front panel (or by remote command).  
The Current Amplifier assembly has five distinct sections: the error amplifier, output,  
control, monitor, and power supply. Each section is first briefly described, then  
described in detail in the following paragraphs. Refer to Figure 4-3, a block diagram of  
the Current Amplifier assembly, to see the interrelationship of the following function  
blocks.

Theory of Operation  
Detailed Circuit Description  
4
Error Amplifier Section  
The error amplifier section contains three differential amplifiers and a precision  
high-current shunt resistor. Two differential amplifiers set the gain and uncorrected  
frequency response of the current amplifier. The remaining differential amplifier is  
used during the internal portion of 5700A/5725A calibration and during ac current  
operation.  
Output Section  
The output section contains several power transistors, a heat sink, two operational  
amplifiers, a current buffer amplifier, two current sensing resistors and related  
components. The output stage is driven by the error amplifier section, converting a  
±3V signal into a ±15A signal. The output section is powered by floating supplies  
that are referenced to the ICOM current common. The output stage is designed to  
drive inductive loads.  
Monitor Section  
The monitor section contains several op amps and comparators, and a thermistor. A  
temperature monitor circuit observes the temperature of the voltage output  
transistors. Excessive output compliance voltage is detected by the drive monitor  
circuit. Both monitor circuits send scaled voltages to a multiplexed comparator on  
the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6), where abnormal operating conditions are  
detected.  
Control Section  
The control section contains nine relays, a latched relay driver, several transistors,  
and a quad comparator. The relays and transistors switch the Current Amplifier into  
ac current and dc current operating states, a standby state, and several self calibration  
and diagnostics states during which 5725A operation is monitored and characterized  
by measurement circuitry and software residing in the 5700A.  
Power Supply Section  
The power supply section contains two bipolar power supplies. Regulated ±20V  
supplies and unregulated ±12V supplies are referenced to ICOM and power only the  
output section. The error amplifier section and control section are powered from the  
±15V and +5V 5725A system supplies.  
Error Amplifier Section  
4-35.  
Refer to page 1 of the Current Amplifier schematic. Components U201, Z201, R235,  
C230, and Q211 make up the "outer loop error amplifier," a differential amplifier with  
high common-mode rejection ratio. The outer loop error amplifier controls a first-order  
feedback loop that determines the dc accuracy and uncorrected ac frequency response of  
the current amplifier. Q211 shuts off the outer loop error amplifier during standby and,  
through modulation of its channel resistance by R255 and C210, yields a soft-start  
transition into the operate modes.  
Components U202, R232, R241, R251, R252, R234, C213, and Q213 comprise the inner  
loop error amplifier. The inner loop error amplifier works with the outer loop amplifier  
in a second-order feedback loop that significantly diminishes the effects of output stage  
non-linearities. Q213 reduces the inner loop gain during standby.  
Refer to page 2 of the Current Amplifier schematic. Resistor R272 is a specially  
constructed 0.02shunt resistor that senses the Current Amplifier output. U208 and  
Z203 comprise a gain of ten differential amplifier called the calibration amplifier (Cal  
Amp). The calibration amplifier scales the voltage dropped across R272, creating a signal

Instruction Manual  
(ICAL, TP208) with the same amplitude and polarity as the current amplifier input voltage.  
The calibration amplifier output is measured by circuitry within the 5700A during  
calibration of the 5725A current amplifier. The calibration amplifier output is fed back  
to the 5700A Oscillator during ac current operation.  
The feedback signal from the precision shunt is applied to both the inner and outer loop  
error amplifiers (ISENSE HI, ISENSE LO , pages 1 and 2). The error amplifier section  
drives the output stage (TP204) so that the voltage across R272 is one-tenth of the  
Current Amplifier input voltage (VINI). Thus, the Current Amplifier is a  
transconductance amplifier: output current is proportional to input voltage. This  
transconductance is -5A/V.  
Output Stage Section  
4-36.  
Refer to page 1 of the Current Amplifier schematic. Components U203, R203, R204, and  
R209 convert the bipolar ground-referenced output signal from the error amplifier  
section into two unipolar supply-referenced waveforms at the inputs to U204A and  
U204B. IC U203 also isolates the output stage, which is referenced to a floating common  
(ICOM), from the rest of the circuitry, which is referenced to circuit common (VCOM).  
The operation of the positive and negative output halves are similar. Only the positive  
output section is described below.  
In response to a positive polarity error amplifier output (TP204), the current through  
R209 increases. This same current flows into pin 2 of U203, causing the voltage drop  
across R203 to increase. The voltage across R203 is applied to the positive input of  
U204A. U204A drives Q203, Q205, and Q207 until the voltage at the emitter of Q207 is  
identical to the voltage at the non-inverting input of U204A. Test point TP204 is a test  
input for the output stage when in standby mode. The resulting output stage current can  
be monitored at TP208 with a scaling of 200 mV/A.  
The quiescent operating point of the output devices is fixed by the bias current of U203  
and current source CR205 at about 1A. There is no output stage bias adjustment.  
Capacitor C235 and resistors R256 through R260 provide a tertiary feedback path that  
guarantees stability when the 5725A is driving the specified inductive loads.  
Monitor Section  
4-37.  
Refer to page 1 of the Current Amplifier schematic. Components U211C and D, U210C,  
RT203, CR207, and associated resistors and capacitors make up the temperature-  
monitoring circuit. Heat sink temperatures above approximately 85°C signal the  
ITEMPM fault condition.  
Components U207, R280 through 284, and C234 generate a negative voltage at TP207  
(DRIVE MONITOR) that remains less than 3.1V in magnitude when the output  
compliance voltage is within the linear operating range of the output stage. The output  
compliance voltage is not measured by the drive monitor circuit; an overcompliance  
condition is inferred from excessive error amplifier output.

Theory of Operation  
Detailed Circuit Description

Control and Switching Section  
4-38.  
Refer to page 2 of the Current Amplifier schematic. Relays K201 through 209, Q214  
through 216, and U209 through 210 configure the Current Amplifier circuitry for the  
following six modes:  
Current Standby  
Current Amplifier input is active through K201. Current Amplifier output is  
disconnected from instrument output terminals but is routed through the sense path  
through K202.  
Operate1  
Input is connected to BOOST IN and MCOM. Output is connected to front or rear  
output terminals. FET switches Q211 and Q213 are off, enabling the error amplifier  
circuitry. Operate1 is the active mode for delivering up to 11A (ac or dc) to a UUT.  
Operate2  
The Current Amplifier is configured as in standby mode, except K201 is off. 5700A  
current source is routed to the 5725A current output terminals through K205.  
Operate2 is the active mode for delivering 2.2A or less to the 5725A terminals  
unless the 5725A 11A current range has been explicitly enabled from the 5700A  
front panel or by remote command.  
Calibrate1 (Shunt Calibration)  
Input is shorted. Error amplifiers are disabled with Q211 and Q213. Output is routed  
directly to current return path through K207, bypassing sense circuits. 5700A current  
source is routed through K206 to the 5725A current sense path. Procedures  
performed during Calibrate1 determine the value of R272. This is one of the factors  
in the dc gain and the only factor in the ac gain of the Current Amplifier.  
Calibrate2 (Offset Calibration)  
The amplifier is configured as in Calibrate1, except with its output routed by K208  
to the 5700A. Procedures performed during Calibrate2 determine the dc offset of the  
Current Amplifier.  
Calibrate3 (Gain Calibration)  
Input is connected to BOOST IN, B-FEEDBACK, and MCOM as in Operate1, but  
Output is routed through the current sense path through K202. Output is not  
connected to output terminals. Procedures performed during Calibrate3 determine  
the gain of the error amplifier, the other factor in the dc gain of the Current  
Amplifier.  
Power Supply Section  
Refer to page 3 of the Current Amplifier schematic. The unregulated, high-current  
4-39.  
supply is made from K208 through 209, F201 through 202, CR206, and C218 through  
C221.  
The regulated ±20V supplies are composed of RT201 through 202, U205, U206, CR212  
through 215, C222, C223, and associated components. Thermistors RT201 and RT202  
are PTC thermistors for current limiting and transformer protection.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
High Voltage Amplifier (A3)  
4-40.  
The High Voltage Amplifier assembly, operating with the step-up signal transformers,  
constitutes an amplifier with an inverting gain of 100. It amplifies 2.2V to 11V signals  
from the 5700A Oscillator and returns 220V to 1100V to the 5700A where they go to the  
5700A OUTPUT HI/OUTPUT LO binding posts. The signals to and from the 5700A  
come through the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6) where they are switched.  
The High Voltage Amplifier assembly consists of an input amplifier, integrator, window  
comparator, input clamp, transconductance and cascode stage, midstage, midstage -400V  
filter, high voltage heat sink assemblies, autobias current source, autobias sense circuit,  
high voltage amplifier feedback, and temperature monitoring circuits.  
The High Voltage Amplifier drives the primary winding of the appropriate signal  
transformer depending on the frequency of operation. Signal transformers are interfaced  
to the High Voltage Amplifier via connector J604. Relays that select signal transformers  
are mentioned under the heading "Signal Transformers" further on.  
The High Voltage Amplifier assembly uses the ±400V supplies from the Power Supply  
assembly. Lethal voltage appears on the heat sink assemblies. Do not open the 5725A  
cover without referring to the access procedures and warnings in Section 6.  
Figure 4-4 is a block diagram of the High Voltage Amplifier assembly. Refer to the  
block diagram or the schematic to better understand theory of operation.  
Input Amplifier  
The input amplifier, U602, is an op amp whose input comes from HV IN on J653  
4-41.  
through R623 and R621. HV IN is the 2.2V to 11V ac signal generated by the 5700A and  
routed through the High Voltage Sense assembly. The input amplifier has a high-  
frequency gain of 5.5, but because feedback resistor R622 is ac-coupled through C615,  
the gain is much higher at low frequencies. The inverting input of U602 is buffered with  
Q601. The nominal output of the input amplifier, LVAMP TP602, is about 6V dc.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
Integrator  
4-42.  
Op amp U601A is configured as an integrator to reduce the output offset of the input  
amplifier circuit. This integrator senses the output voltage of the amplifier (MVOUT)  
through R604 and R605 and forces it to be zero with respect to HVCOMM.  
Window Comparator  
4-43.  
Comparators U604A and U604B form a window comparator that monitors the output of  
the input amplifier, U602. The window is set to about +2.2V to +9V by R626, VR602,  
and R636. If the output of U602 exceeds the window limits, the appropriate comparator  
turns on the clamp, Q604, shorting the input to ground. The comparator also pulls  
control line CLAMPS high via U604D, where the comparator routes to the Digital  
Assembly (A5) through the Interconnect assembly (A1). Comparator U604D is a level  
shifter to translate the window comparator output to a TTL level.  
Exceeding the limits of the window comparator is an indication that the loop is in an  
abnormal condition when the instrument is in the ac voltage standby or ac voltage  
operate states. In current standby or current operate states, the comparator causes  
CLAMPS to be asserted, which turns off the +400V and -400V supplies.  
Input Clamp  
4-44.  
A FET clamp, Q604, is turned on until the output of U602 returns to the region within  
the window. When this occurs, the comparator turns off Q603. To avoid a large transient  
at the output of the High Voltage Amplifier assembly (A6), the clamp must be turned off  
slowly. Resistor R637 and C618 slow the clamp drive signal to accomplish this. Though  
Q604 can be turned off slowly by removing its gate drive slowly, it clamps  
asymmetrically in the transition region. The body of the FET is held at -7.5V. This keeps  
the FET from turning on at the negative peaks of the input waveform. The asymmetrical  
clamping appears as a dc shift in the waveform, which can cause the transformer to  
saturate. To alleviate this problem, a second clamp is placed in parallel with Q604.  
This second clamp is the photoresistor portion of the optical isolator, U605. It has a  
considerably higher on resistance than Q604, so the two are used together. When the  
clamp is to be turned off, Q603 is turned off and the voltage on C618 begins its  
transition from nearly +15V to -15V. At +15V, Q604 is turned on but because Q605 is  
also on, shunting current from the input of U605, the photoresistor is in the high  
impedance state. When the voltage on C618 reaches about +9V, Q605 turns off and the  
optoisolator is turned on, putting the photoresistor into its low resistance state. This has  
little effect on the input signal because the photoresistor is a higher impedance than the  
FET. As the control voltage approaches zero, Q604 turns off and the input is clamped  
only by the photoresistor. As the control voltage continues toward -15V, the  
photoresistor makes the transition to its off, or high impedance state. The photoresistor  
clamps symmetrically, eliminating the dc transient on the input. A similar transition  
takes place when light turns on the clamp but it happens much faster, as the turn-on  
transition is controlled by the time constant R631*C618 which is about an order of  
magnitude faster than the R637*C618 turn-off time constant.  
The microprocessor on the Digital assembly can also pull the clamp via control line  
CLAMPD, which is latched into a driver on the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6). Line  
CLAMPD is asserted during a sequenced turn on, power down of the High Voltage  
Amplifier assembly (A3), or during a transition to another frequency range. Comparator  
U604C level shifts CLAMPD and provides an OR function with the window comparator  
output.

Theory of Operation  
Detailed Circuit Description

Transconductance and Cascode Stage  
4-45.  
The output voltage of the input amplifier U602, LVAMP, is transformed into a current  
by Q602. The nominal current is about 8.5 mA. This implies that the nominal output  
voltage of the input amplifier is about 6V; 15V - (.0085 * 1000) - .6 = 5.9V.  
The current is passed through a cascode FET Q661, which can stand off the voltage  
required, about 400V. A zener diode similar to VR656 protects most of the power  
MOSFETs from damage to their gate oxide layer by excessive gate voltage  
(approximately ±20V). A gate resistor similar to R675 suppresses high frequency  
oscillations.  
Midstage  
4-46.  
The current from Q661 generates a voltage of about 8.5V across R698. The ac voltage  
gain from TP602, the LVAMP output, to R698 is unity. Transistor Q666 mirrors the  
current into the midstage with an ac gain of 5. The dc midstage current is about 28 mA.  
The midstage current passes through two cascode FETs, Q662 and Q665, to bias resistor  
R674. Transistor Q660, VR658, and R678 form a 21 mA current source that, along with  
R674 establishes the midstage bias current at about 28 mA. FET Q653 is a current  
source from the +400V supply controlled by the auto-bias circuitry. The bias for Q654  
and Q662 comes from the high voltage heat sink assemblies and is maintained about  
halfway between the output voltage and the +400V supply or -400V supply, respectively.  
The bias for Q665 comes from zener VR665, FET Q667, and its associated parts, which  
form a 3 mA current source to bias the zener.  
Zener VR661 provides some additional protection for Q665 and Q666. Capacitor C660  
and R612 provide the dominant pole to stabilize the midstage amplifier. Gain-bandwidth  
is set to about 7 MHz.  
Midstage -400V Filter  
4-47.  
FET Q670 is a filter to reduce the 120 Hz and output signal ripple on the -400V supply.  
Zener VR663, acting as a normal diode, clamps the gate of Q670 at the positive peak of  
the ripple on the -400V supply. As soon as the -400V supply moves away from the  
positive peak, the gate voltage is heavily filtered by R695 and C663. The zener action of  
VR663 and VR664 prevents Q670 from being damaged by excessive gate voltage as the  
-400V supply is turned on.  
High Voltage Heat Sink Assemblies  
4-48.  
The output power MOSFET devices are mounted in pairs on the four high voltage heat  
sink assemblies. Each pair is driven with the same gate voltage. To ensure they equally  
divide the current, the MOSFETS are matched for gate-source voltage at 0.5A and have  
3.9source resistors. The push-pull output stage consists of Q655 and Q656 on the N-  
channel heat sink assembly #2 and Q663 and Q664 on the P-channel heat sink assembly  
#2. Their gates are driven with the voltage on R674. Resistors R670 through R673 sense  
the output current, while Q658 and Q659 limit the current to about 2.4A. Diodes CR652  
and CR654 help to reduce the amount of stored charge in the power MOSFETs that must  
be driven when they are turned on and off.  
The power MOSFETs on the #1 heat sink assemblies are driven cascode to share the  
voltage drop between the output (MVOUT) and their respective 400V supply. This also  
balances their power dissipation with the #2 heat sink assemblies. Their gates are driven  
from the voltage divider R654 and R661 or R684 and R692. Capacitors C654 and C661

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
compensate for the capacitance seen at the gates of the power MOSFETs on the #1 heat  
sink assemblies. Their sources establish the voltage on the gates of the cascode FETs in  
the midstage, Q654 and Q662.  
The power MOSFETs are in the TO3 package and are mounted to the heat sinks using a  
heat conductive pad (electrically conductive as well) to minimize thermal resistance to  
the heat sink. This means that the heat sinks can have ±400V on them during normal  
operation. Do not open the 5725A cover without referring to the access procedures and  
warnings in Section 6.  
Lower voltage supplies of about ±50V are available on the board to replace the ±400V  
supplies during test and troubleshooting. How to power up in the reduced-voltage  
troubleshooting mode is described in Section 7.  
The four heat sink assemblies are attached to the High Voltage Amplifier assembly (A3)  
via connectors P661-664. A thermistor is stud mounted to the P-channel heat sink  
assembly #2 and attaches to the High Voltage Amplifier Assembly through J603. The  
temperature monitoring circuit, described further on, uses this thermistor.  
Autobias Current Source  
4-49.  
FET Q653 is a current mirror that provides a dc current to bias the midstage. FET Q654  
is a cascode stage to share the voltage and power. Since the loop forces the dc output of  
the amplifier back to zero if the midstage current is increased, the effect of increasing the  
midstage current is to increase the voltage drop across R674. Midstage current is  
increased until the gates of the output devices (connected to either end of R674) are  
driven just hard enough to establish the desired idle current in the output stage.  
The current that Q653 mirrors comes from Q657, which is driven by BIAS from the  
Autobias Sense Circuit. FET Q657 stands off the high voltage to the +400V supply and  
makes the autobias circuit less sensitive to its ripple.  
Autobias Sense Circuit  
4-50.  
The autobias sense circuit senses the +400V IM from the Power Supply assembly (A4).  
Signal +400V IM is a voltage developed across a R313 in the low side of the +400V  
supply, which provides a voltage proportional to the current in the 400V supply. If the  
High Voltage Amplifier were operating Class B, the +400V IM waveform would be half  
sines for a sinusoidal output current waveform.  
The autobias sense circuit forces the average current in the +400V supply to be greater  
than the average of a half sine to produce Class A-B operation. This results in Class A  
operation for small output currents and for high output currents, a +400V IM waveform  
that looks like a half sine at the peak but is more rounded at the base. The autobias sense  
circuit does this by measuring the average of +400V IM and comparing it to the peak of  
+400V IM / pi (the average that would have been obtained for Class B operation), plus  
an offset.  
Op amp U606A and C621 are configured as a peak detector. Resistors R647 and R648  
divide the peak by pi. Resistor R643 and the 15V supply provide the offset: (15V * 10K)  
/ (4.3M * 0.39) = 90 mA.  
These signals are summed into integrator U601B. The integrator is an error amplifier that  
drives the autobias current source circuitry, via BIAS, to achieve the desired relationship  
between the peak and average values of the current delivered by the +400V supply.

Op amp U606B senses the -400V supply and forces the autobias to the minimum bias  
condition when the ±400V supplies are turned off. Transistor Q606 forces the minimum  
bias condition when the window comparator is activated.  
High Voltage Amplifier Feedback  
4-51.  
Feedback for the High Voltage Amplifier is provided by R606, R607, and R608 from the  
output signal MVOUT. This means that the high voltage signal transformers are driven  
open loop by the High Voltage Amplifier. Feedback for amplitude leveling is provided  
on the High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6).  
The turns ratio of the hf transformer is less than the other transformers. Resistor R608  
compensates for the difference in turns ratio so the overall gain of the High Voltage  
Amplifier, plus the signal transformers, is -100 independent of frequency range. Resistor  
R608 is switched in by K601 only in standby mode and in hf operation.  
Signal Transformers  
4-52.  
Three transformers cover the four frequency ranges as shown in Table 4-2. The lf  
transformer is a C-core. The mf and hf transformers are toroids. All three signal  
transformers are located in the transformer box on the left side of the instrument when  
viewed from the front.

Four control lines: HFPD, MFPD, LFPD, and VLFPD, control the frequency ranges. The  
control lines are generated on the High Voltage Sense assembly. These lines control  
relays K601 to K604, which direct the High Voltage Amplifier output to the primary of  
the appropriate transformer and switch in feedback resistor R608 to compensate for the  
hf transformer turns ratio. Relay K604 switches the primary windings of the lf  
transformer into a series connected configuration for 40 to 120 Hz operation, and into a  
parallel connected configuration for 120 Hz to 3.5 kHz operation.  
Relays on the Interconnect assembly (A1) switch the secondary transformer windings.  
These Interconnect relays are driven by the same control lines as the High Voltage  
Amplifier assembly. These lines originate from latch/driver U157 on the High Voltage  
Sense assembly (A6).  
Temperature Monitoring  
4-53.  
The temperature monitoring circuit estimates the junction temperature of the power  
MOSFETs by measuring the temperature of one of the high voltage heat sinks and  
adding a calculated temperature rise from heat sink to junction, based on the current in  
the +400V supply.  
The heat sink temperature is sensed with a stud-mounted thermistor mounted into the P-  
channel heat sink #2 via connector J603. Its negative temperature coefficient is linearized

to approximately 33/°C by R615. Op amp U603A provides a reference voltage of  
about -0.77V. This reference voltage is applied to the circuit containing summing  
amplifier U603B, R611, and the linearized thermistor. The output of U603B is signal HV  
TEMP M, equal to 10 mV/°C.  
A voltage proportional to the temperature rise from the heat sink to the junction of the  
transistor is added to HV TEMP M through R610. This is done via +400V IM from the  
Power Supply assembly. Resistor R610 is selected to properly scale this contribution to  
the 10 mV/°C output of U603B. Capacitor C610 provides averaging for the ripple on the  
current-sensing resistor, and CR604 prevents C610, an electrolytic capacitor from being  
reverse charged.  
High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6)  
4-54.  
In addition to ac voltage sensing for which it is named, the High Voltage Sense assembly  
provides four major functions for the 5725A. These additional functions are the  
following:  
Analog monitoring of the 5725A status  
Interface with the 5700A controller  
Switching input signals from the 5700A  
AC Line Power switching  
Because it performs all the above functions, the High Voltage Sense assembly plays a  
primary role in controlling the instrument, attaining ac voltage specifications,  
performing 5725A calibration, and maintaining instrument safety.  
The High Voltage Sense assembly has the following six sections: sense amplifier, analog  
monitor, serial interface/guard crossing, analog input switching, control, and mains  
switching. Each section is first briefly described, then described in detail. For reference,  
see Figure 4-5, the block diagram for the High Voltage Sense assembly.  
Sense Amplifier Section  
The sense amplifier section consists of a precision ac amplifier configured as an  
active attenuator, a buffer amplifier that isolates the 5725A high quality ground from  
the 5700A ground reference, and a precision true rms converter circuit for 5725A  
calibration. Together, these circuits accurately attenuate the output of the 5725A in  
ac voltage function to drive the 5700A Oscillator control circuitry. The sense  
amplifier section is essentially a gain-determining feedback element of a loop whose  
forward path consists of the 5700A Oscillator and the High Voltage Amplifier  
assembly (A3).  
Analog Monitor Section  
The analog monitor section is comprised of a bipolar output dac, a comparator, and a  
16-channel multiplexer. The inputs to the multiplexer are scaled voltages  
representing critical parameters in the other 5725A assemblies, particularly those  
involving high voltage and/or current. Each input can be compared to programmed  
limits set by the dac under microprocessor control. The comparator gives simple  
go/no go decisions, which are then acted on in a more sophisticated way by the  
software. An additional function of the analog monitor section is to provide access to  
the B-RCL line used by the 5700A during 5725A calibration.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
Serial Interface/Guard Crossing Section  
The serial interface/guard crossing section consists of an RS-232 interface integrated  
circuit that provides the hardware for 5700A/5725A communication within the  
5725A. Two optoisolators provide the serial guard crossing to the Digital assembly  
(A5), and two more provide integrity checks for the interface. A relay remotely  
powered by the 5700A provides a software independent path to guarantee 5725A  
shutdown if the 5700A/5725A cable is disconnected.  
Analog Input Switching Section  
The analog input switching section consists of a bank of relays that route ac and dc  
voltages and dc currents from the 5700A to various functional blocks inside the  
5725A. Assemblies that receive inputs from the Analog Input Switching Section are  
the High Voltage Amplifier assembly (A3); the Current Amplifier assembly (A2);  
and the sense amplifier section of the High Voltage Sense assembly.  
Control Section  
The control section is implemented with a bank of four latches connected to the  
microprocessor data bus. A pair of latches with their integral drivers control relays, a  
pair of latches control the 16-channel multiplexer and the bipolar output dac in the  
analog monitor section.  
AC Line Voltage Switching Section  
The ac line voltage switching section is independent of the other five sections of the  
High Voltage Sense assembly. The ac line voltage section contains three switches  
(labeled S2, S3, and S4 on the rear panel) that configure the input to the transformer  
to accept one of eight nominal line voltage levels. Also included in this section are a  
simple unregulated power supply and a time delayed relay driver circuit. These  
circuits control a shunt switch around a pair of surge current-limiting NTC  
thermistors.  
Caution  
To avoid meter damage, do not measure the ac line voltage  
section unregulated supply with a meter tied to earth ground.  
Sense Amplifier Section  
4-55.  
Op amp U102, transistors Q100 through Q103, and their associated parts comprise the  
forward gain elements of a precision ac amplifier. Since this monolithic device does not  
accept supply voltages large enough to accommodate output swings of ±15.6V, a quartet  
of discrete transistors is configured as an output stage with voltage gain. This provides  
the necessary output swing of 11V rms as well as limits the additional forward gain of  
the overall amplifier to simplify frequency compensation.  
Inputs to the output voltage stage are derived from deviations of the supply current of  
U102 from its quiescent value. This topology depends on the increase in current from a  
particular power supply as the output of the monolithic op amp moves toward the value  
of that power supply. This increasing current develops a drop across R108 for positive  
output voltages or a drop across R116 for negative output voltages. These drops are  
amplified by Q100 and Q103. Transistors Q101 and Q102 buffer the output signal to  
present a low source impedance to the load.  
Overall gain at low frequencies is controlled by Z100, a resistor network designed for  
good ac frequency response, low power coefficient, and low thermal settling time. This  
network provides a feedback ratio of 0.99, or a closed-loop gain of 0.01. As a result, the  
entire sense amplifier is running in a virtual unity gain configuration. Zeners VR103 and

VR105 reduce apparent supply voltage seen by U102. Transistors Q105 and Q106 along  
with R131/C117 and R132/C118 filter the supply to reduce common mode errors at high  
frequency.  
Capacitor C108 provides ac tuning for the sense amplifier. This capacitor balances most  
of the parasitic capacitance picked up across the input resistor portion of Z100. Capacitor  
C109, in parallel, provides fine adjustment of response if needed.  
Components L105 and R130 isolate capacitive loads from the output of the sense  
amplifier to aid in achieving stability. Transistor Q104 is necessary to route the output of  
the sense amplifier to the 5700A during calibration. The signal routes to the B-RCL line  
(the high-quality dc line to the 5700A calibration circuitry) through the analog monitor  
sections 16-channel multiplexer. This device cannot handle the output swing of the  
sense amplifier (±15.6V) without risking inadvertent functional failure because of its  
±15V supply limits. The result is to isolate the multiplexer from the sense amplifier  
output during normal operation with the JFET switch Q104, which is then also turned on  
during calibration. This is possible because the output of the sense amplifier is nominally  
±3.2V during calibration.  
During ac voltage operation, the input of the sense amplifier is either locally driven via  
K104, or remotely driven via K105 and K109, by the High Voltage Amplifier assembly  
(A3).  
Op amp U103 forms a simple low offset voltage, low input current buffer to isolate the  
B-SENSE LO line from the rest of the 5725A circuitry. B-SENSE LO is the reference  
sense signal from the load provided through the 5700A and 5700A/5725A cable.  
Buffering B-SENSE LO ensures that the current flowing between the load and the  
5700A Switch Matrix assembly along this reference sense line is minimized, and as a  
result, the series voltage drop is minimized.  
The buffered B-SENSE LO line is distributed throughout the 5725A as MCOM,  
MCOMI, MCOMV, and MCOMC. These lines are all at the same potential, but they  
have different names corresponding to different paths taken to control the flow of ground  
currents. These names correspond to destinations as shown in Table 4-3.

The ac calibration circuit is also in the sense amplifier section. This circuit provides an  
extremely flat ac response for 5725A calibration of the sense amplifier. This flat ac  
response is made possible by the use of U101, the Fluke rms sensor, and a low-  
impedance ranging resistor, R103. The value of this resistor is 50 times less than the  
input resistor within Z100; as a result, the effect of parasitic capacitances is reduced by  
2500. A protection circuit made up of CR101, CR102, VR101, and VR102 clamp input  
voltages.  
Op amp U100 is a forward gain block, configured as an integrator with U101. A  
feedback circuit results, whose output at TP106 is a dc voltage proportional to the rms  
value of the signal applied to R103 and the input sensing resistor of U101. Resistor R112  
provides a simple means of protecting the output half of U101, while CR100 prevents

latch up by eliminating positive feedback resulting from positive output voltages from  
U100. Op amp U105 is simply a low-noise inverting amplifier that scales the sensor  
output to 10 dB below the 5700A Oscillator output level. The output of the calibration  
circuit, AC/AC, goes to the 5700A during calibration through the analog monitor  
section.  
Analog Monitor Section  
4-56.  
The 16-channel multiplexer, U151, takes a variety of inputs from all analog assemblies  
and provides a means of switching them to either a comparator, U154A, or to the B-RCL  
line via K152. During normal operation, the multiplexer output is routed exclusively to  
the comparator. Calibration requires routing the multiplexer output to the B-RCL line,  
which is routed back to the 5700A. The B-RCL line is measured by the precision adc  
circuit on the 5700A DAC assembly. All inputs to the multiplexer are scaled so that  
inputs are within its ±15V power supply range. Table 4-4 shows the signal name of the  
multiplexer input, its description, origin, and purpose.  
The state of the multiplexer is controlled by the microprocessor via data latched into  
U152.

Theory of Operation  
Detailed Circuit Description

IC U156 is a dac whose digital input is under microprocessor control via data latch  
U155. The +15V supply is the dacs reference voltage. Op amp U153A acts as a current-  
to-voltage converter, providing outputs between 0V and -6.375V. The desired output for  
the analog monitor function ranges from -2.56V to +2.56V. Level shifting and scaling is  
accomplished by U153B, by summing the output of U153A and the reference voltage for  
U156. Op amp U153B also forms an active two-pole filter to reduce wideband noise.  
The output of the dac is routed to both the multiplexer, U151, and the analog monitor  
comparator, U154A.  
Resistors R171 and R170 provide a small amount of positive feedback around U154A to  
ensure noise-free operation for small input voltages. Q150 forms a simple inverter that  
converts the comparator output to 5V logic levels. This output, MONCOMP, is routed  
back to the 5725A Digital assembly (A5), where it is acted on by the microprocessor.  
Serial Interface/Guard Crossing Section  
4-57.  
The control link between the 5700A and the 5725A consists of a serial interface at the  
hardware level. Serial data signals arrive via B-RCV and leave via B-XMIT. These are  
translated to and from standard 5V logic levels by U160, an RS-232 interface chip that  
runs from a single 5V supply. Internal charge pumps use C158 through C161 to generate  
RS-232 compatible supply levels of ±10V.  
A pair of dual optoisolators, U159 and U161, isolate the serial interface signals from the  
remainder of the 5725A circuitry. The serial interface uses half of each pair. The other  
half of U161 signals the status of the 5700A/5725A interface cable to the  
microprocessor.  
A 5V supply is available from the 5700A via pins 19 and 20 of J101. This supply drives  
the optoisolator LED when the cable connections are intact. The 5V supply also provides  
coil drive for K153. This relays contacts are in series with the coils of the other relays  
on the High Voltage Sense assembly. Thus, if the cable becomes disconnected, all relays  
on the High Voltage Sense assembly automatically open. The relays are configured so  
that safety is maximized when they are open.  
The remaining half of U159 signals to the 5700A when the 5725A is powered up. The  
5725A +5V supply powers the LED of the optoisolator, whose output pulls B-CINT*  
(pin 21 of J101) toward the 5700A supply common, B+5VCOM. This system is a  
complement to the CABLEOFF signal provided to the 5725A processor.  
Analog Input Switching Section  
4-58.  
The analog input switching section is the primary analog interface with the 5700A output  
functions. Relay K108 serves exclusively to connect the output low lead of the 5725A to  
the load. Relay K106 does the same for the low sense line. Line MCOM, when switched  
to B-SENSE LO, serves as the low sense lead for the 5725A. Similarly, PACOM, which  
ties to the 5725A system ground VCOM at the power supply, is switched to B-PACOM,  
serving as the 5725A output low lead.  
Signal BOOST IN is the input high lead from the 5700A signal sources, and is switched  
from the inputs to the High Voltage Amplifier or Current Amplifier and sense amplifier  
by K107. Relay K101 also selects the proper source for the B-FEEDBACK signal.  
Signal B-FEEDBACK corresponds to the input high sense lead. Relay K111 provides the  
capability to provide local sensing directly by the 5700A on the 5725A High Voltage  
Sense assembly. Local sensing is used during ac voltage standby mode. This prevents the  
5700A Oscillator from running without feedback when the 5725A High Voltage  
Amplifier assembly is in standby.

5725A  
Instruction Manual  
Relays K102 and K103 provide switching that allows direct drive of the sense amplifier  
and its calibration circuitry by the 5700A. These switches are used only during  
calibration.  
Relays K105 and K109 are high voltage reed relays that provide output to the 5700A  
binding posts and remote sensing from the binding posts, respectively, during ac voltage  
operation. These connections are accomplished by connecting the output of the High  
Voltage Amplifier to B-OUT HI and the input of the sense amplifier to B-SENSE HI.  
Local sensing for standby and calibration is accomplished by K104, which enables the  
High Voltage Amplifier to drive the sense amplifier and its calibration circuitry directly.  
While 5700A current is sourced through the 5725A OUTPUT binding posts of the  
5725A, relay K151 is energized to provide current guarding within the 5725A. 5700A  
output current comes to the High Voltage Sense assembly via J101 and is routed to a  
guarded coaxial cable through J152. The current return path is via E155. While 5700A  
current is sourced at its own binding posts, relay K151 is de-energized to prevent  
compromising of the 5700A internal guard.  
Control Section  
4-59.  
The relay and switch control section consists simply of a pair of latched relay drivers,  
U157 and U158. Each of these latches receives its input from the microprocessor bus and  
drives a bank of relays. Additionally, the microprocessor has a ready means to quickly  
open all relays via a CLR signal that synchronously clears the driver latches. The outputs  
of relay driver U157 control six relays on the High Voltage Sense assembly (A6), four  
relays on the Interconnect assembly (A1), and four relays on the High Voltage Amplifier  
assembly (A3). Relays on the Interconnect and High Voltage Amplifier assemblies are  
controlled via HFPD, VLFPD, LFPD, and MFPD. Relay driver U158 is unique because  
all the high voltage relays connected directly to the outside world are driven from this  
latch. This provides a way for hardware to clear the instrument to a safe state  
independently of the microprocessor. This can happen in the following two ways:  
Via the CABLEOFF signal that is asserted when the 5700A/5725A link is physically  
disabled as described under "Serial Interface/Guard Crossing Section".  
By detecting an overcurrent condition in the high voltage power supply, which not  
only shuts down the high voltage supply, but also clears latch U158 via the signal  
HVCLR. Note that HVCLR, CABLEOFF, and CLR are diode-ORed to provide the  
composite clear function for U158.  
In addition to controlling all the high voltage relays, U158 also generates control line  
CLAMPD for the High Voltage Amplifier assembly, and HVSUPPLY* for the Power  
Supply and Digital assemblies.  
Comparator U150A provides level shifting of the output of the latch U158 so that the  
JFET switch Q104 can be controlled.  
Switch SW150 is simply a contact closure that indicates to the processor whether 5725A  
calibration is enabled.

AC Line Voltage Selection Section  
4-60.  
In addition to the primary power switch, S401, this section contains three line-voltage  
selection switches, S402 through S404. These three switches allow the 5725A to be set  
to eight nominal ac line voltage levels, each with a 10% tolerance.  
Thermistors RT401 and RT402 have negative temperature coefficients, and limit inrush  
current at power-up. Relay K401 provides a pair of shunt switches to bypass thermistors  
after about a half second. This allows greater efficiency than with thermistors alone, and  
the use of thermistors allows operation if the relay fails. CR401 through CR404 and  
C401 form an unregulated power supply that is not isolated from ac line power for  
controlling K401. R401, R402, and C402 provide a time delay that prevents Q401, and  
hence K401 from switching before the effective power supply capacitance is sufficiently  
charged.  
Metal Oxide Varistor RV401 prevents high voltage transients on the ac line from  
reaching the transformer by clamping voltages above 275V ac.

Calibration and Verification  
Introduction

Introduction  
5-1.  
The 5725A is calibrated at the factory before shipping. Calibration is traceable to the  
U.S. National Bureau of Standards. All that is required to maintain traceability is to run  
5700A calibration to external standards at the beginning of the calibration cycle and do  
performance verification every two years. Calibration check and range calibration are  
optional procedures that are available for special needs. The 5725A is calibrated  
whenever an attached 5700A is calibrated.  
Where to Find Further Information  
5-2.  
Information about 5700A calibration, and therefore 5725A calibration, is contained in  
the following sections of the 5700A manual set:  
Section 7 of the 5700A Operator Manual presents procedures for calibration,  
calibration check, and range calibration.  
Section 1 of the 5700A Operator Manual describes the calibration process and the  
theory behind its use to establish traceability to national standards. The same section  
includes a description of the calibration check feature, and suggests using it to  
develop a performance history for your 5700A. (This applies equally to a 5725A.)  
Section 3 of the 5700A Service Manual contains a performance verification  
procedure recommended every two years to maintain traceability.

wCaution  
To prevent instrument damage, verify that the correct fuse is  
installed for the line voltage setting. Acceptable fuse types are  
Bussman type MTH or Littelfuse type 312 or equivalent, of the  
appropriate amperage rating. Use only a 4A, 250V fast-blow  
fuse when the line voltage selection switches are set in the  
range 200-240V.  
Note  
A spare 4A, 250V fuse is shipped with the 5725A to ensure that one is  
available for use on the 200 to 240V range.  
The line power fuse is accessible on the rear panel. The fuse rating label to the right of  
the fuse holder (labeled FUSE) shows the correct replacement fuse rating for each line  
voltage setting. To replace the fuse, refer to Figure 6-1, and proceed as follows:  
1. Turn off the POWER switch and disconnect the line power cord from ac line power.  
2. Insert the blade of a standard screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder labeled  
FUSE.  
3. Turn the screwdriver counterclockwise until the cap and fuse pop free.  
4. To install a new fuse, reverse this procedure.

Access Procedures  
6-6.  
Figure 6-3 shows the location of all major modules in the 5725A. View A is a top view,  
and view B is a bottom view. Both views show the covers removed. The 5725A is  
constructed so that two modules are completely accessible from the top, and two  
modules are completely accessible from the bottom. Each of these four modules can be  
lifted out of the chassis and locked in a service position by pivoting the assembly and  
inserting two machined pegs into two machined holes in the chassis towards the center  
of the instrument. (Figure 6-4 shows the High Voltage Amplifier assembly (A3) in the  
Service position.) Once in the service position, a module can be removed completely by  
disconnecting all cables attached to it.

wWarning  
Follow the instructions under "Initial Access Procedure" to  
make sure high voltage has been bled off before you touch  
anything inside the 5725A.  
If you work on a 5725A with the power cord attached, and/or  
you are not certain the high voltage has not bled off, do not  
wear a grounded wrist strap. Wearing a strap increases risk of  
dangerous electrical shock.  
Use extreme caution when you are working inside the 5725A  
with the power connected. Use only non-conductive tools, and  
keep one hand behind your back to avoid making a circuit  
through your body.  
The voltage output transistor heat sinks are at lethal voltage  
potential in ac V standby and ac V operate modes during  
normal operation, and possibly in any other mode after a  
failure. The heat sinks are exposed when any assembly is in the  
service position, and when the heat sink cover is removed.  
Initial Access Procedure  
6-7.  
Before accessing any module from the top or bottom of the instrument, proceed as  
follows to remove the top cover and verify that high voltage on the power supply  
capacitors has been bled off:  
1. Turn off the POWER switch.  
2. Remove the line power cord from ac line power.  
3. Wait three minutes.  
4. Remove the top cover by removing the screws accessible on the top surface (three  
front, three rear).  
Warning  
Before touching anything inside the 5725A, do the following  
steps to make sure high voltage has been bled off.  
5. Refer to Figure 6-4 for the location of items mentioned in this procedure. Remove  
the five retaining screws on the High Voltage Amplifier assembly (A3). (Two screws  
secure each side rail, and one seats the board into a mating connector on the  
Interconnect assembly.) Lift the High Voltage assembly by pulling on the plastic  
wire-tie loops, pivot it, and insert its metal pegs in the two holes on the chassis as  
Figure 6-4 shows. This puts the High Voltage Amplifier assembly in the service  
position.

6. Verify that both LEDs CR317 and CR318 on the Power Supply assembly (A4) are  
off. If either is lit after three minutes, there is a fault in the high voltage capacitor  
bleed-off path. Do not rely on an off condition as an indication that dangerous  
voltage no longer exists on the filter capacitors.  
Warning  
Do not rely on the power supply leds as an indication of the  
presence of high voltage. Always use a voltmeter to check for  
high voltage between TP307 and TP301, and between TP307  
and TP304.  
7. To confirm that high voltage has dissipated, set a DMM to the 1000V dc range, and  
take a reading with the common lead to TP307 and the high lead to TP301 on the  
Power Supply assembly. This is the +400V filter capacitor test point, and it should  
be at a safe level near zero.

Introduction  
7-1.  
This section provides troubleshooting information in three parts. First a listing of all  
5725A fault codes is provided for reference in Table 7-1. Following that is a description  
of 5725A automated self-diagnostics that you run from the 5700A. Finally, some manual  
tests are provided that can help you isolate a fault.  
5725A Fault Codes  
7-2.  
Table 7-1 lists all 5725A fault codes. Fault codes and descriptions appear on the 5700A  
Control Display in fault conditions. The codes and descriptions can also be transferred  
from the 5700A in remote control operation. Where fault messages are not self-  
explanatory, additional explanation is given in the table.  
Self Diagnostics  
7-3.  
The best way to begin looking for the source of a fault is to run self diagnostics from the  
5700A diagnostics menu. To run self diagnostics, proceed as follows:  
1. Press the "Setup Menus" softkey. (If "Setup Menus" is not showing on the Control  
Display, press RESET first to return to the 5700A power-up state.)  
2. Press the "Self Test & Diags" softkey.  
3. Press the "5725A Self Diags" softkey.  
4. Begin testing with the voltage function. Press the "Voltage" softkey. A sequence of  
self tests is run. A brief description of each test follows:  
a. 5725A ACV Sense Amp: Checks for proper operation of the high voltage sense  
amplifier on the High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6).  
b. 5725A ACV Standby: Puts the 5725A into voltage standby mode, and causes the  
analog monitor circuit on the High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6) to cycle  
through the continuous tests it does during normal operation.  
c. 5725A ACV Operate: Puts the 5725A into voltage operate mode, but  
disconnects the output from the 5700A binding posts. This test makes sure that  
the High Voltage Amplifier (A3) works correctly, and checks the analog monitor  
circuit on the High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6) for correct operation.  
d. 5725A Cal Sensor: Verifies that the calibration circuitry on the High Voltage  
Sense Assembly (A6) is working correctly.  
5. This completes voltage function testing. If any of the self tests fail, a fault code and  
message is displayed.

Warning  
The following servicing is to be done by qualified service  
personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not service the  
5725A unless you are qualified to do so.  
Follow the access procedures and warnings in section 6 to  
open the 5725A covers.  
The voltage output transistor heat sinks are at lethal voltage  
potential in ac v standby and ac v operate modes during normal  
operation, and possibly in any other mode after a failure. The  
heat sinks are exposed when any assembly is in the service  
position, and when the heat sink cover is removed.  
Use only non-conductive tools, and keep one hand behind your  
back to avoid making a circuit through your body. If you work  
on a 5725A with the power cord attached, and/or you are not  
certain the high voltage has not bled off, do not wear a  
grounded wrist strap. Wearing a strap increases risk of  
dangerous electrical shock.  
If self-diagnostics does not identify a faulty module, you can perform these manual tests.  
Five different fault conditions are addressed. The following numbered list describes each  
type of fault condition. Following that are troubleshooting tests to do for each type of

a. With an oscilloscope, check TP152 (DAC OUT) for the waveform shown facing  
Section 9 with the High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6) schematic.  
b. If the waveform is present, suspect an abnormal analog input into U151 on the  
High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6). See Table 4-3 for voltage limits of the  
analog inputs for standby operation.  
c. If the waveform is not present, short TP510 to DCOM on the Digital assembly.  
This tells the CPU to ignore all analog monitor faults and run all other tests.  
Check for any new fault codes that indicate the problem.  
d. If the waveform is still not present, the High Voltage Sense Assembly (A6) is  
likely to be at fault, specifically, the circuitry that includes U151, U155, U156,  
U153, and U154.  
2. If not an analog monitor fault, is it a high voltage supply (Fault 234) or CLAMPS*  
(Fault 226) fault? If yes and in standby mode, suspect the Power Supply assembly  
(A4). If yes and in voltage standby mode, suspect the High Voltage Amplifier (A3)  
and the high voltage output transistors.  
3. If the error on the 5700A is not an analog monitor fault, high voltage supply (Fault  
234), or CLAMPS* (Fault 226) fault, or if no fault is reported by the 5700A, check  
for communications activity at pins 12 and 13 of U507 on the Digital assembly (A5).  
The waveform should appear as shown facing the Digital schematic as waveform 4.  
If there is no activity, suspect the communication circuitry on the High Voltage  
Sense Assembly or the Digital assembly.

Problem 3: Fault When Entering Voltage Operate  
7-6.  
Proceed as follows to isolate the problem in this condition:  
1. Suspect the 5700A/5725A interface cable.  
2. Check the analog monitor circuit on the High Voltage Sense Assembly as in step 1  
on conditions 1 and 2.  
3. Suspect the High Voltage Amplifier assembly and the output transistor heat sink  
assemblies.  
Problem 4: Fault When Entering Current Standby  
7-7.  
Proceed as follows to isolate a problem in this condition:  
1. If an overcompliance error is showing (fault 211), check for proper closing of the  
standby relay on the Current assembly (K202).  
2. Check the analog monitor circuit on the High Voltage Sense Assembly as in step 1  
on conditions 1 and 2.  
Problem 5: Fault When Entering Current Operate  
Proceed as follows to isolate a problem in this condition:  
1. If an overcompliance error is showing (fault 212):  
a. Check for an open or too high resistance load.  
7-8.  
b. Suspect an open internal current output cable, or the Current Amplifier  
assembly.  
2. Check the analog monitor circuit on the High Voltage Sense Assembly as in step 1  
on conditions 1 and 2.  
Reduced-Voltage Troubleshooting Mode  
7-9.  
The high voltage supply on the Power Supply assembly (A4) allows normal operation  
from a pair of nominal 400V dc supplies, or troubleshooting operation in a reduced  
voltage mode with a pair of nominal 50V dc supplies. To switch between normal and  
reduced-voltage operation, proceed as follows:  
1. Turn off the POWER switch and disconnect the line power cord from ac line power.  
Warning  
Follow the instructions under "Initial Access Procedure" in  
section 6 to make sure high voltage has been bled off before  
you touch anything inside the 5725A.  
The power supply assembly generates lethal voltages. Use  
extreme caution when you are working inside the 5725A with  
the power connected. Use only non-conductive tools, and keep  
one hand behind your back to avoid making a circuit through  
your body. If you work on a 5725A with the power cord  
attached, and/or you are not certain the high voltage has not  
bled off, do not wear a grounded wrist strap. Wearing a strap  
increases risk of dangerous electrical shock.  
2. Place the Power Supply assembly in the service position as described in the access  
procedures in Section 6.

3. Remove plug P301 from J301 and inserting it into J303. Now the high voltage power  
supply will power up in the ±50V mode. The high voltage amplifier may also be  
serviced in the ±50V mode.  
Testing the Power Supply By Itself  
7-10.  
To turn on a Power Supply assembly (A4) by itself for troubleshooting, proceed as  
follows:  
1. Turn off the POWER switch and disconnect the line power cord from ac line power.  
Warning  
Follow the instructions under "initial access procedure" in  
section 6 to make sure high voltage has been bled off before  
you touch anything inside the 5725A.  
The power supply assembly generates lethal voltages. Use  
extreme caution when you are working inside the 5725A with  
the power connected. Use only non-conductive tools, and keep  
one hand behind your back to avoid making a circuit through  
your body. If you work on a 5725A with the power cord  
attached, and/or you are not certain the high voltage has not  
bled off, do not wear a grounded wrist strap. Wearing a strap  
increases risk of dangerous electrical shock.  
2. Place the Power Supply assembly in the service position as described in the access  
procedures in Section 6.  
3. Plug P301 onto the E302 header where the label MAN appears (pins 2 and 3).  
4. This allows momentary-contact pushbutton switch SW302 to generate a strobe  
signal for U302, turning the supplies on. You turn the supplies off by pressing switch  
SW301.  
5. You may want to troubleshoot in the low-voltage mode by plugging the high voltage  
secondary plug into J303. The previous procedure describes how to do this.
