Description of Individual Features
In order to properly use the full capabilities of the PB-505A, it is highly recommended that the user become familiar with the panel layout and the features of the components. See Figure 1.
AC Line Input
The PB-505A can run off of 115 or 230 VAC. The unit comes standard with a 250
V /1.5 A type T fuse for the 115 VAC setting. In order to use with 230 VAC,
please slide the switch on back to 230 V and replace the fuse with a 250 V /
0.75 A type T fuse.
Power Supplies
By combining the three DC power supplies on the PB-505A, the user may work
with virtually any type of integrated circuit or discrete component. The fixed
5 V / 1A supply has become an industry standard for powering digital IC’s.
Integrated circuits which require +5 V, +12 V, and -5 V are easily
accommodated by the PB-505A. The variable supply output voltages may be
changed by adjusting the knobs at the top on the front panel. The positive and
negative outputs are continuously variable from +1.3 at 150 mA to +15 V 500 mA
and -1.3 at 150 mA to -15 V at 500 mA. Both variable supply outputs are
referenced to circuit common. This creates a split supply which is often used
with differential and operational amplifiers (op amps).
In addition to the DC power supplies, the PB-505A also provides a 12.6 volt
center tapped AC supply. This allows the user to construct any of half-wave
and full-wave rectified power supplies on the breadboarding area and apply
power by simply connecting jumper wires to the three AC supply output jacks.
Digital Function Generator
The multi-waveform digital function generator provides continuously variable
frequency signals from 0.1 Hz (for extra-low frequency work) to radio
frequency signals of 100 kHz. The frequency is selected in two ranges, with a
LED screen to easily view the current settings. The generator can be set in
increments of 0.1 Hz or 0.1 kHz in their respective ranges as desired. The
sine wave output is factory adjusted for minimum distortion. The triangle
waveform is adjusted for best linearity.
The standard square wave and TTL level outputs are both set at a 50% duty
cycle.
The low output impedance of the sine, square, and triangle waveforms (600 Ω)
assures maximum coupling of the output signal to the device being driven. All
outputs can withstand a continuous short circuit to ground. The signal
amplitude can be adjusted from 0 to 20 Vpp with an open circuit and 0 to 10
Vpp with a 600 Ω load.
Logic Indicators
Sixteen LEDs, eight red and eight green, make up eight Logic Indicators that
will display logic high and low conditions based on either TTL or CMOS
thresholds, selectable by the user. Operating voltage can also be selected by
the user to be either at +5 V, or +1.3 V to 15 V at the setting of the +V
supply. This selection should be the same as the operating circuitry that is
to be monitored. The red LEDs will light when the voltages at the inputs are
2.2 V or higher when in the TTL position, or 70% of the operating voltage or
higher when in the CMOS position. The green LEDs will light when the voltages
at the inputs are 0.8 V or less when in the TTL position, or 30% of the
operating voltage or less when in the CMOS position. An unconnected input, or
an input not at a valid logic level, will cause both LEDs to be off. Note that
the thresholds determined by the TTL positions are only accurate when the +5
volt range is selected. The 100 kΩ input impedance ensures minimal loading
effects of the circuit under test.
Debounced Pushbuttons (Pulsers)
The PB-505A uses clocked flip-flops to provide debounced pushbutton switch
functions. The pushbutton circuitry has open-collector outputs which can sink
up to 250 mA each. This type of debouncing gives the user a sharp, glitch-
free trigger source which assures reliable operation in digital circuits. Each
pushbutton has a normally-open and a normally-closed output. If necessary, a
pull-up resistor can connect any pulser output to any of the positive voltage
sources.
Potentiometers
Two potentiometers are provided on the trainer. The resistance values chosen
(1 kΩ and 10 kΩ) may be used in common circuit applications such as volume
controls, DC offset controls for op amps, and timing circuit controls. All
leads for both potentiometers are available and uncommitted.
BNC Connector
The PB-505A may be connected to other pieces of equipment via a BNC connector.
This allows the use of shielded cable to minimize noise and interference.
Switches
Two single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are provided for general
switching functions. All leads are available and clearly marked on the PB-505A
for easy connection. Eight switches are configured as Logic Switches to
provide a convenient source of digital outputs. These switches will provide
logic levels of zero V (ground) for a logic low, and logic high levels of
either +5 V or +1.3 to +15 V at the voltage setting of the +V supply. The high
level is determined by the setting of the +5/+V switch. This arrangement
makes connecting special digital circuitry such as an eightbit input port
quick and easy, and allows compatibility with virtually any logic family.
Logic Probe
The logic probe is a tool used for checking the boolean states of logic,
either 1 or 0. The red “HI” LED lights up for when the logic is high or a 1.
The green “LO” LED lights up when the logic is low or a 0. Mem mode will
remember the logic and keep the corresponding LED lit while in PULSE mode the
LEDs will subsequently turn off after the pulse.
7-Segment Displays
The trainer comes with two BCD to seven segment displays. Each one is labeled
for ease of use for applications such as digital counters. Refer to their
respective truth table to confirm correct circuit connections.
CAUTION Integrated circuits can be destroyed if a voltage is applied to
their inputs that is higher than the operating voltage of the ICs. Always
insure that the setting of the +5/+V high-level switch is in the correct
position before making connections to any device.

Checking out the PB-505A
The PB-505A may be checked out for proper operation by making a few simple
measurements and connections. Begin by connecting the AC line cord to a
suitable receptacle. The two 7-segment displays should light when the power
switch is turned on.
Using a DC voltmeter, check for +5 V between the ground terminal and the +5
volt terminal. Repeat the measurement for the positive (+) variable supply
terminal and the negative (-) variable supply terminal. Check the variability
of each supply by turning the appropriate adjustment knob.
To test the logic indicators, switch the +5/+V operating voltage switch to the
+5 position. The TTL/CMOS threshold switch can be in either position. With no
input to the logic indicators, all LEDs should be turned off. Connect one end
of a jumper wire to the + 5 V terminal and the other end to logic indicator 1;
the red LED of logic indicator 1 should light. Repeat this test for logic
indicators 2 through 8. Disconnect the jumper from the +5 volt terminal and
connect it to the ground terminal. Connect the other end to logic indicator
1; the green LED of logic indicator 1 should light.
Repeat this test for logic indicators 2 through 8.
The digital function generator may be tested by connecting its output to one
of the speaker inputs. Connect the other speaker input to the ground terminal
(or one of the connectors on the ground bus strip). Set the frequency to 60
Hz and select the square wave. Move the amplitude control upward until you
hear a tone coming from the speaker. Step through any range of frequencies up
to 20 kHz (this upper limit may vary as it depends on the user’s own hearing)
and the pitch should change.
Push the waveform buttons to select sine, square, and triangle. A changing but
clearly audible tone should be heard in each position.
If an oscilloscope is available, you may check the digital function generator
for proper waveform and frequency using standard measurement techniques.
The debounced pushbuttons can be checked by connecting one side of a resistor
(20Ω to 100 KΩ) to +5 volts and the other side to PB1-1, the NC point. Then
connect PB1- 1 to LED-1 with the Logic Indicator +5/+V switch in the +5
position, the red LED should light when PB1 is pressed and the green LED
should light when PB1 is released. Next, move the connections from PB1-1 to
PB1-2, the NO point. Now the red LED should be lit when PB1 is not pressed,
and the green LED should be lit when PB1 is pressed. Repeat these steps to
test PB2.
The logic switches can be tested by connecting the output of logic switches 1
through 8 to the input of logic indicators 1 through 8. Switch the logic
switch +5V/+V high level switch to +5, and switch the logic indicator +5/+V
operating voltage switch to +5. Select the CMOS position on the logic
indicator TTL/CMOS threshold select switch. Now the logic indicators should
reflect the conditions of the logic switches, that is, red LEDs will indicate
switches in the high (logic “1”) position and green LEDs will indicate
switches in the low (logic “0”) position. Move each switch between its high
and low position to verify proper functioning. Switch the logic switch +5/+V
high level switch to +V and the logic indicator +5/+V operating voltage
switch to +V; the relationship between the switch positions and the logic
indicator display should remain the same, regardless of the setting of the
1.3 – 15 volts +V supply.
By using an ohmmeter, you can check the potentiometers. To do so, select an
appropriate range for measuring 10 kΩ and connect the ohmmeter leads to R1-1
and R1-2. With R1 rotated fully counterclockwise a reading of 0 Ω ohms should
be observed. As the potentiometer is rotated clockwise, the resistance reading
will be seen to increase linearly up to 10 kΩ ± 20%. Now move the ohmmeter
lead from R1-1 to R1-3; with R1 fully clockwise the ohmmeter will read zero
ohms, and the resistance will increase linearly to the full value noted
previously as the potentiometer is rotated counterclockwise. Select an
ohmmeter range appropriate for 1 kΩ and repeat these steps on R2 to verify
its function.
To test SPDT switch S9, put S9 in the up position and connect an ohmmeter to
S9-1 and S9-2. The ohmmeter should read 0 Ω. When the switch is brought to the
down position, an open circuit should be indicated. Move the ohmmeter lead
from S9-1 to S9-3 and observe a short circuit with S9 down, and an open with
S9 up. These steps can be repeated on S10 to test its functions.
To test the logic probe, connect a wire from Vcc to +5 terminal. Set mem/pulse
switch to pulse and TTL/CMOS switch to TTL. Connect a wire from input to +V
terminal. Connect the multimeter between GND and +V. Turn the +V pot fully
counterclockwise, read approx. 1.2V on the meter. Slowly turn the +V pot until
the HI LED lights. Read approx. 2.4V on the meter. Set pulse/mem switch to
mem. Touch input lead to ground. Observe low LED lighting and pulse LED
lighting and staying on.
Move pulse/ mem switch to pulse and observe pulse LED going out. Move TTL/CMOS
switch to CMOS, reconnect input lead to the +V terminal. With the +V pot fully
counter clockwise, slowly turn the +V pot clockwise until the low LED goes
out. Read approx. 1.6 volts on the DMM. Continue turning the +V pot until the
HI LED lights read approx. 3.5 volts on the DMM.
To test the BCD to 7 segment displays, jumper together pins 1A, 1B, and 1C.
Connect a jumper wire from these points to ground. Connect a second jumper
wire from position 1D to +5V. Observe a number 8 showing on the display.
Repeat this test for display 2.
Breadboarding Techniques
This section contains information which may prove useful when constructing
circuits using the PB-505A. While there are no hard and fast rules for
breadboarding, the following tips may save time and trouble.
Unless a circuit is being prepared for a demonstration or display, avoid
cutting component leads very short. While short wires and leads may look neat,
the clipped components will only fit into a limited “span” of connector
sockets, limiting the use of the component. It is perfectly permissible to use
untrimmed components while exploring different circuit possibilities. The only
time short leads may be necessary is when operating at higher frequencies and
experiencing mysterious malfunctions. Sometimes the only way to correct high
frequency circuit problems is to shorten all circuit connections.
Be cautious when using components which have been removed from a tape reel
used in automatic insertion equipment. Suppliers of surplus components often
sell components which are taped together in small batches. Removing the
components from the tape does not always remove the adhesive from the leads of
the components. Placing a formerly taped component into a socket connector
may result in a poor electrical connection and, worse still, leave tape
adhesive in the socket.
Avoid this problem by either carefully cleaning taped component leads,
clipping the taped portion of the lead off, or avoiding the use of taped
components altogether.
Be especially careful when inserting integrated circuits into the breadboard
sockets. Unless the IC pins are straight, it is very easy to crush the pin
into a zigzag shape or fold the pins underneath the body of the IC. Either
way the result is a bad connection or no connection at all.
Always use solid wire for breadboard connections. When stripping the wire
ends, be careful not to strip more than about three-eighths of an inch of
insulation from the wire. Too much bare wire may result in unintentional
connections near the wire end.
After you have built up a few circuits, you will have a good collection of
pre-stripped jumper wires. Save them. By reusing these wires, you can save
even more time and effort in assembling future circuits. Pre-formed wires in
various sizes are also available from Global Specialties (please visit web
site for available options and accessories).
