2.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
This section describes the operation of each component.
2.2.1 Power Supply Circuit
The electrical power required by this mechanism is developed using the TA
Filter Unit (which combines
a filter and a power transformer) and the
TAMA board. The AC input passes first through the filter circuit,
where line noise is removed, and is then set to the transformer, where it is stepped down into two
separate voltages: AC 26V and AC 12V.
“The
transformer output is sent to the power circuits on the
TAMA
board, which converts the power to the DC voltages (see below) required for operation.
