For the Y-end electronics replacement, we want to remove unused power supplies. In fact, we already removed the +/-5V supplies from the stack. I was checking what supply voltages are used by the Eurocard modules. I found that D990399 QPD whitening board had the possible use of +/-5V.
The 40m Y-end version can be found here D1400415. The +/-5V supply voltages are used at the input stage AD620 and the QPD bias voltage of -5V.
AD620 can work with +/-15V. Also the bias voltage can easily be -15V. So I decided to cut the connector legs and connected +5V line to +15V, and -5V line to -15V.
With this modification, I can say that the eurocards only use the +/-15V voltages and nothing else.
The updated schematics can be found as D1400415-v6 |
