HP 25 new internal power supply
I just obtained an HP 25 with a new style of internal power supply I've never seen before. It's on a daughterboard, and supplies +6, -12 and 4 volts, as the old style does, but has fewer discrete components. It's got a couple of electrolytic caps, and 2 inductor circuits. The calculator chip complement is different, too.
Can anyone enlighten me? Regards, Dave |

RE: HP 25 new internal power supply
There're a couple of HP-25 schematics here.

The calculator chip complement is different, too. I found this daughterboard power supply also in an HP-21 and HP-29C. It seems that assembly was optimized by producing these boards. As the power supply had many discrete components, I can imagine that automatic assembly was more efficient with this method. Bernhard That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind. |

RE: HP 25 new internal power supply
Thanks for the info and the schematics. I noticed that the LC oscillator is on that board, too.
I think I have problems with this power supply. The voltages are OK, but are noisy. I'll have to remove the daughterboard to checks caps, diodes etc. It looks like this board is soldered to the main board in 5 places. Is this correct? Thanks again, Dave |
