Schematic diagrams - Printers, copiers and MFPs

Most Hewlett Packard MFPs are produced on a meringue of a printer from the same company. A distinctive feature of the MFP from the
printer is the availability of an additional module - a scanner. In the rest, a significant part of the nodes and mechanisms is absolutely
identical and interchangeable.However, despite this compatibility, there are nodes that significantly differentiate the MFP from the
printer. First, such a module is a formatter board that is more complex and functional for MFPs. Secondly, strangely enough, the differences
are very often found on the controller controller board (Engine Controller or DC-DC Controller). As a similar example, you can cite the
LaserJet 3380 MFP, which is based on HP LJ1200 / 1300 printers (cartridge - as in 1200, laser unit - as in 1300, etc.). Despite mechanical
compatibility with these printers, the controller controller card in the LJ3380 is done quite differently - it's enough to compare their power
supplies. And if the power supplies for the LJ1200 / 1300 we already represented on the pages of our magazine, now it's HP LJ 3380.

In the MFP Hewlett Packard LaserJet 3380, as, indeed, in many other printers and MFPs, the switching power supply is physically located on
the controller controller board. This power unit generates constant voltages of the following ratings: + 3.3V, + 5V, + 24V, + 32V.

Stabilization of output voltages is carried out by the method of pulse-width stabilization (PWM) and for these purposes a special chip - PWM
controller with built-in power switch (STR-Z2062 chip) - is included in the power supply unit. The schematic diagram of the power supply HP
LJ3380, made on the printed circuit board RM1-0834, is HERE . Next, we present a brief analysis of the circuitry of this power source,
considering its individual functional nodes.

Input circuits
The input circuits of the source provide protection from interference, current shots during power-up and voltage surges of the primary
mains. The connector for connecting the printer's network cable is the INL101 connector.

In the input circuit of the source, the following protection elements can be noted: current fuse FU101, varistor VZ101, varistor VZ102,
thermistor TH101.

The varistor VZ101 provides protection of the primary part of the power supply unit from the increased mains voltage. In the event that the
surge of the mains voltage exceeds the threshold of the varistor VZ101 (620V), the resistance of the latter is significantly reduced, and a
significant current flows through it (and hence through the input fuse FU101). As a result, the fuse "burns out," but the rest of the circuitry
remains unscathed most often.
Thermistor TH101 (NTC - thermistor with negative TCR), provides the limitation of the inrush current through the diode bridge.

Capacitors C101-C106, varistor VZ102, chokes L102 and L103 provide the filtration of both symmetrical and asymmetric impulse noise of the
power supply network.

Thermistor TH101 (NTC - thermistor with negative TCR), provides the limitation of the inrush current through the diode bridge.

Capacitors C101-C106, varistor VZ102, chokes L102 and L103 provide the filtration of both symmetrical and asymmetric impulse noise of the
power supply network.

The AC rectification is performed by the integral diode bridge D101, and smoothing of the rectified voltage provides a capacitor C107, which
creates a constant voltage of about 300V.

Inverter
The inverter provides conversion of the DC voltage, taken from C107 to the impulse current of the transformer T501. The inverter is a PWM
pulse converter and is represented by the IC501 integrated circuit (STR-Z2062), which is a custom microcircuit. This chip includes both a
PWM controller and a powerful key transistor that commutes the primary winding (pin 4 - pin 1) of the T501 pulse transformer.

The microcircuit is started by the voltage supplied to pin 5 (VCC) from the diode bridge through the resistor divider R540 - R546, R501. The
power supply of the microcircuit in the operating mode (i.e., already after its start) is carried out by a make-up circuit consisting of: R505,
D502, C503. As a power source, the make-up circuit uses a pulsed EMF, taken from the secondary winding of the transformer T501 (contact
6 - pin.5).

The output voltage of the power supply is stabilized by the PWM method based on the feedback signal applied to pin 8 (CONT) of the IC501
chip from the PC501 optocoupler. The feedback signal is proportional to the output voltage + 3.3V.

The IC501 PWM controller chip is blocked when an emergency operation mode occurs by applying a high level signal to its input pin.4
(CD). The CD signal is controlled by the protection optocoupler (PC502), which sets this signal to a high level when one of the following
events occurs:

- excess voltage in the channel + 5V;

- excess voltage in the channel + 24V;

- excess current in the channel + 3.3V;

- excess current in the channel + 24V;

- excess current in the channel + 32V.

Secondary rectifiers
Virtually all secondary voltages are obtained by the full-wave rectification of the EMF pulses induced in the secondary windings of the
transformer T501. In the channels + 3.3V and + 24V, diode assemblies of Schottky diodes - half-bridges D501 and D502 - are used for
this. In the channel + 24V, the half-bridge is made on discrete diodes D505 and D506.

The only exception is the + 5V channel, which uses a rectifier on diodes D504 and D503, which is a voltage multiplier of two.

Voltage stabilizer + 5V
Stabilization of the voltage in the channel + 5V is carried out by a linear (sequential) stabilizer, the main elements of which are the transistor
Q501 and the operational amplifier IC502-3. The feedback signal, which allows to monitor the value of the output voltage, is formed by the
resistive divider R529 / R530.The stabilized voltage of the channel + 3.3V is applied as a reference signal to the input of the operational
amplifier (on pin 10).

Feedback circuit
Stabilization of other output voltages (+ 3.3V, + 24V and + 32V) is performed by the pulse width modulation method. The duration of the EMF
pulses in all the windings of the T501 transformer is determined by the signal value at CONT (pin 8) of the STR-Z2062 chip. The smaller the
CONT signal, the wider the pulses, and hence the higher the output voltage of the power supply. In turn, the value of the signal CONT is
proportional to the current through the LED of the optocoupler PC501.
The PC501 optocoupler is controlled by an operational amplifier IC502-4 (output pin 14). The current value of the optocoupler PC501 is
determined by the potential difference at the inputs IC502-4 (pin 12 and pin 13). At reference 12, a reference voltage is obtained from the +
24V voltage using the Zener Diodes ZD503 / ZD501 and a variable divider. The variable divider consists of resistors R591 - R597 and R519
and allows you to easily modify the board at the stage of installation under the parameters of the installed elements. To do this, when
manufacturing the board, the corresponding jumpers are soldered, marked on the diagram with dashed semicircular lines. Thus, each circuit
board has its own unique divider and unique reference voltage on the counter 12 of the operational amplifier IC502-4.

The second contact (pin 13) of the amplifier IC502-4 is supplied with the channel voltage + 3.3V through the divider R520 / R528. Thus, the
stabilization of all voltages is carried out by stabilizing the voltage + 3.3V.

Current protection of the channel + 3.3V

The current sensor in the channel + 3.3V is the resistor R514, the voltage drop of which is measured by a comparator built on the operational
amplifier IC502-1. When the potential difference between pin 2 and pin 3 of this comparator reaches the corresponding value, a "high level"
signal is set at its output (pin 1), which is applied to the optocoupler PC502. As a result, the optocoupler "opens" and high-level signals
appear on the input of the CD of the STR-Z2062 chip, which leads to its blocking and shutdown of the power supply.

Current protection of the channel + 24V

The current sensor in the + 24V channel is the resistor R556, the voltage drop of which is measured by the transistor Q511. With a significant
increase in current in the channel, the potential of the base of the transistor becomes less than the potential of its emitter, which leads to the
opening of the transistor.Opening the transistor Q511 provides a high level signal to the PC502 optocoupler, which triggers the protection
and blocking of the STR-Z2062 PWM controller (see the previous paragraph).

Current protection of the channel + 32V

The current protection of the channel + 32V is fully analogous to the current protection of the channel + 24V. Only the current sensor here is
the resistor R561, which controls the transistor marked on the Q5xx circuit. The operation of the current protection leads to the same result
as in the two previous cases.

Protection against overvoltage in the channel + 5V

Protection from overvoltage in the channel + 5V can be provided in two ways:

- Zener diode ZD502;

- comparator, built on the operational amplifier IC502-2.

These two circuits duplicate each other, so in some modifications of the RM1-0834, the comparator circuit can be eliminated. The main
element of the overvoltage protection is the ZD502 zener diode, the opening of which provides a high level signal to the PC502 optocoupler,
which ultimately results in the blocking of the STR-Z2062 PWM controller.

Overvoltage protection in the channel + 24V

The overvoltage protection in the + 24V channel is provided by a zener diode ZD504, the opening of which leads to supply of a voltage to the
optocoupler PC502 and the blocking of the STR-Z2062 PWM controller.

Control scheme of the stove

The stove (image capturing unit) is connected to connector J102. In the control circuit of the stove, you can select: the protective relay RL101
and the control triac Q101, which in turn is controlled by the optocoupler SSR101.
