Boost Regulator Circuit Description
This section provides a brief description of the circuitry on the boost
regulator board. Figure 1.1 below shows the configuration for a 5W or
50W PA, along with the main inputs and outputs for power, RF and control
signals. Note that the 60W board is only fitted to the 50W PA. The circuit
description for the rest of the PA is provided in the “Circuit Description”
chapter.
The boost regulator board accepts an input of 12VDC nominal. The input
is firstly fed through the DC input filter, and is then fed through an output
filter to provide the 12VDC (nominal) output for the reciter. The output
from the DC input filter is also fed to the power stage where the voltage is
boosted to 28VDC, and is then fed through an output filter to provide the
28VDC output for the PA circuit boards.
The battery control circuitry monitors the DC input voltage from the
battery. Protection is provided against the wrong input voltage being
supplied. The battery control circuitry also prevents deep discharge of the
battery.

Overview of Inputs and Outputs
This section identifies the main input and output connections for the
TB8100 BSS with 12V PA. Figure 1.2 below identifies the connections at
the front of the base station, and Figure 1.3 on page iii identifies those at the
rear. Refer to the “Connection” chapter for more details.
Important The system control bus terminating circuitry board must be
connected to the system control bus at all times. If the
board is disconnected, the state of much of the bus will be
undefined. This may cause corrupted data to be present on
the bus when the reciter reads the states of the switches on
the control panel. This in turn may result in random actu-
ations of microphone PTT, carrier, or speaker key, causing
the BSS to transmit or the speaker to be actuated incor-
rectly.

DC Power
The TB8100 12V PA is designed to accept a nominal 12VDC input with
negative ground. There is a minimum DC start-up threshold to prevent
damaging a battery which has little capacity left.
You must connect the DC supply from the battery to the PA via a fuse or
DC-rated circuit breaker with the appropriate rating, as shown in the table
below. The DC input leads should be of a suitable gauge to ensure less than
0.2V drop at maximum load over the required length of lead.
