==Internals== | |||
The power supply in the Tektronix 230 is linear and provides regulated of +50 V, +12 V, +3.8 V, +1.75 V, | |||
-3.5 V, and -50 V. It also provides a +255 V unregulated output. The power supply transformer, electrolytic | |||
capacitors, and output transistors are part of the chassis, not a removable unit. Thue regulator circuits | |||
are on a circuit card. | |||
Most of the circuitry of the 230 is on circuit cards that plug into a backplane bus. | Most of the circuitry of the 230 is on circuit cards that plug into a backplane bus. | ||
