1、Pass LaboratoriesAleph 3 Service Manualrev 02/1/96Aleph 3 Service Manual.The Aleph 3 is a stereo 30 watt per channel audio power amplifier which operates in single-endedclass A mode.The Aleph 3 has only two gain stages which are biased by current sources. Because of theinherent simplicity of the cir

Two p channel Mosfets form an inputdifferential pair biased by a current source operating at about 20 ma. The drain of the inputMosfet is attached to the gate of an n channel

It is mounted to the rear heat sink.TH1 is a power thermistor used to conn

6、ss inrush current.The power transformer drives a high current bridge and 170,000 uF of capacitance to form a plusand minus 25 volt supply.Referring to the channel itself, Q101 and Q102 form the differential input pair of Mosfets. They arebiased by the current source formed by Q103. Q103 is biased to

7、 about 20 ma by the referenceZener diode Z103 which sets about 5 volts across R106.Z101 and Z102 protect the input from static spikes. R101-104 form the input networks andfeedback loops.The output of the differential input paid drives the gates of output devices Q108 and Q109. Theseparallel devices

8、are matched as close as .01 volts, however variations as high as .1 volts will notimpede operation.The voltage across R108 shows the drive voltage for the output stage, and it should have 4-5 voltsacross it.The output of the amplifier is taken from the drains of Q108 and Q109. Q108 and Q109 areprovi

9、ded a bias current by the current source circuitry of Q106 and Q107, also a matched pair of nchannel Mosfets.Q106 and Q107 are set at 2 amps DC by the network consisting of Q105 and the componentssurrounding it. Q105 is biased by R111 and R112 in series. A capacitor C103 is used to reducesupply nois

10、e. R115 serves to sense the current running through Q106, and feeds that to the baseof Q105, forming a loop that holds the output current at 2 amps. The pn junction drop of Q105forms the reference voltage for the system.R113 is a fixed resistor which trims the DC current value. R114 and C103 adjust

This board holds the power supplycomponents and connects the power stages together.On this diagram you can see the wiring arrangements for the various AC line vo

The black wire is hot AC, and the white is cold AC.The pads between these go to the transformer primaries.Fig 4 and 5 show the component layout of the

15、olt.For a 120 volts AC line, the amplifier will draw about 2 amps RMS. If you measure current drawwith an averaging meter, you will get a smaller number.The amplifier is designed so that the heat sinks will operate approximately 25 degrees C. aboveambient, for a typical temperature of 50 degrees C.

16、Temperature protection occurs at 75degrees C.The amplifier will not be damaged by driving a short circuit, and it is probable that the only failuresyou will see will be random component failure.SPECIFICATIONSGain20 dBFreq.
