INTRODUCTION package. They are, 5 independent power supplies, an analog trainer, a digital and a bredblock assembly trainer. We shall proceed in describing each trainer in the following sections. Congratulations on your purchase of the Elenco® Model XK-550 Digital / Analog Trainer. This trainer is designed to simplify designing of digital and analog circuits. It contains most of the necessary test equipment needed to build and test these circuits.
TESTING THE XK-550 DIGITAL ANALOG TRAINER The following paragraphs give detailed instructions on testing the digital / analog trainer. TESTING THE FUNCTION GENERATOR To test the function generator, you will need an oscilloscope. Connect the scope to the terminal marked FREQ., and the ground clip to the terminal marked GND. Adjust the waveform switch to sine, the coarse frequency switch to 1k and the amplitude control to maximum. Your scope should show a sine wave with an output of about 15Vpp.
TESTING THE LOGIC SWITCHES There are two logic switches and four conditions to be checked out. Connect a wire from the “X” test pin to the “A” logic indicator test pin. Connect another from the “X” test pin to the “B” test pin. TESTING THE DATA SWITCHES There are eight data switches to be checked. The output of the switches are at 5V or ground depending on position. Connect a wire to SW1 terminal and the “A” test pin, the “A” LED should light when the switch is placed toward the top case.
By the addition of a second diode and transformer winding we can fill in the gap between cycles as shown in Figure 4. This circuit is called full-wave rectification. Each diode conducts when the voltage is positive. By adding the two outputs, the voltage presented to capacitor C1 is more complete, thus easier to filter, as shown in Figure 2E. When used in 60 cycles AC input power, the output of a full wave rectifier will be 120 cycles. current.

Transistor Q5 is called the pass transistor. It controls the current reaching the output. Transistor Q3 and Q4 are emitter followers. Their function is to raise the impedance of the pass transistor. Note that transistor Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and resistor R1 form a close loop. Also note that the feedback to the base of Q2 is negative, that is, when the base of Q2 goes positive, the output at emitter Q5 goes negative.
The XR-2206 is comprised of four functional blocks, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), an analog multiplier & sine shaper, a unity gain buffer amplifier and a set of current switches. The VCO produces a squarewave signal. This squarewave is sent to a shaper and converted into a sine wave. THE LOGIC INDICATORS There are eight logic indicators. Figure 9 shows the circuit. It consists of a 74HC04 IC. When the input is over 2.8V, the output of the IC will be low, drawing current through the LED indicator.
