PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The LIFEPAK 8 is a modular systen designed to be flexible and expand-
able. The Monitor may be used as part of the LIFEPAK 8 System or as a
compiete stand alone ECG monitor/recorder. The Honitor can interface
with a central station or computer and can accept other Physio-Control
monitoring nodules and display their information. An internal battery
assures that operation will be continuous, even in the event of an ac
Power failure. Recordings my be delayed, real time diagnostic, or
automatic upon alarm, Because of a built-in 10 second delay, alarm
recordings capture pre-alarn events.
The LIFEPAK & Defibrillator incorporates a synchronizer for cardio
Version, special low energy selections for open heart or neonatal
application, and the capability to accept and power an external trans~
chest pacemaker "cassette." Another cassette allows the rapid use
of disposable defibrillator paddles, anterior-posterior, and. internal
paddles while leaving the standard adult external paddles connected and
ready for use. Pediatric paddles slip over the standard adult paddles.
The Defibrillator module also has its ovn internal battery.

1-4. Monitor and Defibrillator System,
The LIFEPAK 8 Monitor and Defibritlator connect by a latching fin
assenbly or an accessory cable. Either method provides three optically
isolated communication’ channels which carry ‘Analog Data, Tri-State
Control, and Defibrillator Serial Data. Each channel is multiplexed to
conserve hardware. (See Figure 1-2.)

fe Monitor uses a Seria]. Data Bus for Internal and. external
Tremutcation. ‘Serial dove is transmitted Sn’ packets contotning from 7
forge Kytese” packets are separated by 0 nuit period during wich the
Sita bus remains High
eof these date packets c{rvlate around an internal loop_comecting
the Honitor's three microprocessors. Refer to Figure 1-3. The Control
Pea's. Executive microprocessor generates packets at reguiar intervals.
The ECG slcropracessor receives. this data, makes changes, and. passes
the packets on to. the Gateway microprocessor, Again changes are made
as" data Is updated.” These moaified packets return to the Executive
iicroprocessor and the cycle begins agains
The Defibrillator also generates a data packet containing Pacing
Cassette and Defibrillator status information and requests. This data
is received by both Gateway and Executive microprocessors.
With the Monitor and Defibrillator connected, turning on the Defibril-
lator will automatically turn on the Monitor in PADDLES mode. (Note
that a switch in the Nonitor may be set so that LEAD II 1s almays
selected at power-on. Refer to paragraph 3-5 and Table 3-3). Monitor
power is activated by a burst of serial data, containing the wake-up
byte, transmitted across nomally powered optical channel ‘three. "If the
Wonitor is already on, the wake-up byte 1s ignored.
When Defibrillator power is on, a serial data string is sent to the
Monitor at .41 second intervals. The string contains discharge status,
Pacing Cassette data, and failure codes. These packets of data are
coded for annotation on the Recorder or CRT alphanumeric display.
Optical chenne! two is used to communicate cardioversion sync signals
‘oF QUIK-LOOK request to the Defibrillator. The Monitor then "watches"
optical channel one for receipt of PADDLES/EVECLOSE carrier frequencies.
Detection of these carriers establishes Defibrillator presence. and
allows entry to the desired node of operation. QUIK-LOOK ECG is obtain-
ed from a switched off Defibrillator when the Monitor electronically
turns the paddles preamplifier power on.
QUIK-PACE utilizes Monitor and Defibrillator resources to provide
external transchest pacing impulses. All three optical channels support
this function. Power and audible tones for QUIK-PACE are provided. by
the Defibrillator. “Message printout and display, and R wave synchron
ization are Monitor functions.
LIFEPAK 8 system integrity is constantly tested by each of its six
microprocessors. Tests include RAM, ROM, and software module check
sums. Failure detection results in selective inhibition of system
Performance based on the nature of the problem. Any fault detection
causes a SERVICE alert to be given.
Versatility of LIFEPAK 8 is significantly increased through use of two
external interfaces. Both Monitor and Defibrillator function as. hosts

Defibrillator operation is controlled by two push button panels; one of
wnich has a rotary switch. These panels also carry circuitry used for
display of energy information and status annunciators. Energy discharge
is controlled solely by paddle discharge switches; charge may also
be initiated by a paddle switch. The lower panel. push buttons control
low energy settings and sync mode selection. The upper panel push
buttons are used for ON/OFF control, energy selection, and charge
initiation. Actuation of any push button is accompanied by tactile
feedback and an electronic audible click. Push button and indicator
functions are outlined in Table 2-3.
Synchronized cardioversion can be selected. This feature uses the
patient's monitored ECG signal (R wave) to trigger the Defibrillator
discharge. The LIFEPAK B Monitor must be connected to the LIFEPAK &
Defibrillator to use this feature. The synchronized discharge is used
to correct atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or other arrhythmias.
Figure 1-5 shows how, by using the R wave as the triggering signal, the
defibrillating energy pulse is delivered at the proper tine. ‘This
avoids the undesireable T wave portion of the ECG signal where
electrical shock may cause ventricular fibrillation.

‘the systen operation of the’ LP8 Monitor, Defibrillator, and Pacing
Cassette as well as the operation of individual printed circuit boards
Schematic diagrans of these PCBS appear in Section 5. Refer to the

LP 8 MONITOR
Paragraphs 1-9 through 1-88 provide circuit descriptions for the
Charger, Power Supply, ECS Preamp, Contro?, Gateway, CRT, and Anode
Supply PCB Assemblies and the Recorder PFC Assembly.
The Monitor Interconnect Diagram (Figure 5-8) provides interconnection
data for all the subassenb] ies.
CHARGER PCB ASSEMBLY (802821).
The Monitor Charger PCB (see Figures 1-6 and 5-9) functions as a switch-
ing power supply to maintain Tine isolation. After rectification and
filtering, dc voltages are supplied for Monitor operation and battery
‘charge current. The Monitor will function even with variations in the
Tine voltage from SOV to 127V RAS (domestic units) or fron 180V to 264V
RMS (international units). Regulation of the Monitor's power supply
voltages is achieved by pulse width modulation; the longer the pulse
width from the power supply to the transformer, the higher the current
output for a given voltage. The Charger PCB also controls relay switch
ing. (required for battery operation), and provides charge and battery
operation annunciator drive signals.
AC line conditioning circuitry rectifies and
Voltage is split between Cl and C2, allowing the
circuit to operate as a voltage doubler. When a switch from pin 5 to
pin 7 of Jl is open, peak-to-peak Vine voltage is effectively applied
across bath Cl and C2 for operation on 220V line. When this switch is
Closed, peak-to-peak line voltage 1s applied across Cl alone during the

voltage surge will also cause VRI to conduct so that Fl opens before the
voltage on Cl and C2 increases greatly. L6 reduces susceptibility
to common mode voltage spikes by presenting a high inductance to common
mode currents. RTI protects CRl by limiting inrush current. Following
inrush, a steady current drops the resistance of RTI from about 5 ohms

Tatches on.” CR? conducts in the reverse direction to charge C6 "and

due to the charge across C5, long enaugh for power to begin to flow
through L3 back to transformer Tl. The high voltage at C5 maintains a
forward bias across CR7 and keeps Q4 and Q3 turned on. This prevents
any bootstrap pulses after successful start-up has occurred. If the

Between pulses, 12 reflects a low impedance fron gate to source for both
QL and 2 keeping them off. For any given pulse, @ positive voltage is
applied gate to source for one FET, and a negative voltage is applied to
tthe other due to the winding polarities of T2. Gate drive signals are
prevented from exceeding the 20V gate to source maximum rating of the
FETs by CRZ or through CRS. RB and RS control the speed of turn off and
‘turn on, which reduces ringing, preventing unwanted very high frequency
oscillation of Ql and Q2, C3 provides a high frequency current return
path to the storage capacitors Cl and C2, which ensures that the dc
Current through the transformer is always zero. C4 and R5 reduce the
amplitude and duration of leakage inductance caused ringing which might
otherwise damage Ql or Q2. F2 is used to protect Tl.
Rectifiers/Fiiters, This circuitry provides rectification, f¥lterings
voTtage Timiting. Resistors R24 and R25 are also used’ for current
Timiting in the event of a fault affecting the nomally very low current
sense output, The inductors L3, L, and LS are used not only for
Filtering but for regulation as ‘well. These inductors average the
‘output pulses to derive a pulse width dependent voltage. When there is
‘no appreciable Toad however (such as when the Monitor is turned off) the
Inductors lose their regulating effect, and the filtered voltage can
rise to nearly equal the transformer output. However, CR23 and CR24
prevent the +21V and +30V lines from rising above 425V and #39V, respec-
tively, C12 and R20 provide additional protection of CRIS’ and the
switching transistors.
High Line Shutdown. During Tine voltage surges, the rectified Tine
Yottage may rise to levels dangerous to Q1 and Q2, But not high enough
to cause either varistor to conduct and open Fl. To increase their
resistance to these line voltage surges, Ol and (2 are kept off by the
high Tine shutdown circuit. CR@ and CRS are 200V zener diodes. If the
rectified line voltage rises to approximately 7 volts above the conbined
CRB and CRO voltages, enough current flows into U1, pin 10, to cause UL
to automatically shut down. CRIO protects the input voltage at U1, pin
10, preventing it from exceeding a safe level.

primary on tine, and the greater the power output. The +5V supply is
applied to UAB," pin 6, and compared with the +5V UNSW reference. | The
resulting error voltage varies inversely to the +5V supply. The feed-

discharges C11 to below *5¥ UNSW and the voltage on C15 is allowed to

consecutive times without a reset, and the third bit (03) goes high.
Fhis causes the monostable multivibrator U29B to fire a positive pulse
which turns on the Monitor by setting U2B.
The monostable multivibrators U28A and U28B are set so that when their
outputs are NANDed together, a logic low pulse is generated concurrently
with the clock pulse from U29A which only occurs for a 122 Hz square
wave. If the reset input is only enabled during the clock pulse, and
the WANDed signal is used for the reset, then reset does not occur and
the counter counts up. If anything other than a 122Hz square wave is,

the Q output of UZ6 goes low. 26, a retriggerable monostable mlti-

ECG POB ASSEMBLY (802833).
The ECG PCB (see Figures 1-8, ECG PCB Block Diagram and 5-11) is the
primary processor of patient generated electrical signals. Circuitry is,
provided for gzin control and filtering of these signals so they may be
used in the rest of the LIFEPAK 8. A microprocessor controls all
‘operations performed by the ECG PCB. The microprocessor exchanges
information with the Gateway and Control PCBs through the serial data
Toop. In addition the ECG PCS performs the following functions: R Kave
detection, sync pulse generation, heart rate calculation, demodulation
fof QUIK-LO0K ECG, electronic lead selection, leads off detection, and
heart rate alarms.
ECG Microprocessor. The microprocessor, UI9, is a 6301, 8 bit single
‘thip-aicroprocessor with 4K bytes. of internal ROM. This memory space
contains the special purpose program that is required for control of €CS
Preamp PCB signal processing. The microprocessor clock 1s derived from
an external 4iliz crystal, Yi.
The RESET line, fed from the Honitor power supply to U9, pin 6, is held
low for the First 100ns of power application. When RESET goes high, the
microprocessor latches 1/0 Port 2, bits 0, 1, 2 into the program contro?
register, selecting mode 5 (nonnultiplexed/partial decode) which
prograns ‘the T/0 ports as follows:
Port 1
Port 2
Port 3
Port 4
Paraliel 1/0 only, U19, pins 13-20
Parallel and seriat 1/6, U19, pins 8-12
Data bus, U19, pins 30-37
A(0-3) and input only, U19, pins 22-29
The starting address of the program is also loaded into the program
counter when RESET goes high.
Also at power-on the state of DIP switch SI is read by UI9, pins 14
through 17, to configure software, Sl-1 (the rocker switch closest to
the rear of the Monitor) selects 50/60Hz notch filter for PADDLES (open
= 60liz). S1-2 through S1-4 should also be open during normal
operation.
Circuitry connected to the data bus is selected and enabled through
decode Togic. The dual multiplying OAC, UI7, is selected when E and Al
are high and 10S is low. U16C, pin 8, goes Tow, enabling date to be
written to DAC A or 8 depending’ upon the state of A(O). Data is read
from analog to digital converter, U29, when E and AZ are high and 10S is
low. This data is manipulated by the program for R wave detection or
digital filtering as required.
Serial data packets from the Control PCB, pass through U19 carrying
information about the Honitor system, Alarm limit, CAL, SYNC ON, GAIN,
and PACE ON information is loaded into the microprocessor. HEART RATE,
ALARM HIGH, LOW TRIP and LEADS OFF are sent out to the Gateway PCE
(See Figure’ §-13).

Inputs and outputs of the ECG microprocessor are listed below:
QRS = software detects and sends out at UI9, pin 20. SYNC Pulses are
‘generated within U19 and delivered through pin 19.
CAL - active when the user wishes to inject a known signal into the
preamp.
LEAD SELECT - outputs enable the user to look at the patient's ECG
through different lead combinations. Port 1, bits 1, 2, 3 provide a
LEAD SELECT word that is decoded by the isolated preamp’ enabiing certain
Yeads to be processed by the Monitor.
LEADS/PRODLES - enables switching circuits for routing lead or paddles
ECG through the system.
EYECLOSE ENABLE - active whenever the Pacing Cassette is on; allows ECS
to be disabled during pacing pulse and is also used during fast restore.
= is fed to the ECG baseline restore circuit whenever 2
new lead is selected.
EVECLOSE - received from the DefibriTlator when a pacing pulse is
inminent.
OVERLOAD - is received when the baseline restore circuit is triggered.
Isolated Poner Supply. Isolated dc voltages are necessary to protect
he patTert- fron hazérdous leakage currents. Circuitry in the isolated
preamp requires +15V and -15V. Nonisolated +15V is modulated into a
B4.5kHz square wave and transformer coupled to a full wave bridge
rectifier in the isolated secondary. This rectified signal is then
filtered for use by the isolated preamp.
The 34.5kHz transformer drive, applied to the primary of 12, is
generated by a triggered pulse’ width modulator, U6. A 69kHz square
wave, applied to the gate of Q2, is obtained from counters U22 and U23
Which are configured to divide the Miz clock by a factor of 58. The
Grain of Q2 is tied to a network that triggers US to operate at 34.5kiiz.
Diodes ¢R6 and CR7 clamp the UG outputs to +15V for protection from
voltage transients.
The isolated 24.5kHz, present on the center-tapped secondary of T2, is
applied to a full wave bridge rectifier, CR3. Positive signal excur-
Sions at the ac inputs to CR3 are stored on C16 and become isolated
415¥dc. Negative swings are stored on C17 and becone isolated -15 Véc.
Isolated Preamplifier, The isolated preamplifier provides input buffer-
‘ing, lead sefection, common mode rejection and. patient protection fron
Teakage currents. The output ECG is modulated and transformer coupled
across the isolation barrier for additional amplification and signal
processing.
ECG signals are coupled into the preamp through J3, from a three, four
or five lead cable attached to patient electrodes. Surge protectors,

by the ECG microprocessor, is applied to the opto-isolators U25 through
U27. A high on pin 1 of CNY65 (U25 through U28) turns on the internal
transistor, grounding one of the control lines of U38 through U40. If
any opto-fsolators are off, pull-up resistors in RWIO, force these

A calibration signal may be switched into U7A, pin 5, through UlO pins 2
‘and 3, The 10nV CAL signal is derived from a *5.1V' reference in UB and
divided by RNI7. Pressing the Front Panel CAL key causes U10 to output
the calibration ‘signal.
‘The ECG from U7A, pin 7, passes through Eyeclose switch, US. This
switch isolates the ECG signal circuitry from pacing pulses. When the
Pacing Cassette is ony switch U36 is closed between pins 10 and Il.
This allows the EYECLOSE signal appearing as a high at U36A, pin 14, to
bass shrough UB6 and tum U9 oft (te, UK and UBC ave opened and UBB fs
closed).
The ECG signal output from U9, pin 10, is applied to the non-inverting
input of U7D. This op anp stage serves as a low-pass filter, elimi-
nating any switch-bounce fron U9. The output. signal of U70 ‘is then
passed to a bandpass amplifier that has a nominal gain of 50.
Oc offsets of + 4V or greater at U78 will trigger an output from the
baseline restore window detector at U30, pin 1. The resulting negative
output prevents UTA, pin 7 from latching at a voltage rail condition.
[At the time U30A, pin 1 goes low, Schmitt trigger USE, pin 8, will go
high. The result fs an OVERLOAD'signal to the ECG microprocessor that
inhibits R wave detection routines.
The baseline is restored through U7C when U30A activates 04, which turns
Q3 off. The ECS microprocessor closes U9D, pins 6 and 7, by activating
the SHITCH SROOTH Tine for approximately 20ns in response to the
OVERLOAD signal. The charge stored on C82 holds 3 on for approximately
4 seconds.

‘passed through the optical interface or directly through an interconnect

Frequency modulated ECS is input through PJ, pin 2A, or Pl, pin 5B. U37
optically ‘isolates the Defibrillator cable input.” Connection of the
cable grounds Pl, pin 28, which in turn pulls 36, pin 6, low. The out-
put at U37, pin 3, is now switched to U36, pins 2’and 5." Paddles signal
From Pi, pin 2h, is present at 36, pin 5, with no DeffbriNlator cable

The selected paddles signal is 2c coupled through C69 and amplified by
USA and U338. Capacitor C60 decouples the output of 33 for applica:
tion to the phase locked loop (PLL), U34. The PLL converts ac to dc
with an increased frequency resulting in a greater dc output. The
paddles ECG center frequency is 1SkKz and deviates + SkHz when actively

The Control PCB (see Figures 1-9 thru 1-11 and Figure 5-12) consists of
‘two functional parts, the executive microprocessor and the display con-
troller. The Executive microprocessor circuitry serves as the interface
between’ the user and the LP 8 system. The display controller provides
the timing signals and menory functions for both the alphanumeric raster
and analog trace displays.
1-46. Executive Microprocessor. The Executive microprocessor, U6, provides
he mode Tagie for the-entire LP 8 Monitor. This iss. HD603. micro
processor with 128 bytes of internal RAM and no internal ROM. It
executes software resident in the executive EPROM UI5. The micro-
Processor accesses the EPROM through the eight bit address/data bus,
buffered by U7 and multiplexed by U16. The upper addresses are directly
applied to the EPROM and the chip select input is provided by decoder
UB. This decoder is also used to address control latches and text RAM.
‘The microprocessor controls the system through three Tatches: Audio Con-
tro} Latch UI7, Display Control Latch U35, and Analog Control Latch U3.
The microprocessor clock consists of crystal Y1 and capacitors C9 and
C10." The microprocessor divides this 4illz down and provides a 1Nz, E
Clock output. This signal is conbined with the 4#Hz signal through
flip-flop U9, an OR gate, and 2 inverters to provide a signal used to

Gecoder U2 and microprocessor port 2).
Audio Interface. The microprocessor, through the tone latch U17,
provides the user with audio alaras, RS beep volume control, and an
audible key click each time a push button is pressed. The audio alas

‘The QRS volune (systole beep) is adjustable through eight tone levels by
digitally varying the gain of U228. A 40ms QRS pulse AND-ed with 4kiz

bit code from outputs 2 through Q4 of tone Tatch UI7 causes U36 to
switch different resistor combinations into the input of UZ2B. This
Provides the adjustable gain.
The audible key click is controlled by UL7, pin 12. This output is
applied to amplifier U228 through CRI4. The microprocessor applies a
GOus pulse to this stage whenever it detects a push button being pressed.
Display/Recorder Interface. The Executive microprocessor controls the
‘Operating mode of the Recorder and the CRT through display control latch
U35. Two of the latch outputs are used as hardware interrupt enables/
disables (pins 2 and 6). Pin 2 gates the text interrupt (IR01 ENABLE)
to the microprocessor; pin 6 gates the trace interrupt (| ).
When UG receives a text interrupt, it updates the CRT essage fields.
When 2 trace interrupt is received, the microprocessor takes 2 new ECG
trace A/D sample and writes the new sample to the trace latch, U61.
U35, pins 5 and 9 provide the trace FREEZE and SWEEP SPEED features
and’are direct inputs to U58, the no fade gate array.
U35, pins 12, 15, and 19, are Recorder control lines. A low output on
pin'19 turns’ the Recorder on. Pins 12 and 15 provide the following
logic when the Recorder is on:
Pin 12 Pin 15 Result

1 ° Diagnostic Record

(This only happens
when Recorder is in
Delay mode.)
35, pin 16, provides the sync interface enable signal which allows the
LP 4 to perform synchronous cardioversion. This signal is also used in
pacing.
When a text interrupt is received by U6, the Executive microprocessor
updates the CRT Text RAM UN7. US has access to the text RAM for a
minimum of 1.0ns following the falling edge of the text update signal
‘at analog switch U13D, pin 14. The microprocessor accesses the Text RAN
through data buffer U19 and address latch Ul8. The decoder UB is used
to provide enable and read/write signals to the buffer, latch and RAM.
The analog control latch U31 controls the low end cutoff of the ECG
trace input to the cardioscope. It is used to trigger and read the
trace A/D converter and to select either a peripheral device trace or
the ECG preamp trace.

288. This circuitry consists of two gain stages and low and high pass
filters. The input is selected by the analog control latch, U31. The
trace signal is switched by analog switch U23A, U23B, applied ‘to an
active low pass filter with a gain of 2, and then applied to a high
pass filter with a cutoff frequency of ‘elther .25 or .8Hz. This is
Selectable by one of the service switches on SI (Refer to paragraph
1-47). USL selects .25Hz based on input from UZ3C except when PADDLES
are chosen, then USL always selects .8H2.
The trace signal is then buffered with voltage follower U220 and appli-
ed to A/D converter U30 which is connected to the microprocessor data
bus.
Trace Controller. The no fade analog display, sync marker generation,
waveform reconstruction, and Recorder memory’ circuitry functions are
AIT implemented by the’ trace controller circuitry and no fade gate
array, USB.
The E clock of microprocessor US, is prescaled by raster controller
gate array, U#9, to provide U5B with a 400kHz clock signal.
FIGURE 1-11, CONTROL PCB: DISPLAY CONTROLLER BLOCK DIAGRAM

Description
The duration of the no fade cycle is variable depending on the state of
the FREEZE and 250ms/S0ms control lines. If FREEZE is high, then the
gycle is 1024 address tines long, or about 5.12ns. Although’ there are
2048 bytes of trace menory, only 1024 of these are addressed in any
trace cycle, allowing the Recorder delay to be longer than the amount of
data displayed on the CRT. In order to freeze the display, the starting
address of each cycle must be identical.
When the FREEZE signal is low and the 25ms/SURE signal is high, the
display enters a mode in which the analog data sweeps from right to’ left
across the CRT at Z5m/s. In this mode, the no fade cycle is 1025
‘addresses long with the extra address time being devoted to Recorder
update. Since the address is that of the oldest data in menory at the
end of a cycle, the Recorder update occurs 10 seconds after the data was
acquired. In addition to allowing Recorder update, the added address
‘time causes the starting address to increase by one each cycle. Thus,
the displayed franes add one byte of new data each trace cycle. As a
result, the trace appears to move across the CRT.
In the 50m/s mode, both the FREEZE Tine and the 25ms/50RRS line are
Tow. The cycle 4s 1026 addresses long, made possible by adding another
Recorder update tine at the end of the cycle. This results in the
starting address of the cycle advancing by two addresses per cycle,
or twice that of the 25m/s mode. The visual result is a moverent of
data at double speed, or S0mm/s. Another effect of the double Recorder
Update 1s that unlike the previous mode, the newest data is written into
two bytes and preserved since the next cycle does not cause overwriting
of the older data. This results in the delay tine of the buffer being
reduced to 5 seconds. The recorder display is not affected by the
double update since the data is the some in both bytes. In effect, the
extra Recorder update has no effect on the Recorder, but allows a longer
cycle tine with a minimum of internal circuitry.
The addresses that have been discussed are internally generated in USE,
‘the no fade gate array, and are used to address memories U63 and U64.
Actual analog data is stored in U64 and is controlled by US8 through
the R/, NSE, and AQl Tines. U63 is essentially in parallel with U64
and 1s controled by the same signals. This byte wide memory 1s used
for sync storage and eyeclose storage. The other six bits are unused,
In addition, the bytes of U63 are mapped to USS on a 1:2 basis, as is
evident by the fact that AO does not drive U63.
Digitized data 1s presented to the memory from US, by U61, an octal
tri-state latch. This Tatch is enabled only during memory write times
by the no fade gate array signal LATCH OE. Data fs latched into U61 by
the microprocessor's, TRACE LATCH ENABLE. The executive software
quarantees that a new byte of data is entered into the latch after
receiving a TRICE UPDATE signal from USS and before 5.10ns pass. TRACE
LATCH’ ENABLE is generated at the end of each no fade cycle by the
terminal count detection circuitry. The following are other memory
control functions generated by the no fade gate array:

Description
RDU Defines address periods during which the Recorder is
updated
NSE Defines address periods during which menory is updated
The data from the analog monory is bused to dual DAC, U65, which has
internal Tatching.
USB, pin 10 4s a power-on input signal to the US8. At power-on, this
signal is low for 1.5 seconds. “When this input is held low, the
functions of LATCH GE, NSE, R/R and the address line A10 change
slightly. Instead of indicating the read and write intervals as defined
above, LATCH OE is always inactive, inhibiting data from U6. In
addition, USS, pin 4 (WSE), is always high, disebling the memory
outputs,” and R/ is pulsed on every address.’ Since RNI4 pulls the
enory data lines to hexadecimal 80, this value is read into all memory
‘addresses. To allow this to occur in 1.5 seconds instead of 10 seconds,
‘the conplenenting of Al0 at the end of a no fade cycle is inhibited when
PUR UP is Tow. The 80 hex represents an output of zero in the offset
binary representation used by USS. The result is thet the no fade RAM
is cleared to prevent randon data fron being displayed at turn on.
UGEA and US6C form current to voltage buffers for the CRT and Recorder
DACs respectively. Output voltages range fron 0 to -5V. Components
Us68, RNIS, CSB and C59 form the first stage of four pole, low pass,
Butterworth filter with a -3 d8 point at approximately 37kHz.” U66B also
Deavides offset and scaling of the stonel to within a range of #8V to
“8.
USED, RNIS, C64 and C65 form a low pass reconstruction filter for the
Recorder system with a -3 8 point at 592. However, the scaling and
offset of this anplifier is such that the output range is +2.5V to
-2.5V. An additional function is performed by this buffer. The
synthesized. syne marker for the Recorder is presented to the non-
Snverting reference terminal of US60. Normally, this signal is at zero
vaTts and the ECG is reproduced normally. However, when RECORDER SYNC
WARK is high, the output of the Recorder buffer is driven toward the
positive supply rail, generating the syne mark which is printed on the
Recorder paper.
Easy selection of a lon/n scale factor for European Monitors or a
L.Tocm/a scale factor for domestic Monitors is provided by Sl, pins &
and 9. When open, the ratio is :1 and the attenuation into ‘the CRT
deflection systen {s increased, since R40 forms a divider with the input
‘impedance of the ECG buffer amp Tocated on the CRT PCB. When this
switch is closed, the ratio is 1:1.7, R60 1s shorted, and there fs no
attenuation.
UGTA provides a means of making one gain adjustment to calibrate both
CRT and Recorder buffer gains. Matching of the monolithic DACS in U65
is excellent, as is the ratio tracking of the resistors in RNIS. Thus,
by varying the reference voltage to the DACs and the buffer amps, 2
Single adjustment can be used. US7 forns a noninverting amplifier with
a gain of lel in series with an attenuator whose range 1s .7B to 1. The
net result is an adjustable reference of approximately 8V.

Description
The remaining function of US8 is that of sync marker generation. The
delayed data’ is removed from U63 and internally processed by USB to
yield a single pulse at the rising edge of each sync period. CRT SYNC
WARK has a duration of 5 microseconds whereas RECORDER SYNC MARK has 2
duration of 5.12 milliseconds. UGOA provides isolation between the ECG
microprocessor SYNC signal and the bidirectional DELAYED SYNC line.
Raster Controller. The raster controller gate array, U49, generates the
‘timing and addressing necessary for the character display. The Execu-
tive microprocessor clock US, pin 40, provides the INHz signal required
for timing. Internal prescalers divide this frequency to 400kHz for the
no, fade gate array, "UBB, and 00KKe for the baste: character tine
interval.
The state of the display at any time is determined by timing signals
derived from U49 and the TRACE UPDATE and MSE signals from USB. The
state transition sequence and timing are outlined below.
STATE, DURATION. EXTERNAL SIGNAL CONDITION
TRACE 5.12ms TRACE = 0
HORIZONTAL
RETRACE 1 1.26ns HRT = 15 SLOW SNP
RASTER 7.560s RASTER = 0
WAIT 5.04ns TRACE = 15 HRT = 0
RASTER = 1
HORIZONTAL
RETRACE 2 1.02ns HRT = 15 SLOW SHP = 0
The internal timing signals are generated by a string of counters which
also generate the addressing for the text RAM during the raster state.
These counters essentially count the 18 characters per column of the
display (15 visible characters during vertical sweep, 3 invisible
characters during vertical retrace), seven vertical scan lines per
character column, and six colums. Because a character requires seven
scan lines to be formed, the address sequence for a character colum
must be repeated seven tines. At the end of the last character column,
the display controller enters a wait state. This wait state serves two
purposes: it reduces the power dissipation in the display drivers by
lowering the active duty cycle and it provides a dead time to take up
minor timing discrepancies between the no fade gate array and raster
controler gate array.

Addressing of U47 by U&9 is not sequential since operation requires
scanning by colunn. Addressing by U6 is sequential, since messages are
formed horizontally.
As a test feature, jumper JB1, pins 1 and 7, and resistor, R67, are
provided to continually deselect Ul7. This allows the outputs of the
text RAM to be pulled high by RNI3. Since the microprocessor bus is
isolated from the U47 bus during the raster display period, this selects
the character code 7F hex, which corresponds to x. Removing jumper JB1,
pins 1 and 7, will display all x's on the CRT providing @ regular test
pattern to allow easy verification of display operation.
The display requires approximately 108 bytes, only 2 small portion of
‘the memory’ available in U&7. The remaining menory is usable by US as
auxiliary storage but it is accessible only during horizontal retrace.
R12 provides series impedance between UI8 and U49 in the event that
both I.C.'s inadvertently try to drive the text address bus simuitane-
ously.” Normally the timing is such that this does not occur, however,
‘this impedence limits the power dissipation in each component should
bus contention occur due to hardware or software malfunction.
Gate array U49, pins 31 and 32, are signals which control vertical
retrace and rastering. RASTER " eVRT controls the vertical retrace
amplifier by turning it on during the 30 microseconds corresponding to
the invisible characters of each column. A high signal on this line
indicates vertical retrace. RASTER + VAT controls the vertical sweep
amplifier by turning it on during the 150 microseconds corresponding to
tthe visible characters of a colusn. A low signal on this Tine indicates
vertical sweep.

GATEWAY PCB ASSEMBLY (902635).
The Gateway PCB (see Figures 1-12 and 5-13) controls the exchange of
data between a LP 8 Monitor and the Defibrillator, a Central Monitor
System (CHS) or other external device. The Gateway PCB is able to
transmit and receive both serial and parallel data. Parallel data is
used only on the Gateway address/data bus. A serial data format is used
for all communications external to the Monitor. Refer to paragraph 1-4
for additional serial data information.
The LP 8 Recorder PCB receives control signals, real time clock set-

Comnication with the RTC is accomplished by using two successive
instruction cycles. uring the first cycle, the RTC is provided with an

cycle. The data to be loaded represents time settings and other control
data required for operation of the RTC.
The address cycle begins when UB, pin 13, goes low. This low fs. invert:

also resets UI6A through U19B, providing RTC CE. (Note that ULEA was

it pattern and send it, along with PRINT, to. the printer latch (on the
Recorder PFC). Printer message formatting 1s accomplished ‘through a
software routine.
Once U1 has retrieved a bit pattern and placed it in internal buffer, it
will address the printer latch, forcing U8, pin 14, low. This low is
inverted by UI6C and NANDed with E; PRINT goes Tow. ‘When E is high, the
bit pattern is available on the data bus. PRINT goes high at the end of
the E period and causes the bit pattern to be latched by the printer.
The speed at which the Recorder operates will determine how often the
Printer {s updated with a new pattern, the printer 1s updated every 6ns
for S0my/sec and every 12ns for 25m/sec speeds.
External Comunication. Serial communication between the LP 8 and
‘external devices Ts controlled by the Gateway PCB. General” purpose
asynchronous communication interface adapter circuits (ACIA), U2 and U3,
act as translators between the Gatevay parallel data bus and external
equipment. These devices operate under control of the U1 software. The
ACIAS are addressed by U8, pins 9 and 10, when either of these pins go
lon. Other UI control Tines, R/M, £, and RS are also necessary to
direct operation of U2 and U3. The DIP switches SI-1 through S1-8
are used for signature analysis and should be fn the open position for
normal Gateway operation.
The operational cycle begins with initialization of the ACIA. The
control register is loaded with data from Ul on the trailing edge of E
when UB, pin 9, (low any tine U2 is enabled), RS and R/W are low. The
device is now ready for operation. Transmission of a character begins
when data is written into the transmit data register on the falling edge
of E when RS is high and R/W is Tow. AIT other transmit operations are
hhandied by the ACIA automatically. Characters are received and stripped
of start/stop bits automatically. The microprocessor checks the status
register to see if anything new has arrived. If so, a read cycle is,

The CRT PCB (see Figures 1-15 and 5-14) incorporates al1 the analog
driver circuitry necessary to support the hybrid analog trace and the
alphanumeric display. The PCB's four major functions are horizontal
deflection, vertical deflection, intensity control, and voltage refer-
ence, Timing signals and the analog display signal’ are provided by the
Control PCB.

Section 1
Description
The sequence of events during one 20ns display cycle is as follows:
for Sms the bean moves from left to right across the CRT providing an
ECG trace. Next is a 1.25ms horizontal retrace and beam positioning
period. Following that, 7.6us are used for raster construction during
which the beam fs deflected’ about one quarter of the way across the CRT,
from left to right at about 1/9 of its ECG trace speed. Ouring this
time the intensity is modulated by the DOTS signal to display the
alphanumeric information. After completion of raster construction the
beam is blanked and swept to the right at normal ECG trace speed across
the remainder of the CRT. There 1s a 1.54ms second horizontal retrace
and beam positioning perfod and then the cycle begins again.
The timing of this cycle fs controlled by two digital signals, HRT and
SLOW SNP. These signals drive U2, which contains three two-to-one
multiplexers. Multiplexers x (U2, pin 14) and Z (U2, pin 4) perform
current steering functions for the sweep generator, Ul, while multi-
plexer Y (U2, pin 15) acts as an inverter driving the sweep generator
reset transistor, Ql.
Horizontal Sweep Generator. The sweep generator, Ul and associated
‘components, "provides the” drive. signal, for the horizontal detlection
circuit. UIA is configured as an inverting integrator. When SLOW SWP
is low, input X0 of U2 1s switched to output X, allowing current. to flow
from the positive reference through RNS and R3. This current enters the
summing node of the integrator. Alternatively, when SLOW SMP is high,
input X1 of U2 4s switched to output X, allowing current to flow from
the positive reference through RNG and RS into the sunming node of the
integrator. These currents cause the output voltage of UIA to ramp
negatively’ at rates dependent on the settings of R3 and RS. AS a
result, R3, which allows a larger current to flow, determines the sweep
rate during trace. Similarly, R5, which controls a smaller current
flow, determines character width during raster scan.
During the interval when HRT is high, the Y output of U2 floats, allox-
‘ng RNB to pull the gate of Ql to ground. Ql turns on, discharging C3,
which effectively resets the integrator. When HRT is low, the gate of
QL is pulled to +5V, causing the FET to turn off and allowing the
integrator to function. Diodes CR22 to CR25 act as clanps to Timit the
differential input voltages to UIA and UIB.
U1B performs tho functions related to sweep generation. It provides an
Offset which determines the horizontal position of the trace or charac~
ters, and it also provides a linearity correction.
When SLOW SHP is ow, current flows from the positive reference UID
through RNB and R14 to the Z output of U2 and into the summing node of
UIB. "A high SLOW SMP signal causes current to flow from the positive
reference through RNG and R13 to to the Z output. Consequently RIS
determines raster character horizontal position and R14 determines ECG
trace horizontal position,
A yoke current change of Imi at the edge of the CRT face causes greater
deflection than a ImA change at the center of the CRT face. To compen-
sate for this effect, the gain of UlB 1s made to decrease by approxi-
mately 128 for large’ outputs from UIA. The point at which the gain

decrease occurs is determined by the reference voltage (from UIC),
CRI, CR2, and the ratio of the 249k and 69.8k resistors of RNB. The
magnitude of the gain reduction is controlled by the ratio of the 69.8K
resistor of RNB and the 10K feedback resistor of RMI.

the quiescent current of U3. Under these conditions resistors R16 and
RI7 fave approximately 400ai across then. If, for example, the output
of U3 goes positive, additional current flows from the’ +5V supply
through R16, U3, and R17 to ground. This current increases the voltage
drop across’ RIG, increasing the base to emitter voltage of Q2. For
sufficiently large currents, Q2 turns on, delivering current to the load.
Conversely when the output of U3 swings ‘sufficiently negative, Q3 turns

fone supply to ground and not between supplies. This prevents
both current boosting transistors from turning on simultaneously.
Horizontal Retracer Amplifier. During horizontal retrace, it is
necessary to reposTtion the beam quickly to the left side of’ the CRT.
The horizontal deflection amplifier, powered by the *V supply, is
Unable to drive the large horizontal’ yoke inductance fast enough.” In
order to accelerate horizontal retrace, a retrace amplifier 1s employed.
This switchable current source consists of R20 and Q4, and is controlled
by HRT through Q5.. When HRT goes high, Q5 turns on, driving the base of
4 Tow and producing a voltage across R20. This ‘determines magnitude
of the retrace current source. CRE in deflection amplifier prevents
‘current fron entering the +5V supply instead of the yoke.
When yoke current is less than that required at the end of horizontal
retrace, the deflection anplifier is saturated trying to drive more
Current’ through. the yoke. At sone point the yoke voltage drops low
enough so that the deflection amplifier can supply current to the yoke
fn addition to that supplied by the retrace amplifier. The deflect ion
amplifier adjusts this additional current through its feedback until the
proper current is achieved.
[At the end of horizontal retrace, HRT goes low turning Q5 and Q4 off.
At this point, the deflection amplifier begins to supply the entire yoke
current, which is proportional to its input voltage.
Vertical Deflection. The vertical deflection system produces a series
‘OF raster Tines as well as a reconstruction of an analog signal.
A typical display cycle proceeds as follows. During the horizontal
retrace tine, all amplifier: outputs of the vertical deflection system

analog deflection amp is enabled, renaining active for the Sns trace
time. As the horizontal sweep is’from left to right, the reconstructed
analog signal is presented to the analog deflection anp in chronological
order. During the next horizontal retrace period, the vertical
deflection systen outputs are again inactive. At the start of the 7.6ns
raster period, the vertical retrace amplifier is active for 30s,
pulling ‘the beam to the top of the CRT. A scan line ts then generated
by enabling the output of the raster amplifier for 150ns. This cycle of
retrace and scan line generation is repeated 42 times during the raster
time, allowing 6 colums of 7 scan lines each. Again during the Sus

inactive as a power conservation measure.

results in the amplified offset ramp being applied to the yoke winding
at 2 pins 3 and 4. Due to the switching of the amplifier, the offset
appears to the yoke to be a step in voltage, providing the requisite
waveform at the yoke for a nearly linear current ramp. During the

bases of 015 and Q16, and preventing any conduction through then. The
diodes (R12 and CRI3 prevent yoke voltages greater than the supply

region.

during the retrace portion of the raster period. When RASTEREVRT is,
high, Q17 conducts; this allows CR11 to maintain a constant voltage
across Q18, RAS, and R45. This produces 2 constant current flow from
the collector of Q19 into the vertical winding of the yoke, stabilizing
the ‘vertical retrace. The amount of current is set by R46, the
character height adjustment. Since the current is derived directly from
the *20V supply, a large voltage can be applied to the yoke inductance
producing a rapid retrace. At the end of the vertical retrace period,
RASTERCVRT. goes low, turning Ql7 off and disabling the current source
prior to the next scan Tine sweep.
ECG Active Filter. The reconstructed analog signal to be displayed is
‘applied to an inverting buffer/active filter consisting of U9A, RN7,
ChO4 and C105, Configured as the second stage of a 37kHz, 4 pole
Butterworth fiiter, this circuit removes any high frequency noise. |The
filtered signal is then applied to USB where final gain is set by
adjusting R68.
Analog Deflection Amplifier. The power anplifier formed by UB, 40
SR HE Ga and WE is statin to the raster amplifier.” Here the
voltages supplying the power output stage are +15V and -15V rather than
Ov and -6V. The larger supply voltages provide the slew rate required
to reproduce ECG waveforms accurately.
The reconstructed analog signal then drives the noninverting trans
conductance amplifier composed of UB, and Q40 through Q82, and Q24 and

allowing the gates of MOSFETs Q22 and Q23 to be pulled high. The power
amplifier output stage is then driven by Qé0 through Q42 through the on
HOSFETs.. ‘This results in the yoke winding being driven by the raster
‘amplifier, Since the anplifier feedback is taken from the yoke current
Sensing resistor, R76, the current through the yoke 1s proportional to
‘the reconstructed analog signal. During the ‘interval when TRACE is
high, the MOSFETs are off, isolating the bases of G24 and Q25, and

Rate Intensity Compensation, The LP 8 intensity control system provides

compensation. This last feature causes the intensity to modulate during

Tike R waves. Intensity modulation in this manner allows operation at
ow average beam currents, resulting in longer phosphor life.
Providing a1] of these features requires modulation of the voltages
on both the CRT control grid and cathode. The actual beam current
and intensity depend on the difference in potential applied to these
electrodes. "As the grid is made more negative with respect to the
cathode, the beam current decreases.
The dc level on the grid is set by a resistive divider consisting of
R33 and a rear panel potentiometer, CRT BRIGHT. This potentioneter
allows the user to control the grid bias, directly affecting overall
intensity. The impedance the divider presents to the grid is stable
regardless of potentiometer setting due to the series impedance of R32.
This altows ac coupling of other signals to the grid without attens-
ation.
Rate intensity compensation is controlled by U4. The process consists
of, differentiating the analog display signal to extract rate informa-
tion, full wave rectification to obtain the absolute value of the rate,
and tinal amplification of the compensation signal.

Half wave rectification is provided by U48, whose output is taken from
the anode of CRB. At this point the gain is -1V if the input is
positive; the output is zero if the input 1s negative, since no current
Flows from the inverting terminal of U&B through CRB and RN2.
Two functions are performed by UAC. First it provides summation of the
output of the differentiator and the scaled output of the half wave rec-
tiffers second it provides overall gain of the compensation signal.
Configured as an inverting amplifier, U&C's inverting intput acts as
current summing node. Since the resistance connecting the half wave
rectifier to the suming node is one half that connecting the differen
tiator to the summing node, UAC effectively adds twice the half wave
rectifier output to the differentiator output. The input to U&C is
therefore @ full wave rectified rate compensation signal. UAC subjects
this Input to its inverting gain, which is adjustable through R36, and
ac couples the final compensation signal to the arid through CB.
‘The analog trace signal is applied to the rate compensation circuitry at

occur when there is notrace displayed. To prevent this, Q31 is con-
Grolied'by tne HACE ‘signal. Mien TRACE is high the Gisplay” is notin

off. Therefore the cathode is héld to 2 dc potential by a relatively
high resistance divider consisting of R39 and potentiometer R40. By
adjusting RéO, the trace baseline intensity can be varied. CR41 guards
against variations in intensity due to power supply loading, G43 blanks
‘the CRT beam immediately as power is turned off.
It is possible for the OTS signal to go high during the ECG trace
period. This occurs during a sync marker. When DOTS goes high, Q7
turns on, pulling the cathode toward ground potential. The resuTt is a
very intense, defocused spot which serves as a sync mark.
At the end of the trace period, TRACE goes high, turning on Q9 and 8.
With G8 on, a low impedance pith exists fron the *60V supply to the
cathode in’ parallel to the high resistance divider. This pulls the
Cathode to approximately +60V, Blanking the trace.
During the raster period, the OOTS input goes high and is capacitively
coupled to the gate of Q7. The capacitive coupling prevents continuous
turn on of Q7; which would lead to excessive power consumption. When Q7
turns on in response to the DOTS signal, it pulls one end of a low
mpedance divider formed by R30 and R31 to ground. The resulting volt-
age applied to the cathode is determined solely by this divider, as its
‘impedance is mich lower than that of the trace intensity control divider.
This allows control of alphanumeric intensity through potentioneter R31.
An additional benefit of the low impedance of the divider is that. the

Description
Internal comparators detect, this below-threshold condition, causing the
‘output of U2 to go high. When the capacitor voltage reaches the upper
threshold voltage, these comparators then change state, forcing the
output, pin 3, low, as well as the discharge output, pin 7.
During @ typical cycle, Ql is turned on by the voltage applied to its
base from Rll, A discharge path then exists through Q1, R13 and R14.
By adjusting R13, the off time of the oscillator can be controlled. The
‘output. of U2 renains Tow until the voltage at U2, pins 2 and 6, drops to
approximately one-third of the supply voltage.” The discharge pin is
then allowed to float and current can again flow through R12 and CR5 to
charge C5 starting a new cycle.
The VCO regulates output voltage through Rl; the voltage at RI is
proportional to the sense voltage of MI as the voltage on RI increases
Bbove the level on timing capacitor C5, current flows through CRI and RL
as well as the normal charging path through R12. Charge tine therefore
decreases proportionally to the voltage at Rl.” U2, pin 3, stays high
for a shorter period resulting in less energy being transferred to the
output.
The discharge path is unaffected directly by the voltage on RI so the
off time of the oscillator renains the sane. The frequency of oscilla
tion, therefore, changes as the on time changes.
Power Switching. The output of the VCO drives the power MOSFET 02.
When the VCO output is high, Q2 is turned on hard, allowing current to
flow in the prinary of Ti, the flyback transformer. The supply voltage
of 11V. is applied across this prinary inductance, resulting in an
Gncreasing current. ramp through Tl and Q2. Since the VCO modulates the
on tine of Q2, the energy stored in 11, during a cycle, fs also
modulated.
When the VCO output switches to its low state, G2 is suddenly turned
off, The energy stored in the prinary of Tl is’ then transferred to the
Secondary where a high voltage, low current pulse is produced. This
‘output pulse 1s the voltage source for the output regulator and voltage
multiplier.
During this flyback period when current flows through the secondary, CR9
is forvard biased, clamping Tl, pin 6 to approximately -6.6V. "RIL
keeps the anode of CR6 pulled high and CR6 begins to conduct, clamping
the base of Ql to -6V. QL is then turned off while current is flowing
in the transformer secondary. C5 has no discharge path as Tong as Ql is
off, This dead tine in the VCO cycle guarantees maximum energy transfer
to the secondary thus increasing efficiency.
The off tine adjustment provided by potentiometer R13 is used to trim
the waveform at the drain of Q2, If the dead tine 1s msadjusted, the
resonant circuit formed by Cll and the prinary inductance of Tl causes
the voltage at the drain of Q2 to rise during the on period. R13,
should be adjusted (with the output at its noninal level) to eliminate
this voltage rise.

Description
The soft start network consisting of CR7, C7, RIS, and R16 prevents
overstressing Q2 at turn on. The RC time constant prevents the gate of
2 from reaching *5V during the first few VCO cycles. Q2 does not turn
on fully thus limiting the initial current flow. This is necessary
since the zero output voltage at start up causes the VCO to run at
maximum duty cycle.

‘Converts the output pulses of Tl, pin 5, into a regulated de voltage on
the filter cap (9. This de level is then more tightly regulated by the
passive network R18, R19, CRI1 and CRIZ. Filtering is provided by C10.
R20 and R21 provide’ relatively low power dissipation bleed resistance
for the output filter.
Anode Voltage Regulation. Tl, pin 4, is tied directly to 2 voltage

RO divides’ the’ sense output of M1 by 1000. C& reduces high frequency
components of the signal which is then buffered and inverted by UIB. R6
adjusts amplifier gain. UIA then integrates the difference between UIB
output and a reference voltage and provides the control voltage to the
VCO through 1.
When the error between the scaled output voltage and reference voltage
is reduced to zero, the integrating nature of the controller maintains
the proper control’ voltage at Rl. The series resistance, R2, in the
feedback path of UIA provides a signal that is directly proportional to
the error voltage. This decreases the time required to respond to

RECORDER PFC ASSEMBLY (802819).
The LIFEPAK 8 has been designated to be used with a record from one of
two manufacturers, WFE and GSI. For this reason, two different
recorder PFCs have been designed (see Figures 1-13, 5-168, and 5-168).
These flex assemblies have several identical circuits but sone circuits
are completely different. To avoid redundancy, the paragraphs will be
labeled to show whether the description applies to the NFE, the FSI or
BOTH recorder assemblies. NOTE: when circuitry is common for both
recorders, component designations, if different, will be given for the
NPE recorder first with the corresponding GSI comonents listed in
parentheses.
The annotating Recorder 1s used to provide a diagnostic hard copy of a
patient's ECG waveform. A string of five by seven dot matrix characters
may also be printed in the upper margin of the recorder paper. This
annotating feature provides data relevant to alarms, time, heart rate,
QUIK PACE and Defibrillator performance. Refer to Figure 1-17, Recorder

transition toggles the one-shot UIIA, The pulse width of UIIA is
determined by SPEED SELECT and switch USB. The Q output of ULIA, pin 4,
goes low enabling the outputs of U6 which drive the NPN transistor
array, U7. The connon side of the dot heat elenent is connected to +15V.
Individual dots are heated when U7 provides a current path from ground.
The pulse width of UIIA, pin 4, determines dot darkness and is control-
Jed by an RC network consisting of Cll (C5), R12 (R6), and RIO (R3) or
RIL (Ré). Dot darkness is adjustable by varying R12 (R6). The analog

S0mn/s paper speed,
Pen Heat (Both). The stylus heat circuit consists of a triangle wave
Generator, a comparator and a current source. A quick heat circuit is
also provided for Recorder turn on.
A 1OkHz triangle waveform is generated by UZA (U2C) as it charges and
discharges capacitor C9 (C13). The output of UZA (U2C) is +5V (+7.56V)
when C9 is discharged, The capacitor charges until its voltage equals
that on U2's noninverting input, about +4V (+6V) causing the output to
go low. The noninverting input ‘to U2A (2c) is now +1.1V (41.5V).. The
capacitor discharges to the new reference whereupon the U2 output is
forced high. The cycle is now repeated.
The triangle wave is applied to comparator U2B (U2A). Since the other
input to the comparator is a de voltage, whose level is adjusted by R6
(R21), the output is a series of +151 square waves whose width fs
controlled by the dc input level. These outputs pulses turn Q7 (Q1) on
(and off) which supplies current pulses to heat the stylus.
When the recorder is turned on, C10 (C14) is discharged which allows 08
(Q2) to conduct temporarily pulling one end of the stylus to -15V.
This quick-heat feature brings the stylus up to operating temperature
in about 1 second. When C10 (C14) charges sufficiently, QB (G2) turns
off, clamping one end of the stylus to +.7V.

AC _Line Power Conditioning. The Power Supply PCB will withstand line
Voltage transtents up fo 6kV. F2 and RVI provide most of this protec-
tion by limiting the voltage presented to the input rectifier. RV1 is @
petal oxide varistor which has a nonlinear resistance. This device
normally presents a high inpedance to the ac Tine. However, should the
peak voltage exceed approximately 430V, the resistance drops rapidly,
Clamping the voltage to this level. FuSe F2 opens when it encounters a
Yine voltage transient fron a source with a low effective impedance.
When the Defibrillator is first plugged in, the rectifier and filter
capacitors, Ch and C5, appear as short circuits to the line due to their
Tow effective source resistance. If line voltage happens to be applied
at’ the peak of its cycle, currents exceeding 100A can flow possibly
Gamaging the bridge rectifier CR3. Power-on surge currents are limited
primarily by the negative temperature coefficient thermistor RTI and
inductor Ll. At room temperature, RTL has a resistance of about 5 ohns.
This and the effective series inductance of Li limit the inrush current
to safe levels. As the power supply operates, current flows through
RTL, which results in. a temperature rise. ‘As the temperature rises,
the’ resistance of RTI drops until equilibrium is established. Having
Tower operating resistance results in less wasted power during normal
operation.
CRS, C4, and C5 rectify and filter Vine voltage. When configured for

5 and 7 of P1S are shorted together with a rear panel switch, recon-
Figuring CR3, C4, and C5 as a voltage doubler. This results in a
nominal 230Vde supply for the power switching circuitry regardless of
the operating mode. In either case, R2 and R3 serve to equalize the
voltage on each capacitor, as well ‘as providing a path for bleeding
charge off the capacitors without a large decrease in efficiency.

Pulse Width Modulator. Control of the power switching circuitry is
‘provided by an Integrated circuit pulse width modulator (PMN), Ul. UL
Contains an oscillator, error amplifier, reference, PkM comparator, and
drivers.
The basic oscillation frequency of the power switcher is set at 60kiz by
CIS and RNL, pins 8 and 9, tied to Ul, pin 6. A dead time of approxi~
rately 1% i$ set by R24.’ This resistor, in series with the discharge
circuit, controls the reset time which must pass before a new oscillator
cycle can begin.
The 45.1V reference is divided, by two, by RNI and applied to the non
inverting terminal of the error amplifier at Ul, pin 2. The error
amplifier calculates the difference between this’ voltage and the
attenuated power supply output voltage applied to pin 1 through RNL.
The amplified difference is applied internally to the PHM comparator,
which controls the duty cycle of the driver transistors. The output of
the error amplifier modulates the duty cycle so the voltages applied to
the inverting and noninverting terminals of the error anplifier are the
same. AS a result, the +12V output is derived from the reference volt-
age and the-ratio’of the attenuation of the two dividers within RNL.
The RC network formed by C12, C13 and RNi, pins 5 and 12, connected
between U1, pins 1 and 9, provides frequency conpensation of the power
switcher a a whole.
Finally, C16, in conjunction with an on-chip current source, sets the
soft start tine constant. Soft starting the power switcher entails
Viniting the maximum duty cycle at start-up, to prevent overstressing
the transistor switches as they drive the output filter capacitors in
their discharged state. These capacitors appear as short circuits to
the switcher at start-up due to their low effective source resistance.
The driver transistors in the PkM cannot directly drive the FETS, QL
‘and Q2, which do the actual power handling, since the PIM lies on’ the
isolated ‘side of the 4kVac isolation barrier. Instead, the drivers
alternately pull opposite ends of the primary of the gate drive trans~
former, T3, to ground. The result is a bipolar drive waveform applied
to the’ gate drive circuitry on the non-isolated side of the barrier.

CRIZ and CRI provide rectification for a low current auxiliary supply
Used for battery charging. C9 is connected to the +12V supply as a

Battery Charger. Voltage regulator U3 is used as a constant current
Source to provide slow charge at a C/15 rate. U3 operates by maintain-
jing 1.25V between pins 1 and 2. This voltage is applied across current
setting resistor RIO to produce a 100nA charge current. CB provides
noise bypassing of the regulator adjustment terminal.
The charging current also flows through R11, where it produces a bias
across the base-enitter junction of 5. ‘Whenever battery charging
current flows, Q5 1s on.” This applies the +20V battery charge supply
voltage to RD, allowing current to flow through the front panel BATTERY
CHARGE LED.
Ac/Battery Operation Switching. When the Defibrillator is not plugged
nto ac mains, relay KITS in the normally closed. position, and” the
battery is connected to the rest of the Defibrillator. In this state,
CRII prevents the battery from reverse biasing the charging current
source. Khen the Defibrillator first has power applied to it, the
Power switching circuitry starts-up and the +12V supply rises. Q6 turns
fon. through C10 and pins 11 and 6 of RWI. This keeps Q12 off, allowing
the voltage on soft start capacitor C16 to rise. Eventually the gate
threshold of Q13 is reached, turning Q13 on. Capacitor (22, which is
initially discharged, acts as a shart circuit allowing maximim current
to energize Kl. The energized coil of KI switches the relay to the
normally open position. When C22. is completely charged, the current
through coil drops toa level sufficient to hold Ki in its energized
state. This connects ac power to the rest of the Defibrillator.
Upon renoval of ac power, Q6 turns off and O12 turns on momentarily.
This allows quick discharge of C16 and turns off Q13. with Q13 off, Ki
returns to its normally closed position, reconnecting battery power.
Speaker Driver. A secondary function of the Power Supply PCB is to
‘rive the Spesker which produces, key click and. informative tones, 7
‘and G8 form a push-pull driver stage which 1s ac coupled through C27 to
an eight ohm speaker. P18, pins 1 and 3, are connected to a rear panel
potentfoneter which ‘sets the tone volume. Normally, when no tone is
Present, the speaker drive line presents 2 high impedance. In this
case, the base of Q7 is pulled to +12V and C27 is charged to this
voltage, less a diode drop. When a tone is to be applied, the speaker
drive Tine is alternately pulled to ground and floated.” The volume
adjust potentioneter then acts as a divider, applying an ac signal to
tthe bases of Q7 and Q8 whose amplitude is proportional to the potentio-
meter setting. This signal, through C27, drives the speaker.
In order to provide key clicks of a constant volume independent of the
Potentioneter setting, a separate driver and input is provided. The key

Optical channel one is driven by Q4, Q5 and associated components. when
UIBR, pin 14, goes Tow, Qé turns on’and Q5 turns off. The +12V step at
the collector of Q¢ is differentiated by C19 and C20; creating a narrow
spike which is fed to the LEDs. When UI3A, pin 14, goes high, Q¢ turns
Off while Q5 is turned on by R90. The emitter of QS is switched to
ground providing a rapid discharge’ of C19 and C20 through CRE and CRT.
‘These diodes also clamp the waveform to ground.

pulses at the input frequency,
The phase locked loop (PLL), Ul8, provides a de output at pin 10 which
varies directly with the frequency at its input, pin 14. The leading
edges of pulses fed to pin 14 are detected by a phase comparator whose
output, pin 13, is used to control a voltage controlled oscillator
(vco).” “If ‘the input is running faster than the VCO, the phase
comparator output will be high a greater proportion of’ tine which
increases VCO frequency. The phase comparator output, pin 13, 1s fed to

LIFEPAK 6s CABLE DETECT determines which sync circuit has control of the
syne interface. A Tow at U23, pins 10 and 11, enables the LIFEPAK 6s; a
high enables the LIFEPAK 8.
‘The LIFEPAK 6s Honitor may be used to synchronize the LIFEPAK 8 Defib-
rillator to a patient generated R wave. LIFEPAK 6s SYNC (J11, pin 138)
is a tri-state signal that is used to indicate that the Nonitor is
connected, the sync is enabled, and the sync pulse is present.
When sync is requested, SYNC MODE goes high and toggles U20D, pin 13,
high. Since the output of U20 is open collector,” LIFEPAK 6s SYNC is
allowed to float as high as +12V. Normally, with ‘a LIFEPAK 6s Monitor
Connected, this line will be held to less than +2.5V; sync is enabled
but no R wave has been detected, Any circuit fauit that allows U208,

LIFEPAK 6s sync interface is NOT valid. Detection of an R wave by the
LIFEPAK 63 Monitor results in a 6.2ns, +5V pulse at U20C, pin 9. This
pulse exceeds the 42.50 reference on’ pin and forces UZ0C, pin 14,

Energy Storage Capacitor Charger. The Energy Storage Capacitor (ESC)
‘Efardtr operates asa de-tande Step-up converter. The circuit is com
prised of an oscillator, current switch and a flyback transformer. The
Converter operates in the high power made when charging to 20-360J. Low
power (slow) charging is used for refresh or when an eneray level of
1-10) is required. — Overcharge protection circuits disable the ESC
charger if the high voltage output reaches S00QV. (Refer to Figure 1-21.)
OsciTator/Control. The oscillator and control is comprised of 15, 06

square wave, between 10 and 20kHz, to the current switching network made
up of Ql1 through Qs.
Eneray Storage Capacitor (ESC) charging is initiated when CHARGE goes
high and Q6 conducts, however, the OUNB Tine must oo high, opening the
dump relay through Qi0, before Q7 may conduct. Timer osciliation begins
when UI5, pin 4, goes high.
‘The primary timing elements, C22, CR9, R24 and R25, contro} the total
tine U5, pin 3, 18 high during each’ oscillator cycle. Internal U1S
Comparators, fixed at one-third and two-thirds of #5.1V (set by zener
Grid), sense the voltage on C22; forcing UI5, pin 3, high, when C22 is
charging and Tow when its discharging. U15, pin '7, is’ switched to
ground when the voltage at UI5, pins 6 and 2, equals two-thirds of
S5c1V, providing a path for the discharge of C22 to the one-third
reference.

off period is necessary for efficient transfer of eneray and may be
adjusted by R26.
‘The low power charge mode is enabled when HI/LO CHARGE is Tow. In this
state, Q9 conducts and places C2l in the flyback circuit. The hold-oft
period is increased because C21 slows the re-establishnent of the +3.3V
zener potential of CRI. Rapid discharge of C21 is permitted by CRil.
Low battery compensation is provided by UL4A. Should battery voltage
drop to +8V, UL4A, pin 1, will go high and’ supply additional charge
current to C22.” Rapid charging of C22 reduces the pulse width output
from U15, pin 3, which in turn, shortens the current switch on time.
Current Switch. Large currents must be switched through the primary of
luring DeffbriTlator charge. Q1é conducts when Q13 is turned on by a

CRI. Primary current flows during this period and energy is stored in

The Logic PCB Assesbly controls and monitors many of the LIFEPAK 8
Deftbritiator functions. These functions can be separated into. to
Categories: user input, processing and mode control, end system status
Sonttoring. and generation of user status indfeations. (see Figures
:22'end'8-30.)
These tasks are accomplished through the use of two interconnected
inicroprocessors. The Controller microprocessor, U18, accepts all user
‘inputs and controls Defibrillator charge, discharge’ and energy dump.
The Controller microprocessor also drives’ the low energy digit, charge
and sync indicators. The Monitor microprocessor, Ul, controls the
available energy display, test Toad energy display and their associated
Vegends. In addition, U1 controls the alarm, service and low battery
legends, and formulates Defibrillator status information for serial
output to the LIFEPAK @ Monitor.
The microprocessors execute self-test routines continuously so any fault
that presents a hazard will result in the disabling of Defibrillator
controls. Other faults, of a less critical nature, my result in par-
tially disabled functions. For example, a transfer timing malfunction
will “inhibit. sync discharge. Efther a “fault or hazard condition will
result in a service alert tothe user. “Most malfunctions resuTt only in
a service alert.
Reset Circuits. During power-on of the Defibrillator, the micropro-
Gessors are reset to starting program address 00004. This reset state
is held for 100ms to allow the Logic PCB Assenbly power supplies and
clocks to stabilize, System integrity is then monitored continuously

Ql2 is off. The negative going 200ms pulse, is fed to Ul, pin 26, for
use in the sync test software, display mode software, transfer drive
test, low battery detection, and test load operation.

Wonttor via the Optical interface Assembly. A serial data string 1s fed

1-130, PACING CASSETTE
The LIFEPAK 8 Pacing Cassette (see Figure 1-23) {s a microprocessor
controlled transcutaneous pacemaker. It operates in conjunction with
the LIFEPAK @ Monitor and Defibrillator to provide denand and nondenand
pacing pulses for short-term support of patients with circulatory prob-
Tens. All electronics, displays and controls required for pacing logic
‘and pacing pulse generation are contained within this cassette. How-
fever, it is supported by power supplies and electrical interfaces pro-
vided by the Defibrillator and indirectly by the Monitor.
1-131, PACING CASSETTE PFC ASSENBLY (802911).
The Pacing Cassette PFC Assembly (see Figure 5-40) developes and
produces the outputs required for cardiac pacing.
1-132. Microprocessor. The Pacer microprocessor, U9, controls all functions
performed by the Pacing Cassette. Programing for. the microprocessor

single chip mode, 1s selected by the state of P2(0-2) at reset. In the
single chip mode, 211 ports my be configured as inputs and outputs.
The Pacer microprocessor assigns the inputs and outputs as follows:
Port 1(0-4) Port 2(0,2-4) Port 3(0-3) Fort 3(4,5) Port _4(0~7;

When +12Vde is present at J2, pin BL, U10 provides a regulated +5¥dc to
the Pacing Cassette circuitry. The Pacer microprocessor is now powered.
However, remains low for an additional 20ns because of the RC time
of RN7B and Cél. This allows the power supply and oscillator to
Stabilize, Khen’ RESET goes high, U9 starts its program and selects
single chip operation.

ing resistors, to. the cathode of an LED on ‘the Switch Display PCB
Assembly. The anodes of the LEDs are tied to +12V. A high from any bit
fon port 1 will turn on its respective transistor and provide a current
path through the LED.
1-134, Pulse Width Modulator. Isolated power supplies and pacing pulses are
‘developed from outputs of the pulse width modulator, Ul1. The frequency
‘at which ULL operates is determined by R22, R66 and C18. Operation is
Centered at 30kH2 with a =5kH2 adjustment range. Pacing pulse output is
adjusted by R66.

Section 1
Description
[A redundant soft start scheme is used to protect (3 through Q6 from
potentially damaging current surges. Output. switching from U1 is
Sohibited until C16 is charged by an internal current source, When
oscillation begins, the oscillator output, Ul1, pins 11 and 14, is fed
to the gates of Q3 through Q6 and U13.
slated Power Sui Pacing Cassette power cones from the Defibrilla~
Tar nidtde cireute-~ Patient: protection from hazardous. leakage current
is established in ‘the isolated power supply circuitry on the Pacing
Cassette PFC Assembly. A 30kHz square wave drives the chopper circuit
made up of 03, Q4, and 12,
The gate drive from U13, pins 4 and 12, is 180° out of phases while one
FET 1s on, the other is off. When Q3 conducts, current flows in one
half of 12's primary, storing energy in the transformer core. This
energy is transferred ‘to the secondary when Q3 turns off and the stored
energy field collapses. AC voltage from the secondary is rectified by
Che" and filtered to provide isolated = 12Vdc. A =5V supply 1s developed
from #12V by regulator U4.
Pulse Generator. The pulse generator, U11, develops positive 20ns
‘trapezoidal pulses for application to the center tap of TI. The pulses
are varied in amplitude by adjusting the PACE AMPLITUDE potentioneter,
REE. The +5V supply connected to R6B is a precision reference output
from UIL, pin 9.
When the microprocessor determines that a pulse is necessary, U9, pin
10, will be set low for 2 period of 50ns. After 20ns, U9, pin 8,” goes
‘ow which renoves ground from R100 and C31. The voltage at’ R68 is’ gated
to'@ pulse shaper made up of C30 and R63.
The pulse shaper converts the gated voltage input to a trapezoidal
pulse with 2 20% slope from the leading to trailing edge. R63 and C30
fare selected to provide a linear slope to the 20ns pulse. Diode ck24
Clamps the positive input of U1ZA to ground, preventing this pin from
going negative.
Shaped pacing pulses are then fed to an amplifier loop, made up of UIZA,
8 and Q7, which provides a voltage gain of 1.8 as set by R59 and REO.
This results in a current gain between UI2A and the collector of Q7
which provides 0-9¥, 9A maximum trapezoidal pulse to the center tap
Pacing Pulse Output. The gates of pulse chopper FETs Q5 and Q6 are
‘river continuously but switching occurs only when voltage ts present on
the center tap of Tl. A trapezoidal pulse 1s gated to Tl when a pacing
pulse Is necessary. "QS and G6 are protected fron overvoltage by zener
iodes CRIB and CRi9. ‘When pulsed, a voltage is induced in the secon-
dary of Tl which is rectified by CRI and filtered by Cl and CR3 for
PACE output.

determine continuity of the Pacing Cassette output circuit. In a sense,
