  Model &20-A

          The Keithley    Model h20-A Log n Period Amplifier        consists    of
  a logarithmic      micro-microammeter    for indication    of reactor      power
  level,    followed   by a differentiator    which indicates     the reactor
  period.

         High level    outputs for oscilloscopes      and one-milliampere
  recorders,    as well as 50 millivolt      outputs,   are provided     from
  both the micro-microammeter       and the period amplifier.         One side
  of all outputs     is at ground, making it convenient        to connect
  associated    equipment.

       The features      of the Log n Amplifier    section include   full
 scale voltage    drop at the input of less than five millivolts,
 zero drift    of less than 0.05 decade in 2L hours,       good accuracy,
 and built-in    calibration      standards,   The major panel control
 is the OPERATE switchj        minor controls   are the RECOVER button,
 AMPLIF`IER BALANCE, SET lo-7 and SET lo-11 adjustments.

         The Period Circuit  features quick recovery from overloads.
  The controls    are the OPERATE-CHKCK oo switch and the SET oo
  adjustment.

          The power     switch is at the right    of the meters.      The pilot
  light    indicates     that power is on.

  Log n Amplifier

        The current   range covered is 10-o to 10'13 ampere and is dis-
  played on a six-inch     panel meter for maximum readability.       Accuracy
  is within  plus or minus 0.2 decade and the output voltage        is 10.7
  volts per decade plus or minus 20%. Positive       currents   only can be
  accepted;  the output voltage    is negative.

         Calibration:         The calibration     is checked at the front     panel by
  means of a control          which selects   either   of two current    sources;    lo-l1
  or 10-7 amperes,           The Log n Amplifier     is adjusted   to read correctly
  by means of screw          driver  contrcls   on the front    panel.   The current
  source consists       of    a 1011 and a 107 ohm resister       and a mercury battery.
  Amplifier     balance      may also be checked and adJusted at the front panel.

        Input impedance is          decreased to a small value by negative    feed-
  back.    The voltage    drop      across the input terminals  will be less than
  five millivolts      for any      position  across the meter scale provided    that
  the amplifier     balance is       properly  set.

         Grid   current      is less than   5 x 10-lh    ampere and will    not affect
  operation     of the     instrument.

         Recover Switch is located   at left    side of the panel.    Its purpose
  is to short out the feedback diode and allow quick dissipation          of
  snuricus    charges which sometimes accumulate       on the innut of a micro-
  mlcroammeter,     or are caused by overloading     the input.

         Accuracy    is within      0.2 decade.

       Linear-Log         Relationship     is within 2% f scale length       from lo-l3
  to 10-f ampere;         within    5% from 10-7 to lo- 8 ampere.

          Drift,     After one hour warm-up, if the instrument     is set on a
  lxlF=          ampere, the reading will   not increase  to greater   than 1.1
  x lo-l1      ampere nor decrease to less than 9 x lo-l2    ampere in the
  following      eight hours of operation.

          75 Volt Negative Output is developed for full-scale       meter de-
  flection,    and 1 milliampere    can be drawn without  upsetting   the circuits.
  The 75 volt Output connector       is at the rear of the chassis.      The connec-
  tion details    and suitable   output attenuators   are discussed   in OPERATION,
  Section III.

       50 Millivolt          Output is provided    for   convenient,   direct  connection
  to servo rebalance          recorders.  The internal     impedance   is approximately
  50 ohms.

              Response Speed of the Log n Amplifier          depends upon the current
      being measured, upon the capacitance             of the external      input circuitry,
      and upon the setting       of the DAMPING control       at the rear of the chassis.
      Because of the method application          of the negative       feedback,    the slowing
      effects    of capacitance    from the high input terminal           to ground have been
      greatly    reduced,   but are still    significant.      The DAMPING control           varies
      the response time over a ten-to-one            ratio.   Table I, below, gives typical
      response speeds; via:        the tirre of 90% response to a step function                with
      the DAMPING control       set at its minimum position.

      current    range.

      Peri~od Circuit

            Range covered is from           -30 seconds to infinity            to three   seconds
            a single  scale.

            Accuracy    is 3% at 6 seconds.

            Speed of Response       is three         seconds   maximum.

            Recovery    Time is 10 seconds            maximum.

             Operate-Check    oo switch,  in the CHECK oo position,        removes the
      signal    from the Log n Amplifier      to the Period Circuit.        The meter should
      read infinity;      and if not, the circuit     is readjusted    with the SET poten-
      tiometer.      In the OPERATE position,      the circuit    is normal, with the
      Period input connected to the log n output.

              10 Volt Output is developed by the period circuit;            the voltage    is
      zero for infinite      period,     and 10 volts positive   for three second positive
      period.     One milliamm         can be drawn.  Connection    details    are discussed

        Connect the innut             to the ion      chamber,    and outputs    to the    recorder
  or external   indicators            as desired.

            Turn     on power switch.

       After a few minutes warm-u      turn the OFERATE switch                       to SET lo-l1
  and set the log n meter to lo- lP'with    SET lo-11 control.

        Recheck and readjust   the calibration      of the Log n Amplifier     and
  SET infinity   of the Period Circuit     occasionally.     These adjustments
  should require   attention  only occasionally       after warm-up.

            Input     Connection

         The current     source should be connected to the input connector           with
  the high impedance side of the current             source associated with the central
  conductor    of the connector.         The lead-in   cable should be polyethylene,
  polystyrene,     or teflon    insulated    coaxial   cable, and the connector     should
  have teflon    insulation.

          Amphenol S2-8Ok is recommended for large cables,        type 82-816 for
   small cables.     During preparation   of cable and connectors,       it is essen-
  tial    that all high impedance surfaces    be kept scruplously      clean to avoid
  lead-age.     With graphite   coated cable,  it is necessary      to avoid track-
   ing graphite    onto the high impedance surfaces   of the out end of the
  insulation    and the teflon   surface of the connector,      Movement of the
  cable during measurement should be avoided since this will             cause spurious
   input signals,    because of capacitance   changes and generation        of static
   charges.

              Recording.    The Log n Amplifier    and Period Circuit   both have
      two outputs:       one for 50 millivolt   recorders,   and the other for
      auxiliary     panel meters of controls.

              50 millivolt     recorders     are plugged directly       into the 50 milli-
      volt output       connectors.      Both 50 millivolt      connectors    are Amphenol
      SO-PC2F. The internal           impedance is approximately          50 ohms. Resistor
      dividers    for more sensitive         recorders     can easily  be made at the
      recorder    input.

           The Log n high-level       output   is aero volts    for    lo-13 amperes and
      75 volts  negative   for 10-6 ampere.       One milliampere        can be drawn.
      The connector    is Cinch-Jones     S202.

               The Period Circuit    high-level   output is zero volts     for infinite
      period     and 10 volts   for 3 seconds period.      One milliampere    can be
      drawn.      The connector    is Cinch-Jones   S202.

            Alarm and remote indicating      circuits   can easily   be connected to
      the high-level  outputs.    Amplifiers     and cathode ray oscilloscopes    are
      also connected to the high-level       outputs.    Terminal  #l of each connec-
      tor is at ground potential.

             +225 bits.     A connector   has been mounted on the back face of
      the chassis to provide      +225 volts    for polarizing    an ion chamber.   The
      potential   is derived   directly   from the electronically       regulated power
      supply.    The chassis   connector     is Amphenol 80-C; 80-M is the mat$ng plug.

             The Speed of Response, or the time constant            of the ion chamber and
      micro-microammeter,        depends upon the speed of response of the circuitry
      of the instrument        and also upon the capacitance       of the current      source
      and its connecting        cable.   Because of the way the negative         feedback is
      applied    in the Log n Amplifier       the external   input capacitance       is not
      nearly   as important      as in the older systems using a voltmeter           across a
      shunting     resistor    or diode, and quite large capacitances          can be toler-
      ated without       having an impossibly     slow response.     Thus, a cable run
      from   an ion chamber to the micro-microammeter            is permissible.

             Variable   Damping of the Log n Amplifier        is provided    by the poten-

      Maximum damping is obtained        by rotating  the control      fully  clockwise.
      The damping slows the response of the micro-microammeter               so that it tends
      to average the statistical        noise of the ion Ohamber current         and the
      noise generated     in the input &able, so that when the micro-microammeter
      output is dif,ferentiated     in'the    Period Circuit,    false short periods will
      not be indicated.

  Circuit      Description      - Log n Amplifier     Sect+

            The Circuit      schematic   diagram,   DR 11737-C,    is   included        at the
  back.

           The logarithmic       scale of the micro-microammeter       is obtained by
  negative      feedback from output to input through a diode whose emission
  is limited       by negative     plate-cathode  voltages.      The diode used is the
  grid-filament        structure     of a type 5886 electrometer     tube.

            The 5886 offers      outstanding    advantages    in this    application:

         (1) The insulation   of the grid is of a very high order since the
  5886 is an electrometer   tube.   Therefore   the diode plate has very little
  leakage which would cause erratic     effects   in the low current region.

         (2)   The grid and filament    in this tube are extremely     small,   so
  that capacity     across the diode is minimal,     This results    in a consi-
  derable    improvement    in response speed over instruments    which employ
  more conventional      diodes.

        The diode used for feedback is V-l,   type 5886.                  The grid is used
  as the diode anode and the filament   as the cathode,                   Rl06 is placed in
  series with the grid to protect   the tube.

         The filament      circuit     voltage   is regulated  by transistor  QlOl con-
  nected as an emitter          follower.      The Zener Diode, ZDlOl, provides   the
  reference     potential.

        Rlll    is a 200 ohm,        ten-turn   potentiometer     in series with R107
  which provide     a voltage        drop of 2.5 volts.        The feedback from the out-
  put is connected at this             point  so that variation      of Rlll will  contrcl
  the potential     in series        with the output.       This potential   is necessary
  to buck out the voltage            across the diode in order that the micro-
  microammeter     output can        be kept at ground potential        when the input is
  at ground potential.

          The calibration      circuit      consists     of a mercury battery,    (Rtd&OlR),
  and resistors       RlOl, R102, R103, and RlOh.             The OP RATE switch is used
  to select     the desired      signal,     either    lo-11 or lo- 9 ampere,     With the
  RECOVER switch depressed,            the log diode is shorted out.           In this condi-
  tion the logarithmic         characteristic         of the amplifier    is removed and the
  circuit    is simply a linear          feedback amplifier       whose zero corresponds      to
  the lo-13 position         on the meter.          The AMPLIFIER BAL screw driver      poten-
  tiometer     adjusts    the amplifier        zero.     With proper balanoe of the ampli-
  fier,    dc voltage     at the input will          be less than 5 millivolts      in normal
  operation.

           The meter calibration          is established        by alternating      between     he
   lo-11 and 10-7 positions           of the OPERATE seitch,             which causes 10' lf or
   lo-7 ampere to flow in the input.                  The corresponding        potentiometers
   are adjusted       until  these calibration           signals     read properly     on the meter.
   The SET lo-11 control          adjusts     the buck-out        voltage    in series with the
   diode and thus sets the static               resistance       of the diode at one point,        while
   the SE 10m7 controls           the gain of the amplifier              apd thus adjusts     the
   change of the diode voltage             with current,         so that the rest of the scale
   reads correctly.         Once these adjustments            are made only the SET lo-11
   control      needs to be used to compensate for diode drift.                     The other con-
   trols    will   require   infrequent       adjustment,

         The RECOVER switch shorts out the diode                 and allows      the   circuit     to
   recover quickly from large overloads.

          Cl02 is the damping capacitor     which slows the response of the micro-
   microammeter.      With the low impedance end of Cl02 connected to ground,
   the response is damped the least.        As more and more feedback signal
   from the output is introduced      at the low impedance end of C102, the damp-
   ing is increased.      R115, the DAMPING control,   increases  the feedback
   voltage    until the desired   amount of damping is obtained.

           The amplifier       of the micro-microammeter         consists  of two 5886 elec-
   trometer     tubes, V-2 and V-3, followed           by V-L and V-5, high gain pentodes,
   operated     as a long-tail       pair.    Feedback from the cathodes of V-h and V-5
   to the screens of V-2 and V-3 stabilizes                the plate potentials      of V-3 and
   V-Ii.    Additional      gain is provided      by V-6a.     V-7 is a constant-current
   coupling     element between V-6a and V-6b, which is the cathode follower
   output for the Log n Amplifier.              The constant-current       coupling   element
   eliminates      attenuation      so that the output will        develop - 75 V for full
   scale.     The output drives         the diode feedback circuit,        the panel meter,
   the high level        and 50 millivolt      outputs     lus the Period Circuit.        The
   circuit    output potential          s zero for lo- P3 ampere meter indication,          and
   negative     75 volts     for 10 -i ampere indication.          The 50 millivolt    output
   is supplied       through a resistive       voltage   divider.

         The open loop gain of the            amplifier      is approximately      10,000;       the
   feedback factor   is approximately           1000.

   Cirouit     Description     - Period    Seotion

           The period circuit      is an operational    amplifier      connected as a quasi-
   differentiator.         C201 is the differentiating       capacitor     and R202 is placed
   in series with the capacitor         so that response to very high frequencies
   is lessened.         R2O7 is the feedback resistor      and determine       the sensitivity
   of the period amplifierr          R207 is returned    to the wiper of potentiometer
   R2lo so that the feedback fraction            can be varied.      In this way the cali-
   bration      of the period circuit    may be adjusted.        Capacitor    C2Oh slows
   the circuit       response to about 1 second full       scale.      If faster   or slower
   response is desired,        C2Oh may be varied accordingly.

        The amplifier       consists of balanced   5'886 tubes followed     by a
 12AU7 tube connected as a differential           amplifier.      Feedback from
 the l2AU7 cathodes to the screens of the 5886 tubes stabilizes                  the
 operating    point of the 5886 tube plates.          Vll,   a cathode follower,
 drives    the output meter and feedback loop.            The open loop gain of
 the amplifier      is approximately    200.    The circuit    output is 10 volts
 for a positive       period of 3 seconds.

         Check infinity switch SWj, in the check position,              grounds one
 terminal    of C201 and leaves the grid of ~8 only with the feedback
 resistor    connected.  This condition      corresponds     to infinite      period
 or no change in output from Log n Amplifier.              If the period meter
 does not point to infinity       in this position,      it may be adjusted         by
 R20h, the set infinity     control    on the front    panel.

       ZD 201 and 202 are Zener diodes connected back-to-back                 to limit
 the amplifier    input voltage in case of overload. Substantial                decreases
 in recovery   time is provided   by these diodes.

 Circuit      Description   - Power Supple

           The Model h20-A utilizes     an electronically     regulated     plus   225 volt
 supply      and a VR tube regulated     minus 150 volt     supply.

        'phe electronic&iy     regulated   supply utilizes   a type 6~6 series
 tube (Vl3) which Is controlled by a two stage differential            dc amplifier
 (V14 and Vl7). VlT ccnqparee the B plus voltage,           sampled via R312 and
 R315, to the vol-e         of reference tubs V16. The output of V17 Is sqp-
 lified by Vl4 and used to control the reslstame of the series tube V13.
 The unre@ated B supply is derived frcm full-wave rectifier              VI.2 and a
 conventional F6 filter       netmrk.    The minus supply Is derived from a half-
 wave rectifier       SR2, 3, 4, 5 and filtered with a three stqe RC filter,
 R304, 5, 6 and C303, 4, 5 aud finally           regulated at minus 150 volts by
 v15. The polarizing potential which appears on the back of the chassis
 is   taken directly from the +225 v0lt        supply.

         Unless otherwise  requested,   instruments   are supplied    wired for
 110 v 50-60 cps power line operation.          See schematic   diagram for
 instructions    for conversion    to 220 volt operation.

      The Keithley      Model 420-A Log n Period Amplifier      has been designed to give
long, trouble-free        service.    High quality   components have been used throughout,
and the circuits       are stabilized     by a substantial  amount of negative  feedback.

     DR U737-C,   at the back, is the detailed   circuit    schematic diagram of the
Model 420-A.   The circuit operation was discussed      in Section IV - Description.

Vacuum tubes V-2 and V-3 are two electrometer     tubes and are located    in an alum-
inum can which plugs onto the top of the chassis near the input terminals.          These
tubes have been selected,   matched and labelled;    V-2 and V-3 are Keithley   parts
~~5886-8.   It is reconnnended that the complete input tube assembly, Model 4102,
be kept on hand for replacement    purposes.

Vacuum tubes v-8 and V-9 are also           Keithley     parts   ~~5886-8   in a Keithley     Model
4102 input tube assembly.

Feedback diode V-l is a Keithley part EV5886-6 which is tested for                      its logarith-
mic characteristic.  Use normal electrometer  tube care in handling                     the tube so
that the glass at the press wKU not become contaminated.

        INSULATION:      All insulation     for the    high impedance conductors  is made of
teflon,     as are the contact insulators         on   the range switch.   This should give
satisfactory      service    in all humidities.        Occasionally,  the high impedance insul-
ators should be inspected          to insure that      they are free from dirt and dust, and
brushed off if necessary.

      CONNECTORCAP: The cap for the input connector        should be kept in place
whenever the connector   is not being used.     In storage and in transport,     it keeps
the insulation   Pmm accumulating   dust, dirt and moisture.      Before screwing the
cap back onto the connector,    be certain  that it is clean, so the insulation      will
not be contaminated   and so that a low impedance bridging      conductor will  not be
formed between the high impedance contact end the grounded cap.

        Reference    Voltage   Battery:    Bl should     be replaced    once yearly.

     Calibrate    Period:       If period calibration        is to be checked,      a teat   set-up
as described   below will       be satisfactory:

          To simulate      the exponential  change in reactor     power level,  a
   capacitor    discharge     may be used to set up an electrical      analog.
   The voltage     discharge    may be converted   into a current    by using a
   HI MEC resistor       to connect the capacitor     into the Log n Amplifier
   input as shown in Figure 2.

                                                                               420A




                                               FIGURE 2

          The period      circuit,        if correctly        calibrated,      should read directly
   the time constant         of the RC network             (RlC) as C is allowed to discharge
   through Rl when the key is opened.                      With a 100 v@t source when the
   key is closed,       the Log n Amplifier              will     read 10'    ampere,      When the
   key is opened, after            an initial        transient,       the period circuit       should
   read RlC.      In practice        C should be 1 to 10 microfarads                  and R varied
   to give various        period readings.              A time constant        or period of six
   seconds is a convenient               calibration       point,      With the values shown,
   the period,indication            will      be accurate       from a current      reading    of about
   5 x 10m9 to about 10-l'               amperes and any period calibration                should be
   made while the current            is in this range.

        Be sure to note that since the instrument        can only be calibrated
   on negative  period with this arrangement,       the meter leads of the period
   meter should be reversed   for this calibration.

         The CALIBRATION PERIOD potentiometer                   is mounted      on the    chassis
   immediately  behind the period meter.
