Functional Description

DS3800NSWA is a Comparator Board designed and developed by GE. It is part of Mark IV control system. Compares two input voltages or signals and provides an output indicating which one is higher. It plays a critical role in applications like threshold detection, signal conditioning, and monitoring systems. Utilizing operational amplifiers or dedicated comparator ICs.

Optional Auxiliary Board Integration

Supports the optional DSWA auxiliary board, which significantly enhances its functionality. When the auxiliary board is installed, NSWA gains access to:

• Twelve jumpers: These allow for configuration adjustments, making the board adaptable to specific operational needs.
• Twelve rotary potentiometers: These provide precision tuning capabilities for various circuit parameters.
• Communication between the two boards is facilitated through a ribbon cable connection, plugging into a male vertical pin mating connector (218A4807P4)

Features

• The board features another mating connector, 218A4653-1AMP 102041-1, situated along the left side, interfacing the board with the overall system.
• Ejector clips are mounted on the right-hand corners of the board. These nylon components act as handles to prevent direct contact with sensitive circuitry. Functioning as levers to assist in extracting the board from chassis or guide racks with minimal effort.
• Twelve red LEDs provide visual feedback, such as operational status or error conditions.
• Twelve labeled test points Allowing for easy diagnostics and monitoring by technicians.
