IG15 Teardown
Made a bit difficult due to no component designators and the necessary conformal coating obscuring some component part numbers, I should also mention the boards are at least 4 layer and the conformal coating makes probing difficult, however
Starting at the power connectors they are screw type
with no pressure plates so a bit wire unfriendly (EDIT sorry they have pressure plates), the multiple DC inputs are all connected in parallel. Immediately behind the connector bulkhead lies the FILTER board containing common mode chokes and various caps for both AC & DC sides, I notice the Y caps are Wima yellow ones that I have encountered exploding before.
Following the AC path from the FILTER to the AC board it is connected to a small 12Vrms mains trafo via an opto-triac, this could be for any number of purposes. The main power path passes through a relay to a large 4.7uF X capacitor and through two huge pot core potted chokes via a current sensor (LEM HXN 20-P) to an Hbridge using IXFX48N50Q 500V mosfets. Each half of the bridge is driven by an HCPL-A314J twin opto-igbt driver, power is derived from an isolated winding on the APU to be described later.
The DC-buss has three 470uF/450V reservoirs in turn fed via a large choke from a bridge rectifier formed of four unidentified TO220 diodes. High frequency AC comes from the chassis mounted main transformer.
The main transformer is Litz wound secondary first then two primaries, windings are right to the cheeks so the only way the 4mm creepage can be met is if the Litz is itself insulated to re-enforced standard (commonly known as TIW).
The DC board (underneath the AC) drives the transformer primaries with what appears to be another H-bridge with unidentifiable IR mosfets driven in exactly the same manner as already described. The feed to this bridge comes via a current transformer (Pulse F1S115NL) from a set of three 390uF/500V reservoirs that are connected directly to the DC feed from the FILTER board. The transformer primaries are linked to the Hbridge through two power relays and I speculate this is to allow series/parallel operation to better cover the wide input range.
The APU consists of a small ferrite transformer driven by an ST B7NK80Z 800V mosfet. Power comes from the DC feed from the FILTER board. There are many rails, at least a floating +15V for the AC board, +15 & +5V for the DC & AC boards.
The main processor is a TI TMS320LF240 DSP, there is also an Altera EPM30302 PLD almost certainly doing PWM & sine modulation. There is another ~28 lead wide soic but I think its just some kind of power regulator going by the number of power tracks to it.
The INTERFACE board is located behind the LCD display at the bottom of the chassis and carries 4 option board connectors (all empty). It is connected to the DC board (processor) by a ribbon cable labelled LTG-BUSS and also to the LCD via another ribbon. The option connectors are potentially dangerous as they seem to have a grid feed from the FILTER board via a connector on this board labelled AC. For some reason this board has at least two chips with associated crystals. One is an NXP P89V664 (flash based 80C51 MCU). The other is a TI TL16C550 UART (why, surely MCU has one ?). There are also about 7 SSI cmos logic chips.
Finaly the LCD board has several buttons, a pretty LCD and a NXP PCF8576CT I2C LCD controller.
