This is what I can determine the circuitry feeding pin 9 looks like: Not sure exactly what "D5" is, it has "HA7" written on it (no luck find the part on google) and it looks like this: I've drawn it as a regular diode and assumed the polarity because the opposite makes less sense but not sure of the purpose of it, is it just to prevent pin 9 going -ve or is it actually a zenner diode to prevent too high a voltage on pin 9? Anyway, I put this into LTSpice and it corresponds with the measured voltage at pin 9 and it shows 706.40177µA through R44 (not sure of the input impedance of pin 9). The analog discovery 2 has a power supply capability between 0.5v and 5v in 0.001v increments so I'm hoping I can use that? Not sure how to determine what its output impedance is though? |

Maybe worth checking C53A. |

(Pretty confident it's not shorted) or do you mean to check that it's value matches what the label says? I was hoping to go as far as I could without needing to de-solder anything first. |

I'm expecting a low value. This capacitor gets some harsh current spikes when the PFC is active. MKP capacitors tend to degrade by slowly loosing capacity. A value too low could cause more switching noise to reach the MCU's "AC" sense. If you must desolder use an iron with sufficient power. Edit: If desoldering is a problem, for testing you could add a 2.2μF parallel to the existing one see if it makes any difference. |

I can confirm that Pin 9 is the direct input for the "AC Plate voltage" value. I connected my analog discovery 2 power supply to the end of the 150k resistor chain and varied the voltage observing the effect on the "AC Plate voltage", sure enough as I varied the voltage, the reported AC voltage varied between a floor value of 190v (at 1.83v or lower) up to a 255v ceiling (2.45v or higher) --- Quote from: shakalnokturn on November 07, 2022, 06:25:04 am ---I'm expecting a low value.

Now to source a suitably rated capacitor. This is the existing one: Not sure where I previously determined that it was 2.2uF but will need to verify that before I can try another in parallel. But that part number seems hard to find any datasheet for best I've found is this link https://world.taobao.com/item/585823361132.htm?spm=a21wu.24122187-tw.recommend-goods.6 which has a picture with the same markings on it and says it's 2.2uF. Does that seem like a reasonable value for such a capacitor? Edit: the "G>" symbol on the capacitor suggests its from "Xiamen Faratronic Co. Ltd" and that took me to http://files.faratronic.com/book/2022/C35-1.pdf which I think means that it is in fact a 2.2uF 630v Metallized polypropylene film capacitor |
