About the DS3800HXPC

The DS3800HXPC is a printed circuit board (PCB) manufactured by General Electric. It is designed to fit within the Speedtronic/Mark IV series and to work as a CPU board. The Mark IV system was created for gas/steam turbine control and can control every aspect of turbine systems. With interconnected chipsets and built-in redundancies, the Mark IV is designed to maximize uptime by minimizing downtime caused by electronics failure.

The DS3800HXPC has these specifications:

• It is factory drilled all four corners, with clips installed in two for mounting options.

• It has six resistor network arrays. Resistor networks may be placed on the board for voltage division or for digital to analog conversion (or vice versa.)

• It has two male connectors on the middle right short edge of the board. Both of these connectors are marked 218A4637-P2.

• It has 37 jumper switches. These are situated around the board in groupings of 9, 8, 1, 1, 8, 4, 3, and 3. Some of these jumpers have several position options.

• It has one connector (female) placed along the left edge marked 218A4553-1 A-mp 533002-1. The board is numbered behind this connector, 2 and then ten to eighty in increments of ten.

• There are 48 integrated circuits. This includes internal timer circuits like the Intel D8254 L4380686 as well as oscillators and DIP components.

• The board uses metal film resistors (ceramic covered.)
