III. Circuit Implementations: THE MAIN BODY: A-1.) Interface board block diagram: (a) Circuit operations: The scaling IC has OSD and auto detecting input timing functions. OSD offers adjustable functions to the end-users. Auto detecting timing function can detect change modes. It outputs the digital R-G-B data, pixel clock and control signal to TCON of the LCD module.

EEPROM: We use 24C16 EEPROM to store monitor user data and user preset timings. There are 16 user timing modes are automatically saved in it. Each timing mode is allocated with 22 bytes of memory space for information such as Sync frequencies, polarities… etc. PC can access the EEPROM data indirectly through the SDA and SCL channels of DVI and D-sub (IIC communication).

#3 Switching element and Isolation power transformer When the Q601 turns on, energy is stored in the transformer. During Q601 turn-off period, the stored energy is delivered to the secondary of transformer. R607, C607 and D601 is a snubber circuit. R625/R626/R627/R628 is current sense resistors to control output power.

#5 PWM Controller The PWM controller NCP1203 implements a standard current mode architecture. With an internal structure operating at a fixed 60KHz where the switch time is detected by the peak current set-point. When the current set-point falls below a given value, the output power demand diminished, the IC automatically enters the so-called skip cycle mode and provides excellent efficiency.
Page 44
#6 Feedback circuit PC123 is a photo-coupler and TL431 is a shunt regulation. They are used to detect the output voltage change and be the primary and secondary isolation. When output voltage changes, the feedback voltage will be compared and duty cycle will be decided to control the correct output voltage.
