50PX60 Scan Operation
The SC Board consists of buffers and drivers used to generate the scan
signals for the PDP panel. The buffers provide isolation between the D board
and the drivers. the drive voltages as well as to switch the FET transistors.
Connector SC20 provides the the trigger signals from the D board to switch
the FETs on and off to create the distinctive scan signal. Each trigger signal
switches a drive FET creating a portion of the waveform.
After the scan waveform is developed on the SC Board, it is applied to the
SU and SD boards for de-multiplexing. The signal is input to a series of shift
registers that handle the de-multiplexing operation. There are six driver ICs
on the SU board and six on the SD board.
