Power Supply Unit
9.3.1
Description
The power supply is a bought module, that consists of the
following parts:
•
the AC mains input with fuse;
•
a separate stand-by supply;
•
the mains harmonic circuit;
•
the mains rectifier.
The power supply provides the following output voltages:
•
3.3V for the UOCIII, Scaler and other digital circuits;
•
unregulated 12V, which is converted to regulated 5V, 8V,
and 12V;
•
a so-called bolt-on supply, which provides 12V for bolt-on
devices (not covered in this manual).
9.3.2
States and Sub-states of the Power Supply
The power supply has three different states. Each of these
states has a couple of sub-states:
1. POWER OFF:
a. PASSIVE OFF:
The set is switched off completely, the mains cable is
disconnected. When the mains is re-connected, the set
switches to the last STAND-BY status.
b. ACTIVE OFF:
The set is connected to the mains, and consuming a
minimum amount of power. This sub-state is similar to
NORMAL STAND-BY, but all LED indicators are off.
Switch to the ON or STAND-BY mode with the
POWER ON/OFF button (in the NAFTA region also
with the STAND-BY KEY of the RC).
2. STAND-BY:
a. NORMAL STAND-BY:
Only Hercules and NVM are connected to the power
(+3V3STBY), other circuits are disconnected. The LED
lights red. The signal from a control port can switch the
set OFF or ON.
b. SEMI STAND-BY:
Only on DVB sets. In this state the LED lights red.
+3V3STBY, +12VUNREG, and +12V iBOZ remain ON
for a certain time. After that time only +3V3STBY stays
ON, only powering Hercules and NVM, so the set is in
NORMAL STAND-BY.
3. POWER ON:
This is the normal operating mode. All power supply lines
are available. All circuits are active. From this mode the set
can switch to NORMAL STAND-BY, SEMI STAND-BY,
OFF, or PROTECTION.
