Setup Menu displays the menu shown below: Language Select allows the user to choose the language used in the menus and control screens. Resolution Notice advises the optimal resolution to use. OSD Position allows the user to move the OSD menus and control screens. OSD Timeout sets the length of time the OSD screen is displayed.
4. Circuit Description 4.1 Main Board Scalar TSUM16AWL-1(U401) The TSUM16AWL-1(U401) is total solution graphics processing IC for LCD monitors with panel resolutions up to WXGA+/SXGA+. It is configured with a high-speed integrated triple-ADC/PLL, a high quality displayprocessing engine, and an integrated output display interface that can support LVDS panel interface format. To further reduce system costs, the TSUM16AL-1 also integrates intelligent power management control capability for green-mode requirements and spread-spectrum support for EMI management.

Flash Memory SST25LF020A/040A(U402) The SST25LF020A is accessed through the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus compatible protocol. The SPI bus consist of four control lines; Chip Enable (CE#) is used to select the device, and data is accessed through the Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK). The SST25LF020A supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and Mode 3 (1,1) of SPI bus operations.
Pin Description Symbol Pin Name Functions Serial Clock To provide the timing of the serial interface. Commands, addresses, or input data are latched on the rising edge of the clock input, while output data is shifted out on the falling edge of the clock input. Serial Data To transfer commands, addresses, or data serially into the device.

DC-DC AP1117E33L(U701) AP1117 is a low dropout positive adjustable or fixed-mode regulator with minimum of 1A output current capability. The product is specifically designed to provide well-regulated supply for low voltage IC applications such as high-speed bus termination and low current 3.3V logic supply. AP1117 is also well suited for other applications such as VGA cards.

Inverter PWM Controller TL494IDR (IC801) The TL494 incorporates all the functions required in the construction of a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control circuit on a single chip. Designed primarily for power-supply control, this device offers the flexibility to tailor the power-supply control circuitry to a specific application. The TL494 contains two error amplifiers, an on-chip adjustable oscillator, a dead-time control (DTC) comparator, a pulse-steering control flip-flop, a 5-V, 5%-precision regulator, and output-control circuits.
5. Adjustment Procedure Setting the Timing Mode Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 60 Hz).
