    Power Supply Power Supply...
  • Page 19 Standby Block Part1 This block diagram shows the sequence of events that takes place inside the TV during standby. When the TV is plugged in: 1. AC is applied to the power supply board (P) through connector P9. The AC is applied to the standby circuit to produce STB12V and STB5V.
  • Page 20 Standby Block Part 2 6. The STB9V and STB5V from the PA board are provided to the Main CPU IC1103 on the DG board as 9V detect and 5V detect lines. If any of these voltages is missing, the TV goes into shutdown and the power LED blinks 10 times as soon as the unit is plugged into the wall outlet.
  • Page 21 Power Supply (Standby Circuit) This is a sequence of events that take place during the standby operation. The AC from connector P9 is filtered by the line filter L410 and then it is rectified by the bridge rectifier D404. The DC from D404 is applied to the standby circuit (T410, IC409) where 12V and 5V are developed.
  • Page 22 STB5V Distribution The STB5V is routed through the D board to be connected to the DG board. In the DG board, the STB5V is used to generate the 1.5V and the 3.3V to power the CPU (IC1103). The STB5V is also routed through the H board and applied to the PA SOS detect circuit. The explanation for the circuit that generates the STB3.3V and STB1.5V is covered in the next slide.
  • Page 23 Power Supply (Standby Circuit) The STB5V from the P board is connected to the D board via connector D25. From there, it is provided to the DG board via pin 29 of connector DG3. On the DG board, the STB5V is connected to a 3.3V regulator, and a 1.5V regulator. IC1110 provides the STB1.5V to the CPU IC1103 and the switching circuit consisting of Q1140 and Q1141.
  • Page 24 STB5V, STB3.3V, and STB1.5V This is a schematic diagram of the STB3.3V, and STB1.5V regulators. To understand the operation of the circuit, see the explanation of the previous slide.
  • Page 25 F-STB-ON (Primary) The F-STB-ON voltage (3.2) from pin 13 of connector P25 is applied to pin 23 of the Power CPU (IC501) on the P board. IC501 sends out commands to first turn on the primary circuit of the power supply, and then the circuit that allows the FSTB14V to develop on the secondary circuit.
  • Page 26 F-STB-14V The 15V output from the secondary circuit of the power supply is applied to Q556. In order to generate the FSTB14V, the F STB ON/OFF command (high) from pin 18 of IC501 is applied to the gate of Q524 to turn it on. Q524 outputs a low to turn on Q556. The transistor Q556 outputs the FSTB14V to pin 1, 2, and 3 of connector P10.
  • Page 27 STB5V and TV-SUB-ON function on the PA PCB The STB 5V at pin 1 of connector PA40 and the TV SUB ON command at pin 33 of connector PA20 are used to activate the PA SOS detect circuit on the PA board. This circuit monitors the following voltages for abnormality: FTSB14V, SUB3.3V, SUB9V, SUB5V, Main3.3V, and Main1.8V.
  • Page 28 SUB-Voltages Output From the PA Board When FSTB14V is applied to the PA board through PA10, immediately a set of voltages is developed, lasting only approximately 15 seconds after AC has been applied to the TV. These voltages are: SUB9V, SUB5V, and SUB3.3V. The SUB9V and the SUB5V are used by the DG board and the DT board.
  • Page 29 PA Board Test Points This picture shows the location of all the connectors and the test points on the PA board.
  • Page 30 Power On When the unit is turned on using the power button on the front of the TV, a low is applied to Q1125 to turn it on. Q1125 outputs a low to the key input line (pin 187) of the CPU IC1103 on the DG board.
  • Page 31 Power On When the CPU on the DG board IC1103 receives the power on command from either the power switch on the TV panel or the remote control, both pin 5 and pin 215 go high (3.2V). The 3.2V from pin 215 is provided to the PA board through connector DG20. It is used to turn on the circuit that generates the “MAIN”...
  • Page 32 Panel-Standby-On Circuit When the TV is off, a low registered at pin 5 of IC1103 keeps Q1101 off. Consequently Q1139 conducts, keeping the voltage at pin 30 of connector DG3 low. When the power is turned on, pin 5 of IC1103 goes high (3.2V) and Q1101 outputs a low to the base of Q1139 to turn it off.
  • Page 33 Power Supply Secondary Circuit The 3.2V from pin 17 of connector P25 is used to output the voltages that were developed when the TV entered the standby mode (STB14V and 395VDC). Then it turns on the secondary circuit of the power supply to generate the VSUS, VDA, 15V and 5V. This high is applied to the base of Q557 to turn it on.
  • Page 34 VSUS and VDA Circuits The 3.2V from pin 17 of connector P25 is applied to the base of Q557 to turn it on. When Q557 is on, a low is applied to the TV ON/OFF pin (20) of the POWER CPU (IC501). When pin 20 goes low, pin 14 goes high to turn on Q551.
  • Page 35 PA board Circuit Explanation The “F-STB-14V” at connector PA10 is supplied to the voltage input pins of both regulators IC5601 and IC5602. IC5601 is a dual voltage regulator. It generates 9V and 5V. The SUB9V is output at pin 14 of IC5601 as soon as the STB14V is applied to pin 10. The ON/OFF pin (pin 16) is permanently grounded.
  • Page 36 Main-Voltages Output From the PA Board When the power is turned on, a set of voltages, similar to the voltages developed when the unit was plugged in, is developed. These voltages are: Main9V, Main5V, Main3.3V, and Main1.8V. All these voltages are used by different circuits in the DG board. The H board uses the Main9V and the Main3.3V.
  • Page 37 5V Distribution The switched 5V from the power supply board is applied first to the D board through connector D25. From there, the 5V is connected to the following boards: 1. The scan (SC) board through connector D20. 2. The data drive circuit board (C1) through connector D31. 3.

  • Page 38: Vsus Distribution

    VSUS Distribution The sustain voltage VSUS from the power supply board (P board) is provided to the SC board through pin 1 of connector P2/SC2. It is also provided to the SS board through pin 1 of connector SS11. The zener diode D585 monitors the VSUS. If an over-voltage condition occurs, the VSUS detect circuit (Q525 and Q530) is triggered and a high is output to pin 19 of IC501.

  • Page 43 PA Board_Over-Voltage Protection The transistor Q5644 monitors the SUB5V, SUB9V, MAIN1.8V, MAIN3.3V, and SUB3.3V, lines. If any of these supply voltages becomes excessive, the inline zener diode goes into conduction and turns on transistor Q5644. As a result, a voltage drop appears at the base of Q5641, causing it to turn on and output a high to pin 209 of the MPU, IC1103, to trigger the SOS condition.
  • Page 44 PA-Board_Loss of Sub-Voltage Protection The transistor Q5641 monitors the FSTB14V, SUB3.3V, SUB9V, and SUB5V lines. If any of these supply lines develop a short circuit, transistor Q5641 goes into conduction and applies a high to pin 209 of the MPU, IC1103, triggering an SOS condition.
  • Page 45 PA-Board_Loss of Main-Voltage Protection The transistor Q5642 monitors the MAIN1.8V, MAIN9V, and MAIN5V lines. If any of these supply lines develop a short circuit, transistor Q5642 goes into conduction and applies a high to pin 209 of the MPU, IC1103, triggering an SOS condition.

  • Page 50 15V SOS During standby operation, pin 71 of the MPU (IC9003) is kept low by the transistor Q9052. Upon receiving the power-on command, the 15V source that originates at the power supply is applied to the voltage divider consisting of R9215 and R9207. The voltage drop causes the collector of Q9051 to go low and the collector of Q9052 to go high and indicate the presence of the 15V.
  • Page 51 5V SOS During standby operation, pin 69 of the MPU (IC9003) is kept low by the transistor Q9054. Upon receiving the power-on command, the 5V source that originates at the power supply is applied to the voltage divider consisting of R9205 and R9206. The voltage drop causes the collector of Q9053 to go low and the collector of Q9054 to go high and indicate the presence of the 5V.
  • Page 52 PA Voltage Output This diagram depicts the distribution of the PA board voltages to the DG, H, and DT boards.
