POWER SUPPLY DESCRIPTION
(Display Power Supply Block Diagram)
The F8 chassis family uses a free-running switch-mode power supply with a single controller IC. As AC power is applied to the set, approximately 160volts DC is developed by the bridge rectifiers and fed to the primary winding of the power transformer, then to the FET switch. The start voltage for the power supply is taken from the hot leg of the AC input. This voltage goes to controller IC 7520. A separate operating voltage is developed from the power transformer, rectified, and applied to IC 7520. The power supply is on all the time; there is no standby mode. The set is turned on and off by the microprocessor switching the +8 volt regulator on and off. The +8 volt is the supply voltage for the signal processor.
IC7520 is regulated by means of a feedback circuit, monitoring the +11 volt secondary line. Any voltage variations are reflected back to the controller IC 7520 through an Opto-Coupler IC and change the operating frequency of the power supply as needed. REMEMBER TO USE AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER WHEN SERVICING THIS CHASSIS.
Complete Circuit Description
When AC is applied, current flow through the Bridge Rectifier circuit causes two simultaneous events to occur:
1. Capacitor 2508 begins to charge to 160 volts DC.
2. Capacitor 2540 begins to charge to 14.5 volts DC.
When capacitor 2508 is fully charged, 160 volts is applied to the drain of 7518, through transformer 5545. When capacitor 2540 is fully charged, 14.5 volts is applied to pin 1 of 7520. This voltage will cause 7520 to begin oscillating and putting out a pulse train on pin 3. These pulses will cause 7518 to conduct which will cause a field to build up in the primary winding of transformer 5545. When this field collapses, a field will be induced in the secondary windings. Pins 8 and 9 of 5545 will output to diode 6540, which will rectify the pulses. Capacitor 2540 will filter the pulses and provide approximately 12.5 volts to pin 1 of 7520. This now becomes the RUN voltage for 7520.
Feedback control is accomplished by monitoring the 140 volt line. The 140 volt, +VBATT supply is sent through resistor 3571 to pin 3 of the Programmable Regulator IC, 7570. This regulator will turn on at 2.5 volts DC. Current will then begin to flow through the diode portion of the Opto-Isolator IC, 7581. The intensity of light caused by this current flow will then control the conduction of the transistor portion of 7581. The voltage appearing on pin 4 of 7581 is then monitored by pin 14 of 7520 where it is compared to a 2.5 volt reference voltage. Changes felt on pin 14 will control the width of the pulses coming out of pin 3. These pulse changes will determine the “on” time of 7518
F8 CHASSIS INTRODUCTION
The F8 chassis is a leader TV chassis produced by Philips Consumer Electronics Company for the 1999 model year. The F8 chassis is used in sets with 25“ and 27“ screen sizes. The F8 chassis is a global design and is oriented front to rear, or ”north to south“, as it has been called. The F8 chassis tuning system features 181 channels with on-screen display (OSD). The main tuning system uses a tuner, a microcomputer IC, and a memory IC mounted on the main chassis. The microcomputer communicates with the memory IC, the customer keyboard, remote receiver, U/V tuner, signal processor IC and the audio output IC via the I2C bus. The memory IC retains the settings for favorite stations, customer-preferred settings, and service/factory data.
The F8 chassis uses a Very Large Scale (VLSI) Integrated Circuit for signal processing. This IC performs video IF, sound IF processing, AGC control, horizontal and vertical drive and synchronization, also luminance/chrominance processing. The on-screen graphics and closed caption decoding are done within the microprocessor, and then sent to the signal processor IC to be added to the main signal.
The F8 chassis utilizes a switch mode power supply for the main voltage source. The chassis has a hot chassis ground reference on the primary side of the power supply, and a cold ground reference on the secondary side of the power supply and the rest of the chassis. ALWAYS USE AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER WHEN SERVICING THIS CHASSIS FOR YOUR SAFETY.
Vertical Circuit
The vertical drive signals are internally generated in IC7250 and are output on pins 46 and 47. From there they are sent to the Vertical Output IC, 7401, pins 1 and 7.
Inside the IC, the waveforms are amplified, shaped and output on pins 5 and 6. The output on pin 5 is the waveform that drives the yoke and provides feedback to the IC.
The output on pin 6 is the Vertical Synchronization pulse that is sent to pin 37 of the microprocessor.
Horizontal Circuit
The horizontal drive pulse is internally generated in IC7250 and is output on pin 40.
This pulse is amplified by transistor 7461 and transformer coupled by 5461 to the base of the Horizontal Output, 7460, where it is amplified.
Shaping takes place in the collector circuit (C2463 and C2465), which results in a perfectly timed 825 volt peak-to-peak pulse to drive the deflection yoke and the flyback transformer.
The Flyback Transformer secondary windings produce 10 working voltages:
VlotAux-11V, VlotAux+11V and VlotAux+50V all supply power to the vertical output IC, 7401.
The 187 volt VideoSupply, the filament voltage, Screen voltage (VG2) and Focus voltage all go to the CRT board.
The EHT voltage goes to the anode connection on the CRT.
The VT_Supply and the VlotAux+5V Supply both go to the Tuner. The VT_Supply is zenered down to 33 volts for tuning voltage and the VlotAux+5V supply acts as B+ for the Tuner and also becomes the +5 volt supply. The VlotAux+5V supply also provides voltage to the Audio Circuits.
Shutdown Circuits
Three of the shutdown protection circuits are derived from pins 7 and 10 of the Flyback Transformer.
If the voltage on the filament line (pin 7) goes too low, transistor 7482 will turn on and apply a positive voltage to the P9StbyOn+Protn line.
If the voltage on the filament line (pin 7) goes too high, transistor 7462 will turn on causing transistor 7463 to turn on and apply a positive voltage to the HEW_Protn line.
If the beam current (pin 10) becomes excessive, the voltage on the EHT line will go toward the negative direction. This action will cause transistor 7481 to turn on and place a positive voltage on the P9StbyOn+Protn line.
For sets having East West correction circuitry, pin 10 of 5545 is being monitored by transistor 7470. Transistors 7470, 7481 and 7482 all control transistor 7605. In the event of a problem, 7605 will bring pin 16 of the Microprocessor, 7600 low, shutting the set down.
How to Check an Opto-Isolator
Procedure
Using a basic diagram taken from the F8 schematic, we are going to determine whether or not IC7581 is functioning properly.
Step -1
Apply the positive lead of a variable DC power supply to the positive terminal of capacitor 2561. Connect the negative lead of the power supply to pin 1 of IC7570. By connecting them this way we are able to use resistors 3685 and 3575 as protection for IC7570.
Step -2
Apply the positive lead of an ohm meter to pin 5 and the negative lead to pin 4 of 7581. Set the ohmmeter to the 2K scale or greater.
Step -3
Slowly increase the DC voltage from 0 to 5 volts. If the IC is good, you will see the reading on the ohmmeter start decreasing as the voltage approaches 5 volts.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 5 volts DC.
How to Check a Programmable Regulator IC
Procedure
Using a basic diagram taken from the F8 schematic, we are going to determine whether or not IC7570 is functioning properly.
Step -1
Apply the positive lead of a variable DC power supply to pin 3 of IC7570 and the negative lead to cold (chassis) ground.
Step -2
Apply the positive lead of your DVM to pin 1 of IC7570 and the negative lead to cold ground.
Step #3-
Slowly increase the DC voltage from 0 to 2.5 volts. If the IC is good, you will begin to see a DC voltage reading on your DVM as soon as the applied DC voltage is 2.5 volts.

OAD Transport Stream Image
To manage quicker mass reflashing, a predefined OAD DVB-T channel (freq:850MHz / bandwidth:8MHz) is embedded to SW core and only available into Factory mode. Some licensed IBL tools ('xxx2lli.exe', 'lli2dsm.exe', dsmmerge.exe, …) from Intellbyte Inc. http://www.intellibyte.com/ might be necessary to create appropriate DVB SSU TS. Over some predefine settings such as repeated datablock insertion, null packets size, … (controllable in configuration file), here below are mandatory OUI entries structure to prepare DSM-CC carousel image format:
 [SW Entry are referring to following PKG image file name “V8-0MT310x-LF1Vyyy.pkg”
 See enclosed necessary Data Broadcast Carousel configuration file format details (DBC)]
To build an OAD TS, it’s necessary to create a temporary common and interchangeable DSM file format using below command and arguments:
‘bin2dsm.exe -v -v -v -m0,0,"TCL_HW5881",0 -n200 -z102400 -nz -o%FILE%.dsm -h"OUI=CUST_OAD_OUI
model=CUST_OAD_HW_MODEL version=CUST_OAD_HW_VERSION vm=0xffff" -s"OUI=CUST_OAD_OUI
model=CUST_OAD_SW_MODEL version=CUST_OAD_SW_VERSION vm=0xffff" %FILE%.pkg’
Then, OAD TS can be completed using below command and arguments:
‘dsmsectn.exe -v -dvbssu -mpegts -patpmt -nit_ter -sdt -o%FILE%.ts -gTCL_HW5881.dbc %FILE%.dsm’
For more robustness, TS can be played with following presets such as modulation:QAM-64, guard interval:1/8, coding rate:2/3 to ensure ~22Mbps.
OAD reflashing process is managed within 4 steps operation: multiplex detection, DVB transfer, flashing and warm-start.
UART & IR Parser
To use both UART and/or IR parser, TV has to be set in Factory mode with its VGA port well connected to suitable UART device or an IR emitter device correctly facing up TV (see below “Product Assembly - section 2.0”
How to activate “Factory key”).
The SoC’s RS232 mode is automatically enabled at power-on and doesn’t require any command initialization frame. <0x30 0x30 0x30 0x2E 0x30 0x65 0x30 0x74 0x30 0x0D 0xE2> from host to TV.
So correctly setup UART parser engine for further serial communication, it’s necessary to send following command frame <0xAA 0x06 0x10 0x01 0xA7 0xEF> within following COM presets 115200/8/n/1; “PS” caption might be toggled and displayed on bottom left screen (“S” like Serial) if successful.
To communicate with TV depending on SIACP revision layout implementation, you may need to fulfill UART/IR commands protocol and format described on enclosed SIACP requirements document.
Project ID Modification
There are different IDs stored into system memory depending on different Panels settings and Models features, but there’s only one key branching ProjectID that includes all. So, it’s not recommended to modify PaneID with 
Hyper terminal as other ID features may not change.
To modify ProjectID, you need to go through “Factory menuOtherProject infoProject ID”, then spin left or right with RCU “◄/►” key” keys to suitable ID (Project name is dynamically refreshed).
Below is none exhaustive Project ID table for reference. Project list and all relative information are dispatched and updated as a new firmware package is released.

LG55EF9500, LG65EF9500 - OLED TV power supply board (SMPS) testing procedure
LG (OLED EF Series) Power Supply Board 12V/24V to Main Voltage Check
AC Should not be applied at any time while adding jumpers or While unplugging connectors, damage to the circuit Board may occur
When AC is applied, the SMPS “MUST” be producing STBY 3.5V (3.52V) on pins 5 and 7, 8 of P201
If 3 5V Standby is not being generated the SMPS is defective and may need to be replaced. Make sure AC is arriving at the connector SK100 and +3.5V_ST is not loaded down by the Main Board or the Joy Stick/IR Board.
Remove connector on Main board. If STBY is still missing, SMPS is defective.
II) Unplug P2399 on the Main Board to make insertion of the Jumpers easier Use P2399 side to insert jumpers.
TESTING THE POWER SUPPLY TURN-ON CIRCUIT.
Add a jumper (A) between (3 5V STBY) pin 5 and (PWR ON) Pin 1
Apply AC, this will turn on the SMPS. Relay click will be heard
Check that the 24V and 12V power supplies to the Main board are turned on,
To Main Board Power:
 P201 (11.96V pins 11-15)
 P201 (23 70V pins 19 22)
No 12V or 24V to T-CON at this time.
Remove AC power
Pin 1 is Bottom on SMPS
Pin 1 is Top on Main
To Test the Power Supply’s T CON 12V line
Continue if Test 1 was OK.
Leave original jumper (A) in place.
AC Power is removed at this time.
The T-CON should be connected, SMPS P202 and P203 to T-CON
Add another jumper (B) between (STBY_3.5V) pin 8 and (12V_ON) Pin 18.
Simulating PWR_ON and 12V_ON commands.
Apply AC Power.
Check 12V (11.87V) on pins 7-12 on P202
T-CON 12V Normal:
a) If normal, the SMPS is OK, T-CON 12V load test OK
T-CON 12V Abnormal:
a) Recheck all connections.
b) Confirm the 12V_ON line pulling up to at least 3V.
c) Check SMPS P202 pins 7-12 for an excessive load, normal diode check  should be 0.48V P202 connected “0.50V” P203 disconnected.
Check CN11 pins 8-12 on the T-CON for an excessive load.
Diode check should be “1.04V”. (CN11 unplugged from the SMPS, the panel can be connected or disconnected).
Note: With Red lead on Chassis ground, reading is 0.41V.
If you are concerned that you may accidently connect the jumpers in the incorrect locations use a 100 ohm 1/8W resistor instead.
Leave jumpers (A) and (B) in place. AC Power is removed at this time.
The T-CON should be connected, SMPS P202 and P203 to T-CON
T-CON 24V POWER SECTION TEST:
Add another jumper between (STBY_3.5V) pin 5 and (DRV_ON) Pin 2.
Simulating PWR_ON, DRV_ON and 12V_ON command.
Apply AC Power.
Check 24V on pins 8-14 on P203
T-CON 24V Normal:
a) If normal (24.16V), the SMPS is OK, T-CON load test OK
T-CON 24V Abnormal
a) Recheck all connections.
b) Confirm the DRV_ON line pulling up to at least 3V.
c) Check SMPS P203 pins 8-14 for an excessive load, diode check should be “0.48V” P203 connected or disconnected.
Check CN5 pins 8-14 on the T-CON for an excessive load.
(CN5 unplugged from the SMPS, Panel connected). Diode check should be “OL” (Blk lead on Gnd) 0.38V (Red lead on Gnd).
(CN5 unplugged from the SMPS, Panel disconnected). Diode check should be “OL” (Blk lead on Gnd) 0.51V (Red lead on Gnd).
To Test the Power Supply’s T-CON 24V line using a light bulb test jig
In this case, the Power Supply needs to be tested to see if it can supply the T-CON 24V and 12V when loaded.
TEST 4: (2015 EF Series OLED) Power Supply Board T-CON 12V and 24V Power
TEST 4: 24V T-CON POWER LOAD CHECK:
 Leave all Jumpers in place on P2399 to P201 of the Power Supply and disconnect CN5 on the T-CON board.
 Make a 24V load test jig by using a standard 1157 automobile light bulb, (dual element). Solder two wires from the buttons on the bottom of the bulb. Do not solder any wire to the actual ground of the bulb.
Attach one end of the Jig to the 24V line from P203 pins 8-15 from the SMPS.
Attach the other wire from the Jig to Chassis Ground.
To make insertion easy, cut the sharp end of a safety pin off and solder it to each end of the wires coming from the light bulb Jig.
Push one needle end into one of the pins 8-14 of CN5.
Push the other needle end of the wire into any pin 1-7 of CN5.
Apply AC to the power supply, the light bulb should light and remain lit.
Measure the 24V line to confirm it’s correct. The bulb should be bright.
Let the SMPS run for several minutes to confirm its operating correctly.
(Do not let wires or light bulb touch any metal parts).
Note: You can also use two sing ( le element automotive bulbs (each 6W) tied in series.
a: If the Light Bulb remains lit, the panel is defective because the T-CON and/or the panel is providing too much of a load causing the power supply to shut off.
b: If the SMPS shuts off, Replace the Power Supply.
TEST 5: 12V T-CON POWER LOAD CHECK:
Note: You can test the 12V to the T-CON line using the same procedure, but you only need one bulb. Use same bulb, but solder one lead to a button and the other to the case.

STi5518 functional modules
a. Central processor
The STi5518 Central Processing Unit is a ST20C2+ 32-bit processor core. It contains instruction processing logic, instruction and data pointers, and an operand register. It directly accesses the high-speed on-chip SRAM, which can store data or programs and uses the cache to reduce access time to off-chip program and data memory.The processor can access memory via the Programmable CPU Interface (often referred to as the EMI) or the Shared Memory Interface (SMI), which is shared with the video, audio, sub-picture and OSD decoders.
MPEG video decoder
This is a real-time video compression processor supporting the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards at video rates up to 720 x 480 x 60 Hz and 720 x 576 x 50 Hz. Picture format conversion for display is performed by vertical and horizontal filters. User-defined bitmaps can be super-imposed on the display picture by using the on-screen display function. The display unit is part of the MPEG video decoder, it overlays the four display planes.
 The display planes are normally overlaid in the order illustrated, with the background color at the back and the sub-picture at the front (used as a cursor plane). The sub-picture plane can alternatively be positioned between the OSD and MPEG video planes where it can be used as a second on-screen display plane.
Audio decoder
The audio decoder accepts: Dolby Digital, MPEG-1 layers I, II and III, MPEG-2 layer II 6-channel, PCM, CDDA data formats; MPEG2 PES streams for MPEG-2, MPEG-1, Dolby Digital, MP3, and Linear PCM (LPCM). The audio decoder supports DTS® digital out (DVD DTS and CDDA DTS). SPDIF input data (IEC-60958 or IEC-61937 standards) is accepted if an external circuitry extracts the PCM clock from the stream. Skip frame, repeat blocks and soft mute frame features can be used to synchronize audio and video data. PTS audio extraction is also supported. The device outputs up to 6 channels of PCM data and appropriate clocks for external digital-to-analog converters. Programmable downmix enables 1,2,3 or 4 channel outputs. Data can be output in either I²S format or Sony format. The decoder can format output data according to IEC-60958 standard (for non compressed data: L/R channels, 16, 18, 20 and 24-bits) or IEC-61937 standard (for compressed data), for FS = 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 32 kHz. Sampling frequencies of 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz and half sampling frequencies are supported.
A down sampling filter (96 kHz/48 kHz) is available. The decoder supports dual mode for MPEG and Dolby Digital. It includes a Dolby surround compatible downmix and a ProLogic decoder. A pink noise generator enables the accurate positioning of speakers for optimal surround sound setup. PCM beep tone is a special mode used for Set Top Box. It generates a triangular signal of variable frequency and amplitude on the left and right channels. In global mute mode, the decoder decodes the incoming bitstream normally but the PCM and SPDIF outputs are soft muted. This mode is used to prepare a period of decoding mode, to synchronize audio and video data without hearing the audio. Slow-forward and fast-forward trick modes are available for compressed and non-compressed data. The control interface of the decoder is activated via memory mapped registers in the ST20 address space.
IR transmitter/receiver
The STi5518 provides a pulse-position modulated signal for automatic VCR programming by the set-top box. The signal is output to the IR blast pin and an accessory jack pin, simultaneously. The pulse frequency, number of pulses (envelope length) and the total cycle time is controlled by registers.

Modem analog front-end interface
The Modem Analog Front-end interface is used to transfer transmit and receive DAC and ADC samples between the memory and an external modem analog front-end (MAFE), using a synchronous serial protocol. DMA is used to transfer the sample data between memory buffers and the MAFE interface module, with separate transmit and receive buffers and double buffering of the buffer pointers. FIFOs are used to take into account the access latency to memory, in a worst case system and to allow the use of bursts for memory bandwidth efficiency improvement. The V22 bis standard is supported.
Memory subsystem
On-chip
The on-chip memory includes 2Kbytes of instruction cache, 2Kbytes of data cache and 4Kbytes of SRAM that can be optionally configured as data cache. The subsystem provides 240M/bytes of internal bandwidth, supporting pipelined 2- cycle internal memory access. The instruction and data caches are direct-mapped, with a write-back system for the data-cache. The caches support burst accesses to the external memories for refill and write-back. Burst access increases the performance of pagemode DRAM memories.
Off-chip
There are two off-chip memory interfaces:
• The external memory interface (EMI) accessed by the ST20 is used for the transfer of data and programs between the STi5518 and external peripherals, flash and additional SDRAM and DRAM.
• Shared memory interface (SMI) controls the movement of data between the STi5518 and 16, 32 or 64 Mbits of SDRAM. This external SDRAM stores the display data generated by the MPEG decoder and CPU and the C2+ code data.  The EMI uses minimal external support logic to support memory subsystems, and accesses a 32 Mbytes of physical address space (greater if SDRAM or DRAM is used) in four general purpose memory banks of 8 or 16 bits wide, 21 or 22 address lines, and byte select. For applications requiring extra memory, the EMI supports this extra memory with zero external support logic, even for 16-bit SDRAM devices. The EMI can be configured for a wide variety of timing and decode functions by the configuration registers. The timing of each of the four memory banks can be set separately, with different device types being placed in each bank with no need for external hardware.
 Serial communication
Asynchronous serial controllers
The Asynchronous Serial Controller (ASC), also referred to as the UART interface, provides serial communication between the STi5518 and other micro-controllers, microprocessors or external peripherals. The STi5518 has four ASCs, two of which are generally used by the Smart card controllers.  Eight or nine bit data transfer, parity generation, and the number of stop bits are programmable. Parity, framing, and overrun error detection increase data transfer reliability. Transmission and reception of data can be double-buffered, or 16-deep FIFOs can be used. A mechanism to distinguish the address from the data bytes is included for multiprocessor communication. Testing is supported by a loop-back option. A 16-bit baud-rate generator provides the ASC with a separate serial clock signal. Two ASCs support full-duplex and 2 half-duplex asynchronous communication, where both the transmitter and the receiver use the same data frame format and the same baud rate. Each ASC can be set to operate in Smartcard mode for use when interfacing to a Smartcard.
Synchronous serial controller
Two Synchronous Serial Controllers (SSC) provide high-speed interfaces to a wide variety of serial memories, remote control receivers and other micro controllers. The SSCs support all of the features of the Serial Peripheral Interface bus (SPI) and the I2C bus. The SSCs can be programmed to interface to other serial bus standards. The SSCs share pins with the parallel input/output (PIO) ports, and support half-duplex synchronous communication.
Front-end interface
The STi5518 can be connected to a front-end through the following interfaces:
• I2S interface;
• multi-format serial interface;
• multi-format parallel interface;
• ATAPI interface (for Hard Disk Drives and DVD-ROMs)

On-chip PLL
The on-chip PLL accepts 27 MHz input and generates all the internal high-frequency clocks needed for the CPU, MPEG and audio subsystems.
Diagnostic controller (DCU)
The ST20 Diagnostic Controller Unit (DCU) is used to boot the CPU and to control and monitor the chip systems via the standard IEEE 1194.1 Test Access Port. The DCU includes on-chip hardware with ICE (In Circuit Emulation) and LSA (Logic State Analyzer) features to facilitate verification and debugging of software running on the on-chip CPU in real time. It is an independent hardware module with a private link from the host to support real-time diagnostics.
Interrupt subsystem
The interrupt system allows an on-chip module or external interrupt pin to interrupt an active process so that an interrupt handling process can be run. An interrupt can be signalled by one of the following: a signal on an external interrupt pin, a signal from an internal peripheral or subsystem, software asserting an interrupt in the pending register. Interrupts are implemented by an on-chip interrupt controller and an on-chip interrupt-level controller. The interrupt controller supports eight prioritized interrupts as inputs and manages the pending interrupts. This allows the nesting of pre-emptive interrupts for real-time system design. Each interrupt can be programmed to be at a
lower or higher priority than the high priority process queue.
PAL/NTSC/SECAM encoder
The integrated digital encoder converts a multiplexed 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 YCbCr stream into a standard analog base-band PAL/NTSC or SECAM signal and into RGB, YUV, Yc and CVBS components. The encoder can perform closed caption, CGMS encoding, and allows MacrovisionTM 7.01/6.1 copy protection. The DENC is able to encode Teletext according to the “CCIR/ITU-R Broadcast Teletext System B” specification, also known as “World System Teletext”.  In DVB applications, Teletext data is embedded within DVB streams as MPEG data packets. It is the responsibility of the software to handle incoming data packets and in particular to store Teletext packets in a buffer, which then passes them to the DENC on request.

Smart-card interfaces
Two Smartcard interfaces support Smartcards compliant with ISO7816-3. Each interface is has a UART (ASC), a dedicated programmable clock generator, and eight bits of parallel IO port.
PWM and counter module
The PWM and counter module provides three PWM encoder outputs, three PWM decoder (capture) inputs and four programmable timers. Each capture input can be programmed to detect rising edge, falling edge, both edges or neither edge (disabled). These facilities are clocked by two independent clocks, one for PWM outputs and one for capture inputs/timers. The PWM counter is 8-bit, with 8-bit registers to set the output-high time. The  capture/compare counter and the compare and capture registers are 32-bit. The module generates a single interrupt signal.
Parallel I/O module
44 bits of parallel I/O are configured in 6 ports, and each bit is programmable as output or input. The output can be configured as a totem-pole or open-drain driver. The input compare logic can generate an interrupt on any change of any input bit. Many parallel IO have alternate functions and can be connected to an internal peripheral signal such as a UART or SSC
POWER BOARD (16PW07 E3)
The TOPSwitch concept is used for power supply. TOP 233Y (IC1) is designed to work until 50 Watts in family of TOPSwitch_FX with 5 pins. The receiver works between 85 and 265 VAC mains voltage by using TOP 233Y in SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply). The secondary voltage regulation is adjusted by changing the duty cycle of drain signal according to the feedback voltage, which is got from the secondary side of transformer. The feedback voltages are 3.3V and 5V. This is connected to the comparator pin of TOP 233Y (IC1-pin1) via IC12 (Optocoupler). The comparator pin also protects the box against short circuits and overload. The Vcc voltage of IC1 is between 2V –3V at pin2. The TOP 233Y works at a fixed frequency. This frequency is fixed by RC oscillator at pin1. The pin3 and pin 4 are ground and the pin5 is drain of MOSFET, which is inside the TOP 233Y.
The switching of LNB supply voltage is done here. 18V and 22V outputs of transformer switched by Q1, Q2 and H/V output of STV299 (TU400). By this way overheating and unnecessary power consumption of Q5 (BD235) that regulates the LNB supply is prevented.
22kHz tone which is needed for DiSEqC signals, is generated at pin15 (Alps-TU400) or pin12 (Sharp-TU400) of STV0299 in tuner 22KHz is added to LNB supply here via LM358N (IC4).
MAIN BOARD (16MB07 E3 )
The main board contains two parts: Front-end and Back-end. The digital signal is demodulated in Front-end and then decoded in Back-end. Analog signals are processed in different part.
The tuner (TU400 Alps or Sharp) is capable of getting both digital broadcasts. After the modulated signals (I, Q outputs) receive from tuner, they go to STV0299 for demodulation process in tuner. (TU400) In this IC, QPSK (Quadrated Phase Shift Keying) demodulation and Forward Error Correction (FEC) are done which is necessary to demodulate DVB-S transmission. TS (transport stream): The multiplexed digital stream which includes video, audio and data information related to more than one channel (can be only one channel for SCPC signals) and DVB tables. TS signals which are generated after demodulation, reach to Sti5518 (IC100) via 8 bits data bus. However, Byte Clock (TSIn_BCLK), Packet Clock (TSIn _STROUT) signals are also sent to ST5518 (IC100) for demultiplexing process of TS. STV0299 is controlled by I2C. In addition, 22kHz tone which is needed for DiSEqC signals, is generated at pin12 (Alps) or pin10 (Sharp) of STV0299 in tuner.
LNB supply voltage (13/18V) is regulated via power board. Switching of supply voltage between LOOP_IN and LNB_SUPPLY is done by Q402 transistors. The voltage on R403 is proportional with the current of LNB supply. Overload on LNB supply increases the voltage on R403, which results switching of Q400, Q401. By this way input LNB_OVERLOAD signal port of Sti 5518 (IC100) has the knowledge of LNB overload and then LNB supply is cut off for protection of box via Sti 5518 port (P25).
At the backend part, there is a 32-bit CPU ST20 (in Sti 5518 embedded) that controls all processes. Demultiplexer of the CPU provides the transmission of the desired channel’s information from TS (Transport Stream) to MPEG Decoder section. The program that runs on Sti5518 is in Flash memories (IC301). 8Mbits SDRAM (IC300) is used for data memory of this program.
ST20 uses 32- bit data and 22- bit address buses for access to flash, DRAM and MPEG decoder. It uses RAS, CAS etc. (read, write, enable) signals to activate related IC while accessing them.
The clock which is needed by Sti 5518 (IC100), is generated at power on mode by 27MHz crystal (X100) and IC102 (74HCU04). The output of PWM outputs of Sti 5518 (IC100), is filtered to have a DC level via R129 and C118. At the output of ICS3, the 27MHz clock can be adjusted according to capacity of pins of 27MHz crystal to ground. This capacity is related with DC value on D100 and D101 (BB133) at pins of crystal. This operation maintains synchronization between audio-video that are coming from MPEG transport stream and PCR clock.
Sti 5518 (IC100) can communicate any micro controller via RS232 by using IC101 (MAX232- RS232 level converter). The RS232 output of receiver is used for debug any problem using Windows Hyper Terminal program.
MPEG decoder in Sti 5518 (IC100), is responsible for decoding of MPEG video and audio signals. The video, which is compressed using MPEG2 and audio, which is compressed using MPEG1 Layer 1-2, are processed here. After decoding, CCIR 601 formatted 8-bit video and PCM formatted audio, are generated by mpeg decoder.  If digital broadcast has a teletext information, Sti 5518 (IC100) inserts teletext info into VBI (vertical blanking interval) which can be watched on TV. Digital audio that is PCM formatted on Sti 5518’ s output, is processed by CS4335 (IC500) and amplified by LM833 (IC501) and then switched through IC200 (M74HC4052).
In digital mode, RGB signals are only delivered to TV scart. CVBS output is distributed through IC201 (M74HC4052) to TV, AUX/VCR and VCR scarts. When VCR becomes active, audio and video signals are driven to TV and VCR scarts, which is activated by pin8 of VCR scart.
The program information is stored in 128Kbits EEPROM (24C128 – IC302) via I2C.

BN44-00192A – Samsung Universal Power supply for LCD TVs – circuit diagram and working principle

$
0
0
The BN44-00192A is used on Samsung LCD TVs with a diagonal size of 26 and 32 inches.
The circuit can be divided into the following areas:
- Power Factor Corrector (PFC or PFC - Power Factor Correction);
- Power supply;
- Work energy source;
Consider the circuits of these nodes in more detail.
Power Factor Correction
The Power Factor Correction (PFC) serves to eliminate the harmonics in the input circuit that the Rectifier diodes make together with the electrolytic capacitor of the IIP network rectifier filter.
In the absence or malfunction of the PFC and the input filters, the current in the rectifier network is only at short intervals of the capacitor load time, when the amplitude value of the voltage is equal to the voltage in the capacitor and the current consumed takes the form of short pulses with amplitude of several amps.
Details of current distortion and Power Factor (CM or PF - Power Factor) in rectifiers are considered on the page of a full-wave rectifier.
Due to the negative effects of harmonics in the electrical network, manufacturers incorporate a PFC circuit, active or passive depending on the power, according to the European standard of electrical compatibility EN 61000-3-2 for Class D devices.
As a result of the operation of the PFC module of the active device BN44-00192, the current in the input is forced by the LP801 blocker, the QP801S electrical switch and the DP802 diode, which are the of the step-up  converter.
The switch is controlled by the ICP801S PWM controller and, in addition to providing a stable output capacitor, generates a current during the period in the form of a set of short pulses whose amplitude is determined taking into account the internal multiplier (multiplexer) of the input and output.
In this case, the line of received current pulses repeats the form of the rectified grid voltage applied at the 100 Hz frequency applied to the accelerator.  The frequency of the current pulses generated by the device is within tens of kilohertz and is partially filtered by the CP801 0.47 uF capacitor at the PFC input.
Finally, the highest current harmonics are separated from the network by an input filter using two parallel coils. As a result, the current in the input circuit acquires a shape close to the sinusoidal and the power factor of the power module becomes close to 100%.
The PFC device is connected simultaneously with the working power supply, changing the voltage M_Vcc on pin 8 of the ICP801S controller.  In the standby mode, the active PFC does not work and the rectified grid voltage (+311 V) of the diode bridge passes through the diode DP801 to the filter capacitor. With low loads, there are input filters sufficient to filter the harmonics, which are essentially passive PFC (CMC)
Standby power.
The unit is implemented according to the controller controlled flyback converter scheme PWM ICB801S. The drive operates at a fixed frequency of 55-67 kHz and generates a stable 5.2 V at the output with a load current of up to 0.6 A to power the control processor in the PWM chips from the main source and PFC in the operating mode.
The transition from the standby mode of the TV to the working mode is carried out by switching the 5.2 V the transistor switch QB802. In this case, the supply voltage M_Vcc goes to the controllers PWM ICP801S and ICM801, simultaneously initiating the PFC node and the main power supply.
Operational power supply
The source is a front transducer made by a half bridge circuit and generates the following voltages stabilized on output:
24 V to turn on the inverter display.
13 V.
12 V.
5.3 V for Main_Board supply, obtained by means of the 24 V rectifier step-down converter.
Typical malfunctions
Known popular defects of this module are:
- Malfunction of secondary rectifier filter capacitors.
- Crack formation in the welds of transistor QB802, which connects the M_Vcc power supply of the standby mode.
Less common defects:
- Disaggregation of working source switch transistors (QM801, QM802) and breaker resistor RM801 due to a mode violation when working with faulty capacitors from its secondary rectifiers.
- Overheating of the aforementioned key transistors due to the malfunction of the capacitor CM801 of the master oscillator PWM due to a change in frequency of the inverter operation.

Power supply
TV does not turn on:
> The first check that must be made is to check that the red LED, located on the front panel of the appliance is switched on.
Confirm the 5V Standby voltage on the connector CN6203 - pin 1 (PCI G2)

TV does not have standby voltage 5V:
> Confirm the voltage of 170V (at 110V) or 308V (at 220V) at pin 5 of the IC6300. It is voltage is required for the startup of the IC6300. If there is no voltage on pin 5, check the F6000 fuse, the D6300 rectifier bridge, and the TH6300 thermistor.
> Confirm the 16.1V voltage on pin 2 of the IC6300. This tension should remain constant. If the voltage increases and the appliance switches off immediately, the IC6300 must not be controlling the working frequency of the T6300 transformer;
> Confirm the frequency of pins 7 and 8 of the IC6300 relative to GND - pin 3. This should be at approximately 100 to 120KHz. If it is too high below this range, then there is a problem on some secondary line of feedback;
> Confirm the voltage of 1.1V on pin 4 of the IC6300. In normal operation, this pin must be approximately 1.1V. This voltage is directly related to the output voltage of 5V. If a short circuit occurs in the 5V line, the voltage on pin 4 will decrease. Case an overvoltage problem arising from a defect in the feedback line occurs, the voltage on pin 4 will increase. Even if the feedback line is open, the frequency will increase greatly.
You can work with the device's separate standby source. To do this, you must turn off the and disconnect the CN6203 connector. Power the standby source with an AC voltage and check the items described earlier. If the voltages are normal, there is a transformer secondary load problem T6300. That is, some short or consumption on the StandBy 5V line, which is connected to the A3U board.
If the PH6300 photo-coupler is experiencing problems, the IC6300 will not StandBy voltage. To isolate the photo-coupler, we must ground the resistor R6306 or short circuit pins 3 and 4 of the photocell PH6300. In doing so, the IC6300 should its working frequency to 4 KHz and the secondary voltage of the T6300 transformer
(STANDBY 5V) will be 2.8 volts.
b) TV has standby voltage 5V:
> Confirm 5V voltage through CN1003 - pin 9 (PCI B);
> Confirm the 3.3V voltage through the FL1001
> Confirm the 3.3V voltage (reset) through the IC1001 - pino92
> Confirm the XTAL1001's 16.15MHz waveform (System Clock)
> Confirm that when the TV is switched on using the POWER button, the voltage on the CN1007 - pin2 drops from 3.3V to 0V.
Power On:
> Confirm that the DC level "POWER1" is released by the IC1001 - pin7, measure JL1072
> Confirm the 2.9V DC level on the CN6203 - pin3
> Confirm the unregulated voltages of 15V, 33V, 10.5V through the CN6200 and the voltage regulated from 17.5 in CN6202. After the power supply oscillator has run voltages appear on the CN6200 and CN6202 connectors, the microprocessor releases the Power2, Power3 and Power4 signals to release regulator voltages.
Power Supply.
Confirming operation of primary primary power supply
> Confirm the 5V standby voltage. This step is necessary since the IC6300 must be powered with a voltage of 16.2V - VC1. This 16.2V voltage is produced from the 5V Standby Voltage;
> Confirm that there is voltage rectified after the D6000 rectifier bridge;
• Does the green LED light up when the appliance is switched on?
* If the Green LED lights up after pressing the POWER button, the microprocessor has received the drive command and is running correctly;
* If the Green LED does not light after pressing the POWER button, it indicates that there is some problem with the microprocessor
> Confirm that the signal from POWER 1 (Power ON) went to 2.9V on the connector CN6203 - pin 3;
> Confirm all voltages from the primary main power supply:
or regulated 17.5V;
or unregulated 10.5V, 15V and 17.5V.
2. Confirming operation of the secondary main power supply
> Confirm the 5V standby voltage. This step is necessary since the IC6300 must be powered with a voltage of 16.2V - VC1. This 16.2V voltage is produced from the 5V Standby Voltage.
> Confirm the existence of primary mains supply voltages:
or regulated 17.5V; the unregulated 10.5V, 15V, 17.5V and 33V.
> Check PS8501 (D5V) and PS8551 (Panel);
> Confirm the Power 2, Power 3 and Power 4 signals go high (3.2V) at the connector CN9401 - pins 41, 43 and 44;

> Confirm the output voltages: D5V, A9V, PANEL 5V.
Protections
According to item 13 of the Technical Training handbook 01/06, there are 5 protections in the chassis WAX - BRAVIA line:
1. DC ALERT 1- PANEL_5V
> Confirm via IC1001 / pin 44 (JL1055) if there is a voltage of 3.1V - DCALERT1;
a) Television has no voltage of 3.1V (Protection of DCALERT1 triggered);
> Confirm the regulated voltage of 17.5V through the CN6200 / pins1 to 5;
> Confirm the 5V voltage through the IC8552 / pin2 (A3U board)
2. DC ALERT 2 - A_9V
> Confirm via IC1001 / pin 45 (JL1054) if there is a 3.2V voltage - DCALERT2
a) Television has no voltage of 3.2V (DCALERT2 protection activated);
> Confirm the A9V power supply via the CN9405 / pin4 (A3U board);
b) If you do not have A9V power:
> Check the 9V regulator - IC8653
> Confirm regulated voltage of 10.5V via CN8601 / pin 9 or 10 (A3U board)
3. DC ALERT 3 - AU_15V
> Confirm via IC1001 / pino51 (JL1057) if there is a voltage of 3.2V - DCALERT3
a) Television has no 3.2V voltage (DCALERT3 protection on);
> Confirm via CN8601 / pins 13 or 14 if there is a voltage of 15.7V (AU15V)
> If you do not find the 15.7V voltage, check the power source, which should not be to be oscillating.
 Back Light
> Confirm via CN8603 / pin5 if there is voltage of 3.1V - BackLight;
a) Television has no voltage of 3.1V;
> Confirm via CN6203 / pin4 if there is a voltage drop of the Acc OF Det (0V) line;
b) Television has a voltage of 3.1V;
• Confirm via CN8603 / pin4 if there is a voltage of 2.3V (A3U board) – PANEL DET. If the Panel_Det signal does not exist, the LCD panel assembly may be defect;
5. Abnormal Voltage on Power Supply
• Confirm the regulated voltage of 17.5V on pin 1 of the CN1003 connector, located on the
B. If this voltage decreases (below 10V) or increases (above 23V), the microprocessor receives a sample of this voltage on pin 121 of the microprocessor and triggers protection.
6. Abnormal voltage in Speakers
• Confirm via R7813 or Q7744 collector if there is a voltage of 2.8V A3U)
a) Television does not have voltage of 2.8V;
• Confirm that there is a DC level on the audio output.
7. High Internal Temperature
There is a sensor on the B board, which monitors the internal temperature of the appliance. This sensor composed of IC1007, which communicates with the microprocessor through the Data and Clock communication (pins 1 and 2 of IC1007).
When this protection is activated, the device switches off and the LED flashes 7 times.
