1) CircuitDescription
1.PowerBoard Operation
1.1Line filter consists of C801, T801, C802, C803, C804. It eliminates high frequencyinterference to meet EMI s
requirement.
1.2Rec &Filter
Bridge diode D801 convertsAC source into pulsed DC. Thispulsed DC is smoothed and filtered by C805.
R802 isan NTC( negative thermalcoefficient) resistor, used to reduce inrushcurrent to be within saferange.
1.3Powertransformer:
T802 convertsenergyfor square wave frompower sourceC805 to secondaryside to generate+12Vand+22V.
1.4Output :
The squarewave fromT802 is rectifiedbyD809, D811, then filteredbyC822, C817 togenerate +12Vand+22V
respectively.I804 is theregulator for +5V output.
1.5Driver:
Q803 drive T802 fromPWM controlofI801 for power converted.
1.6FB:
Negativefeedback CKTconsists of photo coupler I802 and adjustable regulator I803. It can maintain output
voltages+22V and+12Vatastablelevel.
1.7PWM :
1.7.1Start:When poweristurnedon, Q801 conductsdue tobiasfromC805 andR805,R803. C807 is chargeda
16 voltand a starting current about 0.3mA to pin 7 of I801. I801 startsto oscillateand outputs a pulse
trainthroughpin6to driveQ803.
1.7.2OPP:When Q803 turnson, C805 suppliesalinearly increasing triangle currentthrough the primary
inductanceof T802 to thedriver Q803, oncethepeakvalue of thiscurrent multiplied by R811 exceeds1
volt, pulsetrainwillbe turnoffimmediately to protectQ803, T802 from being burned out.
1.7.3Regulation :Ifoutputvoltage+22V or 12V goesup, theRterminalof I803 getsmorebias,accordingly
photo transistor and photo diode flows more current. The voltage of pin 2 of I801 goes up too, making
the pulse widthofpin6of I801 to become narrower. So the outputvoltage+5V will be pulled down to a
stable value.
1.7.4OVP : If +22Vor 12V goesuptoo much,theinduced voltageon pin 4of T802 becomeslargealso.
Suppose that it isover 18 volts, ZD801 conducts, pin 3 of I801 is pulled up over 1 volt. The pulse train at
pin 6of I801 goes down tozero, shuttingQ803 off immediately.
1.7.5SCP:If output terminal is short to ground, phototransistor does not conduct, hence Q806 does not
conducteither. Then oscillationof I801 is stop, shutting Q803 offimmediately.

2.Inverter Operation
This unit operates on an output voltage of 22Vfrompower source.
2.1VCC:WhenOn/Off pinof P802 ishighlevel input, Q106 turnson and provides +5VDCfor I101 powersupply.
2.2Control IC: I101 (OZ960S)
2.2.1Enable :When pin 3ofI101 is over1.5V,I101 works.Ifitis under1.5V,I101 turns off.
2.2.2OSC:WhenI101 enabled, R108/C115 (pin17/pin18 ofI101) determinethe operating frequency.
2.2.3SST: C104 (pin 4of I101) provides soft start function.
2.2.4Ignition:R109 (pin 8 of I101) provideshigher operatingfrequency for more strikingvoltageuntil regula-
tionof feedbackoflampcurrent.C103 (pin1ofI101) determinethestrikingtime.
2.2.5Dimmingcontrol: Thedividedvoltageof R106/R105/R104 controlthedutypulse ofburst-modeto drive
Q105andperformawidedimmingcontrolfor the CCFL.The burst-modefrequencyis determinedbyC116.
2.2.6Regulation:Pin 9/pin 10 ofI101 provide regulationoftheCCFL currentfromfeedback.The non-inverting
reference(pin 10 ofI101) isat 1.25Vnominal.
2.3Protection:Open-lampprotectionintheignitionperiod is provided throughbothpin1 andpin2of I101 to ensure
a rated voltage is achieved and a required timing is satisfied.
RemovaloftheCCFLduringnormal operation will triggerthe currentamplifier(pin9/pin 10 of I101) outputand
shuts off theinverter. This is latch function.
2.4
2.4.1Output drivers: The configuration prevents anyshoot-through issue associated with bridge-type power
conversionapplications.Adjustingthe overlapconductionbetween I102 P-MOSFET and I103 N-MOSFET,
I101 N-MOSFET andI103 P-MOSFET,the CCFLcurrentregulationis achieved.
2.4.2Full-bridge switching/Transformer:I102/I103 /C123/T101 compose full-bridge switchingto convert DC
into AC for drivertheCCFL.
2.5Detection: C128/C129/C132/D115/D114/C118 detect the output voltage and ensure a rated voltage by pin2 of
I101.
2.6Feedback: D116/D117/R120/D108/R116 sense thelampcurrentfor negativefeedback andregulation.The divided
voltage onR116 will beat 1.25V.

4.1Detection of POWER switch status
The MCU identifies the ONstatus of the two power supplies. The identification is made when the
power supplyis turn off. For example, if the power supply is turn off with the POWER switch, the
POWER switch must be turn on when active the power supplyagain. If the power supplyis turned off
by pulling outthe power cord,then this power supplycanbeturned on byconnecting the powercord,
without pressing the POWER switch.
4.2Display modeidentification
4.2.1Display modeidentification
The display mode of input signal is identified based on Table 2.
When the mode hasbeen identified through the measurement of horizontal and vertical frequencies,
the totalnumber oflines is determined with aformula of “Horizontalfrequency /Vertical frequency=
Totalnumber ofnumber of lines”.Final identification canbe made byexamining the coincidence of the
obtained figure with the number of lines for the modeidentified fromthe frequency. The Distinction
Hsync and Vsync of each mode is shown in Table 3.
When the detected frequencyifthe sync signalhaschanged, the totalnumber oflinesshouldbe
counted even through it is range identifiedfrequencyin the same mode.
4.2.2Out of range
This out of range mode is assumed when the frequencyout ofthe horizontal / verticalsignal is as
specified below.
Vertical frequency:56 ~76Hz.
Horizontal frequency:30 ~81.1KHz.
4.2.3Power save mode
The power save mode is assumed whenthe horizontal / vertical signals are as specified below.
If there is no horizontal sync signal input.
If there is no vertical sync signal input.
If the horizontal sync signal is outside themeasuring rangeof MST8111B.
If the vertical sync signal is outside the measuring range of MST8111B.

Check the R, G, B input video signals on I305
pin63, 60, 58 respectivelythat their level is 0.5
to0.7Vp-p.
Failure Point
In the case of theRed signal. (A Green and
Blue signal is thesame path, too.)
1)Printed wire broke between P302 pin 9 and
I305 pin63.
2) Video cable isfailure.
3) R322 is short or open.
4) R318 is short or open.
5) C332 is short or open.

Check the input TTLlevel whether waschanged when
pressed function keys on the P308 pin3, 4, 5, 6. (normal is
high level, when push buttom, generated lowlevel plus)
OK
NG Failure Point
1) Function keywire disconnection.
2) Function keywire is failure.
3) Function keyboard is failure.
Check the input TTLlevel whether waschanged when
pressed function keys on the I307 pin1, 2, 41, 42. (normal
is high level, when push buttom, generated lowlevel plus)
OK
NG Failure Point
1) Printed wire broke between P308 pin3 and I307 pin41.
2) Printed wire broke between P308 pin4 and I307 pin2.
3) Printed wire broke between P308 pin5 and I307 pin1.
4) Printed wire broke between P308 pin6 and I307 pin42.
5) C404, C405, C406, C407 is short.
6) R367, R368, R369, R370 is short or open.
Failure Point
I307 is failure.

V.
OK
NG Failure Point
1) Printed wire broke between I304 pin8, D309,
D310 and P302 pin13.
2) D309 or D310 is failure.
3) D315 is failure.
Check the output signal of serial data / clock on I304
pin5, 6.
OK NG Failure Point
I304 is failure.
Check the voltage on P302 pin13 that ispower DC
5 V.
OK
NG Failure Point
TheVideo cable is failure.
Check the voltage on P302 pin11, 12 that is serial
data / clock signal.
OK
NG Failure Point
TheVideo cable is failure.
FailurePoint
1) Printed wire broke between I309 pin2, 3, I304
pin5, 6 and P302 pin11, 12.
2) I309 maybe failure.
3) R336, R337 is open.
4) C349, C350 is short.
