Circuit Descriptions and Abbreviation List
EN 140 EM5A P/M9.
• Most algorithms are located in the embedded processor of
the PICNIC, because of time-critical calculations, and
because most picture analysing and correction circuits are
present in the PICNIC. Some parts of the algorithms are
located in the main software, because the outcome needs
to be send to other I
2
C devices.
9.19.2 “Switch On” Behaviour
Below find the start up sequence:
1. After the power is applied, the Standby supply starts
oscillating, generating the +5V2 (and +3V3). A reset (POR)
is generated and the OTC is awakened.
2. Next step is the check whether the set needs to be in
“Standby” mode or not. Therefore, the NVM content is read
and the Standby-bit is checked. If the set is to stay in
Standby, there is no further action.
3. If the set will switches “on”, first the degaussing will be
activated (12 seconds).
4. Meanwhile the MSP is reset and the Standby line is pulled
low, leading to a full semi standby mode (5 V and 8V
switched on)
5. The OTC waits until the +5V and the +8 V are fully present.
This is done by checking the AD-input of the OTC. The
+5V, +8V, and I
2
C protection-algorithms are activated.
6. The HOP is instructed via the I
2
C-bus to start the drive.
7. Via the SUP-ENABLE signal, the main supply is activated.
The Line Deflection circuitry is supplied now with the V
BAT
,
and the EHT generation can start.
8. During start-up of the deflection, I
2
C traffic must be
disabled for 250 ms to avoid data corruption. If flashes or
spikes are generated during EHT start-up, I
2
C data could
be disturbed or corrupted.
9. After deflection is powered up completely, all the other
protection-algorithms are activated.
10. The black current stabilisation loop in the HOP is switched
on. Some extra checking is done to ensure that the loops
are completely stabilised.
11. The OTC sets all the necessary parameters for a correct
sound and image and unblanks the picture.
