Circuit Description
EN 55L01.2E AB 9.
– 9.5 to 12 V: EXTERNAL 4:3
• SEL-MAIN-FRNT-RR This is the ‘source select control’
signal from the microprocessor. This control line is under
user control or can be activated by the other two control
lines.
9.7.6 Power Supply Control
The microprocessor part is supplied with 3.3 V and 3.9 V both
derived from the ‘MainAux’ voltage via a 3V3 stabiliser (7560)
and a diode.
Two signals are used to control the power supply:
• Stdby_con This signal is generated by the microprocessor
when over-current takes place at the ‘MainAux’ line. This is
done to enable the power supply into standby burst mode,
and to enable this mode during a protection. This signal is
‘low’ under normal operation conditions and goes to ‘high’
(3.3 V) under ‘standby’ and ‘fault’ conditions.
• POWER_DOWN This signal is generated by the power
supply. Under normal operating conditions this signal is
‘high’ (3.3 V). During ‘standby’ mode, this signal is a pulse
train of approx. 10 Hz and a ‘high’ duration of 5 ms. It is
used to give information to the UOC about the fault
condition in the Audio amplifier supply circuit. This
information is generated by sensing the current on the
‘MainAux’ line (using voltage drop across R3564 to trigger
TS7562). This signal goes ‘low’ when the DC-current on
the ‘MainAux’ line exceeds 1.6 - 2.0 A. It is also used to
give an early warning to the UOC about a power failure.
Then the information is used to mute the sound amplifier to
prevent a switch off noise and to solve the switch-off spot.
9.7.7 Tuner IF
Pin 3 of the UOC (SEL-IF-LL’_M-TRAP), is an output pin to
switch the SAW-filter to the appropriate system.
• If UOC pin 3 is ‘low’, the selected system is:
– West Europe: PAL B/G, I, SECAM L/L’
– East Europe: PAL B/G
– Asia Pacific: NTSC M
• If UOC pin 3 is ‘high’, the selected system is:
– West Europe: SECAM L’, L’-NICAM
– East Europe: PAL D/K
– Asia Pacific: PAL B/G, D/K, I
Note: For West Europe, two separate SAW filters (1002 and
1004) are used for video and audio (Quasi Split Sound
demodulation). For East Europe, one SAW filter (1003) is used
for both (Intercarrier demodulation).
9.7.8 Protection Events
Several protection events are controlled by the UOC:
• BC protection, to protect the picture tube from a too high
beam current. The UOC has the capability of measuring
the normal back level current during the vertical flyback. So
if for some reason the CRT circuit is malfunctioning (i.e.
high beam current), the normal black current will be out of
the 75 µA range, and the UOC will trigger the power supply
to shut down. However, this is a high beam-current
situation, the TV screen will be bright white before the set
is shut down.
• I2C protection, to check whether all I
2
C IC's are
functioning.
In case one of these protections is activated, the set will go into
‘standby’. The ‘on’ and ‘standby’ LEDs are controlled via the
UOC.
