P Board – Main Power Board P Board – Main Power Board When AC is applied to the TV, the Standby circuit of the P board outputs 5Vdc to the AP board. The STB5V passes through the AP board and enters the A board. On the A board The STB5V is converted to 3.3V to power the system control circuit for standby operation.

Main MPU (Power On Commands) Main MPU (Power On Commands) The STB 5V output of the P board passes through the AP board and enters the A board when the unit is plugged into the AC outlet. IC5702 of the A board converts the STB 5V to 3.3V to power the system control circuit. Activation of the power switch causes transistor Q5712 to turn off and output STB 3.3V to pin 18 of the MPU.
Page 20
Standby Operation Standby Operation When the main power switch is activated, it is sensed on the A board by the MPU IC1100. The TV_SUB_ON signal is subsequently issued in response on pin 8 of connector A4/AP4. It turns on the transistors Q7224 and Q7223 to output the “Relay voltage on pin 15 of connector AP2/P2.
SUB Voltages and Over voltage Protection SUB Voltages and Over voltage Protection The AP Board is responsible for the regulation, distribution and dissemination of all secondary voltages derived from the 24V output of the P Board. During standby operation, the 24V output of the P board biases the transistor Q7208 into operation, causing its collector to become “low”.
Main Voltages and Over voltage Protection Main Voltages and Over voltage Protection When the unit is turned on, the TV_Main_On command (high) of IC1100 biases the transistor Q7212 into operation, causing its collector to go “low”. The low at the collector of Q7212 causes the transistor Q7225 to turn off.
Inverter_On Command and Protection Inverter_On Command and Protection The INV_ON/OFF command (high) of the MPU, IC1100 of the A board, passes through the AP and P boards before entering the LCD panel. On the LCD panel, it triggers the operation of the inverter to produce the 120V AC that powers the backlight CCFLTs.

Over Current Protection Circuit Over Current Protection Circuit The protection shutdown circuit is designed to monitor for a short or loss of the SUB_9V, SOUND_VCC, BT30V, and the Panel VCC sources. If any of these voltage sources goes low, Q7210 turns on. As a result, the collector of Q7210 goes high to signal a shutdown condition to IC1100 on the A board.
