A Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is used to supply the line deflection stage (+140), the sound output stage (+15) and a number of other low voltages (+14V, +8V, +5V and +5V Standby) The controls located on the mono carrier are activated by the keyboard and RC5 signals from the remote control receiver. The internal control is via I2C. The 38.9 MHz IF video signal coming from the tuner is fed to the TDA884x (IC7150). This IC incorporates the video processing circuitry (PAL, NTSC and SECAM), synchronisation and geometry control. The sound processing section of the set is multi standard and uses a MSP3410 (mono, 2CS stereo and NICAM). In some stereo sets (mainly NICAM and FM DK) the QSS panel (Quasi Split Sound) will be applied to improve the SIF signal The CRT-panel contains integrated RGB amplifiers and SCAVEM circuitry. The RGB signals are then transmitted to the picture tube via the RGB amplifiers. The horizontal and vertical deflection signals (line and frame) are amplified in the driver stages, which drive the deflection coils. In all sets except 21" E/W correction is needed which is accommodated on a separate panel. For 16:9 sets the panorama circuitry is also accommodated on this panel

The degaussing circuit is activated whenever the TV set is turned on. So from normal off to on and from stand-by to on the degaussing circuit is activated. During start-up the signal degaus (A8-05) is high which blocks TS7900. After start-up of the uP the signal degaus (A8-05) becomes low for 3 seconds which forces TS7900 in conduction. Now the +13V is put on the coil of the relay and switch G5P-1 is closed. The degaussing current passes through the degaussing coil. After three seconds, DEGAUS goes high, 7900 turns off , 1901 is deenergised and no current passes through the degaussing coil at normal operation due to the fact that switch G5P-1 is opened. PTC 3906 is present in 220V sets and PTC 3908 is present in 110V sets.

POWER SUPPLY General information

A8.0E

The A8 power supply is a Switch Mode Power Supply(SMPS) with minimum voltage switch. The topology is a flyback converter with primary current sensing, secondary voltage sensing and mains input Voltage measuring. The power supply is built with IC 7902 which has a built-in MOSFET and control circuit. The frequency ranges for normal operation are 25kHz to 130kHz (full range) and 40kHz to 130kHz (single range and 120V). The SMPS works in discontinuous mode, so with a T-on, T-off and a Tdead. The FET is switched on during T-dead when the voltage at the drain of the built-in FET (IC7902 pin 3) is minimal due to oscillation of C2913 and the primary inductance of T5912. This is reducing the switching losses.

Personal notes

Output voltages
· · · · +14V (For Line Circuit and input voltage for stabilizer 7908) : +13.5V. If +14V and +8V are not present check 1905. +33V (For Tuner) : +33V. Created via R3994 and zenerdiode 6955 Vbat (Battery Voltage for Line Output Stage) : +140V (9917 present) or +130V (9918 present). +8V (Bimos Supply ) : +8.3V. Output voltage from stabilizer 7908. This voltage is decreased in standby to 2V3. In standby TS7909 is conducting and switching R3933 parallel to R3932. This will decrease the output voltage of 7908. +5Vstby (P Supply) : +5.1V. This voltage is also present during standby. If this voltage and +5V are missing check 1906. If the voltage at pin 1 and 2 of IC7907 are present replace 7907. +5V (For Tuner, QSS, BTSC or ITT etc) : +5.1V. This voltage is disabled when the +13V is not present at pin 3 of IC7907. +13V is generated by the line-output circuit. So when the line-output circuit is working correctly the +5V is enabled and the POR signal is generated to start the set. +15V ( Audio Supply) : +18V or +14V

Mains input circuit
The mains voltage is rectified by bridge rectifier D6903 or D6930 ,D6931 ,D6932, D6933 and filtered by C2906 . The DC voltage across C2906 is the DC input voltage for the SMPS at pin 6 of transformer T5912.

Start-up circuit
IC7902 is started when the voltage present at pin 4 is high enough. When the set is switched on, C2912 is charged through start-up resistor R3917. When the voltage across C2912 reaches 16V (Typical), the control circuit of IC 7902 starts to operate.

R3924 increases due to the increase of the drain current. When the voltage of pin 1 of IC7902 reaches the threshold voltage Vth(1) =0.73V, the MOSFET turns off. The voltage of pin 8 of T5912 becomes now positive . Power supply flybacks at this moment (so energy is released at the secondary side). Voltage applied at pin1 of 7902 is determined by the turn ratio of the transformer T5912 and R3962, R3991 ( Typical voltage is 3.5V) . This voltage is higher than threshold voltage Vth(2) (1.37V). Until the transformer is demagnetized, this voltage remains high. Once the energy stored in the transformer is fully transferred to the secondary side, the voltage at pin1 of IC7902 drops below the threshold voltage Vth1 after a certain delay time and a new cycle starts.

After the control circuit starts its operation, power is supplied by smoothing and rectifying the voltage of the supply winding ( 89 ) of T5912. The supply winding reaches the operation voltage before the voltage of C2912 drops below the shutdown voltage. Consequently, the control circuit can continue its operation.

Control circuit and oscillation phase
IC 7902 has two internal comparators . The thresholds of these two comparators are 0.73V and 1.37V. During T-on , the MOSFET inside IC7902 is conducting . The voltage across

Regulation
Control circuitry

Secondary voltage sensing
IC7902 (SMPS IC) and 7950 (Opto-Coupler ) form the secondary voltage regulation circuit. The error amplifier feedback is fed to the control circuit (7902, pin 1) by the optocoupler. The feedback is realized as follows:

Personal notes

When the output voltage Vbat increases (decrease of the load ), the voltage at the base of the internal transistor of IC7904 increases. As a result, the collector current of the internal transistor of IC7904 and the current through the diode in the opto-coupler 7950 increases. At the same time, Vce of the transistor part of 7950 decreases. Therefore, the voltage across C2915 increases. This will shorten the T-on time of the MOSFET of IC7902 The opposite story is valid for an increasing load (decrease of the output voltage Vbat). In case of a short-circuit between pin 3 and 2 of IC7902 check snubber circuit 2911, 6906,2971 and R3995.

A sample of the rectified voltage is fed to pin 1 of IC7902 by using potential divider resistors R3924, R3922 and R3941. The higher the input voltage, the more the transformer current is limited. In this way the maximum power of the power-supply is limited.

Protection
IC7902 has a latch circuit which latches when the thermal shutdown circuit or the over voltage shutdown protection circuit becomes active. The Latch circuit continues to stop the operation of the power supply when overvoltage protection or thermal shutdown circuit are or were in operation. As long as the sustaining current of the latch circuit is supplied via R3917 (start-up resistor) the power supply circuit sustains OFF. A restart can be arranged by switching off the mains voltage and subsequently switching on again. If IC7902 is in protection the oscilloscope wave form P3 can be measured at pin 4 of IC7902.

secondary output which is caused when the control circuit is open . Check in this case IC7904, IC7950 and the +142V.

Power supply Under-voltage behavior
In the event of a secondary voltage being short-circuited or excessively loaded, the voltage on winding 8-9 of T5912 is decreasing and so is the voltage of pin 4 of IC7902. When this voltage drops below the shutdown voltage, IC7902 stops operating. This will enable an increase of the voltage on pin4 via R3917. Under voltage can be identified by the supply rhythmically re starting.

Thermal protection
The thermal shutdown circuit triggers the latch circuit when the frame temperature of IC7902 exceeds 140C (typ).

Over-voltage protection
The over-voltage protection circuit, triggers the internal latch circuit of IC7902 when the voltage across C2912 exceeds 22.0V (typ). Since the voltage across C2912 is supplied from the drive winding (8-9) of the transformer and this voltage is proportional to the output voltage, it prevents overvoltage at the

When TS7960 is conducting, current is flowing through the diode of opto-coupler 7950 and the transistor part of IC7950 becomes saturated, which causes the voltage across C2915 to raise above 3V. This will prevent the oscillator of IC7902 from oscillation. Without any switching of the FET of IC7902 no switching losses will occur which will decrease the power consumption in standby. When TS7960 turns off, the SMPS will start working again. So in standby the power consumption will be low but the ripple on the output voltage will be higher. This is no problem due to the fact that the set is not operating.

Systems B,G,H,I,L,L',D, K,M and N can be received with the A8 chassis. Be aware that for most pattern generators the maximum tuning frequency is 860.00 MHz. At pin 9 of the tuner 33V (+VT =Voltage Tuning) has to be present for tuning a channel. This 33V is derived (via R3994 68k and D6955 33V zener diode) from Vbat (+140V) from main power supply (diagram A1).

The single chip TDA8844 (IC7150) processor is used to perform the following tasks: IF-detector, CVBS and SVHS source select, luminance and chrominance separator, PAL/ NTSC/SECAM chrominance decoder, video controller and horizontal & vertical sync/geometry-processor. The difference with previous TV-processors is that the SECAMdecoder is integrated and also the delay-line. Three video-signal flow diagrams are possible in the A8 chassis: · · · video path without PIP video path with YUV PIP (for Latam/AP) video path with YC PIP (for Taiwan/Korea)

Personal notes

The IF signal is fed to pin 54 of IC7150 (TDA8844). The demodulated CVBS is available on pin 6 and fed back to pin 13 for I/O-switching. The selected video-signal on pin 38 is fed to I/O SCART/Cinch and optional a comb-filter. Without combfilter is the video-signal internally processed, but the front-end signal can always be measured on pin 38 IC7150 to check correct tuning. YUV is fed to the TDA9178 (pin 28, 29, 30) and then from here to the RGB matrix via pins 27, 31 and 32.

VIDEO PROCESSING IF Demodulation (IC7150-A)

A8.0E

IF Demodulation (IC7150-A)

The video-signal is demodulated by means of a PLL carrier regenerator (no external LC-circuit anymore only a RC-network on pin 5 which determines the IF-loop filter). Internal there is a frequency detector and a phase detector. During acquisition the frequency detector will tune the VCO to the right frequency. The initial adjustment of the oscillator is realized via the IIC-bus. In the service menu IF-PLL is indicated, but this alignment has no effect anymore.

level). As R3131 is shortened, the AGC time-constant is shortly reduced giving a faster response.

Automatic Frequency Control (AFC)
The TDA8844 IC incorporates an alignment free IF-PLL concept which facilitates automatic frequency control via the I2C control. As a result of using this method, a separate AFC control control voltage is no longer required. Complete control is therefore accomplished via software. For search tuning two input signals (internally in the TDA8844) are used: video IDENT and AFC. If a transmitter is tuned the IDENT is valid and a digital AFC level is followed (as long as the IDENT is valid). Automatic Channel Installation (ACI) is possible with the A8 chassis. All channels will be stored according to the ACI-data. This data is a hidden (not selectable for the customer) txtpage(s). If ACI is not used by the cable network then the auto-store procedure is used. For Europe the channels found will be stored beginning from max. program number downwards. For Asian Pacific the channels found will be stored beginning from program 1 upwards.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
AGC control is used to maintain a constant signal at the tuneramplifiers when the incoming signal on pin 49 and 48 of TDA8844 becomes too high (above the take-over level). The take-over level (limiting point) of the AGC-control can be adjusted via I2C in the service menu. For negative modulation (BGIDKM systems have all negative modulation) the AGC circuit detects the top-sync level. The AGC DC signal from pin 54 TDA8844 is fed to pin 1 of the tuner. In normal situations (not at program switching) the AGC DC signal is smoothed by C2126 and R3126. To enable a fast AGC control at program switching, D6130 or D6131 shorten R3131 at high AGC peaks (a program switch gives a fast change from low to high or from high to low HF

For Germany, Austria, UK and Switzerland, the stored channels will be stored according to a table in the software (ATS).

Personal notes
Sound trap
The baseband CVBS signal (pin 6 of TDA8844), with a nominal value of 2Vpp, also contains the sound signals (FM demodulated mono sound for intercarrier sound processing; see Audio Processing) at a subcarrier of 4.5 / 5.5 / 6.0 / 6.5 MHz. These sound signal are filtered out by the sound trap crystals 1167,1168 and (selectable) 1165. Crystal 1167 is a 5.5 /5.75 MHz or triple trap 5.5/5.75/6.5 MHz ceramic filter, and crystal 1165 is a 4.5 MHz (for NTSC-M) ceramic filter (crystal 1168 is reserved and can be used as a 6.0 MHz sound trap for PAL/ NICAM I, or NTSC-M sound trap of 4.5MHz). For audio various concepts are possible: BASICFM mono/ AM mono NICAMFM stereo / NICAM BG/I/L'/M 2CS onlyFM mono/stereo BTSCmono/stereo and SAP (Second Audio Program)

BASIC
For the BASIC set, the FM-sound is demodulated by IC7150 (TDA8844). The baseband video-signal is fed via bandpass filter 1158 to pin 1 of IC7150. The mono output is pin 15. For AM-sound comes from Quasi Split Sound pin 10 IC7401 (TDA9810 on QSS-panel). The demodulated AM-signal is directly fed to the amplifier.

NICAM, AM Sound
The IF-output from the tuner is also fed to the QSS-panel (Diagram I). On the QSS-panel are two SAW filters used depending on system L/L'. Also the IC is internally switched via pin 7 because of different IF-sound frequencies. The demodulated AM-sound is available at pin 6 and fed to IC7430 (MSP3410D) for further sound selection. The IF-sound output pin10 IC7401 is fed to the MSP3410D. This IC can demodulate NICAM, 2CS and MONO signals.

2CS
The baseband output from IC7150 pin 6 is fed to the MSP3400C (without NICAM) for further demodulation.

BTSC/AV stereo
The baseband signal from IC7150 pin6 is fed to IC7437 (TDA9855) for decoding and sound processing. One of the rear cinch inputs, and the signal from the front cinch connectors is selected by IC7436 (HEF4052). The selected signal is fed to the TDA9855 (pin 12 and 41).

I/O switching with SCART REAR I/O panel

The block diagram below shows the I/O switching from the external inputs for sets with a SCART REAR I/O panel ( see Diagram E). The input of SCART1 is CVBS + RGB + LR and the output is always the video (+ sound) signal from the tuner (CVBS_INT). The input of SCART2 is YC + CVBS + LR. The output signal on SCART2 is CVBS_MON (+ sound), except when SCART2 is selected as the source for the main picture. Then the output on SCART2 is CVBS_INT (+ sound). SEL-MAIN-R1R2 is the selection between SCART1 (R1) and SCART2 (R2) via IC7100-A. With SEL-FRNT-RR selection is made between front and rear (IC7250 chassis).

RGB - switching

In A8 there 4 possible RGB sources: · · · · TXT and/or OSD from uP OSD from PCF8515 OSD generator EPG External RGB from SCART or Guide Plus (GEMSTAR)

·

The RGB_KILL signal is used to overrule an external RGB source from SCART.

Status signals
There are 3 status signals which come from SCART REAR I/O panel. With the information which comes from these status signals the set is set to the correct mode.

In previous chassis there was also RGB from PIP possible. In the A8 chassis the PIP/DW panel is in the YUV or Y/C signal path (see also the block diagram of the video path). The TDA8844 has only one RGB input, so switching between the different RGB sources is needed. The figure below shows the RGB switching. · · · All sets have RGB_TXT and/or RGB_OSD from uP. Only AP sets have the PCF8515 (separate OSD-IC) If the set has TXT from uP and OSD from PCF8515, these RGB sources are connected together via diodes and then connected to the input of TDA8844 directly. The software should make sure that there is no OSD during TXT. Jumpers A are in. For EPG sets a separate TXT/EPG processor (IC7007 diagram S) is used. The RGB of the EPG and OSD from (P are connected together via diodes and then connected to the input of TDA8844 directly. Jumpers A are in. For sets with external RGB (SCART), the selection between RGB_TXT/OSD and RGB_EXT is done with a IC7275 (TDA8601) RGB-switch.

Chrominance
The chrominance signal is internally applied to the PAL/NTSC/ SECAM chrominance decoder inside IC7150-B. Also the 64 µS delay line is integrated in the TDA8844. Chrominance can also be fed in on pin 10 from COMB-filter or SCART and luminance on pin 11. The chrominance demodulator determines whether a PAL, NTSC or SECAM signal is present and subsequently decodes its R-Y and B-Y signals. For LATAM there are three BI-NORMA versions, one TRINORMA and one FOUR-NORMA. Depending on the version a 3.6MHz x-tal or a 4.4MHz x-tal is connected to pin 35 of the BI-MOS. During INITIALIZATION of the BIMOS the XA,XB control bits have to be set in order to get a correct calibration of the BIMOS. If the XA,XB setting does not tally with the x-tal connected to pin 35, the line output transistor can be killed. So, this can not be done via a software option!! A option jumper between pin 52 of the uP and ground is used to distinguish between the x-tals connected to the BIMOS.

The crystals are also used as a reference for the line frequency (sync diagram A6). This means in case of colour problems (only black/white) the crystal could cause the symptom. Replace the crystal only by an original one! In case of only black-white the problem can also be the loop filter on pin 36 IC7150. So not always the IC causes the problem but mostly components around the IC. A defective crystal: no synchronisation! The DC-level of the CVBS-signal (pin13 front-end signal and pin17 from SCART) is also very important. In case this level is not correct than the symptom could be no picture.

YUV
The demodulated video-signal can be checked on pins 28,29,30 IC7150 and is fed to pins 27,31,32. In this path the YUV panel can be inserted. Without this panel, the jumpers 4225/4226/4227 are in. On the YUV-panel TDA9178 is used, which can control various picture improvements: histogram processing, colour transient improvement and luminance transient improvement. The TDA8844 is able to perform the following picture enhancements: · Sets without TDA9178; for sets without TDA9178 the Dynamic Skin Control and the Blue Stretch is controlled in theTDA8844. There is no Green Enhancement. Sets with TDA9178: for sets with TDA9178 the Dynamic Skin Control and Green Enhancement are controlled in the TDA9178. The Blue Stretch is controlled in the TDA8844 and the Blue Stretch of the TDA9178 is switched off. Green Enhancement. Is intended to shift low saturated green colours towards more saturated green colours. This shift is effective for only that part of the picture that matches with low saturated green. Blue stretch. For parts of the picture that are white, the colour temperature is changed a little bluish coloured white to give a brighter impression.

·

Dynamic Skin Control. Skin tones are very sensitive for hue errors, because the human eye has an absolute feeling for skin tones. To make a picture look free of hue error, the goal is to make sure that skin tones are put at a correct colour.

When the TDA9178 is used then the noise reduction is also available. The action of the noise reduction has also influence on the sharpness control. IF a noisy signal is received then the noise reduction should be high and sharpness low and also vice versa: Good picture: DNR=low; sharpness= high; Bad(noisy) picture: DNR=high; sharpness=low

RGB-dematrixing
RGB dematrixing dematrixes the -(R-Y), -(B-Y) and the Y signals into RGB signals. Contrast, saturation and brightness control are realized via I2C (for an external RGB-source brightness and contrast is also controlled).

If the beam current becomes excessive there is a possibility of CRT damage. If the voltage on pin 22 is reduced then also the contrast is decreased. The EHT-info is fed to R3331/3324. Via TS7325 a fast PWL is realized and via D6328 the average PWL because of RC-time C2322/3331. The voltage on pin 22 is also dependent of the contrast setting in the picture menu.

FBL-IN
Via the FBL-IN fast blanking signals on pin 26 of IC7150-C, both the fast blanking and the RGB source select is realized: · When FBL-IN at pin 26 is higher than 4V DC, IC7119-4C is in the OSD mode (only the FBL-IN coming from the OSD generator of the µP gives 8V DC). If pin 26 is higher than 4V DC, the RGB output pins 19-20-21 of the video controller are made high-ohmic, so RGB OSD info from the µP can be inserted. This mode is not used in A8. When FBL-IN at pin 26 is between 0V9 and 4V DC, IC7150C is in the external RGB mode. RGB from TXT or SCART can be inserted at pins 23,24,25. When FBL-IN at pin 26 is lower than 0V9 DC, IC7119-4C is in the internal RGB mode.

Transparent OSD only Europe
See diagram A7/A9 Can be achieved by controlling the peak white limit. To facilitate this the circuitry of diagram A9 is added. The fast blanking (FBL1) is fed to the collector of TS7361 to make a box with reduced contrast. To the base of the TS7361 is FBL2 fed. This makes the OSDblanking and the OSD is inserted via the RGB-lines from the µP to the RGB-inputs (23-26). In the circuit diagram A7 there is an option for soft clipper with TS7316/TS7318/TS7320. This has also effect on the PWL pin 22. If one of the voltages of the RGB-drive is too high then TS7320 conducts to reduce contrast. In this case the peak white limit via the EHT-info has less function, because the peaks are now limited by the soft clipper.

By using diodes 6300, 6301 and 6302 the RGB outputs can be switched of very fast. At switch-off these diodes will conduct so the RGB-drive is made high. In order to prevent a very bright Raster the vertical deflection is forced to the very top of the picture tube. Additionally by using this method switch off spot suppression is also achieved.

Personal notes

Cut-off control/white drive
The picture tube is continuously adjusted to prevent visible ageing of the picture tube. In this way the customer has always a perfect picture. This is so-called 'Continuous Cathode Calibration'. The function is realized by means of two-point black level stabilization. By inserting two levels for each gun and comparing the result with 2 different reference circuits the drive is controlled. With two different reference currents the influence of picture tube parameters like the spread in cut-off voltage can be eliminated. The measurement of the "high" and the "low" current of the 2point stabilization circuit is carried out in 2 consecutive fields. The leakage current is measured in each field, The maximum allowable leakage current is 100uA. The current is measured via Beam Current Information (BCI) that is fed back to pin 18 of IC7150-C. When the TV is switched-on the RGB output signals are blanked and the black current loop will try to set the right picture tube bias levels and then there is RGB-drive.

RGB amplifier
The RGB amplifier (7830) is located on the CRT-panel. This integrated RGB video amplifier has three amplifier channels inside and is intended to drive the three cathodes of the colour CRT. The main features of IC TDA6107 are : · · This amplifier is connected to 200V only because 13V reference is generated internally. Black current stabilization output is also generated internally and this signal goes directly to the BiMOS feedback input (see diagram A7). Thermal protection.
