WARNING: The following precautions must be observed.
ALL PRODUCTS
Before any service is performed on the chassis an
isolation transformer should be inserted between the
power line and the product.
1. When replacing the chassis in the cabinet, ensure
all the protective devices are put back in place.
2. When service is required, observe the original
lead dressing. Extra precaution should be taken to
ensure correct lead dressing in any high voltage
circuitry area.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in
HITACHI products have special safety related
characteristics. These characteristics are often not
evident from visual inspection, nor can the
protection afforded by them necessarily be
obtained by using replacement components rated
for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement
parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified by marking with a
! on the schematics and the replacement parts
list.
The use of a substitute replacement component
that does not have the same safety characteristics
as the HITACHI recommended replacement one,
shown in the parts list, may create electrical
shock, fire, X-radiation, or other hazards.
4. Always replace original spacers and maintain lead
lengths. Furthermore, where a short circuit has
occurred, replace those components that indicate
evidence of overheating.
5. Insulation resistance should not be less than 2M
ohms at 500V DC between the main poles and
any accessible metal parts.
6. No flashover or breakdown should occur during
the dielectric strength test, applying 3kV AC or
4.25kV DC for two seconds between the main
poles and accessible metal parts.
7. Before returning a serviced product to the
customer, the service technician must thoroughly
test the unit to be certain that it is completely safe
to operate without danger of electrical shock. The
service technician must make sure that no
protective device built into the instrument by the
manufacturer has become defective, or
inadvertently damaged during servicing.
CE MARK
1. HITACHI products may contain the CE mark on
the rating plate indicating that the product
contains parts that have been specifically
approved to provide electromagnetic
compatibility to designated levels.
2. When replacing any part in this product, please
use only the correct part itemised in the parts list
to ensure this standard is maintained, and take
care to replace lead dressing to its original state,
as this can have a bearing on the electromagnetic
radiation/immunity.
PICTURE TUBE
1. The line output stage can develop voltages in
excess of 25kV; if the E.H.T. cap is required to be
removed, discharge the anode to chassis via a
high value resistor, prior to its removal from the
picture tube.
2. High voltage should always be kept at the rated
value of the chassis and no higher. Operating at
higher voltages may cause a failure of the picture
tube or high voltage supply, and also, under
certain circumstances could produce X-radiation
levels moderately in excess of design levels. The
high voltage must not, under any circumstances,
exceed 29kV on the chassis (except for projection
Televisions).
3. The primary source of X-radiation in the product
is the picture tube. The picture tube utilised for
the above mentioned function in this chassis is
specially constructed to limit X-radiation. For
continued X-radiation protection, replace tube
with the same type as the original HITACHI
approved type
4. Keep the picture tube away from the body while
handling. Do not install, remove, or handle the
picture tube in any manner unless shatterproof
goggles are worn. People not so equipped should
be kept away while picture tubes are handled
LASERS
If the product contains a laser avoid direct exposure to
the beam when the cover is open or when interlocks are
defeated or have failed.

6. Electronic Circuit Description
The block diagram of CML155XW LCD monitor is shown in Appendix A.
6.1 Main Board Circuit
The circuit diagrams of main board are shown in Appendix B and the circuit diagrams of
audio board, keyboard and inverter are shown in Appendix C, D and E, respectively.
(1) Analog Interface
Refer to circuit diagram titled ‘Input Connector’ in Appendix B.
I. The analog R, G, B video input signals are supplied through the cable which is
terminated at P009 (i.e. CONNECTOR DB15). These input signals are approximately
0.7VPP in amplitude.
These and other signals which terminated at P009 are protected by D010~D015 (i.e.
HSK120) from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
These R, G, B video signals are AC coupled via 0.01uF capacitors C244, C233 and
C226 and buffered via 100 ohm resisters R076, R069 and R067, and then fed into
I011:1 (i.e. GM5020) at pin E1, pin D2 and pin C1 respectively.
These analog R, G and B video signals are converted to their digital forms in I011:1.
II. The HSYNC and VSYNC signals are of TTL level in amplitude and also protected by
D016~D019 (i.e. HSK120). The protected version of these two signals are buffered via
I021 (i.e. 74HCT14D) and then fed into I011:1 at pin L2 and pin K1.
III. The signals terminated at P009 pin 12 and pin 15 are protected by D006~D009
(i.e. HSK120) and then connected to I014 (i.e. 24WC02).
I014 stores the EDID data that serves for the purpose of plug-and-play (P&P)
functionality.
The supply voltage of I014 (i.e., VCC at pin 8) is either from P009 pin 9 while
CML155XW V is powered off (the power plug of AC adapter is completely
disconnected from the power jack of CML155XW V) or from 5V source.
(2) Digital Interface
Refer to circuit diagram titled ‘Input Connector’ in Appendix B.
I. The TMDS LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal) input data pairs of digital R, G,
and B signals are supplied through the cable which is terminated at P008 (i.e. 74320-
4004) pin 18, 17, pin 10, 9 and pin 2, 1. and they are fed into I011:1 at pin C8, D8,
pin C9, D9, and pin C10, D10 respectively.
II. Also there is a pair of LVDS clock signals from pin 23 and 24 at P008 and fed into
I011:1 at pin C6 and D6.
III. The signals DDC/SCL and DDC/SDA terminated at P008 pin 6 and pin 7 are connected
to I013 (i.e. 24WC02). I013 stores the EDID data that serves
HITACHI CML155XW LCD Monitor Service Manual (v1.0)17
for the purpose of plug-and-play (P&P) functionality. The power supply of I013 is
from pin 14 (labeled DDC+5VDC) of P008.
(3) Memory Interface
Refer to circuit diagram titled ‘Frame Store’ in Appendix B.
There are three SDRAMs I015, I017, and I018 which provide the functionality of frame-
rate conversion..
(4) Output Interface
Refer to circuit diagram titled ‘OUTPUT INTERFACE ’) in Appendix B
There are 8-bit even and 8-bit odd signals for each R, G, B channels from I011:2 (i.e.
GM5020) that totally 48-bit data are fed into P010 and P011 via resistor buffers. Also
there are another 4 control signals that are fed into P010: CLK, DE, VS and HS (at pin 44,
42, 40, and 38 of P010 respectively).
(5) Microcontroller
Refer to circuit diagram titled ‘Host’ in Appendix B.
I. The Microcontroller I006 (TS87C51RD2-MCB) is running with the clock based on
20MHz crystal X001. Pin 35 of I006 (/EA1) is pulled-up to +5 volt via resistor to force
I006 read/write memory internally. It is important that pin 35 of I006 shall be so
pulled up for its proper operation and I002 (i.e. HT7044A provide reset signal for I006
reset signal for I006.
There is an interrupt signal comes from I011:5 pin R3 (IRQn) and is fed in to pin 14
of I006 (INT0).
The signal designated VGA_CON (pin R4 of I011:5) is used for the determination of
whether the analog signal video cable is connected to P009 or not. And the signal
designated DVI_CON (pin L1 of I011:5) is used for the determination of whether the
digital video signal cable is connected to P008 or not.
The signals designated HDATA0~HDATA3, HCLK and HFSn (between pin 2 ~ 7 of
I006 and pin R2, R1, P4, P3, P1 and P2 of I011:5) are used for the command and
data transfer between these two ICs.
The signal from pin 17 (P3.5) of I006 is the control signal for I003 (24LC16B ). And
the signal between pin 16 (P3.4) of I006 and pin 5 (SDA) of I003 is a bi-directional
data channel.
The signals designated KEY UP, KEY DOWN, KEY SEL, KEY ON/OFF between
I006 and P006 serve as user key command scan and sense. P0.6 and P0.7 of I006
controls the conduction and cut-off of transistors Q003 and Q002 to light the LEDs.
The signals designated VOLUME, AUDIO MUTE, and AUDIO SELECT between
I006 and P004 are used for audio board control.
The signal designated VOLUME_PWM is used for the volume of audio control. The
1
“/EA” means EA signal is active “low”.
HITACHI CML155XW LCD Monitor Service Manual (v1.0)18
BKLT_PWM is used as backlight brightness control. BKLT_EN controls the
backlight’s on/off. And LCD_ON/OFF is used for turning on or off the LCD panel.
