(a) Circuit operation theory: (The scaling IC used in DV172 is Genesis gm5120)
A basic operation theory for this interface board in Analog input signals processing, the scaling IC
inside A/D converter will convert analog input signals of Red, Green and Blue to 8 bits digital signals of
Red, Green and Blue, and for interface board in DVI-D(TMDS) digital input signals processing, the scaling
IC inside TMDS receiver will convert TMDS signals to 8 bits digital signals of Red, Green and Blue. Then
no matter input signals Analog or DVI-D(TMDS) format are, they have been converted to 8 bits digital Red,
Green and Blue signals, and the scaling IC inside MCU and scaling control circuit will start to do timing
signal detecting and calculating to output the proper LCD panel signals to LCD panel circuit.
The timing signal detecting function in the scaling IC is to detect whether input H-sync, V-sync or
digital pixel clock signals’ status have been changed by host PC system, then it will do short-time picture
blanking, signal processing and converting again if input signals have been changed.
The scaling IC inside OSD circuit will be programmed to an OSD menu which can be showed on the
screen to offer adjustable functions to end-users to control and adjust some picture settings by themselves.
After the scaling IC internal signal processing is done, it will output the digital RGB data, the H-sync,
V-sync, pixel clock and DE(data enable) signal to LVDS transmitter and then to LCD panel driver circuit.
There are two kinds of EEPROM used in interface board, one is 24C02 which is used to store DDC

data, we also call it, DDC IC, and another is to store OSD common data and those picture controlled and
data.
Flash-Rom is to store the source code which will be accessed by the scaling IC inside MCU to run
program.
(b) IC introduction:
1.) DDC (Display Data Channel) function: We use DDC IC to support DDC/2B function. DDC data is
stored in 24C02(EEPROM). Those data related to LCD monitor specification. PC can read them by
“SDA” and “SCL”(“DSDA” & “DSCL” for DVI-D input port) serial communication for I2C
communication for DDC2B.
2.) Gm5120 IC: There are A/DC, TMDS receiver, Scaling, OSD, MCU in the gm5120 IC. Scaling IC is
revolutionary scaling engine, capable of expanding any source resolution to a highly uniform and sharp
image or down scaling from UXGA, combined with the critically proven integrated 8 bit triple-ADC
and patented Rapid-lock digital clock recovery system. It also support detect mode and DPMS control.
Circuit Operation Theory
MCU control unit, it controls all the functions of this interface board, just like the OSD display setting,
the adjustable items, adjusted data storage, the external IIC communication, support DDC2B.
3.) EEPROM: All the adjustable data and user settings are stored in EEPROM (24C16).
4.) FLASH ROM: To store source code which will be accessed by Scaling IC inside MCU to run program.

Circuit Operation Theory
Fig. 2
(b) Rectifier and filter
AC Voltage (90-264V) is rectified and filtered by BD601, C605 (See Fig 3) and the DC Output
voltage is 1.4*(AC input). (See Fig.3)
Fig. 3
(c) Switching element and Isolation power transformer
When the Q601 turns on, energy is stored in the transformer. During Q601 turn-off period, the stored
energy is delivered to the secondary of transformer. R607, C607 and D601 is a snubber circuit. R615 is
current sense resistor to control output power. (See Fig.4)

Circuit Operation Theory
The turn-on voltage was controlled by R756 and R757.The inverter was turned on or off by the
switching transistors Q761 and Q757, Also regulator IC751 is control by Q761 and Q757 decide
supply 15V to inverter part or instead.

3.2) PWM Control circuit
Circuit Operation Theory
TL1451 is a dual PWM controller.C765 and R765 decide the working frequency.BLT_ADJ
signal is from control board, control pulse width then decide how much energy delivery to CCFL also
decide CCFL brightness. Q741 and Q742 be the buffer to rise the drive capability and the totem poles
circuit can improve a capable of driving for Q743.C770 decide the striking time delay.

3.3) Oscillator Circuit
Circuit Operation Theory
Royer circuit uses the characteristic of transformer saturation to oscillate. When the DC power inject,
Q759 or Q760 will turns on, and the current Ic increases. After a period, the transistor will leave the
saturation status and Vce increase. The result causes the voltage of primary coil get lower. Finally the
transistor turn off, and another transistor turn on. These statuses are repeated and the pin7 and pin8 of
T751 will get a Sin Wave to turn on CCFL.
C.) Control board introduction:
The main parts of the control board are a push button, and a led.
(a) Push button:
It’s a simple switch function, pressing it for “ON” to do the auto adjustment
function, releasing it for “OFF” to do nothing.
(b) Led:
It indicates the DPMS status of this LCD monitor; green light means DPMS on (Normal
operating condition). Amber light means DPMS off (Power off condition).

Alignment procedure
2. Enter factory mode (press “EXIT” & “ENTER” at the same time, then press “power” button to turn on monitor).
3. Confirm auto color balance adjustment had already been done.
4. Measure each color temperature (C1, C2 & C3) by Minolta CA-110 (or equivalent equipment).
5. Two methods can be used to adjust RED, GREEN, BLUE value of each color temperature, C1, C2 & C3 to meet
following spec requirement, the 1
adjustment, and the 2
nd
method is by manually and must be in factory mode.
Color temperature
