Panasonic ideas for life

Power Supply/Signal Process/Panel Drive Circuit

The PDP TV consists of several circuits.

The Power Supply:

This circuit provides the voltages necessary to drive all the circuits in the TV.

Signal Processing/CPU:

This circuit is designed to perform all the functions necessary to process any input signal.

The CPU provides commands to turn on the TV. It communicates with other components on the TV via the bus line. It also provides protection by monitoring the supply voltages for abnormalities.

Panel Drive Circuit:

This circuit provides the control drive pulses to the drive circuit boards to drive the panel.

Power Supply (Standby) TH-42PX80U-TH50PX80U

Panasonic ideas for life

Standby Operation

When the TV is plugged in: AC is applied to the standby circuit in the power supply to produce STB12V and STB5V. The STB12V is routed thru the SS board and it’s returned back to the P board to turn on a

switching circuit that outputs the STB5V. If the STB5V is missing, the TV is dead (No power) The STB5V is output from the P board at pin 5 of connector P7 and it is applied to pin 5 of

connector A7 on the A board. The STB5V is applied to a 3.3V regulator to power the Main CPU (IC1100) on the A board. When the Main CPU (IC1100) receives 3.3V, it outputs a temporary 2.7V/3.2V command that

is provided to pin 6 of connector P7 on the P board. The function of this command is to turn on the circuit that generates the “F+15V” in the P board.

The P board outputs the F+15V to pins 7, 8, and 9 of connector A7 in the A board. This voltage is applied to a regulator circuit that generates: SUB9V, SUB5V, and SUB3.V. If any of these voltages (F+15V, SUB9V, SUB5V, and SUB3.3V) are missing, the TV shuts down and the power LED blinks 10 times.

Power On Operation TH-42PX80U-TH50PX80U

Panasonic ideas for life

Power On Circuit Explanation

1. The power command from the power switch on the S board or the remote control receiver on the K

board is provided to the Main CPU on the A board thru connector A1. The CPU on the A board outputs the “F_STB_ON” Command and the PANEL_STB_ON” command.

2. The “F_STB_ON” command is provided to pin 6 of connector P7 of the power supply to develop the

F_STB+15V.

3. The “PANEL_STB_ON” is used to turn on the STB3.3V regulator on the A board. The output voltage is

applied to the “Panel” CPU on the A board (Formerly located in the D board).

4. When the “Panel” CPU on the A board is energized, it outputs the “PANEL_MAIN_ON” Command

(3.2V) to pin 11 of connector P25 on the P board. The PANEL MAIN ON command turns on the power supply circuit that outputs the Vsus, Vda, 15V, and 5V.

Start-up Process

Panasonic ideas for life

Start-up Process

Upon connecting the Panasonic Plasma Display Television to the AC line, the sound of relays being triggered can be heard from the Power Supply board. Also a red light from the Optical jack on the back of the TV can be observed.

Approximately 15 seconds later, the click sound from the relays can be heard again and the red LED inside the Optical jack turns off.

This condition is normal and by paying attention to this sequence of events, we can confirm the operation of several circuits inside the TV.

Start up Process Description

When the TV is plugged in: AC is applied to the power supply board (P) through connector P9. The AC is applied to the standby circuit to produce STB12V and STB5V.

The STB5V is routed thru the SS board to turn on a circuit which function is to allow the output of the STB5V through connector P7.

The STB5V is output from the P board at pin 5 of connector P7 and it is applied to pin 5 of connector A7 on the A board.

The STB5V is applied to a 3.3V regulator to power the Main CPU (IC1100) on the A board. The 3.3V becomes STB3.3V.

The STB3.3V is applied to the power LED and the remote control receiver in the K board. When the Main CPU (IC1100) receives 3.3V, it outputs a 2.7V command that is provided to the

P board and the SOS Detect circuit within the A board. This command only lasts approximately 15 seconds and it is called “F-STB-ON”. The function of this command is to turn on the circuit that generates the “F-STB-14V” in the P board.

The function of the 2.7V command applied to the SOS Detect circuit in the A board together with the STB5V, is to activate the “SOS DETECT” circuit in the A board.

The F+15V from connector P6 on the P board is applied to connector A6 in the A board. This voltage is applied to a regulator circuit that generates: SUB9V, SUB5V, and SUB3.V.
