1. Precautions and Safety Notices

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This monitor is manufactured and tested on a ground principle that a user’s safety comes first.
However, improper used or installation may cause damage to the monitor as well as to the user.

WARNINGS:

l This monitor should be operated only at the correct power sources indicated on the label on the

rear of the monitor. If you’re unsure of the power supply in you residence, consult your local
dealer or Power Company.

l Use only the special power adapter that comes with this monitor for power input.
l Do not try to repair the monitor by yourself, as it contains no user-serviceable parts. Only the

qualified technician can repair it.

l Do not remove the monitor cabinet. There are high-voltage parts inside that may cause electric

shock to human bodies.

l Stop using the monitor if the cabinet is damaged. Have it checked by a service technician.
l Put your monitor only in a lean, cool, dry environment. If it gets wet, unplug the power cable

immediately and consult your closed dealer.

l Always unplug the monitor before cleaning it. Clean the cabinet with a clean, dry cloth. Apply

non-ammonia based cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass screen.

l Do not place heavy objects on the monitor or power cord.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety visual inspections and the
protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement components
rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Before replacing any of these components read the parts list
in this manual carefully. The use of substitute replacement parts, which do not have the same
safety characteristics as specified in the parts list, may create shock, fire, or other hazards.

SERVICE NOTES

l When replacing parts or circuit boards, clamp the lead wires around terminals before soldering.
l Keep wires away from high voltage, high temperature components and sharp edges.
l Keep wires in their original position so as to reduce interference.
l Adjustment of this product please refers to the user’ manual.

4. Circuit Description

4.1 Switching Mode Power Supply

4.1.1 AC Current Input Circuit

P801 is a connector for connecting AC Power. F801 is a fuse to protect all the circuit. AC input
voltage is from 90V to 264V. R820 and R821 joined between two inputting main circuit to prevent
man from shock. L801 is used to clear up low frequency wave. C801 and C806 are used to
discharge the waves that L801 produced. High frequency waves are damped by C801 and C806.
D801 is a rectifier which composed of 4 build-in diodes, it inverts AC to DC.

4.1.2High Voltage to Low Voltage Control Circuit

C805 is used to smooth the wave from rectifier. IC802 is a highly integrated PWM controller, which
build-in a power MOSFET. When rectified DC high voltage is applied to the DRAIN pin during
start-up, the MOSFET is off initially, and the CONTROL pin capacitor is charged through a
switched high voltage current source connected internally between the DRAIN and CONTROL
pins. When the CONTROL pin voltage Vc reaches approximately 5.8V, the control circuitry is
activated and the soft-start begins. The soft-start circuit gradually increases the duty cycle of the
MOSFET from zero to the maximum value over approximately 10ms. If no external
feedback/supply current is fed into the CONTROL pin by the end of the soft-start, the high voltage
current source is turned off and the CONTROL pin will start discharging in response to the supply
current drawn by the control circuitry.
Resistor R803, R807, R824 and R825 are for line over voltage shut-down (OVP) and line
under-voltage detection (UVP).Resistors R801, R805, R822, and R823 are for external current
limit adjustment, and used to reduce the current limit externally to a value close to the operating
peak current of primary about 1.35A. The mean is power will protected when the primary current
over about 1.35A.
When PWM is turned off, the main current flow will be consumed through D804 and ZD802, This
will prevent MOSFET which built-in IC802 from being damaged under large current impulse and
voltage spike.
D806 and C815 provide internal Auxiliary current to CONTROL pin during normal operation. In
addition, error amplifier and feedback current to the CONTROL pin are for duty cycle control.

4.1.3DC_5V and DC_14V Output Circuit

For DC 5V, D805 is used to rectify the inducted current. R806 and C811 are used to store energy
when current is reversed. The parts including C812, C814, C822, C821, B801 and L803 are used
to smooth the current waves.
For DC 14V, D803 is used to rectify the inducted current. R802 and C802 are used to store energy
when current is reversed. The parts including C808, C810 and L802 are used to smooth the
current waves.

4.1.4Feedback and OVP Protect Circuit

Pin R of IC803 is supplied 2.5V stable voltage. It is connected to 5V and 14V output through R811,
R810 and R818. R811, R810 and R818 are output sampling resistor. When the sampling voltage
more than 2.5V or less than 2.5V, feedback current of IC802 will change, this can change the
voltage from transformer T801.
For 5VDC output OVP, ZD803 is a zener diode, when 5V output voltage becomes up to 5.6V, the

zener current cause R819 voltage become up to 0.7V, Q801 is triggered and OVP starts. For
12VDC output OVP, ZD804 is a Zener Diode, when 14V output voltage becomes up to 16V, the
zener current cause R819 voltage become up to 0.7V, Q801 is triggered and OVP starts. The
collector current of Q801 is used to make build-in diode light. FB Current of IC802 will be changed;
it can change the voltage from T801.
Q802, R827, R828 and ZD801 make up of dummy loading circuit. For start-up sequence, during
5V output take place high loading first, this dummy loading circuit operated to insure 14V not be
increased.

4. 2 Inverter circuit

4.2.1Low voltage to high voltage circuit

12VDC supplies the power to IC501 through F501; the control signals that BRIGHTNESS and
ON/OFF come from I/F board. ON/OFF signal connect to pin8 of IC501 and makes IC501 enabled.
BRIGHTNESS is connected to pin7 of IC501 to adjust the panel luminance. R524, R529, C505
make up of a delay-time circuit and R528, R523, R524 make up of a voltage divided circuit. C504
is used to filter the high frequency noise. The operation frequency is determined by R522 and
C529. For BURST MODE, its dimming frequency is determined by R527 and C506. C502 is used
for soft start and compensation, C502, C528 are used to filter noise.
The output drives, including NDR4, NDRV2, PDRV3, PDRV1 (pins1, 3, 15, 16 respectively),
generate a square pulses to drive MOSFET U501, U502. And U501, U502 works as full-bridge
topology, it is high efficient, zero voltage switch.
During start up, VSEN (pin9) detects the voltage at the transformer secondary. When VSEN
reaches 3.0V, the output voltage is regulated. If no current is detected for around 1.5 seconds,
IC501 will shut down.
The current flowing through CCFL is detected and regulated through sense resistor R509, R511.
The feedback voltage through R506, R507, and C508 connected to Pin11 (ISEN), and then
compared with a reference voltage (1.5V) via a current amplifier, resulting in PWM drive outputs to
full-bridge switches.

4.2.2Protection circuit

Over Voltage Protection: R501and R502 are connected in high voltage output connector, the
divided AC voltage is inverted DC voltage through D508, R505 and C507are used to rectify wave
& dump noise. Then the voltage signal reaches Pin9 VSEN of IC501, when the voltage changes,
build-in PWM of IC501 will adjust output voltage.
Open Lamp Protection: In normal operation, the resistors R510, R511, R512, R509 are sensed a
high level AC voltage, the AC signal IS1 invert DC voltage through D509, R515, C533, and the
high level DC voltage reaches the gate pin of Q502, similarly, the gate pin of Q503, Q504, Q505
has high level DC voltage. So the gate pin of Q501 has a low level voltage, and the IC501 is
normal operation. Once one of signal IS1, IS2, IS3, and IS4 is low, the voltages of Q501 gate pin
is high level, and make the voltage of ISEN low level, the IC501 will shut down.
