4. Circuit Description
2.1 Switching Mode Power Supply
2.1.1 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.
2.1.2 High 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.
2.1.3 DC_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.
2.1.4 Feedback 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.
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.
2. 2 Inverter Circuit
2.2.1 Low voltage to high voltage circuit
14VDC provides the power for IC501; the control signals Brightness and ON/OFF come from I/F board.
ON/OFF signal connect to pin10 of IC501 and makes IC501 enable. Brightness signal connect to pin4 of IC501
and regulates the panel brightness, R526, R529, C505 make up a network of delaying time circuit and R523, R524
make up a divided voltage network, C504 is used to dump noise. The operation frequency is determined by the
external Resistor R522 and capacitor C529 connected to pin13 of IC501. BURST MODE regulated dimming
frequency is determined by the external resistor R527 and capacitor C506 connected to pin11 of IC501. C508 is
used for soft start and compensation, C507, C505 are used for dump noise.
The output drives, include DRV1, DRV2 (pins1,15 respectively) output square pulses to drive MOSFET U501,
U502, and each of U501, U502 , is consist of a N channel MOSFET. U501,OR U502 work as Push-Pull- topology, it
is high efficient, PWM switching.
During start up, VSEN (pin6) senses the voltage at the transformer secondary. When VSEN reaches 3.0V, the
output voltage is regulated. If no current is sensed approximately 2seconds IC501 shut off.
15
ViewSonic CorporationConfidential - Do Not Copy VA703b-3_VA703m-3
The current flowing through CCFL is sensed and regulated through sense resistor R509, R534. The feedback
voltage connected to Pin5 (ISEN), then compared with a reference voltage (1.5V) via a current amplifier, resulting in
PWM drive outputs to PUSH-PULL switches.
2.2.2 Protection circuit
Over Voltage Protection and over-current protection are monitored by the voltage on VSEN(Pin 6) During
normal operation , if a CCFL is damaged or removed ,the voltage at VSEN (Pin6) increases .Once the voltage at
VSEN exceeds 2.0V (OVPT Setting) the driver output duty cycle is regulated and the shutdown delay timer is
activated.OVPT set the overall protection threshold voltage that is lower than 3V (VSEN threshold). Once the
voltage at TIMER pin reached about 3v ,the IC will shut down and latch .R501, R503,C525,C527 are connected in
high voltage output connector, the divided AC voltage is inverted DC voltage through D503,
D504,D507,D508 ,R530 and C516are used to rectify wave & dump noise. Then the voltage signal reaches Pin6

4. Power On/Off Sequence
4.1 Hardware Power ON
When power cord is plugged into AC socket, SMPS starts work and provides U105 with VCC5V. When VCC5V
inputs, U105 resets circuit active, sets U105 all registers to preset modes, and then monitor goes into stand-by
mode. That means hardware power on has been completed.
4.2 Software Power ON/OFF
When press power key, U105 # 90 recieves low pulse,and then U105 will do the power on/off.
- If Power ON, U105 # 91(LED_Green) will send out Low potential, and then LED green on.
- If Power OFF, U105 # 91(LED_Green) will send out High potential, and then LED Off.
The Panel_Vcc, Backlight_En, CLK/DATA output to panel will follow the following sequency.
