Stand by/Start-up Operation (P/A board)
When
the TV is plugged in, the power board outputs 5V for standby power. Upon
receiving this voltage, the micro (IC8000) outputs the TV_SUB_ON command.
When the power supply receives the TV_SUB_ON signal, it outputs 2 different voltages:
P15V to the A board on pins 1, 2, and 3 of connector P2.
24V to the LED backlight power board on pins 7, 8, and 9 of connector P4. This voltage is not used at plug-in.
When the power-on button is pressed and the A board is ready to turn on the display, IC8000 of the A board outputs the Backlight-on command to LCD Module.

Start up operation _ Step 1
When
the TV is plugged in, the rectifier circuit produces a DC voltage that travels
through the PFC circuit directly to the power switches Q7301 and Q7302. A
separate DC voltage, approx. 40V, produced by D7104 and D7105 serves as
start-up voltage to pin 1 of the oscillator IC7301. When the voltage on pin 1
rises up to a predefined value, IC7301 starts to oscillate and output switching
pulses to Q7301 and Q7302. As current flows through the winding of T7301,
output voltages are generated by the transformer. One of these voltages, VCC,
is used to power pin 10 of IC7301 .
When the power supply starts up, 6V is created by D7407/C7514. This voltage goes to IC7502 which is a 5V regulator. The start command for this regulator originates at pin 3 of IC7301.
This pin is internally grounded in normal state and the information is carried to the secondary side by PC7303. Finally there is around 2.4V on pin 3 of IC7502 to start its operation. Then 5V is output at pins 1 and 2 of the IC.
This voltage (STB5V) is provided to the A board via pin 5 of connector P2.
So when the TV is plugged in, STB5V is provided to A board without an external trigger signal.

This voltage (STB5V) is provided to the A board via pin 5 of connector P2.
So when the TV is plugged in, STB5V is provided to A board without an external trigger signal.
Start up operation _ Step 2
The
STB5V from pin 5 of connector P2 is applied to the Analog ASIC (IC5000) to supply
power to the Main CPU/PEAKS LD4 (IC8000) on the A board. The Analog ASIC
(IC5000) converts the STB5V to STB3.3V and STB1.2V. These 2 voltages energize
and prepare the microprocessor (CPU) for program execution. The STB3.3V from
the Analog ASIC (IC5000) is also applied to the remote control receiver and the
power LED on the K board through pins 5 and 10 of connector A10.
Upon energizing, IC8000 automatically outputs the TV _SUB_ON command for approximately 12 seconds. This command triggers the output of the P15V source (not shown in the drawing) to the A board, but the red LED does not light.
The A board performs a self-check operation to determine its communication status. If a defect is encountered, the unit shuts down and possibly displays a blink code. If all is well, the unit goes to the standby mode.
When the power on command from the power switch, the remote control receiver or Viera Link is provided to IC8000 PEAKS LD4, the “TV_SUB_ON” command (2.4V) is output. The “command is provided to the power supply board via pin 7 of connector P2.

Start up operation _ Step 3
When
the power board receives the TV_SUB_ON signal from IC8000 via pin 7 of
connector P2, it outputs 2 different voltages:
1.P15V to the A board on pins 1, 2, and 3 of connector P2.
2.24V to the LED backlight power board on pins 7, 8, and 9 of connector P4.
This command is carried to the primary side of the power supply by PC7302. This voltage turns on the transistor Q7303 to provide a reference voltage from pin 6 to pin 5 of IC7301. Therefore the operation of IC7301 changes the switching frequency from standby state to increase the output voltages.
The TV_SUB_ON command also turns on Q7202 to provide power and turn on the PFC circuit. As a result, the PFC starts to operate and the output voltages from the transformer T7301 start to rise until the moment IC7401 starts to operate. This IC monitors the 16V output on the secondary side of the power supply. The output of IC7401 is provided to pin 4 of IC7301 by PC7301. IC7301 adjust the switching frequency by this feedback signal. The circuit is designed to maintain a stable DC output of the power supply.
The TV_SUB_ON signal also switches on the transistors Q7402 and Q7403 to output the P15V and 24V output voltages to other boards.
The 24V is provided to the LCD Module ( LED Backlight Power Supply).
The P15V is provided to the A board.
1.P15V to the A board on pins 1, 2, and 3 of connector P2.
2.24V to the LED backlight power board on pins 7, 8, and 9 of connector P4.

The P15V is provided to the A board.
Start up operation _ A board (SUB voltages)
The
P15V from the P board enters the A board via pins 1, 3 and 5 of connector A02.
It is applied to the Analog ASIC IC5000 and other ICs (Voltage regulators) to
generate the SUB-Voltages used for signal processing operation.
The SUB1.1V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V, HDMI3.3V and USB5V are created.
Each voltage regulator is activated by a DCDCEN command created from the P15V source.
So the presence of the P15V source on the A board causes each of the SUB-voltage regulator ICs to output a DC voltage.

So the presence of the P15V source on the A board causes each of the SUB-voltage regulator ICs to output a DC voltage.
Start up operation _ A board (OVP circuit)
The
Sub voltages are monitored for over-voltage condition. If any of these voltages
increases above a predetermined level, the OVP circuit will be triggered by
getting pin 7 of IC5000 to go high.
When pin 7 goes high, the TV_SUB_ON voltage connected to pin 8 is grounded. This disables the circuit that generates the P15V and 24V on the power supply.
If any abnormality occurs with P15V, the DCDCEN circuit inside IC5000 provides a DC output to turn on the switch at pin 11. This in turn disables the output of the SUB-Voltage regulator ICs (IC5400, IC5420, IC5440, IC8100 and IC8101).
When an over voltage condition is detected at plug-in the TV becomes completely disabled and the power
LED remains off.
When an over voltage condition is detected at power-on the TV becomes completely disabled and the power
LED remains on.

Start up operation _ A board (PNL,FRC voltage)
The
P15V is also used to generate the PNL-Voltage and FRC-Voltages on the A board.
IC5000 outputs the Panel VCC On2 signal. IC5300 uses this command to generate
the PNL12V.
The PNL12V is provided to the T-con circuit of the LCD Module and ICs (Voltage regulator) to produce FRC-Voltages.
After that, IC8000 outputs the BL_ON command to the LCD Module through the P board. The BL_ON command turns on the LED backlight power supply of the LCD Module. If the backlight power circuit does not work normally, the BL_SOS signal communicates this information to IC8000. At that time, IC8000 stops outputting the TV_SUB_ON signal and blinks the red power LED 1 times.

If the BL_PWM voltage is maximum in vivid picture mode, but the LED backlight brightness is still significantly darker than that of normal condition, the Panel Module is damaged.
This BL_PWM has an amplitude of 3.3V and a frequency of 120Hz.
- In standard picture mode, the average voltage of the BL_PWM signal is about 2.5V (about 80% ON, 20% OFF).
- In vivid picture mode, the BL_PWM signal has a maximum voltage of 3.3V (100% ON).
The BL_PWM voltage varies with brightness, the darker the screen, the lower the BL_PWM voltage.
If the BL_PWM voltage is maximum in vivid picture mode, but the LED backlight brightness is still significantly darker than that of normal condition, the Panel Module is damaged.
