PFC circuit of PWL3711C is fixed
frequency average current mode boost converter. PFC circuit operates in two
stages: 90Vac ～132Vac
is the low input stage for PFC output 260VDC;180Vac～ 264Vac is high input
stage for PFC output 390VDC. The shift stage is 140Vac～165Vac completed by
comparator IC10. When input commercial current in high stage, the level of pin
3 of IC10 is higher than pin2, then Q21 turns on to make sample voltage of IC1
FB(pin6) go down and make the output voltage of PFC go up to 390VDC.
The operation frequency is about
70KHz.The output current changing should follow input voltage changing to go to
pin5/pin12 of IC and the voltage entering pin6 of IC. When the inner parameters
are compared and calculated to confirm the operation duty ratio and maintain
the stabile voltage. Under the stable output power, the input voltage decrease,
minimum duty ratio of the output pulse width of IC1 larger. When input voltage
increases, the minimum duty ratio of pulse width output will decrease; vice
versa. In an output cycle, duty ratio of
IC1 pulse width output is mutative in which there is a minimum duty ratio on
the highest point of Vac.
Q1 alternating with D1 produce
output current of bridge commutating diode to flow continuously, and the angle
of flow go to 180 so that the current of AC has the same phase with voltage of
AC . The waveform is sine wave, and the power factor of system should approach
to 1.

12V Section: IC6-NCP1377
NCP1377 PWM Current-Mode Power Supply Controller
NCP1377 combines a true current mode modulator and a demagnetization detector which ensures full borderline/critical Conduction Mode in any load/line conditions together with minimum drain voltage switching. Due to its inherent skip cycle capability, the controller enters burst mode as soon as the power demand falls below a predetermined level. As this happens at low peak current, no audible noise can be heard.
The transformer core reset detection is done through an auxiliary winding which, brought via a dedicated pin, also enables fast Over Voltage Protection. Once an OVP has been detected, the IC permanently latches-off. The 1377 features a sampling time of 4.5us whereas it is 1.5us for the B
version.
The NCP1377 also features efficient protective circuitries which, in presence of an over current condition, disables the output pulse and enters a safe burst mode, trying to restart. Once the default has gone, the device auto-recovers. Finally an internal 1.0 ms soft-start eliminates the traditional startup stress.
Checking IC2 and IC6, 13V DC supply to VCC with no AC input. Test the voltage of PIN2 if the voltage is 4.2VDC or not, and test if the output pulse width decrease or not by an oscilloscope. If not, replace the IC.

Pin8 of IC6 connects R101 to
“+”end of C16 via internal 4mA constant-current source to charge C34. When
reaches about 12.5V, output of pin5 of IC6 is pulse width waveform and 4mA constant-current
sourse will shut off, then auxiliary winding of transformer T2 supplies C34. Because of PFC circuit, voltage of C16 is
constant, and the changing of duty ratio of IC6 is only with output load. At
the moment of output loads enhance, 12V drops and the current of IC8 reduces,
then level of pin12 of IC6 goes up, so largens pulse width duty ratio of IC6
and makes the turn-on time longer to make transformer transmit more energy.
Output of 12V goes up to larger turn-on current of IC8.
In fact, under output load changeless, IC6 also
performs the above adjustment, but the adjustment amplitude is slight. Output
constant voltage relies to above closed loop adjustment, so that forms output
voltage ripple form.

Voltage Regulated Circuit
Power Supply DC Output
24V/4A power supply branch: One way goes directly to primary winding passing primary winding 1-3 to pin D of Q2/ Q17; the other way passing D3 and goes directly to pin8 of IC2 connecting internal circuit of IC to pin6 to charge C21. When the voltage set point reaches 12.5V, IC2 operates normally and internal circuit latches off between pin6 and pin8, then C21 discharges through internal circuit of IC2. At the same time, output of pin5 is driving signal to Q2/Q17 which turns on, so the primary winding of T1 turns on to store the energy.
When C21 discharge to 5.6V, the discharge circuit shuts off and driving signal of pin5 latches off , so each secondary winding of T1 induces output voltage via to energy shift. At the same time, secondary winding pin6 charges C21 through L5/D7, when reaching 12.5V, pin5 of IC2 sends out drive signal to Q2 and Q17 which turns on, so primary winding of T1 turns on to enter new save energy loop process and ensure inducing constant output voltage from each secondary winding.

When output of secondary reaches
over 24V, the current of photocoupler IC3 enhances as R24 sample voltage
largens, so that photo coupler shines strongly to feedback to pin2 of IC2, the point
voltage of this pin going low. Output signal of pin5 of IC2 shuts off to adjust
duty ratio. 12V/4A power supply branch:
One way to primary winding 1-3 of T2, then to D pin of Q5; the other way via
D11 to pin8 of IC6(NCP1377), connecting internal circuit of IC6 to charge C34, when
voltage of C34 reaches 12.5V, IC6 starts up to operation, and the internal circuit
disconnects from pin6 and pin8. C21 discharges via internal circuit of IC6, and
pin5 exports drive signal to make Q5 turns on, so connects primary winding of
T2, and T2 starts saving energy. When
C21 discharges to 5.6V, the discharge circuit will shut off, and output drive
signal will stop from pin5. For energy shift, inducing output voltage produces
from each secondary winding of T2.
At the meantime, secondary winding pin6 charges C34 via D13/R37, when the voltage reaches 12.5V to drive pin5 to export drive signal, Q5 turns on and connects primary winding of T2, then renews to save energy to ensure constant inducing output voltage from each secondary winding. When output voltage of secondary winding reaches 12V, the current of passing photocoupler IC8 enhance, so the photocoupler shines strongly to feedback to pin2 of IC6, the level of this pin goes down to output signal of pin5 of IC6 shuts off to adjust duty ratio to ensure constant output voltage 12V.

Over-Current Protection
24V/4A supply power branch
The sample current passes R20 to get the sample voltage which on R17 to connect internal circuit of pin3 of IC2. When the sample current reaches a certain rated value, IC2 stops to work and protects the circuit.
12V/4A supply power branch
The sample current passes R39 to get sample voltage which is on R42 to connect internal circuit of IC6’s pin3. When the sample current reaches a certain rated value, IC6 would stop to work to protect the circuit.
OVP Circuit
12V/4A Supply Power Branch
Secondary winding pin5 of T2 connects IC6’s pin1 via R35, when testing circuit of IC6 test the voltage over the rated value, IC6’s pin5 stops to export drive signal to make Q5 shut off. When canceling the test signal, IC6’s pin5 exports drive signal again to make Q5 turn on and continue to operate
24V/6A Supply Power Branch
when the output is higher than 31V, so ZD2 and ZD3 work normally and signal 24V-OVP is high level. Q3 pinC connects to ground. The current between pin1and pin2 of IC3, so inner diode shines strongly, the current larger between pin3 and pin4. This signal is sent to pin2 of IC2 to latch off the drive signal. The power is off.When the high level signal 24V-OVP is sent to pinB of Q12, Q12 turns on to the ground. The photo coupler is shines strongly and the current of receiver increases. So the low level is sent to pin8 of IC2 to shut off the power.

Power Standby
When plug in AC commercial current, the 12V of power supply continues to operate, power supply standby circuit control is only for 24V supply.

Remote control signal connect P2’s pin1 via J2’s pin4 to passing R33 to B pin of Q4. When receives power on signal, the B pin of Q4 is low level, Q4 turns on and Q12 shuts off
Power off
When receives the
remote signal low, Q4 shuts off and Q12 turns on. Because of induction action
of photocoupler, the level of IC2’s pin2 is pulled low, so IC2 stops to operate
Power on: when receives power on high level signal, Q4 turns on and B pin of
Q12 equals to connect ground. For photocoupler doesn’t work, IC2’s pin2 releases
and this set point voltage is high level. IC2 renews to operate to export drive
signal from pin5, so the circuit exports 24V power supply.
There are two supply outputs:
+12V and + 24V by different transformer in this power supply solution. When TV
switch on, +12V output is ok to all the boards; then send standby signal to
power on, +24V output to the panel. If
HV is higher than130V, but High and Low Voltage Converter Circuit don’t work, +12V
and +24V output will be still ok.
Repairing
1 A 40W or 60W filament type (Do not use CFL or other type) bulb is necessary to be connected between the AC lines and lest the power board damaged.
The bulb will twinkle if the PWB is good. The input power is about several decades Watt. You can measure 12V and 24V can be measured when P-ON voltage is given or connected with 12V; if the bulb is lightening and no output is detected, the PWB still need further repairing.
2 Possible defective cause
a) defective Design
b) defective Material
c) Producing engineering problem: short circuit(soldering-connected, pin-shorted),open-circuit(false soldering, pin-unconnected)
3 Troubleshooting steps
a) If the fuse is OK and no output,
IC is possibly damaged or shut down under protective status. The other side, if
the fuse is broken, you should check more parts like IC, MOSFET, Diodes, Zener
