Working principle and general troubleshooting – Philips L05HD NTSC CRT TV


When troubleshooting the set, the defective panel requiring replacement or additional repair must be located. The Power supplies, Deflection, 1fH inputs, and Audio outputs are located on the Family board. The 2fH, CRT drive, and Deflection drive circuits are located on the Trident board.
If the set turns ON without a picture or sound, first check the power supplies located on the Family board. If the set comes ON, then shuts Off, there may be a problem with the shutdown circuits which are located on the Family board. If the picture is missing, but sound and high voltage are present, the problem may be located on the Trident panel.
TV Signal Processor
Red, Green, and Blue from the Trident IC is input on Pins 30, 31, and 32 of 7221, TV Display Processor. The RGB/YUV matrix changes the signal to a YUV signal before feeding it to a Color level control circuit. The signal is fed to the RGB insertion circuits where the OSD is inserted. The signal is then fed to a White Point and Brightness Control circuit and then to the CRT panel. The White Point and Output Amplifier have the Drive controls and Cutoff controls. Input from the ABL line on Pin 43 makes adjustments in the brightness levels to adjust for changes in beam current. The Cutoff pulses from the CRTs are fed to Pin 44 to the Cathode Calibration circuit. The Cathode Calibration circuit adjusts the cutoff levels of the CRT to maintain the correct gray scale tracking. 
When the set is first turned On, a calibration pulse is output on the RGB lines. The Cathode Calibration circuit monitors this pulse on the Cutoff line to set the Black level and the maximum drive voltage for the cathode. Once the Calibration has taken place, the Output Amplifier switches to the RGB drive signal as the output. Horizontal and Vertical Sync is fed to 7600 on Pins 23 and 24. IC 7600 processes the sync to provide the geometry for the picture. Horizontal drive is output to the sweep circuit on Pin 8. Vertical drive is output on Pins 1and 2. East West drive is output on Pin 3. Sandcastle (SCO) is output on Pin 9. Horizontal Feedback (HFB) from the sweep circuit is fed into the Phase Loop to phase correct the Horizontal drive. IC 7221 is controlled by the Hercules Processor on the Family Board via the I2C buss on Pins 10 and 11. Transistors 7226 and 7227 levels shifts the I2C buss level between 5 and 3.3 volts. Geometry and Drive settings are stored in the Memory IC located on the Family Board.
Deflection: Sync
Whatever signal is applied to the L05 chassis, it will display the picture in a 1080i format. This means that the Line or Horizontal frequency is always 33.75 kHz. The Vertical or Frame rate is 60 Hz.
Vertical Sync is output from the Trident IC 7201 on Pin 35. The signal is buffered by Transistor 7203 before being fed to the TV display processor and TV Microcontroller. In the same manner Horizontal Sync is output on Pin 34 and is buffered by Transistor 7204.
Synchronization section circuit
Deflection
Horizontal drive from 7221 is fed to Transistor 7404 located on the Family board. This drive circuit has two power sources. During startup, it is powered by the +6 volt supply. Once the High Voltage circuit is running, it is powered by Pin 9 of the IFT. 7404 drives Transformer 5402 which drives the HOT (Horizontal Output Transistor). The HOT drives the IFT and the Horizontal Deflection Coil. The IFT is powered by the VBAT (141 volt) supply.
The IFT produces High voltage, Focus voltage and G2 voltage to drive the CRT. In addition, a 200 volt supply is produced to drive the CRT panel, a +14 and -14 volt supply for the Vertical output, Filament voltage, +200 volt VideoSupply, and a +12V_lot supply.
Transistor 7408 monitors the IFT secondary to sense the presence of over voltage. If the High Voltage goes High, the voltage on Pin 6 of the IFT will go High. When the voltage on diode 6480 exceeds 15 volts, transistor 7408 will turn On. If 7408 turns On, it will turn 7407 On causing the x_ray protect line to go Low. The Processor will then shut the set down. In addition the EW_DRIVE circuit is monitored. If the EW_DRIVE fails, transistor 7406 will turn On constantly placing a dc voltage on the source. This will turn 7407 On. IC 7451 is the Vertical Output IC. It is powered by the +14 and -14 volt supply from the IFT.
The Vertical pulse is rectified by 6458, keeping the V_PROTN line High. If the vertical output should fail, the V_PROTN line will go Low. The Hercules processor will then shut the set down.
Line-Frame deflection
Set Control
The L05HD has two microprocessors, The Hercules located on the Family board and the TV Controller located on the Trident board.
The Hercules, 7200, provides control for the entire set. During standby, the Hercules and the Remote sensor are powered by the 3.3 volt supply. The customer communicates with the Hercules via the Remote sensor and Power switch located on the Front Control panel. The power supplies are switched On via the STBY-CONT and B lines. The TV Controller is reset by the C control line. The I2C bus communicates with the EEPROM 7601, Tuner 1000, TV Controller 7206, Trident 7201, A/D 7210, TV Display Processor, 7221, and HDMI panel.
Hercules Processor
Signal flow
The output of the Tuner is fed to the SAW filter, 1002, and then to 7200, Hercules, on Pins 104 and 105. The SVHS (YC) signals are combined inside 7200. IC 7200 selects between AV1, AV2, Side, and Tuner composite video. The selected composite video is output on Pin 65. Video buffered by Transistor 7211 is fed to IC 7206 located on the Trident panel which extracts Closed Caption text and Teletext information. This IC also generates the OSD (On Screen Display). Video buffered by 7212 is fed to the Trident IC which has an internal 3-D Comb Filter and A/D converter. IC 7201 rescales the picture to 1080i.
Component video is inserted into the YPbPr input located on the Family board. The HDMI panel converts the HDMI signal into an analog YPbPr format. Both of these signals are fed to the Switch, 7205 which selects between the two. The selected signal is fed to IC 7210 which performs an A/D conversion. This 24 bit signal is fed to 7201. The Scaler (Trident IC) converts the signal to a 1080i format as well as performing picture enhancement functions.
DRAM ICs 7215, 7216, 7217, and 7218 stores picture data for the Scaler as it is being processed. And internal D/A conversion circuit outputs the 1080i signal is an RGB format on Pins 27, 28 and 29. Horizontal and Vertical sync is output on Pins 34 and 35.
The RGB signal from the Scaler is fed to the TV Display Processor, 7221. RGB is output from this IC to the CRT panel. Horizontal and Vertical drive is output to the Family board.
TV Display Processor
IC 7221 is used in a large number of Philips chassis for a long period of time. RGB in inserted in Pins 30, 31, and 32. This signals are converted to a YUV format before being fed to the Color level control. RGB from 7206 is inserted on Pins 35, 36, 37, and 38. The signal then goes to a Brightness and Controls control circuit. RGB to the CRT panel is output on Pins 40, 41, and 42. During warm up, a cathode calibration signal is fed to the CRT panel on the RGB lines. This signal is then fed back to CRT panel.
RGB is fed to the CRT panel on connector 1331. The CRT panel for the L05HD has a single chip CRT drive circuit. RGB is fed to 7330 on Pins 1, 2, and 3. Signal is output to the CRT on Pins 7, 8, and 9. BC_INFO or Cutoff on Pin 5 is fed back to the TV Signal Processor on the Trident panel. The IC is powered by a 200 volt supply on Pin 6.
DC operating voltages for the CRT panel are located on connector 1351. The Filament voltage is located on Pin 2. The 200VA voltage on Pin 5 powers 7330. The VBAT voltage on Pin 3 and the +12V_LOT voltage on Pin 6 powers the SVM circuit.
SVM
There are two coils on the deflection coil in addition to the Vertical and Horizontal winding.  The SCAVEM coil (Scan Velocity Modulation) sharpens the edges between light and dark transitions.
The SVM_ROT signal drives both the SCAVEM and the Rotation coil. The SCAVEM circuit is powered by the Vbatt and +12V_LOT supplies. Capacitor 2376 blocks the dc Rotation signal to prevent it from entering the SCAVEM circuit. Capacitor 2381 blocks the higher frequency SCAVEM signal to prevent it from affecting the Rotation drive.
SVM coil and rotation circuit
Audio
All audio processing and control is performed by the Hercules IC 7200 located on the main board.
Audio is included in the HDMI bit-stream. Digital audio from 7002 is fed to IC 7011, Audio DAC. Audio from 7011 is fed to IC 7050, switch, which has only one input since the second input is not used in the HD version. The output of 7050 is fed to the Hercules IC located on the Main board. Audio for the CVI input should be inserted into AV1. Audio is output from the Hercules on Pins 68 and 69 to the Audio Amplifier, IC 7990. This is a two channel 20 watt amplifier.
Audio output
Main audio is output on Pins 68 and 69 and fed to the audio amplifier 7990. The audio amplifier is a dual 10 watt amplifier. It is powered by the +VAUDIO and -VAUDIO supplies. These are +16 and -16 volts. To mute the amplifier, the VOL_MUTE line goes Low switching transistor 7992 Off switching transistor 7991 On. The output of the amplifier is fed to the Side Jack panel.
Monitor audio is output on Pins 66 and 67 of 7200. These outputs are muted by the STBY_CONT and POWER DOWN lines. The POWER DOWN line is High during normal operation. As the set powers off, this line goes Low, switching 7993 Off. Transistor 7104 then switches On to mute the output. The STBY_CONT line goes High when the set is turned Off turning 7994 On, muting the output. Capacitor 2999 delays the turn-on of 7993 to prevent a pop in the speaker at set turn ON.

  When the set is turned On, the "B" line from the Hercules processor goes High switching 7547 which turns 7535, 7509, and 7545 On. The +3V3A, +6VA, +12VA, and +8VA supplies are then switched On. The load placed on the Aux Power supply will cause it to switch to the full power mode. At the same time, the STBY line switches Low turning the Main SMPS supply On. The supply produces a +6 volt, +140 volt, -16 volt, and +16 volt supplies.
The +Vaudio (+16 volt) supply switches on the degauss relay.
Main SMPS schematic
Auxiliary Power Supply
  IC 7510 is the heart of the Auxiliary Power supply. In the Standby mode, VIA the current sensing and Control circuits, a low power condition is detected by the IC. The IC then goes into a Burst Mode operation to reduce the power used by the circuit. In the Burst Mode, the supply will operate at approximately 25 kHz. In full power operation the frequency will be approximately 66 kHz.
  When power is first applied to the set, Start up is supplied to the IC by the internal Start-Up current through Pin 14. Startup voltage is also applied to the IC to Pin 2 by the AC_IN line which is tied to the neutral side of the AC line. During normal operation, power is supplied to the IC by the HOT windings, Pins 1 and 2, of transformer 5504. Output drive from Pin 11 is applied to the Gate of Transistor 7525. Voltage developed across the current sensing resistors in the Source of 7525 provides current sense information to the IC. When 7525 is switched Off, the voltage on Pin 1 of 5504 goes High. This winding supplies the operating voltage the power supply circuit. It also turns Transistor 7567 On causing the Gate of 7525 to stay Low as long as Pin 1 of 5504 is High. This prevents 7525 from turning On until the field of 5504 has collapsed.
Auxiliary Power Supply Schematic
  Regulation is accomplished by monitoring the +3 volt supply. This voltage is fed to Shunt regulator 7542 which controls the current through opto-isolator 7516. Shunt Regulator 7542 begins conducting when Pin 3 of the IC reaches 2.5 volts. At this point current flows through the opto-isolator, 7516. The transistor inside 7516 turns On applying a control voltage to Pin 6 of 7510. If a problem should develop in the feedback circuit causing an excessive voltage on Pin 6, Transistor 7549-2 will turn On, switching Transistor 7532 On. This will a voltage to the Demag circuit on Pin 7 causing the IC to latch Off. The IC will stay latched until power is removed and reapplied to the set.
  In the Standby mode, the "B" control line from the Hercules Processor is Low. Only the +3, +3V3, and +6 volt supplies are present. When the set is turned On, the "B" line will go High, turning Transistors 7509, 7545, and 7535 On. This will switch On the +8VA, +12VA, +8V, +3V3A, +6VA, and +5V supplies.
  In normal operation, voltage from Pin 12 of 5504 is rectified by 6540 to produce a negative voltage which prevents Transistor 7561 from turning On. If AC is removed from the set, this negative voltage will disappear. The voltage across the filter capacitors on the +3V line will turn 7561 On. The Power Down line will then go Low signaling the processor to shut the set down.
  The Main Power supply provides the VBAT (141 volt), and Audio voltage supplies. This supply is switched Off during the Standby mode. During Standby the STBY_Con line is High which turns Transistor 7573 On. This causes the opto-isolator 7513 to turn On hard. This places a higher voltage on the control Pin of IC 7511 causing the IC to shut down. The operating voltage from the Auxiliary supply keeps a small voltage on Pin 2 of 7511 to prevent it from cycling On and Off. Output from Pin 11 of 7511 drives FET 7512 which drives Transformer 5512. When Pin 2 of 5512 goes High, Transistor 7514 is switched On turning 7512 Off. This is to prevent 5512 from becoming saturated.
  When the set is turned On, the STBY_Con line goes Low switching 7573 Off. The VBAT supply is the reference voltage for regulation. Since this voltage is missing during startup, the Shunt Regulator 7571 is turned Off. The voltage on Pin 6 of 7511 goes Low, which turns the drive from the IC On. When the set is On during normal operation, the supply voltage on Pin 2 of the IC is supplied by Pin 2 of Transformer 5512. When the VBAT supply reaches the correct voltage, Pin 3 of the Shunt Regulator 7571 reaches 2.5 volts switching it On. This switches the opto-isolator On to provide a regulation feedback path.
  Transistor 6551 provides a power on ramping of the VBAT supply.

Color TV schematic Using TDA9570 – Syscon Chroma Jungle IC (My service table today)

Used ICs: TEA1533AT (SMPS controller), TF6NK90Z (SMPS switching FET), PT11400 (Remote control IC), TDA9570 (Syscon Chroma Jungle), TDA1517 (Audio output IC), LA78040 (Vertical scan output IC), BU1508DX (Horizontal scan output transistor)
This circuit have been used with many brand CTVs.  The main fault found with this circuit is the breakage of the Horizontal scan output transistor (BU15508DX).  If this transistor is found leak (Collector to Emitter), be sure to measure the frequency at pin number (30 – HOUT) of IC TDA9570H.  {If the set does not turn ON, and the main fuse on board is OK, is the symptom  of horizontal output trannsitor damage. The power LED at the front panel of the  set will flash once, and will immediately go  off - (Short circuit protection).In this case, just de-solder out the horizontal output transistor, and switch ON the set without it. The power light should turn  ON and remain lit; provided there is no fault with it's circuit.  You can measure all the SMS out  voltages now} In most cases this frequency will vary much higher than normal.  If you found this frequency to be very high (it can be measured without inserting a new horizontal transistor in place), make sure it to be under limited frequency; usually between (15500 to 17800 Hz), before replacing the horizontal output transistor, otherwise the transistor will get damaged again, as soon as you switch ON the set, not giving any chance to you checkout the fault. Check and make sure the freewheeling capacitor, that connected in between the collector of the horizontal output transistor to Ground is good. Make sure the solder terminals of this capacitor have no loose solder at all. If this capacitor (usually a 0015 to 0047MFD-2500VDC.) is not good or having a loose solder terminal, the transistor will get damaged.
  More to say, if the deflection yoke (Horizontal scan side winding) have an internal short in between its windings, this transistor will overheat in no time, and will fail.  So after replacing this transistor, check the heat of the transistor, periodically at about 2 minute’s interval.  It might get warm, but not too hot.  Feel this heat at its heat-sink.

  Another possibility is with DC output voltage from the SMPS converter.  If this voltage go beyond normal [High], the transistor will get damaged.  If you found this voltage to be abnormal, check and clear all the faults with the SMPS circuit first.
  The components used in the SMPS of this circuit are cheap and easily available at the local electronic spare part market. When work with it, just replace all the main components; (SMPS switching transistor, the opto-coupler and the control IC (TEA1533), all at the same time.
