Grundig CUC 7303 Color CRT TV SMPS schematic - UC 3842 power control IC - power circuit description – how to enter service mode - adjustments

Power Supply - Basic Circuit
Current mode converters can exhibit sub harmonic oscillations when operating at a duty cycle greater than 50% with continuous inductor current. This instability is independent of the regulators closed loop characteristics and is caused by the simultaneous operating conditions of fixed frequency and peak current detecting.
At t0, switch conduction begins, causing the inductor current to rise at a slope of m1.This slope is a function of the input voltage divided by the inductance. At t1, the Current Sense Input reaches the threshold established by the control voltage. This causes the switch to turn off and the current to decay at a slope of m2, until the next oscillator cycle. The unstable condition can be shown if a perturbation is added to the control voltage, resulting in a small ∆l. With a fixed oscillator period, the current decay time is reduced, and the minimum current at switch turn-on (t2) is increased by ∆l + ∆l m2/m1. The minimum current at the next cycle (t3) decreases to (∆l + ∆l m2/m1) (m2/m1). This perturbation is multiplied by m2/m1 on each succeeding cycle, alternately increasing and decreasing the inductor current at switch turn-on. Several oscillator cycles may be required before the inductor current reaches zero causing the process to commence again. If m2/m1 is greater than 1, the converter will be unstable. By adding an artificial ramp that is synchronized with the PWM clock to the control voltage, the ∆l perturbation will decrease to zero on succeeding cycles. This compensating ramp (m3) must have a slope equal to or slightly greater than m2/2 for stability. With m2/2 slope compensation, the average inductor current follows the control voltage yielding true current mode operation. The compensating ramp can be derived from the oscillator and added to either the Voltage Feedback or Current Sense inputs.
Normal / Controlled Operation 
For the power supply of this TV receiver a blocking oscillator-type converter power supply with a switching frequency of 50kHz approximately is used (at normal operation and a mains voltage of 230V).
The collector contact of the power transistor T665 is connected via the primary winding 3/1 of the blocking oscillator-type transformer TR601 to the rectified mains voltage, D621…D624. At a mains voltage of 230V the voltage level present at the charging electrolytic capacitor C626 is approx. +320V.
The IC630 is responsible for driving, controlling and monitoring the bipolar power transistor T665. The supply for the control-IC is 12V and is present on Pin 7. As soon as the switch-on threshold is reached on Pin 7 via the resistor R633 and the capacitor C667, the IC feeds out a positive start pulse (1µs) of 10V pp at Pin 6. After start-up of the IC, the supply voltage is obtained via the diode D667 from the winding 5/7 of the transformer. During the conducting phase of the transistor, energy is stored in the transformer and this is transferred into the secondary winding when the transistor is switched off. The IC630 controls by the period during which the transistor T665 is switched on, the transfer of energy at Pin 6 so that the secondary voltages are stable and are largely not affected by variations of the mains supply, mains frequency and the load.
The power transistor T665 is driven by a pulse-width modulator which is triggered by an oscillator integrated in the IC. The frequency of the oscillator is determined by the components C652 and R652. For stabilization, the feedback voltage which is rectified by D654 is compared in IC630 with the 5V reference voltage provided at IC630-(8).  If the feedback voltage decreases by a small amount due to a heavier load the drive pulse to the transistor T665 is prolonged. As a result, the conducting period of T665 will be longer so that additional energy transfer will be provided to compensate for the load. Pin 3 of IC630 is a current sense input and will stop the drive to T665 at IC630-(6) in the event of excessive current drain from a heavy secondary load.
UC3842
If there was a short circuit condition at the transistor T665, the circuit UC3842 would be destroyed. Therefore, the diodes D666 and D664 are provided to avoid the voltage at pin 3 exceeding 1.2V. The components D668, C669, and R669 work as a snap stage.  The components CD654, C656, CD656, and CR656 delay the rise of the pulse start duration (soft start).  The adjustment control R654 is used to set the secondary voltages by regulating the +A voltage at minimum brightness and contrast.
Standby Mode
In normal operating mode, a voltage of approx. 10.5V is present on IC676-(1) (LM317). If the TV receiver is to be switched to standby, the µP switches UStandby to "High" level so that the level on IC676-(1) is < 0.7 V. As a result, the voltage +B is switched off and the TV receiver goes to standby.
Secondary Voltages
+A: Supply for the horizontal output stage from the winding 2/10 and D682. The power supply unit is set to this level.
+33V: The upper tuning voltage limit for the tuner is produced at the Z-diode D683 and the resistor R681 from the winding 2/10 via D682.
+M =16.5V Supply for the sound output stage from the winding 6/10 and the diode D671.
+B = 12V Power supply for the Tuner and the horizontal driver T501.
This voltage is supplied from the winding 6/10 via the diode D671 and is stabilized by the adjustment control IC676.
Switching off of the +12V supply, see "Standby Operation".
+E = 8V Power supply for the Video Processor IC150. In Standby mode it is switched off.
+H = 5V Power supply for the µP IC850, the infrared amplifier IR810, Tuner, and CIC105.
This voltage is also present in Standby mode.
Additionally necessary voltages
+D: +25V Power supply for the vertical output stage from the line transformer winding B/H via D444.
+C: 125V The power supply for the picture tube panel is obtained 190V from the line transformer winding G/H via R543 and the diode D543. 125V/14" CRT; 190V/15…21" CRT.

How to troubleshoot power supply problems – Sony EX2S/EX2WM Direct-View LCD Television Chassis: KDL46XBR10, KDL52XBR10

Power Supplies and Protection
The GB2 board receives AC input and provides a standby power source along with a switched supply to generate the necessary voltages used by the various circuits.
Since the media receiver and monitor function as separate devices, they contain their own power supplies and protection circuits. Both power supplies function in a similar manner in that standby power is generated to keep the media receiver and monitor in a “ready” state. The primary difference between the two is that the media receiver power supply also keeps the main switching supply active at all times. The monitor power supply contains an additional converter circuit to generate the necessary voltages to drive the LED back-lighting system.
Media Receiver Power
AC input is applied directly to bridge rectifier D6000 without a relay to interrupt power. The main switching supply is run constantly whenever AC power is applied, thus, providing a constant unregulated 12V source. This is necessary to provide constant power for the wireless module.
The constant unregulated 12V also provides the operating power for the standby power supply. A regulated 3.3V source is generated to provide power to the microprocessor on the BUB board along with constant power to the RF remote module.
Protection
Zener diode D6255 monitors the standby 3.3V for any over-voltage condition. Q6254, in conjunction with a current monitoring resistor monitors for excessive current levels within the standby supply circuits. If the OVP or LVP circuits are activated, Q6252 and Q6253 are turned on, creating a latch circuit. Q6250 and Q6251 function as an on/off switch to disable IC6250 in the standby supply. As long as the over current condition exists, the standby supply will remain turned off.
IC6400 functions as an AC detect circuit. If AC power is lost at the bridge rectifier or the main switching supply fails, the AC Off detect exiting at CN1003 pin 2 will go low. This is detected by TV Micro IC3002 on the BUB board. The shift registers in the CPU are cleared for a reliable re-start should the AC detect line return back to normal.
Monitor Power
 Monitor power supply located on the GD1 board used in the monitor. It is similar to power supplies found in most Sony televisions. A dedicated standby switching regulator provides power for the devices that must remain running constantly. A main switching supply is activated at turn-on along with an additional inverter to supply power for the LED back-lights.

Standby Power
When in standby mode, the main relay RY6000 is open. AC power is applied to the bridge rectifier D6002 through current limit resistor R6002.
The PFC circuit is inactive at this time so the rectified 160V is distributed to the standby, primary and LED drive power supplies. Only the standby is functional at this time.
Regulated 3.3V is provided for the QTM board via CN6253 pin 3. An unregulated 15V source (PRI_VCC) is generated on the primary side of T6200 of the standby supply. This voltage is used to provide a power source to turn on the main relay and the primary switching supply.
Primary Power
When the unit is turned on, a high command (3.3V) enters at CN6253 pin 1. This high passes through inverter Q6350, photo coupler PH6301 and inverter Q6304 to turn on switch Q6203. PRI_VCC is now available to turn on main relay RY6000, the PFC circuit and the primary power supply.
The DC voltage exiting the PFC circuit rises to approximately 390V. The primary switching supply outputs a regulated 12V and unregulated 12V for the audio circuits which is sent to the QTM board.
LED Inverter
A dedicated switching supply is used to provide variable power for the groups of series connected LED back-lights located along the lower edge of the LCD panel. This power supply is turned on by a back-light on command. Operation of this power supply is discussed by the previous post here. 
Protection
The GD1 board contains circuits to monitor temperature, voltage and current conditions. The PFC circuit is monitored for excessive temperature and voltage by IC6300. If either of these exceeds specified limits, IC6300 pulls down the power on command, causing the main relay to open along with stopping the PFC and primary supply.
If the regulated 12V source from the primary supply exceeds the specified limit (15V), the latch circuit consisting of Q6251 and Q6253 is activated.  This pulls down the power on command turning off the PFC and primary supply as described in the previous paragraph.
The regulated 12V source is monitored by the QTM board. If this voltage is lost, the unit will shut down and display groups of 5 blinks on the power/standby LED. Activation of any of the protect circuits on the GD1 board will cause this symptom.
Troubleshooting
Power supply failures occurring in the media receiver or monitor will provide a diagnostics code via the POWER/STBY LED on the affected
device. In situations where a complete power supply failure occurs there will not be a diagnostics indicator. Figure  below contains a troubleshooting flowchart to determine the cause of a No-Power condition in the media receiver of monitor.
LED Back-light Drive
In Figure, the LED back-light power supply located on the GD1 board is shown. IC6700 contains the oscillator and drive circuits for the switching transistors Q6706 and Q6707. The PFC 390V source provides drive voltage to the switching circuit. T6700 and T6701 form a dual output switching supply.
One common phase output from each transformer is tied together to form a single positive voltage. The remaining outputs are used to provide 2 negative voltage sources which are split to provide 2 sources each for a total of 4 negative supply voltages.  4 groups of series connected LED back-lights are driven from the positive side by the common +OUT voltage. Each of the 4 groups is driven by an individual –OUT voltage. The common +OUT voltage is fixed at approximately +49VDC referenced to chassis ground. The -OUT voltage level varies depending on the back-light level setting in the customer menu. The level of this voltage is controlled by the PWM_DIMMER line entering at CN6253 pin 9. The activity of this PWM line can be read with a DVM. The DC voltage level varies from approximately 2.7V at maximum back-light down to 0.34V at minimum back-light. The voltage range of the –OUT lines (referenced to chassis ground) is approximately -22VDC at minimum back-light to -45VDC at maximum level.
An additional dimming control source is available at pin 6 of CN6253. This is a DC dimming control and is primarily affected by the dynamic back-light control circuits which are monitoring relative video level of the displayed picture. The DC voltage at this line varies from 2.8V at maximum brightness to 0.96V at minimum.
Protection
The television will shut down and display a 6 blink error code on the POWER/STBY LED if the following faults occur:
Loss of PFC390 to the switching transistors (this is independentl (fused by R6705.)
 A fault in the switching supply causing it to not turn on.
 A loss of output from one or more of the –OUT lines.
 A failure of one or more back-light LED’s in one of the series strings
 Missing back-light on command.

Super Slim Design
The use of LED’s along the bottom edge of the LCD panel along with new circuit board designs and mounting allows for the creation of an exceptionally slim television. The depth of the panel varies from 15.8mm (0.622”) at the top, 40.3mm (1.59”) at the rear cover and 57.3mm (2.26”) at the bottom where the speakers are housed.
Edge LED Back-lighting
High-intensity LED’s strategically placed along the bottom edge of the LCD panel along and a wave guide diffuser plate that disperses the light to allow for a dramatic reduction of the depth of the television.

brightness to 0.96V at minimum.
Protection
The television will shut down and display a 6 blink error code on the POWER/STBY LED if the following faults occur:
Loss of PFC390 to the switching transistors (this is independently fused by R6705.)
* A fault in the switching supply causing it to not turn on.
* A loss of output from one or more of the –OUT lines.
* A failure of one or more back-light LED’s in one of the series strings
* Missing back-light on command.
Back-light Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting back-light failures is relatively straight forward for this design. The PFC voltage generated on the same GD1 board must be present. The back-light on command at pin 8 of CN6253 must go high (approx. 3.3V). The PWM and DC dimmer lines must not be zero. If all of the above criteria are met, power will be applied to the LED back-light groups. The back-light troubleshooting flowchart in Figure will assist in locating the cause of back-light issues.
With 6X Shutdown
In most cases, a fault occurring in the back-light circuits will cause a shutdown with a 6 blink error code. Determining the reason for the shutdown involves viewing the screen for any back light activity. The unit will generate 3 attempts to achieve successful back-lighting.
If no evidence of back-lighting appears on the screen, it can be assumed the inverter circuit is not starting. Verify the back-light on command is going high during the 3 attempts. If it is, the fault lies on the GD1 board. If the back-light on command does not go high, look for an open connection between the QTM and GD1 board or replace the QTM board. This  symptom is very unusual to encounter. In most cases where the back-light. on command does not go high, the back-lights will not light and the unit will not shut down. A failure outside of the GD1 board is suspect.
If the back-lights light evenly across the screen, the inverter circuit is likely shutting down due to excessive voltage or current conditions. This would require replacement of the GD1 board.
If one of the LED’s in the 4 groups fails, the unit will shut down with a 6X error. This condition will appear on the screen as a large vertical band of no back-lighting on ¼ of the screen. This symptom is quite easy to see as the unit will make 3 attempts before shutting down.
With No Shutdown
If the unit turns on with no back-lights but does not shut down, the GD1 board is the least likely component. If the DC or PWM dimmer lines fall to zero, the back-lights will not turn on. This is also true for the back-light on command. A back-light command that does not go high is usually caused by a “hung” microprocessor which has stopped during the boot routine.
Loss of PWM dimmer signal is a fault with the microprocessor. A loss of the DC dimmer voltage usually indicates a defective TCON. 
Fortunately, all of these circuits are located on the QTM board and should be remedied by the replacement of this component.
