Only
new
(not recently published) circuits are described here.
As this chassis does not contain any really new circuits, use the
FTP2.2x manual for the circuit descriptions.
9.1
Introduction
This chassis contains, compared to its predecessor, the
following
new/changed
features/components:
•
Small Signal Board
(SSB). Small layout changes and new
software to support the 720p feature.
•
Dual Ambient Light inverter panels
: To reduce the heat
dissipation and improve the efficiency, two separate CCFL
inverter panels are introduced in some models.
The chassis consists of a full sized SSB, a Power Supply, and
some smaller PWBs for Audio, I/O, and Control functions. The
main functionalities are:
•
Power Supply
:
–
For
FHP
displays, this is an LLC power supply, based
on the one used in the earlier plasma monitors (FMxx
chassis). This supply (single sided) is built up very
conventional, with hardly any surface mounted
components on the copper side.
–
For
SDI
displays, this is a "black box" for Service
(board/module swap).
•
SSB
: Core TV functionalities, being TXT/control, video and
audio decoding, feature box, video featuring, and sync/
geometry control. The SSB is a high tech module (four
layer, 2 sides reflow technology, full SMC) with very high
component density and full shielding for EMC-reasons.
Despite this, it is designed in such a way, that repair on
component level is possible. To achieve this, attention was
paid to:
–
Clearance around surface mounted ICs (for replacing).
–
Detailed diagnostics and fault finding is possible via
ComPair.
–
Software upgrading (only for main software) is possible
via ComPair.
