4 Circuit Description

A. DC-DC CONVERTER AND LDO

Thisbrick converts the 12V input voltage to 5V for panel use and U9 converts the voltage from 5V to 3.3V ,U8 converts

the voltage from 5V to 2.5V for controller use.

It consists of a PWM IC (LM2596), flywheel Diode (D4), buck choke (L1), and capacitor (C68,C69).

U7 (LM2596) is a PWM generator working at 150Khz.

Self protection features include a two stage frequency reducing current limitfor the output switch and an over temperature

shutdown for complete protection under fault condition.

U8 isa low dropout voltage and fast trasient response three terminal regulator, the output voltage is2.5V fixed.

U9 isa low dropout voltage and fast trasient response three terminal regulator, the output voltage is3.3V fixed.

B. Scaling controller

The gm2121 isa graphics processing IC for Liquid CrystalDisplay(LCD) monitor at SXGA resolution . It provides a

high-speed triple-ADC andPLL,a highquality zoomandshrinkscalingengine , an on-screen display (OSD) controller,

digital color controls, an on-chip micro-controller ( OCM ) and industry standard dual four channel LVDS transmitter for

direct connect to LCD panel with LVDS interface.

The triple-ADC istoconvert RGB analog signal todigitalsignal. The gm2121 isa complete8-bitup to162MHz

(SXGA 75Hz / UXGA 60Hz) monolithic analog interface optimized for capturing RGB graphic signal, +3.3V and +2.5V

power supply is necessary.

The gm2121 scaling filter can combine it’s advanced scaling with a pixel-replication type scaling function.this is useful for

improving the sharpness and definition of graphics when scaling at high zoom factors. Gm2121 provides an 8 to 10 bit

look-up table (LUT) for each input color channel intended for Gammacorrection and to compensate for a non-linear

response of the LCD panel . A 10-bitoutput resultsin an improved color depth control. The 10-bitoutput isthen dithered

down to 8 bits( or 6 bits) per channel at the display .

C. AMP

The APA4835 is a monolithic integrated circuit , which provides DC volume control , and a stereo bridged audio power

amplifiers capableof producing 2W (2.2W) into 4Ωwithless than 10% (1.0%) THD+N. APA4835 includes a DC volume

control , stereo bridge-tied and single-ended audio power amplifiers , stereo docking outputs , and a selectablegaincontrol,

that makes it optimally fittable for notebook PC, multimedia monitors , and other portable applications.

5. Adjusting Procedure

First, power off the monitor, un-plug the AC cord and be sure the signal cable is connected(D-sub connected),

then press “2” and “Power “ key at the same time and plug the AC cord to factory.
