Standby Circuit

When AC is applied to the TV, the Standby circuit outputs 5Vdc and 12Vdc. The 5V is applied to the Power MCU and the switching transistor Q537 of the power supply circuit. The 12V is provided to the SS board. A jumper at connector SS34 of the SS board routes the 12V back into the power supply board to turn on Q537. When Q537 is on, the STB5V is output to the D and A boards. On the D board, the STB5V is applied to a 3.3V regulator (IC9011). During standby operation, this regulator is kept off to disable the panel drive circuits. The STB5V is also applied to a 3.3V regulator (IC5604) on the A board to provide the supply voltage (STB3.3V) to the Main CPU (IC1100). The STB3.3V is also applied the Remote Control receiver and the power LED on the K board. Furthermore, the STB3.3V is provided to the SD card slot (Not shown in the diagram).

When the Main CPU IC1100 receives the 3.3V, it outputs the TV_SUB_ON/TUNER_SUB_ON command to the Power MCU (IC501) located on the Power Supply board. Subsequently, the power MCU outputs the following commands:

1.Relays ON/OFF _ To turn on the circuit that activates on the AC relays. The PFC (Power Factor Control) circuit goes into operation to create the DC voltage needed to power the ACFB circuit.

2.VLOW ON/OFF _ to turn on the ACFB (Active Clamp Full Bridge) circuit to generate the 15V.

3.F_STB_ON/OFF_ to provide the command to turn on the DC-DC converter to output the F+15V.

The F+15V is applied to the 5V/9V regulator, IC3500, on the A board. The voltage outputs of IC3500 are used by various circuits on the A board. To avoid catastrophic failures, they are monitored by an SOS Detect circuit for over-voltage and over-current conditions. This SOS Detect circuit is controlled by the TUNER_SUB_ON command from the Main CPU (IC1100). The 9V from IC3500 is also applied to a 3.3V regulator (IC5600). The 5V and 9V from IC3500 and the 3.3V from IC5600 are connected to the CPU for voltage presence detection.

Generation Plasma Display Television specifications

The Panasonic Generation Plasma Display Television, a remarkable innovation in home entertainment technology, has set the standard for high-quality visual experience since its introduction. Renowned for their stunning display quality, these televisions employ advanced plasma technology to deliver vibrant colors, deep blacks, and exceptional contrast ratios. The screens are designed to produce lifelike images, available in various sizes, catering to both casual viewers and dedicated cinephiles.

One of the standout features of Panasonic’s plasma TVs is their superior color accuracy. With the ability to reproduce a wide color spectrum, these displays bring scenes to life, making colors appear more vivid and true to the original. The Real Black Drive technology enhances the display's ability to produce deeper blacks, resulting in richer image quality and an overall more immersive viewing experience, especially in dark environments.

In addition to impressive visuals, Panasonic also focuses on audio quality. Many models feature integrated sound systems that complement the stunning visuals, providing clear, balanced sound. For users looking for even more audio fidelity, the televisions are compatible with various external sound systems, enhancing the home theater experience.

The Panasonic Generation Plasma televisions are equipped with advanced connectivity options. HDMI ports, USB inputs, and built-in Wi-Fi functionality allow users to connect a wide range of devices, from gaming consoles to streaming set-top boxes, ensuring compatibility with modern technology. With smart TV capabilities, users can access streaming services, browse the internet, and enjoy a multitude of apps from the comfort of their couch.

Furthermore, energy efficiency is a key consideration in Panasonic’s design philosophy. Many models are built with energy-saving features that reduce power consumption without compromising performance, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.

Durability and reliability are also notable characteristics of Panasonic plasma TVs. Designed for extended use, their robust screens are less prone to image retention, a common concern with plasma technology. With proper care, these televisions can deliver exceptional performance for years.

In summary, the Panasonic Generation Plasma Display Television exemplifies the pinnacle of plasma technology, offering superior imaging, impressive audio capabilities, extensive connectivity, and energy efficiency. This television series remains popular among consumers seeking a premium viewing experience. The fusion of these cutting-edge technologies ensures that every movie, show, or sporting event is enjoyed to its fullest potential, marking Panasonic as a leader in the realm of home entertainment technology.
