ACFB (Active Clamp Full Bridge Switching) Circuit

The PFC 395VDC is applied to the switching circuit (Q408, Q409, Q412, and Q413). The operation of this switching circuit is controlled by the transformer T402 which is driven by the V-low power control IC, IC520.

1.A “high” from pin 15 of IC501 is used to turn on the power control IC (IC520) to energize the primary of transformer T402 and allow the switching circuit to drive transformer T404.

2.The secondary circuit of transformer T404 outputs the Vsus, Vda, and 15V voltage sources.

3.The 15V is applied to the DC-DC converter (Q556). The output of Q556 is controlled by pin 4.

4.Pin 18 goes low to turn off Q524. When Q524 is off, 22V is applied to pin 4 of Q556 turning it on. At this time pins 1, 2, and 3 of Q556 output the F_STB15V.

5.The F_STB15V is applied to pins 7, 8, and 9 of connector P6.

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.
