the necessary level shifting. IC73 includes internal charge pumps to convert CMOS logic level inputs
to +/-5V RS232 level outputs and +/-25V tolerant RS232 inputs to CMOS logic level outputs. Maximum
rated speed is 300kb/sec.
JK73 is a dual mono 3.5mm jack socket providing two +12V trigger outputs Z_1 and Z_2. The series pass
transistors Q712/715 are pnp T0-92 types with emitters referred to the +12V rail via the paralleled 4.7R
resistors R714/715 and R711/712. In conjunction with the pairs of diodes D711/712 and D714/715 this
provides current limiting at approximately 200mA if the trigger outputs are inadvertently shorted to
ground.
JK72 is a dual 3.5mm mono jack socket providing inputs for two modulated infra-red remote control
signals. These are connected to the opto-isolators IC72 and IC71. Note the use of the standby power
supply ST+5V for the subsequent logic.
AVR400 HDMI Input/Output Board
The HDMI Board is described on pages 6 – 10 of the schematics diagrams. Note that it has components
tted to both sides of the PCB. HDMI stands for High Denition Multimedia Interface. The AVR400’s
system supports certain parts of the HDMI 1.4a specication (3D video compatibility and Audio Return
Channel)
The HDMI Board has 5 type A HDMI input sockets and one type A HDMI output socket, which are ush
with the back panel. It gets its power via the hard wired connector and ribbon cable CN61 and com-
municates with the Input Board via two ex foil cables attached to connectors CN104 (17 ways) and
CN105 (19 ways). It is tted with a 30 way socket BN301 which attaches to a daughter board handling all
analogue video I/O signals (the Analogue Video Board).
The HDMI Board contains 10 separately regulated local power supplies, mostly derived from the
unregulated but hum ltered +15V supply on the Power Supply Board. This is input on pins 3 and 4 of
the hard wired connector CN61 for +15V and pins 5, 6 and 7 for the ground returns. Pins 1 and 2 are not
used. See page 10 of the schematic diagram for all but the last of these supplies, as described below.
IC923, IC927 and IC930 are all Sanken SI-8005Q 3.5 Amps step-down switching regulators operating at
500kHz +/-10% and drawing power from the +15V line. They are used to generate +3.3VDD, +1.8VDD
and +1.8VH1 (video processor supply) respectively. The potential dividers in their outputs (R839+R844/
R847, R838+852/R851 and R841+843/840) are used to set the required voltages.
All other local power supplies use linear SM 3-terminal regulators.
IC922 and IC929 provide +2.5VH1 and +2.5VH2 for the two DDR memory chips supporting the video
processor. The source supply is +3.3VDD.
IC925 is a KIA7809 generating +8VA from the system’s +15VA line (NOT the unregulated +15V used
elsewhere on the board). This is further dropped to +5VA by IC924, a KIA1117S50. Inductor L860 provides
decoupling for the +5VH1 line. The video processor digital power supply lines +3.3VH1, +3.3VH2 and
+1.8VH2 are sourced from the +3.3VDD and +1.8VDD lines via L-C decoupling.
The video ADC’s analogue supplies, +3.3VA and +1.8VA, are generated from the +5VA line via IC926
(NJM2845DL133) and IC928 (NJM2845L118) respectively.
The 10
th
regulator, IC917, an NJU7754 found on sheet 9 of the schematic, is used to provide +5V to the
HDMI output socket. It is enabled via SW_P+5V and derives its input from the +8VA supply described
