Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
Is it in theory working like a power factor correction? Or simply to compensate for high current demand when needed?

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
I've seen lots of videos on iPhone repairs. But I feel a lot of the people don't have clear understanding of electronics theory and circuit operation. They're mostly checking for shorts and replacing components. I'm sure they know basic stuff but I'm trying to understand circuit operation
But yeah, most people don't know what they're doing, maybe you'd like to watch something from "Grandma" as Louis Rossmann likes to call her:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
Why would Apple use an extra inductor and diode?
One inductor is 1uH/3.6A and the other 15uH/0.72A, so a high power and low power mode.
Boost converters have high peak input currents, even if the load is small.
I would say there's no room in an iPhone for a big capacitor to absorb those spikes and they switch over to the bigger inductor to lower electrical noise.
During a call, you want a low noise on power for cell comms. Also for lowering EMI with dual-frequency or multi-phase between the two boost converter outputs. But I don't see the one inductor capable of anything but low brightness.
It also looks like they are turning off the LED boost converter during a GSM TX (packet) burst, to save available power. Long range GSM transmit power can take almost 2A.
When you say it's turning off boost during a gsm tx, does that only happen when the screen is off? If not how does the backlight stay lit if that's occurring
How does it know when to switch to the other inductor to lower noise?Last edited by caphair; 04-09-2017, 07:42 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
That's my guess but the earlier iPhone 6 screen used same size screen so my curiosity is why add the dual coils. Unless the 6s is brighter.Leave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
If I'm understanding that circuit correctly, its to eliminate any start up voltage hiccup from boosting and produce smooth output?Leave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
You can see one of the signal line has the word 'BURST', may be it has something to do with that. You also check the 'SWx' outputs to see what is going on. One inductor is rated at 3.6A, another one is rated at 0.72 A.
No luck so far for the spec sheet of the IC.Last edited by budm; 04-06-2017, 06:54 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
Oh, and this may be off topic but sometimes after I replace a screen on an iphone, the backlight flickers, even if I unplug it and plug it back in. But it always subsides over a few hours. Not sure if that has anything to do with EMI. It has happened maybe 5 or 6 times out of about 400 screens.Last edited by Hellfiya; 04-06-2017, 03:51 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
Right but why are the coils two different kinds? At first I thought two of everything for one half of the screen for maybe two led strips, but when noticed coils are different specs it got me wonderingLeave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
This artical by jessa says The backlight circuit is split into two. There are two coils, two diodes, two filters that come together to feed one LCD connector.

Could this have anything to do with having two coils?:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
If you want to really understand the circuit operation then you need to start making actual measurement to see what is going on in the circuit such as this backlights controller ICLeave a comment:

Not sure if you watch chris long videos on youtube but maybe when hes doing a live stream ask him as hes really good at answering any questions people have regarding iphone repairs etc

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
It looks like both inductors are not driven at the same time, one is when high current demand is needed and one for lower current demanded.Leave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
No data sheet available. I know it's a boost converter I'm wondering the purpose of two coils of different sizes as oppose to just oneLeave a comment:

Re: iPhone backlight circuit operation question
Boost converter for driving the LED strings..
Just look up 'BOOST CONVERTER'
Since you have the P/N of the IC (LM3539) then just look up the spec sheet to see how it works, it is LED driver LED.Last edited by budm; 04-05-2017, 09:01 PM.Leave a comment:

by gizmo1990I'm trying to fix this Canopus converter so that I can convert lots of old VHS cassettes. The problem is that it turns on for a split (and I mean split!) second, the fan jerks and then.. nothing. I've checked the power brick works. I've opened up the converter itself and been testing for shorts.
The image attached shows the on/off switch (which I've checked works) to the left of the yellow socket. Below the yellow socket is a green block marked 26 with a strange symbol at the front. Putting my probes either end of this block, on the silver parts, gives an open short... -
by triplefourthis tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even... -
by Comp_ProHello all,
Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.
Tests performed:
There is no backlight even with a good screen.
Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
Fuse F8400 ok
Current sense resistor R8400 ok
Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure... -
by redbaron1007I got a Yamaha HTR-3065 on the bench currently that's got a no power/ no standby issue.When I plug it in it draws 0.01A from the wall, the relay for the ac transformer never clicks, there are no standby lights on the front, and pressing the power button does nothing. The fuse was not blown but upon measuring the voltages on the power low voltage power supply board (labeled operation 3 pg 89 in the schematic) they do not match what the schematic says they should be.
S9 13.7V
Pwr Ry 0V
AC Det 9.1V
Mgnd 0V GND

by phuzzydayThis was my initial thread.. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...-m-at-wits-end
(All the Electrolytics are brand new.)
I started a new one, hope that's ok, because my question is different now! (Strangely enough, after I walked away for a few weeks, it stopped lighting up at all!!)
I am determined to fix this power supply because I have the skills to replace bad components, I just need to find out... - Loading...
