2、Main Chip Introduction
The Media Tek MT8227 family is Rich Multimedia TV product. It consists of an ATV front-end
demodulator, a backend decoder and a TV controller and offers high integration for advanced
applications. It combines a transport de-multiplexer, a high definition video decoder, an audio
decoder, a dual-link LVDS transmitter, and an NTSC/PAL/SECAM TV decoder with a 3D comb filter
(NTSC/PAL). The MT8227 enables consumer electronics manufactures to build high quality, low cost
and feature-rich DTV.
World-Leading Audio/Video Technology: The MT8227 supports Full-HD
MPEG1/2/4/DiviX/VC1/RM[option]/H.264 video decoder standards and JPEG. The MT8227 also
supports MediaTek MDDiᵀᴹ de-interlace solution can reach very smooth picture quality for motions. A
3D comb filter added to the TV decoder recovers great details for still pictures. The special color
processing technology provides natural, deep colors and true studio quality video.Also, the MT8227
family has built-in high resolution and high-quality audio codec.
Rich Features for High Value Products: The MT8227 family enables true single-chip experience. It
integrates high-quality HDMI1.4, high speed VGA ADC, LVDS, USB2.0 receiver.

 7、Key Test point
g、Power on switch circuit(2/3)
Block B
If no power on switch circuit in PSU, the switch
circuit (Block B) is needed.

When power on, OPWRSB is set to low level： From PSU

A] Collector of Q102 is high and of Q101 is low,

the switch Q104 was turn on. (If no power on
switch circuit in PSU, R100 & R101 are NC).

Block A

Pin31 of U400

B] If there is power on switch circuit in PSU, R100 and

OPWRSB is R101 are connected, other components of Block B
Active Low are NC: Collector of Q102 is high, drive the switch in
PSU to turn on

i、System Reset Circuit(1/2)

System reset circuit is active when ORESET#=Low(＜0.3V)

1、AC power on normally：
RESET_CTRL=High, Q401 doesn’t work, MAIN_POWER rise from oV to 12V,
before the level of b pole of Q402 reaching 3.1V, Q402 doesn’t work, the levels of c
pole of Q402 and ORESET# are Low, reset function is active.

2、Enter Standby Mode：

When CPU get standby command from remote control, it sets RESET_CTRL to low
level first, Q401 is turned on and ORESET# keeps high level, then MAIN_POWER is
shutted off and enter standby mode, to avoid system reset when entering standby
mode;
3、DC power on (Press Power button on Remote control):
During system booting up, RESET_CTRL keeps low and ORESET# keeps high ; when
system booting up done, Q402 turns on and RESET_CTRL was set to high, and
ORESET# also keeps high.
4、If the PSU is unstable，MAIN_POWER may drop to a lower level sometimes，and
this reset circuit will generate a low ORESET# signal and reset the system to avoid
errors happening

1、The level of Pin27 and Pin28 should equal MAIN_POWER(24V or 12V, depends on the PSU)
2、The level of Pin1 and Pin2 should be High level，and OPCTRL2 should be Low level
