KEY FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
For applications not requiring wide
range dimming, amplitude control results
in lower ripple on the input supply and
reduced
potential
transient
noise
generation. Many STN type panels are
particularly well suited for current
amplitude dimming.
The modules convert DC voltage from
the system battery or AC adapter directly
to high frequency, high-voltage waves
required to ignite and operate CCFL
lamps.
The LXMG1644-12-61 inverter is intended for panel assemblies where lamp
pairs share close proximity with one
another and a common return (low side)
wire.
Other benefits of this new topology
are stable fixed-frequency operation,
secondary-side strike-voltage regulation
and both open/shorted lamp protection
with fault timeout.

The LXMG1644-12-61 is a Quad 6W
Output Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter
Module specifically designed for driving
LCD backlight lamps. It is ideal for
driving typical 12.1” to 18.1” TFT panels.
The modules are available with a
dimming input that permits brightness
control from either a DC voltage source or
a PWM signal or external Potentiometer.
The maximum output current is externally
programmable over a range of 10 to 16mA
in 1mA steps to allow the inverter to
properly match to a wide array of LCD
panel lamp current specifications.
LXMG1644 modules unlike the
LXMG1643 series does not provide wide
range ‘burst’ mode dimming, rather
dimming is provided by amplitude control
of the output current waveform, this limits
the potential dim range to typically less
than 5:1.

DAC or

VIN1
The brightness control may be a voltage output DAC or
other voltage source, a digital pot or 20K manual pot. The
inverter contains an internal 10K pull-up to 3V to bias the
pot, add a 1.8K to 3.9K resistor to set the lower threshold
voltage. A 3.3V Logic Level PWM signal from a microcontroller may also be used as shown in Figure 1A.
ƒ
If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect
to TTL logic signal to the SLEEP input.
ƒ
Connect VHI to high voltage wire from the lamp. Connect
VLO to the low voltage wire (wire with thinner insulation).
Never connect VLO to circuit ground as this will defeat
lamp current regulation. If both lamp wires have heavy
high voltage insulation, connect the longest wire to VLO.
This wire is typically white.
ƒ
Use the SET1 and SET2 (see Figure 2) inputs to select the
desired maximum output current. Using these two pins in
combination allows the inverter to match a wide variety of
panels from different manufactures. Generally the best
lamp lifetime correlates with driving the CCFL at the
manufactures nominal current setting. However the SET1
and SET2 inputs allow the user the flexibility to adjust the
current to the maximum allowable output current to
increase panel brightness at the expense of some reduced
lamp life.
ƒ
Although the SET pins are designed such that just leaving
them open or grounding them is all that is needed to set the
output current, they can also be actively set. Using a open
collector or open drain logic signal will allow you to
reduce the lamp current for situations where greater dim
range is required, as an example in nighttime situations. In
conjunction with a light sensor or other timer the panel
could be set to higher brightness (maximum output
current) for daytime illumination and lower brightness
(minimum or typical output current) at nighttime. Since
the dim ratio is a factor of both the burst duty cycle and the
peak output current, using this technique the effective dim
ratio can be increased greater than the burst duty cycle
alone. Conversely the SET inputs could be used to
overdrive the lamp temporarily to facilitate faster lamp
warm up at initial lamp turn on. Of course any possible
degradation on lamp life from such practices is the users
responsibility since not all lamps are designed to be
overdriven.
ƒ
The inverter has a built in fault timeout function. If the
output return is open (lamp disconnected or broken) or
shorted the inverter will attempt to strike the lamp for
several seconds. After about a second without success the
inverter will shutdown. In order to restart the inverter it is
necessary to toggle the sleep input or cycle the VIN1 input
supply. In the timeout shutdown mode input drain current
will be about 8mA.
