LX1696A ® TM Full Bridge Resonant CCFL Controller P RODUCTION D ATA S HEET KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION In addition to this protection the LX1696A provides integrated fault indicator and shutdown features necessary in automotive environments. Integration of these functions provides significant reductions in required external support components. The LX1696A regulates the CCFL brightness in three ways: analog dimming, digital dimming, or combined analog and digital dimming methods simultaneously to achieve the widest dimming range as well as optimizing the display performance in temperature extremes. The LX1696A can accept a brightness control signal that is either an analog voltage1 or a direct low frequency PWM. The LX1696A also features integrated gate drivers for the four external power MOSFETs. An integrated 4V LDO powers all internal control circuitry greatly simplifying supply voltage requirements. The LX1696A is available in a 20-Pin TSSOP in extended temperature range.

Microsemi .C OM Microsemi’s LX1696A is a full bridge resonant controller designed specifically for Automotive and high performance display applications. The Direct Drive CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) controller is optimized to provide the functions, efficiency, and safety features critical to vehicular applications while providing major advancements in overall component count and costs at the system level. Resonant full bridge topology provides near sinusoidal waveforms over a wide supply voltage range in order to maximize the life of CCFL lamps, control EMI emissions, and maximize efficiency. This new architecture also provides a wide dimming range. The LX1696A includes safety features that limit the transformer secondary voltage and protect against fault conditions which include open lamp, broken lamp, and short-circuit faults.
