KEY FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The resultant “burst drive” that
energizes the lamp was designed
specifically to ensure that no premature
lamp degradation occurs (See the “How
RangeMAX Works” section).
VBATT Voltage Range. The modules
convert the DC voltage from a single liion battery (3.2-4.2V) or a fixed 5V
supply directly to high-frequency, highvoltage waves required to ignite and
operate CCFL lamps.
Direct Drive Technology.
The
modules design is based on a new Direct
Drive topology, which provides a number
of cost and performance advantages.
Additional Features. Other benefits
of this new topology are fixed-frequency
operation, secondary-side strike-voltage
regulation and both open and shorted lamp
protection.

RangeMAX™ Wide Range Dimming,
Single Output Inverter. The LXMG1615
series of Direct Drive CCFL (Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter
Modules are specifically designed for
driving 8.4” and smaller LCD backlight
lamps. They also target portable displays
that rely on a single lithium-ion battery.
LXMG1615 modules provide the
designer with a vastly superior display
brightness range. This brightness range is
achievable with virtually any LCD
display.
RangeMAX™ Digital Dimming
Technique. Digital dimming provides
flicker-free brightness control in any wide
range (100:1+) dimming application.
The modules are available with a
dimming input that permits brightness
control from either a DC voltage source or
a PWM signal.

HOW THE RANGEMAX WORKS
LAMP VOLTAGE & LAMP CURRENT – BURST MODE OPERATION
Figure 1 – 50% Burst Duty Cycle
Figure 2 – 2% Burst Duty Cycle
Rather than using the traditional dimming technique of
varying lamp current magnitude to adjust light output,
RangeMAX inverters use a fixed lamp current value with a duty
cycle control method.
The lamp current burst width can be modulated from 100%
(continuous lamp current) down to a 2% duty cycle, allowing the
lamp to be dimmed to less than 1% of its full brightness.
As can be seen in Trace 4 of Figure 3 photo at right, careful
design consideration was given to controlling lamp start voltage
to softly start current flow. This eliminates current overshoot
that can result in premature cathode wear and reduce lamp life.

DESCRIPTION
VLO
Integrated brightness control circuit includes a DC
voltage to pulse width converter that minimizes system
design work and system noise susceptibility. This
provides a familiar and convenient interface while
reducing the potential for externally induced noise, which
can cause lamp flicker.
• RangeMAX inverter modules are designed to operate
with the burst frequency synchronized to the video frame
rate. This provides operation with no visible display
disturbances caused by beat frequencies between the
lamps and video frame rates. In this synchronous mode,
the inverter burst rate operates at twice the video refresh
rate, well beyond standard 50/60Hz video refresh rates
where the eye can perceive pulsing light.
• In applications with no access to a vertical sync, an
onboard oscillator operates the inverter burst rate at about
500Hz. In this non-synchronous mode, minor display
disturbances can be found under certain video conditions.
This performance may be acceptable for many
applications, but synchronization must be used when no
disturbance can be tolerated.

HOW THE RANGEMAX WORKS (CONTINUED)
•
Separate feedback loops for lamp current and open circuit
voltage regulation insure reliable strike under all operating
conditions, automatic over-voltage prevention with broken
or failed lamps, and accurate lamp current regulation.
•
A single input will accommodate negative and positive
vertical sync pulses at any pulse width.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
•
The Brightness control may be a voltage output DAC, or
other voltage source as shown in Figure 5. A 3.3V Logic
Level PWM signal from a micro-controller may also be
used as shown in Figure 5A.
• If synchronization to the video frame rate is desired,
connect the vertical sync pulse from the system video
controller to the VSYNC input.
If no video
synchronization is desired, connect VSYNC to ground.
• If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, use the
+3.3V Logic Supply pin.
• 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.
