19-2157; Rev 1; 10/02 High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers The MAX1895/MAX1995 integrated controllers are optimized to drive cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) using a synchronized full-bridge inverter architecture. Synchronized drive provides near sinusoidal waveforms over the entire input range to maximize the life of CCFLs. The controllers also operate over a wide input voltage range with high efficiency and broad dimming range. The MAX1895/MAX1995 include safety features that limit the transformer secondary voltage and protect against single-point fault conditions including lamp-out and short-circuit faults. The MAX1895/MAX1995 regulate the CCFL brightness in three ways: linearly controlling the lamp current, digital pulse-width modulating (DPWM) the lamp current, or using both methods simultaneously to achieve the widest dimming range (>30:1). CCFL brightness can be controlled with either an analog voltage (both MAX1895 and MAX1995) or a two-wire SMBus™ compatible interface (MAX1895 only). The MAX1895/MAX1995 directly drive the four external N-channel power MOSFETs of the full-bridge inverter. An internal 5.3V linear regulator powers the MOSFET drivers, the synchronizable DPWM oscillator, and most of the internal circuitry. The MAX1895/MAX1995 are available in the space-saving 28-pin thin QFN package and operate over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Standard Application Circuit Detailed Description The MAX1895/MAX1995 are optimized to drive coldcathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) using a synchronized full-bridge inverter architecture. The drive to the full-bridge MOSFETs is synchronized to the resonant frequency of the tank circuit so that the CCFL’s fullstrike voltage develops for all operating conditions. The synchronized architecture provides near sinusoidal drive waveforms over the entire input range to maximize the life of CCFLs. The MAX1895/MAX1995 operate over a wide input voltage range (4.6V to 28V), achieve high efficiency, and maximize dimming range. The MAX1895/MAX1995 regulate the brightness of a CCFL in 3 ways: 1) Linearly controlling the lamp current. 2) Digitally pulse-width modulating (or chopping) the lamp current (DPWM). 3) Using both methods simultaneously for widest dimming range. DPWM is implemented by pulse-width modulating the lamp current at a rate faster than the eye can detect. The MAX1895/MAX1995 include a 5.3V linear regulator to power the drivers for full-bridge switches, the synchronizable DPWM oscillator, and most of the internal circuitry. The MAX1895 is very flexible and can be controlled with an analog interface or with an SMBus interface. The MAX1995 only supports analog interface. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX1895/MAX1995 High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers VBATT VBATT NH1 ON NH2 OFF NH1 OFF NH2 ON T1 T1 C2 C2 LX1 LX1 LX2 NL1 OFF NL2 ON LX2 NL1 NL2 ON OFF (a) (c) VBATT VBATT NH1 OFF NH2 OFF NH1 OFF NH2 OFF T1 T1 C2 C2 LX1 LX2 NL1 ON LX1 NL2 ON LX2 NL1 ON NL2 ON (BODY DIODE TURNS ON FIRST) (BODY DIODE TURNS ON FIRST) (b) (d) Figure 2. Resonant Operation Resonant Operation The MAX1895/MAX1995 drive the four N-channel power MOSFETs that make up the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) full-bridge inverter as shown in Figure 1. The LX1 and LX2 switching nodes are AC coupled to the primary side of the transformer. Assume that NH1 and NL2 are turned on at the beginning of the cycle as shown in Figure 2(a). The primary current flows through MOSFET NH1, DC blocking cap C2, the primary side of transformer T1, and finally MOSFET NL2. During this interval, the primary current ramps up until the controller turns off NH1. When NH1 is off, the primary current forward biases the body diode of NL1 and brings the LX1 node down as shown in Figure 2(b). When the controller turns on NL1, its drain-tosource voltage is near zero because its forward-biased body diode clamps the drain. Since NL2 is still on, the primary current flows through NL1, C2, the primary side of T1, and finally NL2. Once the primary current drops 10 to the minimum current threshold (6mV/RDSON), the controller turns off NL2. The remaining energy in T1 charges up the LX2 node until the body diode of NH2 is forward biased. When NH2 turns on, it does so with near zero drain-to-source voltage. The primary current reverses polarity as shown in Figure 2(c), beginning a new cycle with the current flowing in the opposite direction, with NH2 and NL1 on. The primary current ramps up until the controller turns off NH2. When NH2 is off, the primary current forward biases the body diode of NL2, and brings the LX2 node down as shown in Figure 2(d). After the LX2 node goes low, the controller losslessly turns on NL2. Once the primary current drops to the minimum current threshold, the controller turns off NL1. The remaining energy charges up the LX1 node until the body diode of NH1 is forward biased. Finally, NH1 losslessly turns on, beginning a new cycle as shown in Figure 2(a). ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers AC SOURCE CP CS/(NxN) AC SOURCE CCFL 1:N LI CP RB Figure 3. Equivalent Circuit Note that switching transitions on all four power MOSFETs occur under ZVS conditions, which reduces transient power losses and EMI. The equivalent circuit of the resonant tank is shown in Figure 3. The resonant frequency is determined by the RLC resonant tank elements: CS, CP, LL, and RB. CS is the series capacitance on the primary side of the transformer. CP is the parallel cap on the transformer’s secondary. L L is the transformer secondary leakage inductance. RB is an idealized resistance which models the CCFL load in normal operation. Current and Voltage Control Loops The MAX1895/MAX1995 use a current loop and a voltage loop to control the energy applied to the CCFL. The current loop is the dominant control in setting the lamp brightness. The rectified lamp current is measured with a sense resistor in series with the CCFL. The voltage across this resistor is applied to the IFB input to regulate the average lamp current. The voltage loop controls the voltage across the lamp and is active during the beginning of DPWM on-cycles and the open-lamp fault condition. It limits the energy applied to the resonant network once the transformer secondary voltage is above the threshold of 500mV average measured at VFB. Both voltage and current circuits use transconductance-error amplifiers to compensate the loops. The voltage-error amplifier creates an error current based upon the voltage difference between VFB and the internal reference level (typically 500mV) (Figure 4). The error current is then used to charge and discharge a capacitor at the CCV output (CCCV) to create an error voltage CCCV. The current loop produces a similar signal at CCI based on the voltage difference between IFB and the dimming control signal. This signal is set by either the SMBus interface (MAX1895 only) or the analog interface (both MAX1895 and MAX1995) (see Dimming Range section). This error voltage is called VCCI. In normal operation, the current loop is in control of the regulator so long as VCCI is less than VCCV. The control signal is compared with an internal ramp signal to set the high-side switch on time (tON). When DPWM is employed, the two control loops work together to limit the transformer voltage and to allow wide dimming range with good line rejection. During the DPWM off-cycle, VCCV is set to 1.2V and the currentloop error amplifier output is high impedance. VVFB is set to 0.6V to create a soft-start at the beginning of each DPWM on-cycle in order to avoid overshoot on the transformer’s secondary. When the transconductance amplifier in the current loop is high impedance, it acts like a sample-and-hold circuit, to keep VCCI from changing during the off-cycles. This action allows the current control loop to regulate the average lamp current. See the Current Sense Resistor and the Voltage Sense Capacitors sections for information regarding setting the current- and voltage-loop thresholds. Startup Operation during startup differs from the steady-state condition described in the current and voltage loop section. Upon power-up, VCCI slowly rises, increasing the duty cycle, which provides soft-start. During this time, VCCV, which is the faster control loop, is limited to 150mV above VCCI. Once the secondary voltage reaches the strike voltage, the lamp current begins to increase. When the lamp current reaches the regulation point, VCCI exceeds VCCV and it reaches steady state. With MINDAC = VCC, DPWM is disabled and the current loop remains in control regulating the lamp current. Feed-Forward Control The MAX1895/MAX1995 have a feed-forward control circuit, which influences both control loops. Feed-forward control instantly adjusts the tON time to changes in input voltage. This feature provides immunity to changes in input voltage at all brightness levels and makes compensation over wide input ranges easier. The feed-forward circuit improves line regulation for short DPWM on times and makes startup transients less dependent on input voltage. Feed-forward control is implemented by varying the internal voltage ramp rate. This has the effect of varying tON as a function of input voltage while maintaining about the same signal levels at VCCI and VCCV. Since the required voltage change across the compensation capacitors is minimal, the controller’s response to change in VBATT is essentially instantaneous. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX1895/MAX1995 CS MAX1895/MAX1995 High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers REFERENCE INPUT CRF/SDA LAMP CURRENT AND DPWM CONTROL MINDAC CTL/SCL SMBus CONTROL INPUT BATT MODE DPWM OSC VCC DPWM COMP SUPPLY REF SH/SUS MINDAC = VCC Y = 1, N =0 GND 0.15V CCV BST1 0.5V PWM COMP GH1 GMV VFB LX1 CCV CLAMP RAMP GENERATOR PEAK DETECTOR GMI IFB CONTROL LOGIC PK_DET CLAMP GH2 IMIN COMP LX2 4mV LX2 LX1 BST2 CCFL CCI GL1 MUX VDD REF GL2 ILMIT IMAX COMP GND MAX1895 MAX1995 PGND Figure 4. Functional Diagram Transient Overvoltage Protection from Dropout The MAX1895/MAX1995 are designed to maintain tight control of the transformer secondary under all transient conditions including dropout. To maximize run time, it is desirable to allow the circuit to operate in dropout at extremely low battery voltages where the backlight’s performance is not critical. When VBATT is very low, the controller can lose regulation and run at maximum duty cycle. Under these circumstances, a transient overvoltage condition could occur when the AC adapter is suddenly applied to power the circuit. But the feed-forward circuitry minimizes variations in lamp voltage due to such input voltage steps. The regulator also clamps the voltage on VCCI. Both features ensure that overvoltage 12 transients do not appear on the transformer when leaving dropout. The VCCI clamp is unique in that it limits at the peaks of the voltage-ramp generator. As the circuit reaches dropout, VCCI approaches the peaks of the ramp generator in order to reach maximum t ON . If V BATT decreases further, the control loop loses regulation and VCCI tries to reach its positive supply rail. The clamp on VCCI prevents this from happening and VCCI rides just above the peaks of the PWM ramp. If VBATT continues to decrease, the feed-forward PWM ramp generator loses amplitude and the clamp drags VCCI down with it to a voltage below where VCCI would have been if the circuit were not in dropout. When VBATT suddenly steps out of dropout, VCCI is still low and maintains the drive on the transformer at the old dropout level.

Interface Selection Table 1 describes the functionality of SH/SUS, CRF/ SDA, and CTL/SCL in each of the MAX1895’s three interface modes. The MAX1895 features both an SMBus Digital Interface and an Analog Interface. Note that the MODE signal can also synchronize the DPWM frequency. (See Synchronizing the DPWM Frequency.) Dimming Range The brightness is controlled by either the Analog Interface (for both MAX1895 and MAX1995, see Analog Interface section) or the SMBus Interface (for MAX1895 only, see SMBus Interface section). The brightness of the CCFL is adjusted in the following three ways: 1) Lamp-current control, where the magnitude of the average lamp current is adjusted. 2) DPWM control, where the average lamp current is pulsed to the set level with a variable duty cycle. 3) The combination of the first two methods. In each of the three methods, a 5-bit brightness code is generated from the selected interface and is used to set the lamp current and/or DPWM duty cycle. The 5-bit brightness code defines the lamp current level with 00000\b representing minimum lamp current and 11111\b representing maximum lamp current. The average lamp current is measured across an external sense resistor (see Current-Sense Resistor section). The voltage on the sense resistor is measured at IFB. The brightness code adjusts the regulation voltage at IFB (VIFB). The minimum average VIFB is VMINDAC/5 (VMINDAC = 0~2V) and the maximum average is set by the following formula: VIFB = VREF ✕ 31/160 +VMINDAC /160 which is between 387.5mV and 400mV. Reference input for maximum If VIFB does not exceed 150mV peak (which is about 47.7mV/R1 RMS lamp current) for greater than 2s, the MAX1895/MAX1995 assumes a lamp-out condition and shuts down (see Lamp-Out Detection section). The equation relating brightness code to IFB regulation voltage is: VIFB = VREF ✕ n/160 + VMINDAC ✕ (32 - n)/160 where n is the brightness code. To always use maximum average lamp current when using DPWM control, set VMINDAC to VREF. DPWM control works similarly to lamp-current control as it also responds to the 5-bit brightness code. A brightness code of 00000\b corresponds to a 9% DPWM duty cycle and a brightness code of 11111\b corresponds to a 100% DPWM duty cycle. The duty cycle changes by 3.125% per step, but codes 00000\b to 00011\b all produce 9% (Figure 5). To disable DPWM and always use 100% duty cycle, set VMINDAC to VCC. Note that with DPWM disabled, the equations shown above should assume VMINDAC = 0 instead of VMINDAC = VCC. Table 2 describes MINDAC’s functionality and Table 3 shows some typical settings for the brightness adjustment. In normal operation, VMINDAC is set between 0 and VREF and the MAX1895/MAX1995 use both lamp-current control and DPWM control to vary the lamp brightness. In this mode, lamp-current control regulates the average lamp current during a DPWM on-cycle. Analog Interface and Brightness Code The MAX1895/MAX1995’s analog interface uses an internal ADC with 1-bit hysteresis to generate the brightness code used to dim the lamp (see Dimming Range section). CTL/SCL is the ADC’s input and CRF/SDA is its reference voltage. The ADC can operate in either positive-scale ADC mode or negative-scale ADC mode. In positive-scale ADC mode, the brightness code increases from 0 to 31 as VCTL increases from 0 to VCRF.

The analog interface’s internal ADC uses 1-bit hysteresis to keep the lamp from flickering between two codes. 14 V CTL ’s positive threshold (V CTL(TH) ) is the voltage required to transition the brightness code as V CTL increases and can be calculated as follows: ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers VCTL’s negative threshold is the voltage required to transition the brightness code as VCTL decreases and can be calculated as follows: VCCA CONVENTIONAL INTERFACE MAX1895/MAX1995 VCTL(TH) = (n + 2)/33 VCRF (Positive-Scale ADC mode, MODE = GND) VCTL(TH) = (33 - n)/33 VCRF (Negative-Scale ADC mode, MODE = REF) VCCB DIMMING CONTROL CIRCUIT MIN.

Analog Interface for Dimming the MAX1895/MAX1995’s analog interface are illustrated in Figure 8. The analog interface is very simple in that the output voltage range of the dimming control circuit matches the input voltage range of the inverter control IC. With this method it is possible to guarantee the maximum dimming range (Figure 9). For the conventional interface, the control voltage and the input voltage have different ranges. To avoid nonuniform lighting across the CCFL tube, or the “thermometer effect”, the lower limits of maximum and minimum control voltages have to be above the upper limits of the maximum and minimum input voltages, respectively. Therefore, the useful dimming range is reduced. For the MAX1895/MAX1995’s analog interface, the control voltage has the same range as the input voltage, so the useful dimming range is maximized.

The amplitude of the AC signal must be at least 2V peak-to-peak but no greater than 5V peak-to-peak for accurate operation. The transition time of the AC signal should be less than 200µs.

See Loop Compensation for more information concerning high DPWM frequencies. A simple oscillator circuit as shown in Figure 11 can be used to generate the synchronization signal. The core of the oscillator is the MAX9031, which is a low-cost, single-supply comparator in a 5-pin SC70 package. The VCC and REF of the MAX1895/MAX1995 provide the supply voltage and the reference voltage for the 16 oscillator. The positive threshold of the oscillator is: VTH+ = (VCC + VREF)/2. The negative threshold is given by: VTH+ = VREF/2. The frequency of the oscillator is calculated as follows: f= 1 VTH+ (VCC − VTH− ) RCln VTH− (VCC − VTH+ ) For C = 330pF, a 13kΩ resistor generates a 100kHz signal and a 39kΩ resistor generates a 32kHz signal. ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers REF MODE VCC 100kΩ 1% ADC10kΩ 100kΩ 1% REF MAX1895 MAX1995 MAX9031 SMBus TO MODE ADC+ R 500pF GND DPWM SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL C Figure 10. DPWM Synchronization Figure 11. A Simple RC Oscillator POR and UVLO The MAX1895/MAX1995 include power-on reset (POR) and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuits. The POR resets all internal registers such as DAC output, fault conditions, and all SMBus registers. POR occurs when VCC is below 1.5V. The SMBus input-logic thresholds are only guaranteed to meet electrical characteristic limits for VCC as low as 3.5V, but the interface will continue to function down to the POR threshold. The UVLO is activated and disables both high-side and low-side switch drivers when VCC is below 4.2V (typ). Low-Power Shutdown When the MAX1895/MAX1995 are placed in shutdown, all functions of the IC are turned off except for the 5.3V linear regulator that powers all internal registers and the SMBus interface (MAX1895 only). The SMBus interface is accessible in shutdown. In shutdown, the linear regulator output voltage drops to about 4.5V and the supply current is 6µA (typ), which is the required power to maintain all internal register states. While in shutdown, lamp-out detection and short-circuit detection latches are reset. The device can be placed into shutdown by either writing to the shutdown mode register (MAX1895 SMBus mode only) or with SH/SUS. Lamp-Out Detection For safety, the MAX1895/MAX1995 monitor the lamp current to detect the open-lamp fault. When the peak voltage on IFB drops below 150mV (IFB regulation point must be set above 48mV) the lamp-out timer starts. Before the timer times out, VCCI increases the secondary voltage in an attempt to maintain lamp-current regulation. As VCCI rises, VCCV rises with it until the secondary voltage reaches its preset limit. At this point, VCCV stops and limits the secondary voltage by limiting tON. Because VCCV is limited to 150mV above VCCI the voltage control loop is able to quickly limit the secondary voltage. Without this clamping feature, the transformer voltage would overshoot to dangerous levels because VCCV would take more time to slew down from its supply rail. If the peak voltage on IFB does not rise above 150mV before timeout, the MAX1895/MAX1995 shut down the full bridge. Overcurrent Fault Detection and Protection The MAX1895/MAX1995 sense overcurrent faults on each switching cycle. The current comparator monitors the voltage drop from LX_ to GND. If the voltage exceeds the current-limit threshold, the regulator turns off the high-side switch to prevent the transformer primary current from increasing further. Applications Information The MAX1895’s standard application circuit, shown in Figure 1, regulates the current of a 4.5W CCFL. The IC’s analog voltage interface sets the lamp brightness with a greater than 30 to 1 power adjustment range. This circuit operates from a wide supply voltage range of 4.6V to 28V. Typical applications for this circuit include notebook, desktop monitor, and car navigation displays. Table 4 shows the recommended components for the power stage of the 4.5W application. To select the correct component values, several CCFL parameters (Table 6) and the DC input characteristics must be specified. MOSFETs The MAX1895/MAX1995 require four external switches NL1, NL2, NH1, and NH2 to form a full bridge to drive CCFL. The regulator senses drain-to-source voltage of NL1 and NL2 to detect the transformer primary minimum current crossing and overcurrent fault condition. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX1895/MAX1995 VL MAX1895/MAX1995 High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers Table 4.

The regulator softly turns on each of four switches in the full bridge. ZVS (zero-voltage switching) occurs when the external power MOSFETs 18 MANUFACTURER T912MG-1018 Toko www.tokoam.com are turned on while their respective drain-to-source voltages are near zero volts. ZVS effectively eliminates the MOSFET transition losses caused by CRSS (drainto-source capacitance) and parasitic capacitance discharge. ZVS improves efficiency and reduces switching-related EMI. ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers Voltage-Sense Capacitors The MAX1895/MAX1995 limit the transformer secondary voltage during open-lamp fault through the capacitive divider C3/C4. The voltage of VFB is proportional to CCFL voltage. To set the maximum RMS secondary transformer voltage, choose C3 around 10pF to 22pF, and select C4 such that C4 = VT(MAX)/1.11V x C3, where VT(MAX) is the maximum RMS secondary transformer voltage (above the strike voltage). R2 sets the VFB DC bias point to 0V. Choose R2 =10/(C4 ✕ 6.28 ✕ FSW), where FSW is the nominal resonant operating frequency. Loop Compensation CCI sets the speed of the current loop that is used during startup, maintaining lamp current regulation, and during transients caused by changing the lamp-current settling. The typical CCI capacitor value is 0.1µF. Larger values limit lamp-current overshoot, but increase setting time. Smaller values speed up its response time, but extremely small values can lead to instability. CCV sets the speed of the voltage loop that affects startup, DPWM transients and operation in an opentube fault condition. If DPWM is not used, the voltage control loop should only be active during startup or an open-lamp fault. The CCV capacitor typical value is 0.01µF. Use the smallest value of CCV capacitor necessary to set an acceptable fault-transient response and not cause excessive ringing at the beginning of a DPWM pulse. Larger CCV capacitor values reduce transient overshoot, but can degrade regulation at low DPWM duty cycles by increasing the delay to strike voltage. Resonant Components The MAX1895/MAX1995 work well with air-gap transformers with turns ratio N in the order of NP:NS = 1:90 to 1:100 for most applications. The transformer secondary resonant frequency must be controlled. A lowprofile CCFL transformer typically operates between 50kHz (Fmin) and 200kHz (Fmax). The transformer T1, the DC blocking capacitor C2, the parallel capacitor C3, and the CCFL lamp form a resonant tank. The resonant frequency is determined by the transformer secondary leakage inductance L, C2, and C3. The tank is a bandpass filter whose lower frequency is bounded by L, N, and C2. N is the transformer’s turns ratio. Choose C2 ≤ N 2 (10 ✕ F 2 MIN ✕ L). The upper frequency is bounded by L and C3. Choose C3 ≥ 1/(40 ✕ F2MIN ✕ L). Other Components The high-side MOSFET drivers (GH1 and GH2) are powered by the external bootstrap circuit formed by D2, C5 and C6. Connect BST1/BST2 through a dual signal-level Schottky diode D2 to VDD, and connect it to LX1/LX2 with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. Use a dualseries signal-level diode (D1) to generate the half-wave rectified current-sense voltage across R1. The current through these diodes is the lamp current. Dual-Lamp Regulator The MAX1895/MAX1995 can be used to drive two CCFL tubes as shown in Figure 12. See Table 5 for component selection. The circuit consists of two identical transformers with primary windings connected in parallel and secondary windings in series. The two transformers can also be replaced with a single transformer, which has one primary winding and two secondary windings. The advantage of the series secondary windings is that the same current flows through both lamps resulting in approximately the same brightness. In normal operation, C12 is charged to approximately 6V biasing N1 on, which permits current to flow in the loop as follows: in the first half-cycle, current flows through the secondary winding of T1, CCFL1, diode D1, MOSFET N1, sense resistor R1, Zener diode D4 (forward bias), CCFL2, finally returning to T2. In the second half-cycle the lamp current flows through T2, CCFL2, D4 (breakdown), D3 (forward bias), CCFL1, and back to T1. The roundabout path of current flow is necessary in order to detect an open-lamp condition when either CCFL is removed. If CCFL1 is open, the lamp current cannot flow through the sense resistor R1. When IFB drops below 150mV the controller detects the condition and shuts down after a 2s delay. During the delay current can flow from T2 through CCFL2, D4 (breakdown), and R6 back to T2. If CCFL2 is removed, the voltage across D4 drops to zero and C11 is discharged through R5. N1 is biased off which forces the voltage at IFB to drop to zero once again. During the 2s turn-off delay, current flows from T1 to CCFL1 through D3 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 19 MAX1895/MAX1995 Current-Sense Resistor The MAX1895/MAX1995 regulate the CCFL average current through the sense resistor R1 in Figure 1. The voltage at IFB is the half-wave rectified representation of the current through the lamp. The inverter regulates the average voltage at IFB, which is controlled by either the analog interface or the SMBus interface. To set the maximum lamp RMS current, determine R1 as follows: R1 = 0.444V/ICCFL, RMS, MAX, where ICCFL, RMS, MAX is the maximum RMS lamp current. MINDAC and the wave shape influence the actual maximum RMS lamp current. If necessary, use an RMS current meter to make final adjustments to R1.

The secondary voltages of both transformers are monitored through the two identical capacitive voltage dividers (C3/C4 and C13/C11). The dual diode D6 rectifies the two sensed voltages and passes the signal to the VFB pin. A full-wave rectified sinusoidal waveform appears at the VFB pin. The RMS value of this new VFB signal is greater than the half-wave rectified signal in the single-lamp application. To compensate for the waveform change and the forward voltage drop in the diodes, the capacitive voltage-divider ratio must be decreased. Choose C3 around 10pF to 22pF, and select C4 according to C4 = VT, MAX /1.33V ✕ C3, 20 where VT, MAX is the maximum transformer secondary RMS voltage. Layout Guidelines Careful PC board layout is critical to achieve low switching losses and clean, stable operation. The high voltage and switching power stages require particular attention (Figure 13). The high-voltage sections of the layout need to be well separated from the control circuit. Most layouts are constrained to long narrow PC boards, so this separation occurs naturally. Follow these guidelines for good PC board layout: 1) Keep the high-current paths short and wide, especially at the ground terminals. This is essential for stable, jitter-free operation, and high efficiency. ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers DESIGNATION DESCRIPTION RECOMMENDED DEVICE TMK325BJ475MN C1 4.7µF, 25V, X5R ceramic capacitor C2 1µF, 25V, X7R ceramic capacitor C3225X7R1E475M MANUFACTURER Taiyo Yuden www.t-yuden.com TDK www.tdk.com TMK316BJ105KL C3216X7R1E105K Taiyo Yuden TDK GHM1038-SL-150J-3K C4520C0G3F150K Murata www.murata.

CCFL Specifications SPECIFICATION CCFL Minimum Strike Voltage (“Kick-Off Voltage”) CCFL Typical Operating Voltage (“Lamp Voltage”) SYMBOL VS VL UNITS DESCRIPTION VRMS Although CCFLs typically operate at <550VRMS, a higher voltage (up to 1000VRMS and beyond) is required initially to start the tube. The strike voltage is typically higher at cold temperatures and at the end of life of the tube. VRMS Once a CCFL has been struck, the voltage is required to maintain light output falls to approximately 550VRMS. Shorter tubes may operate on as little as 250VRMS. The operating voltage of the CCFL stays relatively constant, even as the tube’s brightness is varied. CCFL Maximum Operating Current (“Lamp Current”) IL mARMS The maximum AC current through a CCFL is typically 5mARMS. DC current is not allowed through CCFLs. The maximum lamp current is set by the sense resistor, R1, and the maximum brightness setting. R1 = 2.2 ✕ VIFBMAX/ILMAX. CCFL Maximum Frequency (“Lamp Frequency”) fL kHz The maximum AC lamp-current frequency. The MAX1895/MAX1995 are designed to operate between 20kHz and 300kHz. 2) Utilize a star ground configuration for power and analog grounds. The power ground and analog ground should be completely isolated—meeting only at the center of the star. The center should be placed at the backside contact to the QFN package. Using separate copper planes for these planes may simplify this task. Quiet analog ground is used for REF, CCV, CCI, RX, and MINDAC (if a resistive voltage-divider is used). 3) Route high-speed switching nodes away from sensitive analog areas (IFB, VFB, REF, ILIM). Make all pinstrap control input connections (ILIM, etc.) to analog ground or VCC rather than power ground or VDD. 4) Mount the decoupling capacitor from VCC to GND as close as possible to the IC with dedicated traces that are not shared with other signal paths. 22 5) The current sense paths for LX1 and LX2 to GND must be made using Kelvin sense connections to guarantee the current-limit accuracy. With SO-8 MOSFETs, this is best done by routing power to the MOSFETs from outside using the top copper layer, while connecting GND and LX inside (underneath) the SO-8 package. 6) Ensure the feedback connections are short and direct. To the extent possible, IFB and VFB connections should be far away from the high voltage traces and the transformer. 7) To the extent possible, high-voltage trace clearance on the transformer’s secondary should be widely separated. The high voltage traces should also be separated from adjacent ground planes to prevent capacitive coupling losses. ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers MAX1895/MAX1995 Write-Byte Format S ADDRESS WR ACK COMMAND ACK DATA ACK 7 bits 1b 1b 8 bits 1b 8 bits 1b Slave Address Command Byte: selects which register you are writing to P Data Byte: data goes into the register set by the command byte Read-Byte Format S ADDRESS WR ACK COMMAND ACK 7 bits 1b 1b 8 bits 1b Slave Address Command Byte: selects which register you are reading from Send-Byte Format S S RD ACK DATA /// 7 bits 1b 1b 8 bits 1b Slave Address: repeated due to change in dataflow direction P Data Byte: reads from the register set by the command byte Receive-Byte Format ADDRESS WR ACK 7 bits 1b 1b COMMAND ACK 8 bits 1b P S Command Byte: sends command with no data; usually used for oneshot command S = Start condition P = Stop condition ADDRESS Shaded = Slave transmission Ack= Acknowledged = 0 /// = Not acknowledged = 1 ADDRESS RD ACK 7 bits 1b 1b Slave Address WR = Write = 0 RD = Read =1 DATA /// 8 bits 1b P Data Byte: reads data from the register commanded by the last read-byte or write-byte transmission; also used for SMBus Alert Response return address Figure 14. SMBus Protocols 8) The traces to the capacitive voltage-divider on the transformer’s secondary need to be widely separated to prevent arcing. Moving these traces to opposite sides of the board can be beneficial in some cases (Figure 13). Digital Interface With MODE connected to V CC , the CRF/SDA and CTL/SCL pins no longer behave as analog inputs; instead they function as an Intel SMBus-compatible two-wire digital interface. CRF/SDA is the bidirectional data line and CTL/SCL is the clock line of the two-wire interface corresponding respectively to SMBDATA and SMBCLK lines of the SMBus. The MAX1895 uses the Write-Byte, Read-Byte, Send-Byte, and Receive-Byte protocols (Figure 14). The SMBus protocols are documented in “System Management Bus Specification v1.08” and are available at www.sbs-forum.org. The MAX1895 is a slave-only device and responds to the 7-bit address 0b0101101 (i.e., with the RW bit clear indicating a write, this corresponds to 0x5A). The MAX1895 has three functional registers: a 5-bit bright- ness register (BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0), a 3-bit shutdown mode register (SHMD2–SHMDE0), and a 2-bit status register (STATUS1–STATUS0). In addition, the device has three identification (ID) registers: an 8-bit chip ID register, an 8-bit chip revision register, and an 8-bit manufacturer ID register. CRF/SDA and CTL/SCL pins have Schmidt-trigger inputs that can accommodate slow edges; however, the rising and falling edges should still be faster than 1µs and 300ns, respectively. Communication starts with the master signaling the beginning of a transmission with a START condition, which is a high-to-low transition on CRF/SDA, while CTL/SCL is high. When the master has finished communicating with the slave, the master issues a STOP condition (P), which is low-to-high transition on CRF/SDA, while CTL/SCL is high. The bus is then free for another transmission. Figures 15 and 16 show the timing diagram for signals on the 2-wire interface. The address-byte, command-byte, and data-byte are transmitted between the START and STOP conditions. The CRF/SDA state is allowed to change only while ______________________________________________________________________________________ 23 MAX1895/MAX1995 High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers A B tLOW tHIGH C E D F G I H J K L M SMBCLK SMBDATA tSU:STA tHD:STA tSU:DAT A = START CONDITION B = MSB OF ADDRESS CLOCKED INTO SLAVE C = LSB OF ADDRESS CLOCKED INTO SLAVE D = R/W BIT CLOCKED INTO SLAVE E = SLAVE PULLS SMBDATA LINE LOW tHD:DAT tHD:DAT tSU:STO tBUF J = ACKNOWLEDGE CLOCKED INTO MASTER K = ACKNOWLEDGE CLOCK PULSE L = STOP CONDITION, DATA EXECUTED BY SLAVE M = NEW START CONDITION F = ACKNOWLEDGE BIT CLOCKED INTO MASTER G = MSB OF DATA CLOCKED INTO SLAVE H = LSB OF DATA CLOCKED INTO SLAVE I = SLAVE PULLS SMBDATA LINE LOW Figure 15.

SMBus Read Timing CTL/SCL is low, except for the START and STOP conditions. Data is transmitted in 8-bit words and is sampled on the rising edge of CTL/SCL. Nine clock cycles are required to transfer each byte in or out of the MAX1895 since either the master or the slave acknowledges the receipt of the correct byte during the ninth clock. If the MAX1895 receives its correct slave address followed by RW = 0, it expects to receive one or two bytes of information (depending on the protocol). If the device detects a start or stop condition prior to clocking in the bytes of data, it considers this an error condition and disregards all of the data. If the transmission is completed correctly the registers are updated immediately after a STOP (or RESTART) condition. If the MAX1895 receives its correct slave address followed by RW = 1, it expects to clock out the register data selected by the previous command byte. 24 SMBus Commands The MAX1895 registers are accessible through several different redundant commands (i.e., the command-byte in the read-byte and write-byte protocols), which can be used to read or write the brightness, SHMD, status, or ID registers. Table 6 summarizes the command-byte’s register assignments as well as each register’s power-on state. The MAX1895 also supports the receive-byte protocol for quicker data transfers. This protocol accesses the register configuration pointed to by the last command byte. Immediately after power-up, the data-byte returned by the receive-byte protocol is the contents of the brightness register, left justified (i.e. BRIGHT4 will be in the most significant bit position of the data byte) with the remaining bits containing a one, STATUS1, and ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers DATA REGISTER BIT ASSIGNMENT SMBus PROTOCOL COMMAND BYTE* POR STATE Read and Write Byte 0x01 0b0XXX XX01 0x17 Read and Write Byte 0x02 0b0XXX XX10 0xF9 Read Byte only 0x03 0b0XXX XX11 0x96 Read Byte only 0x04 0b0XXX XX00 0x00 ChipRev7 ChipRev6 ChipRev5 ChipRev4 0 0 0 0 ChipRev3 ChipRev2 ChipRev1 0 0 0 ChipRev0 0 Read and Write Byte 0x80 0b10XX XX0X 0xBF BRIGHT4 BRIGHT3 BRIGHT2 (MSB) BRIGHT1 BRIGHT0 (LSB) 1 STATUS1 STATUS0 Read Byte only 0xFE 0b11XX XXX0 0x4D MfgID7 0 MfgID6 1 MfgID5 0 MfgID4 0 MfgID3 1 MfgID2 1 MfgID1 0 MfgID0 1 Read Byte only 0xFF 0b11XX XXX1 0x96 ChipID7 1 ChipID6 0 ChipID5 0 ChipID4 1 ChipID3 0 ChipID2 1 ChipID1 1 ChipID0 0 BIT 0 (LSB) BIT 7 (MSB) BIT 6 BIT 5 BIT 4 BIT 3 0 0 0 BRIGHT4 (MSB) BRIGHT3 1 1 1 SHMD2 SHMD1 SHMD0 ChipID5 0 ChipID4 1 ChipID3 0 ChipID2 1 ChipID1 1 ChipID0 0 STATUS1 STATUS0 ChipID7 1 ChipID6 0 BIT 2 BIT 1 BRIGHT2 BRIGHT1 BRIGHT0 (LSB) Note: The hexadecimal command byte shown is recommended for maximum forward compatibility with future products. X = Don’t Care STATUS0. This will give the same result as using the read-word protocol with 0b10XXXXXX (0x80) command. Use caution with the shorter protocols in multimaster systems, since a second master could overwrite the command byte without informing the first master. During shutdown the serial interface remains fully functional. Brightness Register [BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0] (POR = 0b10111) The 5-bit brightness register corresponds with the 5-bit brightness code used in the dimming control (see Dimming Control). BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0 = 0b00000 sets minimum brightness and BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0 = 0b11111 sets maximum brightness. The SMBus interface does not control whether the device regulates the current by analog dimming, DPWM dimming or both, this is done by MINDAC (see Multimode Pin Description section) Status Register [STATUS1–STATUS0] (POR = 0b11) The status register returns information on fault conditions. If a lamp is not connected to the secondary of the transformer, the MAX1895 will detect that the lamp current has not exceeded the IFB detection threshold and after 2s will clear the STATUS1 bit (see Lamp-Out Detection section). The STATUS1 bit is latched; i.e. it will remain 0 even if the lamp-out condition goes away. When STATUS1 = 0, the lamp is forced off. STATUS0 reports ‘1’ as long as no overcurrent conditions are detected. If an overcurrent condition is detected in any given digital PWM period, STATUS0 is cleared for the duration of the following digital PWM period. If an overcurrent condition is not detected in any given digital PWM period, STATUS0 is set for the duration of the following digital PWM period. Forcing the CCFL lamp off by entering shutdown, writing to the mode register, or by toggling SHB/SUS sets STATUS1. Shutdown Mode Register [SHMD2–SHMD0] (POR = 0b001) The 3-bit shutdown mode register configures the operation of the device when SH/SUS pin is toggled as described in Table 8. The shutdown mode register can also be used to directly shut off the CCFL regardless of the state of SH/SUS (Table 9). ______________________________________________________________________________________ 25 MAX1895/MAX1995 Table 7.

SHMD2 = 0 allows the lamp to operate although it may still be shutdown by the SH/SUS pin (depending on the state of SHMD1 and SHMD0). 1 SHMD1 0 When SH/SUS = 0, this bit has no effect. SH/SUS = 1 and SHMD1 = 1 forces the lamp off and sets STATUS1. SH/SUS = 1 and SHMD1 = 0 allows the lamp to operate although it may still be shutdown by the SHMD2 bit. 0 SHMD0 1 When SH/SUS = 1, this bit has no effect. SH/SUS = 0 and SHMD0 = 1 forces the lamp off and sets STATUS1. SH/SUS = 0 and SHMD0 = 0 allows the lamp to operate although it may still be shutdown by the SHMD2 bit. DESCRIPTION Table 9.

Table 10. Status Register Bit Descriptions (Read Only/Writes Have No Effect) BIT NAME POR STATE 1 STATUS1 1 STATUS1 = 0 means that a lamp-out condition has been detected. The STATUS1 bit stays clear even after the lamp-out condition has gone away. The only way to set STATUS1 is to shut off the lamp by programming the mode register or by toggling SHB/SUS. 0 STATUS0 1 STATUS0 = 0 means that an overcurrent condition was detected during the previous digital PWM period. STATUS0 = 1 means that no overcurrent condition was detected during the previous digital PWM period. DESCRIPTION ID Registers The ID registers return information on the manufacturer, the chip ID, and the chip revision number. The MAX1895 is the first-generation advanced CCFL controller and its ChipRev is 0x00. Reading from MfgID register returns 0x4D, which is the ASCII code for “M” (for Maxim), the ChipID register returns 0x96. Writing to these registers has no effect. 26 Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 7364 ______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness Range, CCFL Backlight Controllers VCC BATT CCV CCI IFB N.C.
