3.3V 2.2W CCFL Programmable Inverter Module
P RODUCTION D ATASHEET
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. A 5V input inverter is also
available (LXMG1618-05-2x).
The modules design is based on
Microsemi’s new LX1689 backlight
controller, which provides a number of
cost and performance advantages due to
the controller’s high level of integration.
Other benefits of this new topology
are stable fixed-frequency operation,
secondary-side strike-voltage regulation
and both open and shorted lamp
protection with fault timeout.

The LXMG1618-03-2x is a Single
Output 2.2W Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter
Module specifically designed for driving
LCD backlight lamps. It is ideal for
driving typical 3.9” to 6.4” panels.
The maximum output current is
externally programmable over a range of
3.5 to 5mA in 0.5mA steps to allow the
inverter to properly match to a wide array
of LCD panel lamp current specifications.
The modules are include a dimming input
that permits brightness control from either
a DC voltage source, a PWM signal or an
external potentiometer.
LXMG1618 modules unlike the
LXMG1617 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.

3.3V
DAC or
Pot
0.65V
to
2.0V
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 2.7K resistor to set the lower threshold voltage.
A 3.3V Logic Level PWM signal from a micro-controller
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 and efficiency 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 the peak output current, using this technique the
effective dim ratio can be increased. 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 as not all lamps are
designed to be overdriven.
ƒ
The inverter has a built in fault timeout function. If
the output is open (lamp disconnected or broken) or shorted
the inverter will attempt to strike the lamp for several
seconds. After about 2 seconds 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.
