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 also is available (LXM1623-05-4x), as well as 6W versions (LXM1623-xx-6x) for driving larger higher voltage panels. 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/shorted lamp protection with fault timeout. APPLICATIONS High Brightness Displays Portable Instrumentation Desktop Displays Industrial Display Controls WWW . Microsemi .C OM The LXM1623-12-4x is a Dual 4W Output Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Module specifically designed for driving LCD backlight lamps. It is ideal for driving typical 6.4” to 10.4” TFT panels. LXM1623 modules provide the designer with a vastly superior display brightness range. This brightness range is achievable with virtually any LCD display. 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 5 to 6.5mA in 0.5mA steps to allow the inverter to properly match to a wide array of LCD panel lamp current specifications. RangeMAX Digital Dimming Technique provides flicker-free brightness control in any wide range typically (50:1+) dimming application.

The inverter contains an internal 10K pull-up to 3V to bias the pot, add a 1.8K 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. If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect to TTL logic signal to the SLEEP input. 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. 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. 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. 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 V IN1 BRITE 0.45V 20K to 2.0V V HI LXM1623-12-4x 1.8K SLEEP SET 1 SET 2 GND CCFL TUBE V LO ONE OF TW O NC NC Figure 1 – Brightness Control (Output current set to maximum) PW M Signal from System BRITE P.W .
