Improved Over-Voltage Control PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT 5 Standard Analog Dimming Inverter Power Used (Watts) 4 W W W. Microsemi .COM Safety and reliability features include a new dual feedback control loop that permits regulation of maximum lamp strike voltage as well as lamp current. Regulating maximum lamp voltage permits the designer to provide for ample worst case lamp strike voltage while at the same time conservatively limit maximum open circuit voltage. An innovative new strike voltage generation technique enables the nodule designer to optimize high voltage transformer design for maximum operating efficiency with no power dissipating overhead to guarantee strike capability Direct drive topology is a nonresonant, oscillator-controlled PWM regulation method. The LX1686 allows a wide choice of fixed operating frequencies to match lamp current frequency to the lamp’s most efficient operating point, and to minimize high frequency interference. The LX1686 Backlight Controller IC provides all the control functions needed to implement Linfinity’s direct drive inverters used to operate cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL’s). This IC can be used to control single or multiple-lamp configurations. CCFL’s are used for back or edge lighting of liquid crystal flat panel displays (LCD’s) and typically find application in notebook computers, web browsers, automotive and industrial instrumentation, and entertainment systems. The LX1686 includes a PWM controlled lamp current burst circuit that can provide a > 100:1 dimming range from a simple zero to 2.5V potentiometer input. The PWM dimming burst rate is easily synchronized to the LCD panel’s frame rate to prevent interference from optical beat frequencies. 3 LinFinity's RangeMAX 2 Light emitted by a CCFL is proportional to the current flowing through it. There are two ways to control the current: by adjusting the amplitude of a continuous AC current; or, as with RangeMAX technology, by varying the amount of time a burst of full current is present. RangeMAX technology frees the backlight inverter module designer to operate in a lower brightness and lower power consumption mode than is possible with conventional amplitude control methods. 1 0 30 45 60 75 90 105 LX1686 0 Light Output (Nits) PACKAGE ORDER INFO TJ (°C) PW 0 to 85 -40 to 85 Plastic TSSOP 24-PIN LX1686CPW LX1686IPW Note: Available in Tape & Reel.
