This new inverter was specifically designed to reduce the leakage currents from the lamp to the reflector or the metal frame of the panels. The floating output architecture of this inverter also permits a much wider dimming range when compared to non-floating designs, and allows an additional 10% efficiency improvement. The module converts unregulated DC voltage from the system battery or AC adapter directly to high-frequency, high-voltage sine waves required to ignite and operate CCFL lamps. The module design is based on a proprietary Linfinity IC that provides important new performance advances. Remarkable improvements in efficiency and RF emissions result from this single stage resonant inverter, featuring a patented Current Synchronous, Zero Voltage Switching (CS-ZVS) topology. CS-ZVS produces nearly pure sine wave currents in the lamp, A T A S H E E T K E Y F E AT U R E S enabling maximum light delivery, while reducing both conducted and radiated noise. This topology simultaneously performs two tasks including line voltage regulation and lamp dimming through lamp current regulation. These two functions are performed in a single power stage made up of a pair of low-loss MOSFETs. The MOSFETs drive a low current resonant circuit that feeds the primary of a high-voltage transformer with a sinusoidal voltage. Required L and C values in the resonant circuit are such that very lowloss components can be used to obtain higher electrical efficiency than is possible with previous topologies. The full-bridge LXM1653 provides peak efficiency when operated at input voltages from 6.5 volts to 18 volts. In addition, this module is equipped with a dimming input that permits full range brightness control from an external potentiometer or PWM signal, and a sleep input that reduces module power to a few microwatts in shutdown mode. Output open and short circuit protection are also featured on this module.
