PanelMatch™ I N T E G R A T E D P R O D U C T S LXM1643-12-61 12V Quad 6W CCFL Programmable Inverter Module P RELIMINARY D ATASHEET KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION The resultant “burst drive” that energizes the lamp was designed specifically to ensure that no premature lamp degradation occurs, while allowing significant power savings at lower dim levels. 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. The LXM1643-12-61 inverter is intended for panel assemblies where lamp pairs share close proximity with one another. The LXM1643-12-62 inverter should be considered for panel applications with individual lamp connections or where lamps are spaced well apart from each other. 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.

Microsemi .C OM The LXM1643-12-61 is a Quad 6W Output Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Module specifically designed for driving LCD backlight lamps. It is ideal for driving typical 12.1” to 18.1” TFT panels. LXM1643 modules provides the designer with a vastly superior display brightness range then typical with analog (amplitude control) dimming. The inverter includes 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 10 to 16mA (per lamp pair) in 2mA 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.

One of two NC NC If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect to TTL logic signal to the SLEEP input. V LO Figure 1 – Brightness Control (Output current set to maximum) PW M Signal from System 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.

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 return is open (lamp disconnected or broken) or shorted the inverter will attempt to strike the lamp for several seconds. After about a second 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. In the timeout shutdown mode input drain current will be about 8mA.
