(Note 3) Provided data is not tested but guaranteed by design. Application Notes: 1) The minimum distance from high voltage areas of the inverter to any conductive material should be .12 inches per kilovolt of starting voltage. 2) Mounting hardware to be non-conductive. 3) Open framed inverters should not be used in applications at altitudes over 10,000 feet. 4) ACreturn should be left floating, not grounded. 5) Contact ERG for possible exceptions. page 2.

Both pins should be connected for optimum reliability and efficiency. GND Inverter ground. Both pins should be connected for optimum reliability and efficiency. Control Analog voltage input to the onboard pulse width modulator. Increasing this voltage increases the off time of the onboard PWM resulting in decreased brightness. Enable/PWM Inverter Enable. If this pin is driven high, the inverter is enabled. Pull this pin low to disable inverter operation. Application information The DMF series of inverters is designed to power up to six cold cathode fluorescent lamps with combined power of up to sixty watts. An external enable control and an onboard analog controlled pulse width modulator provide flexibility in allowing either PWM or analog methods for dimming. The DMF inverter can reliably dim to less than 0.5% duty cycle, which results in an electrical dimming ratio of greater than 200:1. Depending upon the attached backlight assembly, optical dimming ratios of greater than 1000:1 can be accomplished. Graph 1 shows the relationship of relative brightness to duty cycle for a typical backlight assembly. External shutdown or external PWM operation of the inverter is accomplished using the Enable pin. Enabling the inverter is accomplished by pulling this pin high (above Vthon). Pulling this pin low (below Vthoff) disables the inverter. If analog voltage dimming is required, the onboard PWM can be enabled. The analog voltage is applied to the Control pin. Figure 1 shows how to connect the inverter for onboard PWM operation. Graph 2 shows the relationship of PWM duty cycle to input control voltage. If more than one inverter is used in a backlight assembly, the PWM signal for each inverter should be synchronized to prevent flickering. Connect the Enable pin of each inverter to the external PWM source. Connect the control pin to GND. page 3.
