PanelMatchTM (R) TM LXMG1617A-05-6x 5V 6W CCFL Programmable Inverter Module P RODUCTION D ATASHEET KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION The module converts a DC voltage from the system battery or AC adapter directly to high frequency, high-voltage waves required to ignite and operate CCFL lamps. A 12V input inverter is also available (LXMG1617A-12-6x). The LXMG1617A modules integrate the newer highly integrated LX1691B CCFL backlight controller to provide wider dimming range (typically 100:1+) and wider temperature range (-30C to 80C) compared to the existing solutions offered by Microsemi. Other benefits of the inverter's topology include stable fixed-frequency operation, secondary-side strike voltage regulation and both open/shorted lamp protection with fault timeout. The new LXMG1617A ("A Series") modules are designed therefore as a higher performance near drop-inreplacement (see BRITE minimum input voltage level) for those customers and applications currently using the LXMG1617 inverters.

Microsemi .C OM The LXMG1617A-05-6x is a Single Output 6W Direct DriveTM CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Module designed for driving LCD backlight lamps. It is typically ideal for driving 12.1" to 15" TFT panels. LXMG1617A modules provide the designer with a superior display brightness range. This brightness range is achievable with virtually any LCD display. The maximum output current is externally programmable over a range of 5 to 8mA in 1mA steps to allow the inverter to properly match to a wide array of LCD panel lamp current specifications. The modules include a dimming input that permits brightness control from a DC voltage source, a PWM signal or an external potentiometer. The resultant "burst drive" that energizes the lamp was designed to ensure that no premature lamp degradation occurs, while allowing significant power savings at lower dim levels.

The inverter contains an internal 215K pull-up to 3V to bias the pot, if desired; add a resistor to set the lower threshold voltage above the absolute minimum dim level capability. 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 manufacturers. 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 an 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 user's 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 up to about one second, after which (without success) the inverter will shutdown, in this mode the inverter will draw about 8mA from VIN. In order to restart the inverter it is necessary to toggle the sleep input or cycle the VIN input supply.
