5V 2.2W CCFL Programmable Inverter Module

TM ®

DESCRIPTION

The LXMG1618A-05-2x™ is a Single

Output 2.2W Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold

Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter

Module designed for driving LCD

backlight lamps. It is ideal for driving

typically 3.9” to 6.4” panels.

The maximum output current is

externally programmable over a range of

3.5 to 5mA in 0.5mA steps (PanelMatch)

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.

LXMG1618A modules unlike the

LXMG1617A series do not provide wide

range ‘burst’ mode dimming, rather

dimming is provided by amplitude control

of the output current waveform, and this

limits the potential dim range to typically

less than 5:1.

The module converts a DC voltage

from the system battery, or AC adapter

directly to high frequency, high-voltage

waveform required to ignite and operate

CCFL lamps. A 3.3V input inverter is

also available (LXMG1618A-03-2x).

The LXMG1618A modules contain

the newer highly integrated LX1691B

CCFL backlight controller to provide a

wider temperature range (-30°C to 80°C)

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 LXMG1618A (“A Series”)

modules are designed therefore as a

higher performance near drop-in

replacement (see BRITE minimum input)

for those customers and applications

currently using the LXMG1618 inverters.

Figure 2 – Max Output Current

(SET1 and SET2 Inputs)

• The brightness control may be a voltage output DAC or

other voltage source, a digital pot or 500K manual pot. The

inverter contains effectively an internal 338k 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 PWM logic level signal (figure 1A) may be

used up to 5V; however the inverter will reach maximum

current at less than 100% duty cycle. This can be

calculated as approximately 2V divided by the logic high

voltage level; with 3.3V logic level this corresponds to

about 60% duty cycle for maximum lamp current.

• 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

manufacturer’s 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 the peak output current, using

this technique the effective dim ratio can be increased.

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. Supply current draw in the shutdown mode is

about 8mA. In order to restart the inverter it is necessary to

toggle the sleep input or cycle the VIN input supply.
