PanelMatchTM VEasyLITTM LXMG1811-05-6xS 5V 6W CCFL Programmable Inverter Module (R) TM P RODUCTION D ATASHEET KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION Automatic brightness control can extend the life of the display and save power (particularly important for battery powered products). For applications needing full manual control of lamp brightness (dimming) we recommend the LXMG1811-05-6x (non-S), which does not offer the light sensor input. The maximum output current of the inverter is externally programmable over a range of 4mA to 7mA in 1mA steps to allow the inverter to properly match (PanelMatchTM) to a wide array of LCD panel lamp current specifications. For higher input voltage requirements the LXMG1813-12-6x or -6xS will work from a 9V to 16V input supply. 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.

Microsemi .C OM The LXMG1811-05-6xS is a Single Output 6W CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Module designed for the driving LCD backlight lamps for panels in the range of 3.9" to 15". Utilizing the full-bridge drive topology capabilities of the Microsemi's highly integrated LX6512 CCFL backlight controller the inverter allows a wider lamp output voltage range 280V to 730V compared to Microsemi's existing Direct DriveTM inverter solutions. Also this `S' version includes an additional input connector which links the inverter to a light sensor board (the LXMG1800_LS). So connected the inverter is capable of automatically adjusting (VEasyLITTM) the brightness of the LCD display to ambient lighting conditions.

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 manufacture'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. 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 two seconds, after which (without success) the inverter will shutdown. In this mode the inverter will draw about 5mA from VIN. In order to restart the inverter it is necessary to toggle the sleep input or cycle the VIN input supply. 5V VHI VIN BRITE 500k CCFL TUBE LXMG1811-05-6xS SLEEP SET1 SET2 NC NC GND VLO Figure 1 - Brightness Control (Output current set to maximum) 5V VIN BRITE VHI CCFL TUBE LXMG1811-05-6xS SLEEP SET1 SET2 GND VLO L L H H L 4.0mARMS H 5.0mARMS L 6.0mARMS H 7.0mARMS L=GND; H=Open Figure 2 - Max Output Current (SET1 and SET2 Inputs) Copyright (c) 2008 Rev 1.0, 2008-11-14 Microsemi Analog Mixed Signal Group 11861 Western Avenue, Garden Grove, CA. 92841, 800-877-6458, 714-898-8121, Fax: 714-893-2570 Page 6 APPLICATION It is recommended to use LXMG1811-05-6xS only with the LXMG1800_LS external light sensor assembly. A 500k potentiometer may be added to the inverter's BRITE input pin to allow a degree of manual override to the light sensor. Adjustment of the potentiometer will only dim the display further; it cannot increase the maximum brightness level set by the light sensor. If full manual control of dimming is required by the application we recommend the use of the LXMG1811-05-6x (non-S) version. WWW .
