LXMG1626-12-46

12V Dual 6W CCFL Programmable Inverter Module

TM ®

DESCRIPTION

The LXMG1626-12-46 is a Dual 6W

Output Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold

Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter

Module specifically designed to be

compatible with variety of LCD panels

that have both lamps on one side of the

panel and use a single common lamp

return wire.

LXMG1626 modules provide the

designer with a superior display brightness

range. This brightness range is achievable

with virtually any LCD display.

The modules are available with a

dimming input that permits brightness

control from either, a DC voltage source,

a PWM signal or external potentiometer.

The maximum output current is

externally programmable (through the

input connector) at either 10mA or 12mA

(5mA or 6mA per lamp). This allows the

inverter to match the panel’s lamp current

specifications, or it can be used to

purposely drive the lamps at a lower or

higher current to decrease or increase

nominal brightness. The inverter also has

a dedicated FAULT pin that indicates an

open/shorted lamp condition.

In addition when only one of the two

lamps in the LCD fails open, the second

lamp will continue to operate with a

FAULT signal toggling to indicate the

failed condition, StayLit™featur e.

RangeMAX Digital Dimming

Technique provides flicker-free

brightness control in any wide range

typically (100:1+) dimming application.

The resultant “burst drive” that

energizes the lamp is designed

specifically to ensure that no premature

lamp degradation occurs, while allowing

significant power savings at lower dim

levels.

The design utilizes Microsemi’s

highly integrated LX1691B backlight

controller to convert DC voltage from the

system battery or AC adapter directly to

high frequency, high-voltage waves

required to ignite and operate CCFL

lamps.

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.

Figure 2 – FAULT Output Operation

* Under some conditions the second lamp will also shutdown, this is especially true

if the inverter draws an arc going open or when shorted.

 The brightness control may be a voltage output DAC or

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

inverter contains an internal 215K pull-up to 3V to bias the

pot. 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 SLEE

input.

 Connect VHI1 and VHI2 to high voltage wires from the

lamps. Connect VLO to the low voltage wire lamp return

(wire with thinner insulation). Never connect VLO to circuit

ground as this will defeat lamp current regulation.

 Use the SET input to program the desired maximum output

current. Generally the best lamp lifetime correlates with

driving the CCFL at the manufacture’s nominal current

setting.

 Typically the SET pin is permanently wired to ground or

intentionally left open. However it can also be actively

driven, using an open collector or open drain logic signal.

This will allow dynamic adjustment of 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 dimming ratio is a

factor of both the burst duty cycle and the peak output

current, by using this technique the effective dim ratio can

be increased greater than what the burst duty cycle alone

could provide. Conversely, the SET input could be used to

overdrive the lamp current. Of course, any possible

degradation of lamp life from such practices is the user’s

responsibility since not all lamps are designed to be under

or overdriven.

 Input connector (CN1-8) FAULT signal which is normally

low will toggle high to indicate that an output fault

condition has occurred as summarized in the table to the left

figure 2. FAULT will toggle high if one or both lamps are

open or short circuited. If only one lamp opens, or its high

side shorts to ground then the other lamp should continue to

operate with the FAULT signal going high. If both lamps

open and/or both lamps are shorted the FAULT will toggle

high if it is not already high and the inverter output will

shutdown. Also if either low side connection of the lamps

is shorted to ground, or the lamps are shorted high side to

low side, FAULT will go high and the inverter will

shutdown. In order to restart the inverter after a fault it is

necessary to toggle the SLEEP input or cycle the VIN input

supply. In fault induced shutdown mode the inverter will

draw about 15mA from VIN supply.
