PanelMatchTM (R) TM LXMG1627-12-4x 12V Dual 4W Programmable CCFL Inverter Module P RODUCTION D ATASHEET KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION Externally Programmable Maximum Output Current Easy to Use Brightness Control RangeMAXTM Wide Range Dimming Output Open/Short-Circuit Protection and Automatic StrikeVoltage Regulation and Timeout Fixed Frequency Operation Rated From -30C to 80C UL60950 E175910 Pending RoHS Compliant The resultant "burst drive" that energizes the lamp was designed specifically to ensure that no premature lamp degradation occurs, while allowing significant power savings at lower dim levels. The modules convert DC voltage from the system battery or AC adapter directly to high frequency, high-voltage waves required to ignite and operate CCFL lamps. A 5V input inverter is also available (LXMG1627-05-4x), as well as 6W versions (LXMG1627-xx-6x) for driving large higher voltage/power panels. The module's design is based on Microsemi's LX6512 backlight controller, which provides a number of cost and performance advantages due to the controller's high level of integration. Other benefits of this new topology are stable fixed-frequency operation, secondary-side strike-voltage regulation and both open and short protection with fault timeout. WWW . Microsemi .C OM The LXMG1627-12-4x is a Dual 4W Output Direct DriveTM CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Module specifically designed for driving LCD backlight lamps. It is ideal for driving typical 6.4" to 10.4" TFT panels. LXMG1627 modules provide the designer with a vastly 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 or a PWM signal or external potentiometer. The maximum output current is externally programmable over a range of 5mA to 6.5mA in 0.5mA steps to allow the inverter to properly match to a wide array of LCD panel lamp current specifications. RangeMAXTM Digital Dimming Technique provides flicker-free brightness control in any wide range typically (50:1+) dimming application.

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 a 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. 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 users responsibility since not all lamps are designed to be overdriven. The inverter has a built in fault timeout function. If either or both outputs are open (lamp disconnected or broken) the inverter will attempt to strike for about a 1.5 seconds and then shutdown for safety purposes. In order to restart the inverter it is necessary to toggle the sleep input or cycle the VIN input supply.

The inverter contains an internal 300k pull-up to typically 4.2V to bias the pot. 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 2.3V divided by the logic high voltage level; with 3.3V logic level this corresponds to about 70% duty cycle for maximum lamp current.
