The TPS68000 device provides a power supply
controller solution for CCFL backlight applications in a
large variety of applications. The wide input voltage
range of 8 V to 30 V makes it suitable to be powered
directly from regulated 12-V or 24-V rails, or any
other source with output voltages in this range. When
using a 10% accurate regulated 5-V rail, it also can
be used in notebook computers or other portable
battery-powered equipment having lower minimum
supply voltages. The controller is capable of driving
the gates of all 4 NMOS switches directly without the
need for any additional circuitry, like dedicated gate
drivers or gate-drive transformers. The wide input
voltage range also makes it easy to design CCFL
converters with higher input voltages like 120 V or
400 V available at the output of a power factor
correction unit. The TPS68000 also supports CCFL
converter circuits driving multi-lamp applications,
either by using higher power-rated switches and
transformers,
or
using
several
TPS68000s
synchronized. When synchronized, they can be
operated either at the same frequency and phase, or
phase shifted to minimize RMS input current. Already
implemented smart dimming features, such as
support of distributed dimming, also help to optimize
the performance of multi-controller applications.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
To start the lamp, an automatic strike control is implemented. It smoothly increases the lamp voltage by
sweeping the operating frequency across the self resonance frequency of the transformer-series capacitor
resonant circuit. During this time the maximum lamp voltage is limited and regulated by a voltage control loop
until the lamp current increases to a value allowing the current control loop to take over control. The lamp current
is regulated over a wide current range. To set the lamp brightness, analog and PWM dimming circuits are
implemented. Analog and PWM dimming can be used independent of each other to control lamp brightness over
a wide range.
To protect the circuit during fault conditions, for example broken, disconnected, or shorted lamps, overvoltage
protection and overcurrent protection circuits are implemented. To protect the TPS68000 from overheating, an
internal temperature sensor is implemented that triggers controller turn-off at an excessive device temperature.
The device is packaged in a 30-pin TSSOP package measuring 6,4 mm x 7,8 mm (DBT).

SLVS524A – OCTOBER 2005 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2006
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Supply Voltages
The TPS68000 and the connected H-bridge power stage can be completely supplied by a voltage connected to
VCC. This voltage must be between 8 V to 30 V. In this configuration an internal linear regulator generates the 5
V required for control supply and gate drive supply. It is available at the V5 pin. The external capacitors for
supplying the high side gate drivers during operation are charged using internal diodes during the time when the
low side switches are turned on. The 3.3-V reference voltage is generated with a precise linear regulator, which
is also supplied from the 5-V control supply.
Optionally, the device can be supplied using a regulated 5-V rail. This is done by connecting the external 5 V to
VCC and V5. This way the internal regulator is bypassed and the internal power dissipation is reduced. It also
makes it possible to use any voltage lower than 30 V to supply the H-bridge power stage. When using
appropriate means of isolating the gate drive outputs of the device from their respective gates of the H-bridge
switches, the device can control power stages with higher input voltages as well. An example for this
configuration is using the output voltage of the PFC directly as a supply for the H-bridge power stage.
Gate Driver
The TPS68000 is a controller for converters, built with a full bridge topology. To control the output power highside and low-side switches in each of the two half bridges are driven alternately with 50% duty cycle. By phase
shifting both half-bridge parts to each other, output power is controlled. Current can only flow into the transformer
if one of the high side switches is turned on the same time as the low-side switch on the other half-bridge is
turned on. Maximum output power can be achieved if the turn on time of the high-side switch on one half-bridge
exactly overlaps with the turn on time of the low side on the other half bridge. Zero output power will be if there is
no overlap.
To properly control the 4 switches required for this phase shift full bridge topology, 4 gate drivers are
implemented. To obtain maximum efficiency at lowest costs the gate drivers are designed to drive 4 N-Channel
MOSFETs. The gate drive outputs can be connected directly to the gates of the FETs. There is no gate drive
circuit required as long as the operating input voltage range does not exceed the isolation voltage of the high
side drivers or the drive capability is not sufficient for larger FETs. The nominal gate drive voltage is 5 V. This 5V rail is generated internally in the device and is used directly to supply the low side drivers. For the high side
drivers external capacitors are used to supply the drivers. They are charged up during the on time of the low-side
drivers.
Control Circuit
The device is able to control lamp current and lamp voltage directly. Lamp voltage and lamp current are sensed
with an appropriate feedback divider and a shunt resistor. By suitable designing feedback divider and shunt
resistor lamp current and maximum lamp voltage are programmed. Since the lamp needs to be operated with AC
current, the feedback signals in simple applications usually are AC voltages. To directly support this and to save
external components for rectification, internal half wave rectifiers are built in the device.
Regulating current and voltage is done by two independent error amplifiers. Both are compensated externally to
be flexible to meet the demands for a wide variety of CCFL backlight applications. Both error amplifier outputs
feed the phase shift modulator. Whichever error amplifier requires the lower duty cycle, takes over control of the
system. The control circuit also detects whether the device operates in voltage regulation or in current regulation.
If voltage regulation is detected a fault condition is assumed, for example a broken lamp. In this condition the
control circuit waits for a programmed wait time. If the current regulator does not take over control again during
this wait time, the device shuts down and sets the FAULT flag. The wait time is programmed with the size of the
capacitance at STC.
Protection
In addition to the voltage regulator other means of protection are implemented. To ensure that the secondary
voltage of the transformer does not exceed the isolation breakdown voltage of the transformer an overvoltage
comparator is implemented. This comparator monitors the rectified voltage at the VSEN input. If the peak voltage
level at VSEN rises 20% above the nominal regulation voltage, regulated by the voltage amplifier, the
overvoltage comparator trips and the device immediately enters FAULT condition. For detailed threshold values
please check the electrical characteristics table.

For additional protection there is a standalone comparator implemented. It can be used to monitor any voltage in
the system. The switching threshold is set to the VREF voltage.
. This comparator monitors a voltage at its input and compares it with the internal reference voltage. As soon as
the input voltage of the comparator exceeds the reference voltage the comparator asserts FAULT at its output.
Negative voltages can be applied at that pin but there is no rectification. Since the input of the overcurrent
comparator is directly accessible at a pin it can be connected to any part of the circuit. It must not necessarily
use the shunt resistor used for current regulation. Monitoring the current in the secondary winding or any other
DC voltage in the system may be a desired approach as well.
Finally the device has an internal temperature sensor to monitor the IC temperature. If the temperature gets too
high FAULT is asserted as well. For detailed values for threshold and hysteresis of the thermal protection please
check the electrical characteristics table.
Oscillator
The device is operating at a fixed frequency which is generated by a built in PLL circuit. The frequency is
programmed with a resistor at SET. It also can be synchronized to an external frequency at SYNC. When
synchronizing to an external clock two modes are possible. One is to synchronize directly to the external clock,
the other is to synchronizeto the external clock but phase shifted. This helps to minimize the RMS input current
of the complete power converter application in a multi controller topology. This phase shift is programmed with a
DC voltage of 0 V to 2 V at PH for a phase shift of 0° to 180°.
Dimming
To dimm the lamp, two basic methods of dimming are supported. The first is to control the lamp current directly,
called analog dimming. The second is to turn the lamp on and off at a low frequency with a certain duty cycle,
called burst dimming. Analog dimming, is done by just providing a DC voltage at ABR. The lamp current will be
regulated propotional to that voltage. The maximum lamp current in burst dimming is also programmed with this
voltage at ABR.
Turning the lamp on and off, burst dimming, needs some more information. A low frequency must be generated
and duty cycle information for the on time needs to be provided. The simplest burst dimming mode, independent
burst dimming, is to program the low frequency with an external capacitor at BF. Applying a DC voltage at BBR
sets the duty cycle of the burst pulse. The burst duty cycle will be programmed proportional to the DC voltage at
BBR.
If the burst dimming frequency and duty cycle must be synchronized to an external PWM signal this external
signal can be connected to BC. The bursts follow the PWM signal directly. A PWM signal detected at BC has
priority to any internally generated burst signal. To force the device to take the BC PWM signal BBR can be tied
high (V5).
To minimize RMS input current in a multiple controller application the burst signal can be phase shifted to the
external PWM connected to BC, which is called Distributed Dimming®. Frequency and duty cycle stay the same.
The phase shift information is derived from the voltage at PH. Voltages of 0 V to 2 V at PH generate burst phase
shifts of 0° to 360°. For this mode of operation the internal low frequency oscillator is used. It is operated as a
PLL synchronized to the PWM frequency at BC and its center frequency has to be programmed at BF. The
compensation of the low frequency PLL is done with and R - C network connected at BBR.
Startup
When the device is enabled or the device is powered up with EN tied high, the device enters lamp strike mode.
In this mode no dimming and synchronization is possible. During the strike procedure the lamp current which
should flow when the lamp has turned on is programmed at ABR.
The device starts operating at double the programmed operating frequency and sweeps down to half of the
nominal frequency. During this sweep it can cross the self resonance frequency of the system with its maximum
voltage gain. As soon as the lamp current has reached its programmed value the device stops sweeping and
switches to the nominal operating frequency. The device will continue to regulate the lamp current and all other
control features like synchronization and burst dimming are enabled and will be used. If during this sweep the

lamp voltage, which is programmed at the voltage regulator is reached, frequency sweeping is stopped and the
voltage regulator regulates the voltage at the programmed level. At that time a timer is started. If during this
waiting, the lamp current reaches its programmed value, the device will continue operating as described above. If
for any reason the timer reaches its programmed end, programmed by a capacitor at STC, the device stops
working and enters FAULT condition.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DESIGN PROCEDURE
This section describes the basic configuration and calculations which need to be done for getting the component
values necessary for configuring the device properly. Backlight inverters can be significantly more complex
especially when driving multiple lamps with one or more controllers. This will be described in seperate application
notes and documentation for reference designs and EVM's which are also available.
Decoupling and Filtering
For decoupling and filtering it is recommended to use capacitors with a low series resistance and inductance to
achieve optimum performance. Surface mount ceramic capacitors are a good choice. It is also recommended to
use short and wide traces to connect those decoupling capacitors to the controller.
For the high side gate drivers in typical applications at least a 1-μF supply capacitor is recommended. It should
be connected between SA to V5A and SC to V5C with connectio placed as close as possible to the respective
pins to make sure that the gate drive outputs have a low impedance power source.
The V5 control supply requires a decoupling capacitor as well. It should be similar in capacitance as used for
both of the high side gate drivers. Example if a typical 1uF capacitor is used at the high side drivers therefore 2.2
μF is recommended at V5.
If V5 is used as an input, which means the controller is supplied with regulated 5 V directly, V5 must be
connected to VCC to avoid reverse current flowing and malfunctioning of the control circuits directly powered
from VCC.
In case the V5 regulator is supplied via the VCC input it is recommended to use a decoupling capacitor at the
VCC pin. The capacitor should be at least 0.1 μF. For additional filtering a resistor in series can be used.
For all those capacitors the PGND pin at the IC should be the reference ground.
Connecting the Gates of the MOSFETs
The gates of the MOSFETs of the power stage should be connected with short and wide traces having a low
impedance. The respective ground connection should be similar in width and length. Special care should be
taken on the loop area formed by the gate drive trace and the respective ground return trace, that it is as small
as possible. Any vias in this traces should be avoided.
If there is a need to slow down the switching speed of the FETs to reduce EMI caused by switching transients,
gate resistors at the gate drive outputs can be used.
Voltage Reference
The internal reference voltage is available at the VREF pin. It is recommended to decouple it at this pin using a
minimum 0.22 μF capacitor to the analog ground reference pin GND. Short direct connections are
recommended.
Enabling the Controller
A logic high at the EN pin enables the controller. The enable thresholds are designed to meet requirements of
3.3 V and 1.8 V logic standards. Nevertheless it is also possible to connect EN directly to VCC to enable the
controller at power up, since the EN pin can withstand voltages as high as allowed at VCC.
If the device detects a fault it is automatically disabled. To allow the device to automatically restart after a fault,
FAULT and EN pins can be directly connected together using a common pull up resistor to VCC.
Fault Output
The fault output is open drain. It is low impedance to GND if the controller detected a fault. In normal operation it
is always high impedance. To make sure that a logic low at the FAULT pin has a lower voltage than 0.4 V the
pullup resistor should limit the current into the FAULT pin to a value lower than 0.5 mA. Equation 1 shows the
calculation:

V
R FAULT + LOGIC
0.5 mA
(1)
RFAULT is the minimum resistance value of the pullup resistor, VLOGIC is the maximum supply voltage of the logic
connected to FAULT.
Main Oscillator
In normal operation the controller operates at the frequency of the main oscillator. It is programmed with a
resistor connecting the SET pin to GND. The resistor value is calculated using Equation 2:
R SET + 9720 kW kHz
fN
(2)
If the controller should be synchronized to an external clock the main oscillator frequency should be programmed
close to the synchronizing frequency. This avoids large variations in case external clock pulses are missing. It
also speeds up the locking to the external clock. The SET pin should never be left open.
Synchronization of the Main Oscillator
The main oscillator can be used in different modes of operation. The first and most important mode is using it as
a reference clock. This is also the mode of choice in a single controller application which is not synchronized to
an external clock. In this mode the SYNC pin is used as an output and should be left open if no circuit needs to
be synchronized to the device main oscillator clock. To force the device operating in this mode 5 V (V5) must be
connected to the PH pin.
Lower voltages applied at the PH pin configure the SYNC pin as an input. Detailed voltage levels for this can be
found in the electrical characteristics table. If the SYNC pin is configured as an input the device automatically
synchronizes the main oscillator to the frequency which must be applied at the SYNC pin. The compensation for
this main oscilator PLL circuit is done with a capacitor connected at the STC pin. Since this capacitor is used for
defining sweep and wait timing during startup and voltage regulation, synchronization is only possible when the
device has started and is regulating lamp current. Any capacitance value which makes sense for defining sweep
and wait time should offer a reasonable compensation for the main oscillator PLL. How to calculate the value for
the capacitor at STC to program the startup and wait timing is shown in the following paragraph. Typical values
are in a μF range.
Also a phase shifted synchronization can be programmed. For this a voltage in the range between 0 V and 2 V
must be applied at the PH pin. For calculating the phase shift of the main oscillator clock to the clock applied at
the SYNC pin Equation 3 can be used:
f N + VPH
90
o
V
(3)
In this equation φN is the main oscillator clock phase shift and VPH is the voltage applied at the PH pin.
Startup and Wait Timing
After enabling the device the device is starting at double the programmed main oscillator frequency and is
sweeping down to half the programmed main oscillator frequency. The timing for the sweep is programmed with
a capacitor connected between STC and GND. It can be calculated using Equation 4:
s
t SW + CSTC 0.42
mF
(4)
tSW is the sweep time and CSTC is the capacitance connected between the pins STC and GND.
If at any time the voltage regulator becomes active a wait timer is started. The timing is also programmed with a
capacitor connecting STC and GND. Open lamp condition will lead to shutdown after timeout. Equation 5 shows
how to calculate the wait time, tW:

t W + CSTC 0.63

Programming the Lamp Current
The lamp current which is an AC signal is sensed at the CSEN input. The AC signal is half-wave rectified
through internal circuits eliminating the need for external parts except for a current sense resistor. The error
amplifier will generate an average voltage from the half wave rectified input signal. This average voltage is
compared to the steering signal for the lamp current. This steering signal is always provided at the ABR input. It
is recommended to use the reference voltage as a maximum input voltage. For a sinusoidal feedback voltage at
CSEN the peak voltage matches the voltage applied at ABR. With this information the shunt resistor for a given
RMS lamp current can be calculated using Equation 6:
VABR
R Shunt +
Ǹ2
I
Lamp
(6)
Assuming that the reference voltage is connected to ABR the lamp current is calculated as shown in the
following Equation 7:
R Shunt + 3.3 V
I Lamp Ǹ2
(7)
RShunt is the value of the shunt resistor used for current sensing, VABR is the voltage applied at ABR and ILamp is
the RMS value of the lamp current which should be programmed.
Analog Dimming
By modifiying the voltage at ABR the lamp current steering signal is changed. With this the lamp current is
changed. The resulting lamp current for a certain voltage at ABR can be calculated as shown in Equation 8:
VABR
I Lamp +
Ǹ2
R
Shunt
(8)
ILamp is the RMS lamp current, VABR is the voltage at ABR and RShunt is the value of the resistor used for lamp
current sensing.
Programming the Voltage Regulation and Overvoltage Protection
The lamp voltage and the transformer secondary voltage are AC signals as is the lamp current. They are sensed
at the VSEN input. Circuits similar to the current amplifier (CSEN) half wave rectified input are eliminating the
requirement for rectification on VSEN. The error amplifier will generate an average voltage from the half wave
rectified input signal. This average voltage is compared to the steering signal for the voltage. This steering signal
is derived from the internal reference voltage VREF. The overvoltage comparator is monitoring the peak voltage at
VSEN. Its threshold is the internal reference voltage. The voltage divider ratio can be calculated using
Equation 9:
V
r V + REG
1.87 V
(9)
rV is the ratio of the voltage feedback divider and VREG is the maximum RMS voltage the regulator should
regulate at the lamp or transformer secondary.
The corresponding RMS voltage where the overvoltage protection comparator turns off can be calculated using
Equation 10:
V OVP + 2.33 V r V
(10)
To build the voltage feedback divider, resistive and capacitive dividers can be used. In case of a resistive divider
the ratio of the feedback divider is defined as shown in Equation 11:
R ) RL
rV + H
RL
(11)
RH is the upper resistor in the divider at the high voltage side, RL is the resistor to GND.

In this case CH is the upper capacitor in the divider at the high voltage side, CL is the capacitor to GND.
Protection
The overcurrent protection comparator (OCP) is typically used to monitor output current but can be configured to
monitor any voltage. The comparator uses the internal reference voltage VREF as a fixed threshold. Any voltage
above the internal reference voltage at OCP for more than 4 clock cycles of the main oscillator causes the
comparator to trip and generate a fault. The comparator only will trip with positive voltages above the internal
reference voltage at applied to OCP. Although the input can withstand higher negative voltages there is no
rectification implemented.
Compensating the Current and Voltage Regulators
The compensation networks for current and voltage regulators are connected between the negative inputs and
the outputs of the respecive amplifier. At the current amplifier the pins are CAM (input) and CAO (output). At the
voltage amplifier VAM (input) and VAO (output) are used. The compensation network must have a dominating
capacitive characteristic, since the error amplifiers are also used for smoothing the half wave rectified feedback
input signal. capacitors in parallel with resistor and capacitor in series or just capacitors are recommended. In
typical applications a 2200 pF capacitor at the current amplifier and a 0.022 μF capacitor at the voltage amplifier
can be used.
Synchronized Burst Dimming
To configure the device for synchronized burst dimming the dimming PWM signal must be connected directly to
the BC logic input pin. The controller will turn the lamp on and off, following directly the PWM pulses applied at
BC regarding frequency, phase and duty cycle. The slopes of the lamp current are controlled internally. The other
pins used for configuring burst dimming, BBR and BF should have a defined state as well. It is recommended to
connect BBR to 5 V (V5) and to connect BF to GND.
Independent Burst Dimming
In this configuration the device generates the low dimming frequency and the duty cycle internally. To use this
feature the BC pin should be connected to GND. A capacitor connected to BF is used to program the frequency
of the low frequency oscillator. The capacitance necessary to program a given burst dimming frequency can be
calculated using Equation 13:
C BF + 4.7 mF Hz
fD
(13)
CBF is the capacitor required to be connected between BF and GND and fD is the low frequency oscillator
frequency which should be programmed. For example a 0.047 μF capacitor is needed to program a burst
frequency of 100 Hz.
To program the burst duty cycle a voltage at BBR is used. The duty cycle can be calculated using Equation 14:
D B + VBBR 50 %
V
(14)
DB is the resulting burst duty cycle and VBBR is the voltage applied at the BBR pin. The operating voltage range
for duty cycle programming is 0 V to 2 V. 0 V at BBR will program 0% burst duty cycle and 2 V will program
100% burst duty cycle.

Phase Shifted Burst Dimming
The device also supports phase shifted burst dimming. In this configuration a direct PWM burst signal is used
which must be connected to BC. The internal low frequency oscillator must be programmed as described in the
independent burst dimming section and in Equation 13. Since the internal low frequency oscillator will be
synchronized to the frequency connected to BC it is recommended to program the internal low frequency close to
the frequency at BC. The synchronization is done using a PLL circuit. This PLL circuit needs an external
compensation network connected at BBR. For a typical burst frequency in the 100 Hz range using a 0.68 μF
capacitor in series with a 100 kΩ resistor is recommended. This R - C network should be connected between
BBR and GND.
The phase shift of the dimming burst compared to the input signal at BC is programmed with a voltage applied at
PH. The resulting phase shift can be calculated using Equation 15:
f B + VPH
180
o
V
(15)
φB is the phase shift of the dimming burst and VPH is the voltage applied at the PH pin.
Layout Considerations
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents
and high switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show stability problems as
well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current path and for the power ground
tracks. Use a common ground node for power ground and a different one for control ground to minimize the
effects of ground noise. Connect these ground nodes at any place close to one of the ground pins of the IC.
To layout the control ground, it is recommended to use short traces as well, separated from the power ground
traces. This avoids ground shift problems, which can occur due to superimposition of power ground current and
control ground current.
THERMAL INFORMATION
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added
heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the powerdissipation limits of a given component.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below.
• Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
• Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB
• Introducing airflow in the system
The maximum recommended junction temperature (TJ) of the TPS68000 device is 125°C. The thermal resistance
of the 30-pin TSSOP package (PW) is RθJA = 63.9°C/W. Specified regulator operation is assured to a maximum
ambient temperature TA of 85°C. Therefore, the maximum power dissipation is about 626 mW. More power can
be dissipated if the maximum ambient temperature of the application is lower.
