 COMPANY RangeMAX™ LXM1622-12-xx DUAL 5W, DIGITAL DIMMING CCFL INVERTER MODULE P RELIMINARY D ATA S HEET RangeMAX™ Wide Range Dimming, Dual Output Inverter. The LMX1622 series of Direct Drive CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Modules are specifically designed for driving two lamp LCD displays. They are available in two power and input voltage ranges. LMX1622 modules provide the designer with a vastly superior display brightness range. This brightness range is achievable with virtually any LCD display. RangeMAX Digital Dimming Technique. Digital dimming provides flicker-free brightness control in any wide range (100:1+) dimming application. The modules are available with a dimming input that permits brightness control from either a DC voltage source or a PWM signal.
 The resultant “burst drive” that energizes the lamp was designed specifically to ensure that no premature lamp degradation occurs (See the “How RangeMAX Works” section). Input Voltage Range. The modules convert the DC voltage from a fixed 12V supply directly to high frequency, highvoltage waves required to ignite and operate CCFL lamps. A 5V input inverter is also available; LXM1612-05 series. The Direct Drive Technology. modules design is based on a new Direct Drive topology, which provides a number of cost and performance advantages. Additional Features. Other benefits of this new topology are fixed-frequency operation, secondary-side strike-voltage regulation, and both open and shorted lamp protection. If lamp fails to strike the inverter will timeout and shutdown.

COM  !"  – 50% Burst Duty Cycle Rather than using the traditional dimming technique of varying lamp current magnitude to adjust light output, RangeMAX inverters use a fixed lamp current value with a duty cycle control method. The lamp current burst width can be modulated from 100% (continuous lamp current) down to a 5% duty cycle, allowing the lamp to be dimmed to less than 3% of its full brightness. As can be seen in Trace 4 of Figure 3 photo at right, careful design consideration was given to controlling lamp start voltage to softly start current flow. This eliminates current overshoot that can result in premature cathode wear and reduce lamp life.  !" # – 5% Burst Duty Cycle  !" $ – 5% Burst Duty Cycle (Expanded Time Base) HIGHLIGHTS C o m p a ra to r V B R IT E Ramp 0 .2 5 2 .2 V D C + H ig h V o lta g e T ra n sfo rm e r V HI • LAM P Ramp G en.

This provides a familiar and convenient interface while reducing the potential for externally induced noise, which can cause lamp flicker. • RangeMAX inverter modules are designed to operate with the burst frequency synchronized to the video frame rate. This provides operation with no visible display disturbances caused by beat frequencies between the lamps and video frame rates. In this synchronous mode, the inverter burst rate operates at twice the video refresh rate, well beyond standard 50/60Hz video refresh rates where the eye can perceive pulsing light.

 HIGHLIGHTS (CONTINUED) W W W . Microsemi . COM • In applications with no access to a vertical sync, an onboard oscillator operates the inverter burst rate at about 270Hz. In this non-synchronous mode, minor display disturbances can be found under certain video conditions. This performance may be acceptable for many applications, but synchronization must be used when no disturbance can be tolerated. • Separate feedback loops for lamp current and open circuit voltage regulation insure reliable strike under all operating conditions, automatic over-voltage prevention with broken or failed lamps, and accurate lamp current regulation. • A single input will accommodate negative and positive vertical sync pulses at any pulse width.    The Brightness control may be a voltage output DAC, or other voltage source as shown in Figure 5. A 2.5V to 5V Logic Level PWM signal from a micro-controller may also be used as shown in Figure 5A. • If synchronization to the video frame rate is desired, connect the vertical sync pulse from the system video controller to the VSYNC input. If no video synchronization is desired, connect VSYNC to ground. C C F • If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect a 2.5V to 5V logic signal to the SLEEP input. If remote TUB ON/OFF is not needed, connect the SLEEP input to VIN or other voltage source between 2.5V and 5V. • 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. • + 12 V D C B R IT E V IN VHI L X M 1 6 2 2 -1 2 -xx B R IT E R T N 2 .5 S L EE P 5V V S YN C GND V LO 0 V S YN C F ig u re 5 - B rig h tn e ss C o n tro l PW M Sig na l fro m Syste m %&"   BR IT E Also available in single lamp inverters LXM1612-xxxx, 5V dual LXM1622-05-xx and Quad Output LXM1641-01 versions for multiple lamp applications.
