DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
W WW . Microsemi . C OM
The LXMG1618A-05-4x™ is a Single Output 4W Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Module designed for driving LCD backlight lamps. It is ideal for driving typically 8.4” to 12.1” panels. The maximum output current is externally programmable over a range of 5 to 6.5mA in 0.5mA steps (PanelMatch) to allow the inverter to properly match to a wide array of LCD panel lamp current specifications. The modules include a dimming input that permits brightness control from a DC voltage source, a PWM signal or an external potentiometer. LXMG1618A modules unlike the LXMG1617A series do not provide wide range ‘burst’ mode dimming, rather dimming is provided by amplitude control of the output current waveform, and this limits the potential dim range to typically less than 5:1. The module converts a DC voltage
from the system battery, or AC adapter directly to high frequency, high-voltage waveform required to ignite and operate CCFL lamps. A 12V input inverter is also available (LXMG1618A-12-4x). The LXMG1618A modules contain the newer highly integrated LX1691B CCFL backlight controller to provide a wider temperature range (-30°C to 80°C) compared to the existing solutions offered by Microsemi. 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. The new LXMG1618A (“A Series”) modules are designed therefore as a higher performance near drop-in replacement (see BRITE minimum input) for those customers and applications currently using the LXMG1618 inverters.

VHI LXMG1618A-05-4x CCFL TUBE
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 338k pull-up to typically 3V 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 2V divided by the logic high voltage level; with 3.3V logic level this corresponds to about 60% duty cycle for maximum lamp current. If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect to TTL logic signal to the SLEEP input. 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 an 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. 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 dim ratio is a factor of the peak output current, using this technique the effective dim ratio can be increased. 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 one second, after which (without success) the inverter will shutdown. Supply current draw in the shutdown mode is about 8mA. In order to restart the inverter it is necessary to toggle the sleep input or cycle the VIN input supply.
