Microsemi’s LX1691 is a cost
reduced, enhanced feature set, Direct
Drive CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp) Controller. Its architecture is
based on the very popular LX1689. By
limiting V
DDP
to 5.5V and using
advanced processing, die size and
package pin count is decreased while
improving dimming precision.
LX1691 based inverter modules can
be designed for virtually any CCFL
appliance from digital cameras and
PDA’s to big screen monitors and
driver viewable automotive displays.
New versatile dimming circuitry can
accept digital and analog control inputs
and provides six different dimming
modes that control both lamp current
amplitude and duty cycle, either simul-
taneously or separately. Designers can
select normal or reverse polarity
dimming and precisely program mini-
mum and maximum lamp currents with
resistors. The LX1691 fault shutdown
feature is enhanced to include regu-
lation and shutdown for over voltage
and over current conditions.
Microsemi’s proven and patented
Direct Drive architecture works with
system voltages from 3 volts to more
than 50 volts, limited only by the
external power FET’s that drive the high
voltage transformer.
The LX1691 includes the Microsemi
proven and patented strike method that
allows significant efficiency gains while
guaranteeing strong striking power at all
operating temperatures. Our method
sweeps
strike frequency smoothly up to
the unloaded resonant frequency of the
lamp and high voltage transformer.
This, coupled with the LX1691’s active
high output voltage regulation, produces
just enough strike voltage without
generating unpredictable high voltage
spikes that cause arcing and component
failures. Competitive devices that
simply
switch
to a higher frequency for
striking do not have this “real time”
control over output voltage, and require
much more attention to transformer
design.
