The LXMG1626-05-45 is a Dual 6W
Output Direct Drive™ CCFL (Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter
Module specifically designed to be
compatible with variety of LCD panels
that have both lamps on one side of the
panel and use a single common lamp
return wire.
LXMG1626 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,
a PWM signal or external potentiometer.
The maximum output current is
externally programmable (through the
input connector) at either 10mA or 12mA
(5mA or 6mA per lamp). This allows the
inverter to match the panel’s lamp current
specifications, or it can be used to
purposely drive the lamps at a lower or
higher current to decrease or increase
nominal brightness. The inverter also has
a dedicated FAULT pin that indicates an
open/shorted lamp condition.
In addition when only one of the two
lamps in the LCD fails open, the second
lamp will continue to operate with a
FAULT signal toggling to indicate the
failed condition, StayLit™feature.
RangeMAX
Digital
Dimming
Technique
provides
flicker-free
brightness control in any wide range
typically (100:1+) dimming application.
The resultant “burst drive” that
energizes the lamp is designed
specifically to ensure that no premature
lamp degradation occurs, while allowing
significant power savings at lower dim
levels.
The design utilizes Microsemi’s
highly integrated LX1691B backlight
controller to convert DC voltage from the
system battery or AC adapter directly to
high frequency, high-voltage waves
required to ignite and operate CCFL
lamps.
Other benefits of this new topology
are stable fixed-frequency operation,
secondary-side strike-voltage regulation
and both open/shorted lamp protection
with fault timeout.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS (R.C.)
This module has been designed to operate over a wide range of input and output conditions. However, best efficiency and performance
will be obtained if the module is operated under the condition listed in the ‘R.C.’ column. Min. and Max. columns indicate values beyond
which the inverter, although operational, will not function optimally.

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 215k pull-up to 3V to bias the
pot. A 3.3V Logic Level PWM signal from a micro-
controller may also be used as shown in Figure 1A.
If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect
to TTL logic signal to the
SLEEP
input.

Connect V

and V

to high voltage wires from the
lamps. Connect V
LO
to the low voltage wire lamp return
(wire with thinner insulation). Never connect V
LO
to circuit
ground as this will defeat lamp current regulation.
Use the SET input to program the desired maximum output
current. Generally the best lamp lifetime correlates with
driving the CCFL at the manufactures nominal current
setting.
Typically the SET pin is permanently wired to ground or
intentionally left open. However it can also be actively
driven, using an open collector, or open drain logic signal.
This will allow dynamic adjustment of 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 dimming ratio is a
factor of both the burst duty cycle and the peak output
current, by using this technique the effective dim ratio can
be increased greater than what the burst duty cycle alone
could provide. Conversely, the SET input could be used to
overdrive the lamp current. Of course, any possible
degradation of lamp life from such practices is the user’s
responsibility since not all lamps are designed to be under
or overdriven.
Input connector (CN1-8) FAULT signal which is normally
low will toggle high to indicate that an output fault
condition has occurred as summarized in the table to the left
figure 2. FAULT will toggle high if one or both lamps are
open or short circuited. If only one lamp opens, or its high
side shorts to ground then the other lamp should continue to
operate with the FAULT signal going high. If both lamps
open and/or both lamps are shorted the FAULT will toggle
high if it is not already high and the inverter output will
shutdown. Also if either low side connection of the lamps
is shorted to ground, or the lamps are shorted high side to
low side, FAULT will go high and the inverter will
shutdown. In order to restart the inverter after a fault it is
necessary to toggle the
SLEEP
input or cycle the V
IN
input
supply. In fault induced shutdown mode the inverter will
draw about 15mA from V
IN
supply.
