Full Bridge Resonant CCFL Controller
P RODUCTION D ATA S HEET
KEY FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LX1692A regulates the CCFL
brightness in three ways: analog
dimming, digital dimming, or combined
analog and digital dimming methods
simultaneously to achieve the widest
dimming range (> 60 to 1).
The LX1692A can accept a
brightness control signal that is either
an analog voltage or a direct low
frequency PWM.
The
LX1692A
also
features
integrated gate drivers for the four
external power MOSFETs.
An integrated 4V LDO powers all
internal control circuitry greatly
simplifying supply voltage requirements.
The LX1692A is available in a 20Pin TSSOP.

Microsemi’s LX1692A is a cost
reduced, third generation Direct Drive
CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp) controller. The integrated
controller is optimized to drive
CCFL’s using resonant full bridge
inverter topology.
Resonant full bridge topology
provides near sinusoidal waveforms
over a wide supply voltage range in
order to maximize the life of CCFL
lamps, control EMI emissions, and
maximize efficiency. This new architecture also provides a wide dimming
range.
The LX1692A includes safety
features that limit the transformer
secondary voltage and protect against
fault conditions which include open
lamp, broken lamp and short-circuit
faults.
BENEFITS
Even Display Light Distribution
Longer Lamp Life with Optimized
Lamp Current Amplitude
Reduced Operating Voltage
Lowers Corona Discharge and
Prolongs Module Life
High “Nits / Watt” Efficiency
Makes Less Heat and Brighter
Displays
