tions. The DS3984 supports configurations of 1 to 4
lamps, and multiple DS3984 controllers can be cascad-
ed to support applications requiring more than 4 lamps.

Note 1:
All voltages are referenced to ground, unless otherwise noted. Currents into the IC are positive, out of the IC negative.
Note 2:
During fault conditions, the AC-coupled feedback values are allowed to be outside the Absolute Max Rating of the LCM or
OVD pin for up to 1 second.
Note 3:
Voltage with respect to VDCB.
Note 4:
This is the minimum pulse width guaranteed to generate an output burst, which will generate the DS3984’s minimum burst
duty cycle. This duty cycle may be greater than the duty cycle of the PSYNC input. Once the duty cycle of the PSYNC
input is greater than the DS3984’s minimum duty cycle, the output’s duty cycle will track the PSYNC’s duty cycle. Leaving
PSYNC low (0% duty cycle) disables the GAn and GBn outputs in DPWM Slave mode.
Note 5:
This is the maximum lamp frequency duty cycle that will be generated at any of the GAn or GBn outputs.
Note 6:
I
2
C interface timing shown is for fast-mode (400kHz) operation. This device is also backward compatible with I
2
C stan-
dard-mode timing.
Note 7:
After this period, the first clock pulse can be generated.
Note 8:
CB—total capacitance allowed on one bus line in picofarads.
Note 9:
EEPROM write time applies to all the EEPROM memory. EEPROM write begins after a stop condition occurs.
Note 10:
Guaranteed by design.
