DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1186F is a fixed frequency, current mode, switch-
ing regulator that provides the control function for Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lighting (CCFL). The IC includes an
efficient high current switch, an oscillator, output drive
logic, control circuitry and a micropower 8-bit 50µA full-
scale current output DAC. The DAC provides simple “bits-
to-lamp current control” and communicates in two inter-

The LT1186F control circuitry operates from a logic supply
voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The IC also has a battery supply
voltage pin that operates from 4.5V to 30V. The LT1186F
draws 6mA typical quiescent current. An active low shut-
down pin reduces total supply current to 35µA for standby
operation and the DAC retains its last setting. A 200kHz
switching frequency minimizes magnetic component size.
Current mode switching techniques with cycle-by-cycle
limiting gives high reliability and simple loop frequency
compensation. The LT1186F is available in a 16-pin nar-
row SO package.

is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power

+ (P

Note 2:
Does not include switch leakage.
Note 3:
For duty cycles (DC) between 50% and 80%, minimum
guaranteed switch current is given by I
LIM
= 1.4(1.393 – DC) for the
LT1186F due to internal slope compensation circuitry.
Note 4:
Timings for all input signals are measured at 0.8V for a High-to-
