MP1026
CCFL Driver
For Handheld Display Applications
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP1026 is a Power IC that offers a
complete solution for driving a Cold Cathode
Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL). This Power IC
converts unregulated DC voltage to a nearly
pure sine wave required to ignite and operate
the CCFL.
The MP1026 greatly increases power
conversion efficiency and supports both analog
and burst mode dimming, simplifying the module
implementation. The MP1026 offers the
following distinct performance advantages:
•
•
•
•
More light for less power
Small board implementation
Low RF emission
Low external components cost

MP1026 – CCFL DRIVER FOR HANDHELD DISPLAY APPLICATIONS
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Brightness Control
The MP1026 can operate in three modes:
Analog Mode, Burst Mode with a DC input, or
Burst Mode with an external PWM. The three
modes are dependent on the pin connections
as per Table 1.
Choosing the required burst repetition
frequency can be achieved by an RC
combination, as defined below. The MP1026
has a soft on and soft off feature to reduce
noise, when using burst mode dimming.
1. Select a Minimum Duty Cycle (D
MIN
). This is
the ratio T
FALL
/ (T
FALL
+ T
RISE
) for the burst
oscillator.
For example: 10%
2. Determine Rbosc by the formula:

Brightness Polarity:
Burst: 100% duty cycle is at 1.8V
Analog: 1.9V is maximum brightness
Fault Protection
Open Lamp: The VLFB pin (#18) is used to
detect whether an open lamp condition has
occurred. During normal operation the VLFB pin
is typically at 5V DC with an AC swing of ±2.5V.
If an open lamp condition exists then the AC
voltage on the VLFB line will swing below zero
volts. When that occurs, the IC regulates the
VLFB voltage to 10V p-p and a 1µA current
source will inject into the FT pin. If the voltage
at the FT pin exceeds 1.2V, then the chip will
shut down.
Excessive Secondary Current (Shorted Lamp
and UL safety specs): The ISFB pin (#19) is
used to detect whether excessive secondary
current has occurred. During normal operation
the peak ISFB voltage is below 1.2V. If a fault
condition occurs that increases the secondary
current, then the voltage at ISFB will be greater
than 1.2V. When that occurs, a 120µA current
source will inject into the FT pin. If the voltage
at the FT pin exceeds 1.2V, then the chip will
shut down.
The following is the design reference for the
secondary winding current.
Sensing network: Rsfb, Risb, Csfb and Cisb.

3. Select a burst frequency and find T

where:
T

= 1/burst frequency.
Then determine Cbosc by the formula:

values are taken from the UL60950 safety
requirement.
