MAX8709/MAX8709A
The MAX8709/MAX8709A integrated backlight controller
are optimized to drive cold-cathode fluorescent lamps
(CCFLs) using a resonant full-bridge inverter architecture.
The resonant operation maximizes striking capability and
provides near-sinusoidal waveforms over the entire input
range to improve CCFL lifetime. The controller operates
over a wide input voltage range of 4.6V to 28V with high
power-to-light efficiency. The device also includes safety
features that effectively protect against many single-point
fault conditions including lamp-out and short-circuit faults.
The MAX8709/MAX8709A achieve 10:1 dimming range
by “chopping” the lamp current on and off using a digital
pulse-width-modulation (DPWM) method. The minimum
DPWM duty cycle of the MAX8709 is 9.375% and the
minumum duty cycle of the MAX8709A is 12.5%. The
brightness is controlled with a 2-wire SMBus™-compati-
ble interface. The device directly drives the four external
N-channel power MOSFETs of the full-bridge inverter. An
internal 5.3V linear regulator powers the MOSFET dri-
vers, the DPWM oscillator, and most of the internal cir-
cuitry. The MAX8709/MAX8709A are available in a
space-saving 28-pin thin QFN package and operates
over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
