General Description
The MAX1739/MAX1839 fully integrated controllers are
optimized to drive cold-cathode fluorescent lamps
(CCFLs) using the industry-proven Royer oscillator
inverter architecture. The Royer architecture provides
near sinusoidal drive waveforms over the entire input
range to maximize the life of CCFLs. The MAX1739/
MAX1839 optimize this architecture to work over a wide
input voltage range, achieve high efficiency, and maxi-
mize the dimming range.
The MAX1739/MAX1839 monitor and limit the trans-
former center-tap voltage when required. This ensures
minimal voltage stress on the transformer, which
increases the operating life of the transformer and
eases its design requirements. These controllers also
provide protection against many other fault conditions,
including lamp-out and buck short faults.
These controllers achieve 50:1 dimming range by
simultaneously adjusting lamp current and “chopping”
the CCFL on and off using a digitally adjusted pulse-
width modulated (DPWM) method. CCFL brightness is
controlled by an analog voltage or is set with an
SMBus
TM
-compatible two-wire interface (MAX1739).
The MAX1739/MAX1839 drive an external high-side
N-channel power MOSFET and two low-side N-channel
power MOSFETs, all synchronized to the Royer oscilla-
tor. An internal 5.3V linear regulator powers the MOS-
FET drivers and most of the internal circuitry. The
MAX1739/MAX1839 are available in space-saving
20-pin QSOP packages and operate over the -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.

ANALOG INTERFACE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
(MODE connected to REF or MODE connected to GND)
Note 1:
Corresponds to 512 DPWM cycles or 65536 MODE
cycles.
Note 2:
When the buck switch is shorted, V
CTFB
goes high
causing V
CCV
to go below the fault detection threshold.
Note 3:
Corresponds to 64 DPWM cycles or 8192 MODE cycles.
Note 4:
The MODE pin thresholds are only valid while the part is
operating. In shutdown, V
REF
= 0 and the part only
differentiates between SMB mode and ADC mode. In
shutdown with ADC mode selected, the CRF/SDA and
CTL/SCL pins are at high impedance and will not cause
extra supply current when their voltages are not at
GND or VL.
Note 5:
The amplitude is measured with the following circuit:
V
AMPLITUDE
> 2V
500pF
MODE
10k
Note 6:
Specifications from -40°C to +85°C are guaranteed by
design, not production tested.
