The LXMG1626-12-67¹ is a 10W dual
Output
Direct Drive™
CCFL (Cold Cathode
Fluorescent
Lamp)
Inverter
Module
specifically designed to be compatible with a
variety of LCD panels the have both lamps
on one side of the panel and use a single
common lamp return wire.
LXMG1626 modules provide the
designer with a vastly superior display
brightness range. This brightness range is
achievable with virtually any LCD display.
The modules are available with a
dimming input that permits brightness
control from a Direct Current voltage source,
a PWM signal, or external Potentiometer.
The maximum output current is
externally programmable (through the input
connector) over a range of 10 to 14mA in
steps. This allows the inverter to match the
panel’s lamp current specifications, or it can
be used to purposely drive the lamps at a
lower or higher current to decrease or
increase nominal brightness.
RangeMAX™ Digital Dimming Technique
provides flicker-free brightness control in any
wide range typically (100:1+) dimming
application.
The design of the resultant “burst drive”
that energizes the lamp specifically ensures
that no premature lamp degradation occurs,
while allowing significant power savings at
lower dim levels.
The modules convert DC voltage from
the system battery or AC adapter directly to
high frequency, high-voltage waves
required to ignite and operate CCFL lamps.
The
modules
design
utilizes
Microsemi’s LX1691B backlight controller,
which provides a number of cost and
performance advantages due to the
controller’s high level of integration. A 5V
input supply version (LXMG1626-05-67) is
also available.
Other benefits of this new topology are
stable
fixed-frequency
operation,
secondary-side strike-voltage regulation and
both open/shorted lamp protection with
fault timeout.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS (R.C.)
This module has been designed to operate over a wide range of input and output conditions. However, best efficiency and performance
will be obtained if the module is operated under the condition listed in the ‘R.C.’ column. Min. and Max. columns indicate values beyond
which the inverter, although operational, will not function optimally.

The brightness control may be a voltage output DAC or
other voltage source, a digital pot or 500K manual pot. The
inverter contains an internal 215K pull-up to 3V to bias the
pot. A 3.3V Logic Level PWM signal from a micro-
controller may also be used as shown in Figure 1A.
If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect
to TTL logic signal to the
SLEEP
input.
Connect V
HI1
and V
HI2
to high voltage wires from the
lamps. Connect V
LO
to the low voltage wire lamp return
(wire with thinner insulation). Never connect V
LO
to
circuit ground, as this will defeat lamp current regulation.
If both lamp wires have heavy high voltage insulation,
connect the longest wire to V
LO
. This wire is typically
white.
Use the SET
1
and SET
2
(see Figure 2) inputs to select the
desired maximum output current. Using these two pins in
combination allows the inverter to match a wide variety of
panels from different manufactures. Generally, the best
lamp lifetime correlates with driving the CCFL at the
manufactures nominal current setting. However, the SET
1
and SET
2
inputs allow the user the flexibility to adjust the
current to the maximum allowable output current to
increase panel brightness at the expense of some reduced
lamp life.
Although the SET pins are designed such that just leaving
them open or grounding them is all that is needed to set the
output current, they can also be actively set. Using an open
collector or open drain logic signal will allow you to
reduce the lamp current for situations where greater dim
range is required, as an example in nighttime situations. In
conjunction with a light sensor or other timer the panel
could be set to higher brightness (maximum output
current) for daytime illumination and lower brightness
(minimum or typical output current) at nighttime. Since
the dim ratio is a factor of both the burst duty cycle and the
peak output current, using this technique the effective dim
ratio can be increased greater than the burst duty cycle
alone. Conversely, the SET inputs could be used to
overdrive the lamp temporarily to facilitate faster lamp
warm up at initial lamp turn on. Of course, any possible
degradation on lamp life from such practices is the users
responsibility since not all lamps are designed to be
overdriven.
The inverter has a built in fault timeout function. If both
outputs are open (lamps disconnected or broken) or shorted
to ground the inverter will attempt to strike the lamp for
number of cycles. After about one to two seconds without
success the inverter, will shutdown. In order to restart the
inverter it is necessary to toggle the SLEEP input or cycle
the V
IN1
input supply.
