KEY FEATURES
WWW .Microsemi .C OM
LXM1614E series of Direct DriveTM CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Inverter Modules is specifically designed for driving LCD backlight lamps. Although similar to the RangeMAX LXM1612 wide range dimming inverters, the LXM1614E family offers two separate brightness controls for lamp current amplitude and duty cycle. This innovation of dual brightness control with extended dimming, combined with Microsemi's high efficiency Direct Drive topology, provides the industry's most feature rich, small form factor inverter available. The wide range dimming provides exceptional display readability at less than 1% of full brightness, allowing both power savings and low ambient light operating capability.
The adjustments utilizing standard lamp current amplitude control as well as supporting Microsemi's RangeMAX wide range dimming technique. Combining both brightness controls into a single inverter supports the "self heating" lamp technology by using a "boost" current feature and still offers duty cycle control for low brightness operation. This controlled overdrive capability eliminates the need for traditional resistive heater wire methods to ensure light output at extremely low temperatures. The LXM1614E brightness controls support temperature monitoring with look-up table applications by accepting either a PWM input or DC voltage. Large panel lamps with greater thermal inertia can also utilize this "instant-bright" feature and minimize warm up time.

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED) Direct Drive Technology. An on-board thermister monitors the inverter's relative The module design is based on the Direct Drive topology, temperature and limits the maximum allowable lamp current. This current limit automatically protects the lamp which provides a number of cost, performance, and form and inverter as a function of temperature, which helps factor advantages. The LXM1614E series inverters eliminate the classic resonant inductor/capacitors and integrate the control the system during Boost mode. wide range dimming logic into the controller. RangeMAX Digital Dimming Technique.
WWW .Microsemi .C OM
Digital dimming provides flicker-free brightness control in any wide range dimming application. With many panels dimming ratios greater than 100:1 can be achieved. A video synchronization feature allows wide ratio dimming without the display disturbances and interference seen with competitive products. The resultant "burst drive" that energized the lamp was designed specifically to ensure that no premature lamp degradation occurs. Even in overdrive boost mode, the waveform is carefully controlled to minimize the effects that are detrimental to lamp life. Individual panel specifications should be referenced for specific thermal and electrical parameters.
Additional Features.
Other benefits of this new topology are fixed-frequency operation and secondary-side strike-voltage regulation. Strike-voltage regulation minimizes corona discharge in the output transformer and related circuitry, providing longer life and higher reliability. All LXM1614E modules feature both open and shorted lamp protection. The dual drive LXM1614E is fully customizable (electronically and mechanically) to specific customer requirements.

*
Integrated dual brightness control circuit includes a DC voltage to pulse width converter that minimizes system design work and system noise susceptibility. This provides a familiar and convenient interface while reducing the potential for externally induced noise, which can cause lamp flicker. * RangeMAX inverter modules are designed to operate with the burst frequency synchronized to the video frame rate. This provides operation with no visible display disturbances caused by beat frequencies between the lamps and video frame rates. In this synchronous mode, the inverter burst rate operates at twice the video refresh rate, well beyond standard 50/60Hz video refresh rates where the eye can perceive pulsing light. The frequency at the VSYNC input will affect the minimum dimming level. Generally, the potential dimming (or brightness) range is inversely proportional to the VSYNC frequency.
*
In applications with no access to a vertical sync, an onboard oscillator operates the inverter burst rate at about 170Hz. In this non-synchronous mode, minor display disturbances can be found under certain video conditions. This performance may be acceptable for many applications, but synchronization must be used when no disturbance can be tolerated. * Separate feedback loops for lamp current and open circuit voltage regulation insure reliable strike under all operating conditions, automatic over-voltage prevention with broken or failed lamps, and accurate lamp current regulation. * A single input will accommodate negative and positive vertical sync pulses at any pulse width.

Figure 2
- LXM1614E Combines Current Amplitude and Digital Techniques
The lamp current burst width can be modulated from 100% (continuous lamp current) down to a 2% duty cycle, allowing the lamp to be dimmed to less than 2% of its full brightness As can be seen in Trace 4 of Figure 5, careful design consideration was given to controlling lamp start voltage to softly start current flow. This eliminates current overshoot that can result in premature cathode wear and reduce lamp life.
The LXM1614E provides both lamp current amplitude control (BOOST) and a brightness control (BRITE) for dimming. Please see following sections for dimming and amplitude boost control. To achieve extremely wide dimming ranges, rather than only using the traditional dimming technique of varying lamp current magnitude to adjust light output, RangeMAX inverters utilize a fixed lamp current value with a duty cycle control method.

DUAL DIMMING CAPABILITY
WWW .Microsemi .C OM
As seen in the Brightness vs. Time graphs, the boost mode operation can improve the performance of cold cathode florescent lamps in any LCD application by reducing the time it takes to warm up lamps to their optimum operating temperature. This feature is helpful in large LCD multi-lamp monitors as well as automotive or industrial extreme temperature applications.
The "boost" control provides a timed overdrive mode to maximize light output over temperature. After a panel is characterized with a profile of the user's application (such as desired light output as a function of ambient light and temperature), the appropriate boost level, and duration of the boost can be set. Further wide range dimming control is provided by the Brite input dimming function.

WIDE RANGE DIMMING FUNCTION AMPLITUDE BOOST FUNCTION
WWW .Microsemi .C OM
Dimming can be controlled by a DC voltage (like a voltage output DAC) or by a PWM signal (5V logic level PWM signal from a micro controller). The PWM signal should be 400Hz to 4kHz, 0V to 5V, 0% to 100% duty cycle.
The Boost Function Control signal levels are the same as the Dimming Control. Less than 0.5V provides 4mA maximum lamp current while 4.5V on Boost provides "max boost" with a max lamp current of 9mA. Please note that these maximum lamp current levels are protected by the onboard thermistor, which limits the maximum lamp current automatically as a function of temperature as seen in Figure 9.

The BRITE/BOOST control may be a voltage output DAC, or other voltage source as shown in Figure 11. A 5V Logic Level PWM signal from a micro-controller may also be used as shown in Figure 12. * If synchronization to the video frame rate is desired, connect the vertical sync pulse from the system video controller to the VSYNC input. If no video synchronization is desired, connect VSYNC to ground. * If you need to turn the inverter ON/OFF remotely, connect a 2.4V to 5V logic signal to the SLEEP input. If remote ON/OFF is not needed, connect the SLEEP input to VIN or other voltage source between 2.4V and 5V. * Connect VOUT1 to the high voltage supply wire from the lamp.
