description ated noise. this topology simultaneously performs three tasks consisting of line volt- age regulation, lamp current regulation, and lamp dimming in a single power stage made up of one pair of low loss fet's. the fet's drive an lc resonant circuit that feeds the primary of a high voltage trans- former with a sinusoidal voltage. required l and c values in the resonant circuit are such that very low loss compo- nents can be used to obtain higher electri- cal efficiency than is possible with previ- ous topologies. the half bridge LXM1598-01 is optimized to efficiently operate with up to 4 watt lamps over the full 10v to 14v input volt- age range. the modules are equipped with a dim- ming input that permits full range bright- ness control from an external potentiom- ete r , and a sleep input that r educes mod- ule power to a few microwatts in shut down mode. all modules featu r e output open and short circuit protection. LXM1598-01 ccfl (cold cathode florescent lamp) inverter modules are specifically de- signed for driving lcd back light lamps in applications where dimmability, ultrahigh efficiency, high light output, low noise emissions, reliable fail safe design, and small form factors are critical parameters. both monochrome and color displays are supported. the modules convert unregulated dc voltage from the system battery or ac adapter directly to high-frequency, high- voltage sine waves required to ignite and operate ccfl lamps. the module design is based on a proprietary linfinity ic that provides important new performance ad- vances. remarkable improvements in efficiency and rf emissions result from its single stage resonant inverter featuring a patent pend- ing curr ent synchr onous, zero voltage switching (cs-zvs) topology. cs-zvs pro- duces nearly pure sine wave currents in the lamp enabling maximum light delivery while reducing both conducted and radi- product highlight b acklight i nverter l ight o utput e fficiency c omparison computer 1 computer 2 computer 3 stock linfinity 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 eff (nits / watt) 12v ccfl i nve r t e r m odules not recommended for new designs t he i nfinite p ower of i nnovation LXM1598-01 lin d oc #: 1598 p atent p ending copyright ? 1998 rev. 0.8a 10/00 1 11861 w estern a venue , g arden g rove , ca. 92841, 714-898-8121, f ax : 714-893-2570 l in f inity m icroelectronics i nc . important: for the most current data, consult linfinity's web site: http://www.linfinity.com. key features n 15 to 30% more light output n closed loop, fully regulating design n 10v to 14v input voltage range n versatile brightness control input n 3 microamp sleep current n output short circuit protection and automatic over-voltage limiting n 8mm max. height, narrow footprints applications nn nn n notebook and sub-notebook computers n personal digital assistants n portable instrumentation n automotive displays n desktop displays n airline entertainment centers benefits n ultra-high efficiency, line voltage regulation and sleep mode extend computer battery life n cool operation permits close proximity to lcd panel without display distortion n smooth, full-range brightness control gives your product a high quality image n low emi / rfi design minimizes shielding requirements n narrow, low-profile standard modules fit into most lcd enclosures LXM1598-01 10v - 14v input module order info

(0 - 20v, 0 - 2a) 3) the target notebook or lcd panel. 4) a tektronix j1803 luminance head. 5) a tektronix j17 luminance color photometer. 6) a non-contact infrared temperature sensor (i.e. fluke 80t-ir) with a mv meter. measurement setup figure 2 shows the connection diagram for light output mea- surements. the photometer luminance head (j1803) is posi- tioned directly in the center of the lcd screen. for best re- sults open an application such as the paintbrush program and choose the maximized view so that the entire screen is "white". after application of the power to the ccfl wait at least 30 minutes to allow for the lamp and light output to stabilize. at lxm1598 brite lamp hi v in sleep lamp lo gnd ccfl tube 12v dc 13k v cc o n / off 100k cmos agnd v ref lxm1598 brite lamp hi v in sleep lamp lo gnd ccfl tube 12v dc on/off cmos logic cmos pwm logic signal period pwm pulse width 10sec period 100sec 0 pulse width period figure 2 pwm brightness control
