Two-Channel, Push-Pull CCFL Controller
General Description
The DS3992 is a low-cost, two-channel controller for cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) that are used to backlight liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The DS3992 can drive multiple CCFLs per channel, making it ideal for 4- and 6-lamp LCD PC monitor and TV applications. The DS3992 uses a push-pull drive scheme to convert a DC voltage (5V to 24V) to the high voltage (300VRMS to 1400VRMS) AC waveform that is required to power the CCFLs. The push-pull drive scheme uses a minimal number of external ponents, which reduces ponent and assembly cost and makes the printed circuit board (PC board)...
