MAX8759 Datasheet (Maxim Integrated Products)

MAX8759, CCFL Backlight Controller

The MAX8759 integrated cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) inverter controller is designed to drive CCFLs using a full-bridge resonant inverter.

The resonant operation ensures reliable striking and provides near-sinusoidal waveforms over the entire input range.

The controller operates over a wide i

MAX8759 Features

* that effectively protect against single-point fault conditions such as lamp-out, secondary overvoltage, and secondary short-circuit faults. The MAX8759 provides accurate lamp-current regulation (±2.5%) for superior CCFL inverter performance. The lamp current is adjustable with an external resistor;
