LX1692A Datasheet | Microsemi

DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES . Microsemi . C OM Microsemi’s LX1692A is a cost reduced, third generation Direct Drive CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) controller. The integrated controller is optimized to drive CCFL’s using resonant full bridge inverter topology. Resonant full bridge topology provides near sinusoidal waveforms over a wide supply voltage range in order to maximize the life of CCFL lamps, control EMI emissions, and maximize efficiency. This new architecture also provides a wide dimming range. The LX1692A includes safety features that limit the transformer secondary voltage and protect against fault conditions which include open lamp, broken lamp and short-circuit faults. The LX1692A regulates the CCFL brightness in three ways: analog dimming, digital dimming, or bined analog and digital dimming methods simultaneously to achieve the widest dimming range (> 60 to 1). The LX1692A can accept a brightness control signal that is either an analog voltage or a direct low frequency PWM. The LX1692A also features integrated gate drivers for the four external power MOSFETs. An integrated 4V LDO powers all internal control circuitry greatly simplifying supply voltage requirements. The LX1692A is available in a 20Pin TSSOP. IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://.microsemi.
