GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OZ965 is a single chip, high-efficiency, Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) backlight
inverter controller whose primary function is to
convert +5 volt DC power to approximately 600
VAC. Additionally, the OZ965 performs the lamp

OZ965
dimming function with an analog voltage or low
frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
control.
Operating Principle:
The CCFL tube, transformer secondary, and
capacitor form a resonant circuit. The OZ965
utilizes the low energy loss resonate mode
principle to deliver a very high efficiency inverter.
The OZ965 drives the transformer primary with a
variable pulse width voltage directly from the +5v
supply. The resultant primary drive current is
alternately reversing with zero-voltage-switching.
Because of the transformer leakage inductance
and the secondary resonant circuit, the
secondary voltage and current are approximately
sinusoidal. This sinusoid results in very little
harmonic emi/rfi emissions.
The OZ965 operates at a single, constant
frequency in a PWM mode. Typical operating
frequency ranges between 30 KHz to 200 KHz,
dependent upon the CCFL and transformer
characteristics. Intelligent open-lamp protection
provides design flexibility so various transformer
models/manufacturers may be used.
Its high driving capability allows the OZ965 to
drive high power MOSFETs.
The single stage design results in a low cost,
reliable transformer without expensive, less
reliable secondary fold-back treatment. The
transformer does not require a more expensive
center tapped primary.
The OZ965 is available in 16-pin SOP and
TSSOP packages. It is specified over the
commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C,
and the industrial temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK
DIAGRAM
Refer to the functional block diagram in Figure 2,
below, and the Pin Description Table on page 3.
Power is transferred to the transformer primary
by the N-MOSFET, driven by the MOSFET gate
driver out of pin NDR. The P-MOSFET resets the
primary field, driven by pin PDR. The usual
design results in approximately 50% duty cycle at
full lamp intensity. Terminating the NDR signal
earlier than the full brightness lamp pulse width
performs lamp dimming, using the analog
dimming. The voltages on pins HCLMP and
LCLMP set a threshold voltage for the ramp
comparator setting the maximum duty cycle for
NDR.
A pulse generator circuit creates the clock signal
with the frequency determined by an external,
constant current setting resistor (RT) and timing
capacitor (CT).
The “soft-start” circuit ensures a reliable and long
lamp life starting condition.

“Soft start” gradually increases the energy
delivered to the secondary.
When the OZ965 is enabled at pin ENA, the
capacitor on pin SST determines the duration of
the “soft-start” period, gradually increasing the
NDR pulse width to the regulated brightness. The
“soft-start” period provides sufficient time for the
lamp to ignite.
For system reliability there are several circuit
protections provided. To ensure a controlled
output, the secondary current is monitored on pin
FB and is compared to a reference voltage on pin
ADJ. The NDR signal is shortened or lengthened
dependent upon this feedback. Protection is
provided by the resultant signal, CMP, monitoring
for a lamp removal condition. Short circuit
protection is provided at pin SCP. The OPS
signal selects either HCLMP or LCLMP providing
current protection against an “Open Lamp”
condition at start-up. The OPS signal also allows
adjustment to different transformer models.
To reduce power dissipation, the switch
(MOSFET) drive signals are “break-before-make”
with a short, fixed off time between activation of
NDR or PDR.
