THE INFINITE POWER OF INNOVATION
DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES
LXM1596-01 CCFL (cold cathode florescent
lamp) Inverter Modules are specifically designed 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, highvoltage sine waves required to ignite and
operate CCFL lamps. The module design
is based on a proprietary Linfinity IC that
provides important new performance advances.
Remarkable improvements in efficiency
and RF emissions result from its single stage
resonant inverter featuring a patent pend-

ing
Switching (CS-ZVS) topology. CS-ZVS produces nearly pure sine wave currents in
the lamp enabling maximum light delivery
while reducing both conducted and radi-

ated noise. This topology simultaneously
performs three tasks consisting of line voltage 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 transformer with a sinusoidal voltage.
Required L and C values in the resonant
circuit are such that very low loss components can be used to obtain higher electrical efficiency than is possible with previous topologies.
The half bridge LXM1596-01 is optimized
to efficiently operate with up to 4 watt
lamps over the full 7V to 30V input voltage range.
The modules are equipped with a dimming input that permits full range brightness control from an external potentiometer, and a sleep input that reduces module power to a few microwatts in shut down
mode.
All modules feature output open and
short circuit protection.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS (R.C.)
This module has been designed to operate over a wide range of input and output conditions. However, best efficiency and performance
will be obtained if the module is operated under the condition listed in the 'R.C.' column. Min. and Max. columns indicate values beyond
which the inverter, although operational, will not function optimally.
