varying lamp current magnitude to adjust light output,
RangeMAX inverters use a fixed lamp current value with a duty
cycle control method.
(continuous lamp current) down to a 2% duty cycle, allowing the
lamp to be dimmed to less than 1% of its full brightness.
design consideration was given to controlling lamp start voltage
to softly start current flow. This eliminates current overshoot
that can result in premature cathode wear and reduce lamp life.

Integrated brightness control circuit includes a DC
voltage to pulse width converter that minimizes system
design work and system noise susceptibility.
provides a familiar and convenient interface while
reducing the potential for externally induced noise, which
can cause lamp flicker.
RangeMAX inverter modules are designed to operate
with the burst frequency synchronized to the video frame
rate. This provides operation with no visible display
disturbances caused by beat frequencies between the
lamps and video frame rates. In this synchronous mode,
the inverter burst rate operates at twice the video refresh
rate, well beyond standard 50/60Hz video refresh rates
where the eye can perceive pulsing light.
In applications with no access to a vertical sync, an
onboard oscillator operates the inverter burst rate at about
500Hz. In this non-synchronous mode, minor display
disturbances can be found under certain video conditions.
This performance may be acceptable for many
applications, but synchronization must be used when no
disturbance can be tolerated.
