The brightness control may be a voltage output DAC or other
voltage source, a digital pot or 500k manual pot. The inverter
contains an internal 215k pull-up to 3V to bias the pot, it may
be necessary to add a small value resistor in series with the
ground side of the POT to set the lower threshold voltage
above the absolute minimum dim level capability, especially
when both SET pins are programmed low. A PWM logic level
signal (figure 1A) may be used up to 5V; however the inverter
will reach maximum current at less than 100% duty cycle.
This can be calculated as approximately 2V divided by the
logic high voltage level; with 3.3V logic level this corresponds
to about 60% duty cycle for maximum lamp current.

desired maximum output current. Using these two pins in
combination allows the inverter to match a wide variety of
panels from different manufacturers. Generally the best lamp
lifetime correlates with driving the CCFL at the manufacture’s
nominal current setting. However the SET
allow the user the flexibility to adjust the current to the
maximum allowable output current to increase panel brightness
at the expense of some reduced lamp life.
Although the SET pins are designed such that just leaving them
open or grounding them is all that is needed to set the output
current, they can also be actively set. Using an open collector
or open drain logic signal will allow you to reduce the lamp
current for situations where greater dim range is required, as an
example in nighttime situations. In conjunction with a light
sensor or other timer the panel could be set to higher brightness
(maximum output current) for daytime illumination and lower
brightness (minimum or typical output current) at nighttime.
Since the dim ratio is a factor of both the burst duty cycle and
the peak output current, using this technique the effective dim
ratio can be increased greater than the burst duty cycle alone.
Conversely, the SET inputs could be used to overdrive the
lamp temporarily to facilitate faster lamp warm up at initial
lamp turn on. Of course any possible degradation on lamp life
from such practices is the user’s responsibility since not all
lamps are designed to be overdriven.
The inverter has a built in fault timeout function. If the output
is open (lamp disconnected or broken) or shorted the inverter
will attempt to strike the lamp up to about one second, after
which (without success) the inverter will shutdown, in this
mode the inverter will draw about 8mA from V
