two 7-bit registers is used. Tables 4 and 5 describe the
data format for the configuration data.
Status information can be read from the MAX1611
using the SMBus read-byte protocol. Figure 13 shows
an example status read. Table 6 describes the status
information data format.
During shutdown (SMBSUS = 0 and SHDNB-0 = 0, or
SMBSUS = 1 and SHDNB-1 = 0), the MAX1611 serial
interface remains fully functional and can be used to set
either the SHDNB-0 or SHDNB-1 bits in order to return
the MAX1611 to its normal operational state.
Chopping the lamp current allows lower sustainable light
levels without lamp flicker. Intensity is varied by control-
ling the on-time duty cycle. Tying MINDAC to VL acti-
vates a special mode, which allows the CCFL intensity to

Latched Open-Tube Detection. OTPOK = 0 indicates that open-tube detection has been
triggered. As soon as the voltage on the OTP pin exceeds REF, the OTPOK bit is cleared.
Reset the OTPOK pin by entering shutdown or standby.

be varied by turning the lamp on and off at a frequency
faster than the eye can detect. The SS pin pulls to GND
during off time and rises to 2.7V during on time. During
on time, the CSAV pin regulates to REF / 8 (250mV).
During off time, the BATT-to-LX power switch is forced
off and the CC compensation node goes high imped-
ance. Omit R5, R6, and C4 of the circuit in Figure 4.
In this mode, leave SS floating and increase the CC
capacitance to 0.1µF. Also, insert a 330Ω resistor in series
with D1 (Figure 4) to prevent the open-lamp detection cir-
cuit from being tripped by the repeated striking of the
lamp. The SS pin will oscillate at the switching frequency
divided by 1024 (283Hz with SYNC = REF). The intensity
can be varied with the duty cycle at the SS pin. The duty
cycle is set by the DAC in 3% increments. Duty cycle will
vary with intensity. Full-scale yields a 100% duty cycle.
