5V 4W CCFL Programmable Inverter Module
The brightness control may be a voltage output DAC or
other voltage source, a digital pot or 20K manual pot. The
inverter contains an internal 10K pull-up to 3V to bias the
pot add a 2.7K resistor to set the lower threshold voltage.
A 3.3V Logic Level PWM signal from a micro-controller
may also be used as shown in Figure 1A.

high voltage insulation, connect the longest wire to V

desired maximum output current. Using these two pins in
combination allows the inverter to match a wide variety of
panels from different manufactures. Generally the best
lamp lifetime and efficiency correlates with driving the
CCFL at the manufactures nominal current setting.
However the SET
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 a 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 the peak output current, using this
technique the effective dim ratio can be increased.
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 users responsibility as 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 for several
seconds. After about 2 seconds without success the inverter
will shutdown.
