_______________General Description
The MAX1610/MAX1611 are fully integrated, high-
efficiency drivers for cold-cathode fluorescent lamps
(CCFLs). They operate from a 4.5V to 26V power
source. An on-board, high-switching-frequency power
MOSFET reduces external component count and mag-
netics size. The MAX1610/MAX1611 protect against
open or shorted lamps. The CCFL can be driven from
an isolated transformer secondary winding to improve
efficiency and avoid flicker at dim tube settings.
Brightness is adjusted by scaling the lamp current, or
by operating with a fixed lamp current and chopping
the CCFL on and off at a rate faster than the eye can
detect.
The MAX1610’s digital inputs increment, decrement, or
clear an internal, 5-bit up/down counter, which sets
CCFL brightness. The MAX1611 uses a System
Management Bus (SMBus) 2-wire serial interface to
directly set CCFL brightness. Both devices include
micropower shutdown and a linear regulator that elimi-
nates the need for a separate logic supply. The digital
interface remains active in shutdown, preserving the
brightness setting.
