DIRECT DRIVE DUAL LAMP CCFL INVERTER MODULE
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION
The Dual Output Module Ideal for
Desktop and Industrial Applications. The
LXM1620 Direct Drive^TM Cold Cathode Fluo-
rescent Lamp (CCFL) Inverter is a single mod-
ule designed to drive two lamps and is targeted
for use with desktop Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) and industrial LCD panels typically rang-
ing in size from 10.4-inches to 17-inches. This
two output inverter is the ideal solution to power
virtually any two lamp application.
Direct Drive Technology. The module de-
sign is based on a new patented¹ Direct Drive
topology, which provides a number of cost and
performance advantages. The LXM1620-01
Direct Drive inverters eliminate the classic reso-
nant inductor and capacitors, thus reducing cost
and allowing a substantial reduction in module
size.
Fixed-Frequency Operation. Other ben-
efits of this new topology are fixed-frequency
operation and secondary-side strike-voltage
regulation. Strike-voltage regulation minimizes
corona discharge in the output transformer and
related circuitry, providing longer life and higher
reliability.
Fail-safe Feature For Multiple Lamp Ap-
plications. Our multi-output inverters are de-
signed to keep your application operating at near
normal brightness in the event that a lamp fails.
This allows the display to remain "on-line" until
lamp replacement is convenient.
Dual Module Uses Standard Power
Supply. The LXM1620 module uses a standard
12V ±10% input supply. It also ensures nomi-
nal power consumption with 2 lamps requiring
only 8 watts. Lamp current is fully regulated
with respect to input voltage and output imped-
ance variations.
Dimming Features. The LXM1620 mod-
ules are equipped with a dimming input that per-
mits brightness control from an external poten-
tiometer or DC voltage. In addition, the sleep
input reduces module power to a few microwatts
in shut down mode. All LXM1620 modules fea-
ture both output open and short-circuit protec-
tion.
The Most Efficient and
Cost-effective Backlight Inverter for Desk-
top/Industrial Applications. Linfinity's pro-
prietary Direct Drive architecture is the highest
efficiency, small form factor solution for all
multiple lamp applications. The LXM1620 is
fully customizable (electronically and mechani-
cally) to specific customer requirements.
