Half bridge control IC for CCFL backlighting

PWM lamp-on situation is reached again through a reverse sequence of events, starting

the half bridge actions, increasing the voltage on CSWP, increasing the lamp current back

to the controlled value. Switch S1 is closed (conducting) again when the voltage on the

CSWP pin has reached the voltage on the CVFB pin again.

The IC waits until the CSWP sweep-up6 has reached the current/voltage control level at

the CVFB pin before sweeping down. This prevents the lamps from going out completely

when deep dimming on CSWP pin is combined with a large value capacitor.

After the switching frequency has reached fsw(max), both GL and GH are made low, so both

half bridge powers will be non-conducting, see Figure 12. This guarantees zero lamp

current during the PWM-off period7, while the CSWP frequency sweep acts as soft stop

and soft restart, of which the softness can be set by the value of the capacitor connected

to the CSWP pin.

Three pins are available to conﬁgure the internal PWM generator: the CPWM pin, PWMA

pin, and the PWMD pin. The two possible PWM conﬁgurations are shown in Figure 13.In

the analog or master mode the internal PWM generator is active and generating the PWM

signal. This signal is put on the PWMD pin, which is automatically conﬁgured as an

output. The minimum duty cycle of the internal PWM generator is limited to

PWM(min).

CSWP sweep-up is frequency sweep-down.

Until the ringing of voltage on the half bridge point has died away, some (capacitive) current may still cause a light glow at the hot

side of the lamps. Therefore it is advised to maximize the attenuation of the ringing circuit (made up by the transformer inductance

and the

∆V/∆t limiting capacitor).
