High-Efficiency, Wide Brightness
Range, CCFL Backlight Controller
General Description
The MAX1996A integrated controller is optimized to
drive cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) using
synchronized full-bridge inverter architecture.
Synchronized drive provides near sinusoidal waveforms
over the entire input range to maximize the life of
CCFLs. The controller also operates over a wide input-
voltage range with high efficiency and broad dimming
range.
The MAX1996A includes safety features that limit the
transformer secondary voltage and protect against sin-
gle-point fault conditions including lamp-out and short-
circuit faults.
The MAX1996A regulates the CCFL brightness in three
ways: linearly controlling the lamp current, digital pulse-
width modulating (DPWM) the lamp current, or using
both methods simultaneously to achieve the widest
dimming range (>30:1). CCFL brightness can be con-
trolled with either an analog voltage or a 2-wire
SMBus™-compatible interface. The MAX1996A directly
drives the four external N-channel power MOSFETs of
the full bridge inverter. An internal 5.3V linear regulator
powers the MOSFET drivers, the synchronizable DPWM
oscillator, and most of the internal circuitry.
The MAX1996A has the same pin configuration as the
MAX1895, but with modified SMBus slave address
(0x58) and command bytes. In addition, the lamp-out
protection timer has been reduced to approximately 1s
and the DPWM frequency is guaranteed from 200Hz to
220Hz over the operating temperature range without
external components or trimming. The MAX1996A is
available in the space-saving 28-pin thin QFN package
and operates over a -40°C to +85°C temperature
range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design based on final test characterization results.
Note 2:
Corresponds to 256 DPWM cycles or 32768 MODE cycles.
Note 3:
The MODE pin thresholds are only valid while the part is operating. When in shutdown, V
REF
= 0 and the part only differenti-
ates between SMB mode and ADC mode. When in shutdown and with ADC mode selected, the CRF/SDA and CTL/SCL
pins are at high impedance and do not cause extra supply current when their voltages are not at GND or V
