Dual-Channel Automotive CCFL Controller
General Description
The DS3882 is a dual-channel cold-cathode fluorescent
lamp (CCFL) controller for automotive applications that
provides up to 300:1 dimming. It is ideal for driving
CCFLs used to backlight liquid crystal displays (LCDs)
in navigation and infotainment applications and for dri-
ving CCFLs used to backlight instrument clusters. The
DS3882 is also appropriate for use in marine and avia-
tion applications.
The DS3882 features EMI suppression functionality and
provides a lamp current overdrive mode for rapid lamp
heating in cold weather conditions. The DS3882 sup-
ports configurations of 1 or 2 lamps with fully indepen-
dent lamp control and minimal external components.
Multiple DS3882 controllers can be cascaded to sup-
port applications requiring more than 2 lamps. Control of
the DS3882, after initial programming setup, can be
completely achieved through I
2
C software communica-
tion. Many DS3882 functions are also pin-controllable if
software control is not desired.

Note 1:
All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise noted. Currents into the IC are positive, out of the IC negative.
Note 2:
During fault conditions, the AC-coupled feedback values are allowed to be below the absolute max rating of the LCM or
OVD pin for up to 1 second.
Note 3:
Voltage with respect to V
DCB
.
Note 4:
Lamp overdrive and analog dimming (based on reduction of lamp current) are disabled.
Note 5:
This is the minimum pulse width guaranteed to generate an output burst, which generates the DS3882’s minimum burst
duty cycle. This duty cycle may be greater than the duty cycle of the PSYNC input. Once the duty cycle of the PSYNC
input is greater than the DS3882’s minimum duty cycle, the output’s duty cycle tracks the PSYNC’s duty cycle. Leaving
PSYNC low (0% duty cycle) disables the GAn and GBn outputs in DPWM receiver mode.
Note 6:
This is the maximum lamp frequency duty cycle that is generated at any of the GAn or GBn outputs with spread-spectrum
modulation disabled.
Note 7:
