APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The current mode pulse width modulation produces an
average current in inductor L1 proportional to the VC
voltage. Inductor L1 then acts as a switched mode current
source for a current driven Royer class converter with
efficiencies as high as 90%. T1, C4 and Q1 comprise the
Royer class converter which provides the CCFLs with a
zero DC, 60kHz sinusoidal waveform whose amplitude is
based on the average current in L1. Sinusoidal current
from both CCFLs is then returned to the LT1768 through
the DIO1/2 pins. A fraction of the CCFL current from the
negative half of its sine wave pulls against the internal
current source at the VC pin closing the loop. A single
capacitor on the VC pin provides loop compensation and
CCFL current averaging, which results in constant CCFL
current.Varyingthevalueoftheinternalcurrentsourcevia

control loop by combining the error signal conversion
scheme and frequency compensation into a single capaci-
tor (VC pin). The control loop thus exhibits the response
of a single pole system, allows for faster loop transient
response and minimizes overshoot under start-up or
overload conditions.
Referring to Figure 2, the source current into the VC pin
from the Multimode Dimming block (and resultant CCFL
current)hasfivedistinctmodesofoperation. Whichmode
is in use is determined by the voltages on the PROG and
PWM pins, and the currents that flow out of the RMAX and
RMIN pins.
Off Mode (VPROG < 0.5V), sets the VC source current to
zero, activelypullsVCtoground, andinhibitstheGATEpin
from switching which results in zero lamp current.
Minimum current mode (0.5V < VPROG < 1V) sets the VC
source current equal to the current out of the 1.26V
referenced RMIN pin. The minimum VC source current
determines the dimming range of the display. Setting
RRMIN to produce the manufacturer’s minimum specified
CCFL current guarantees the maximum CCFL lifetime for
all PROG voltages, but limits the dimming range. Setting
RRMIN to produce currents less than the manufacturer’s
minimumspecifiedCCFLcurrentincreasesdimmingrange,
but places restrictions on the PROG voltage for normal
operation in order to maximize lifetime. To achieve the
maximum dimming ratio possible, IRMIN should be set to
zero by connecting the RMIN pin to the VREF pin.
Multimode Dimming
Previous backlighting solutions have used a traditional
erroramplifierinthecontrollooptoregulatelampcurrent.
The approach converted AC current into a DC voltage for
theinputoftheerroramplifier. Thisapproachusedseveral
time constants in order to provide stable loop compensa-
tion. This compensation scheme meant that the loop had
to be fairly slow and that the output overshoot with start-

ments. In addition, intensity control schemes were limited

provide the highest efficiency backlight circuits but either
limit dimming range, or violate lamp minimum or maxi-
mum CCFL current specifications to achieve wide dim-
ming ratios. PWM control schemes offer wide dimming
range but produce waveforms that may degrade CCFL life,
and waste power at higher CCFL currents. The LT1768’s
Multimode Dimming eliminates the error amplifier con-
ceptentirelyandcombinesthebestofbothcontrolschemes
to extend CCFL life while providing the widest possible
dimming range.
For example, the circuit in Figure 1 produces a dimming
ratio of 100:1 at 1mA of lamp current, but sets the
minimum CCFL current to zero (RMIN is connected to
VREF). In this case, the PROG voltage must be kept above
1.12V to limit the CCFL current to 1mA (1mA is only a
typical minimum lamp current used for illustration, con-
sult lamp specifications for actual minimum allowable
value) during normal operation in order to meet CCFL
specificationsto maximize lifetime. Itshould be noted that
taking the PROG voltage in Figure 1 down to 1V (0mA
CCFL current) enables dimming ratios greater than 500:1,
but violates minimum CCFL current specifications in most
lamps and is not recommended. Alternatively, discon-
necting RMIN from VREF and adding a 10kΩ resistor from
RMIN to AGND in Figure 1 sets the minimum CCFL current
The error amplifier is eliminated by summing the current
out of the Multimode Dimming block with a fraction of
feedback lamp current to form the control loop. This
topology reduces the number of time constants in the
