OZ968
SMBus Smart Inverter Controller
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The OZ968 is a unique single-stage, high-
efficiency, CCFL backlight controller. It drives a
•
•
Single-stage power conversion
Constant frequency design eliminates inter-
ference with LCDs
Built-in open-lamp protection and short-
circuit protection
Reliable 2-winding transformer design elimi-
nates arcing failures and the need for fold-
back wiring
zero-voltage-switching circuit and provides a
near sinusoidal output voltage and current wave-
forms for a CCFL backlight. Typical operating
frequency ranges from 30KHz to 100KHz. These
advances drive the OZ968 beyond comparable
conventional inverter designs with two power
conversion stages (one operates at a variable
frequency, the other at a constant frequency).
•
•
•
32-level dimming and 256-level contrast
control via SMBus
•
•
High efficiency, 90% typical
Supports both floating secondary and
grounded secondary designs
Operating in a PWM push-pull drive, the trans-
former in an OZ968 backlight inverter requires
only one primary winding and one secondary
winding. The secondary winding requires no fold-
back treatment.
ORDERING INFORMATION
The OZ968 supports a bi-directional, two-wire
bus, data transmission protocol to control dim-
ming (32 levels) and contrast (256 levels). Sup-
ply current is 1mA in active mode, 150µA in
standby mode.
OZ968G - 16-pin plastic SOP
The OZ968 is available in a 16-pin SOP pack-
age. It is specified over the commercial tempera-
o
o
ture range 0 C to +70 C.
