7 LT1786F typical perfor m a n ce characteristics u w pi n fu n ctio n s uuu ccfl pgnd (pin 1): this pin is the emitter of an internal npn power switch. ccfl switch current flows through this pin and permits internal, switch-current sensing. the regulator provides a separate analog ground and power ground to isolate high current ground paths from low current signal paths. linear technology recommends the use of star-ground layout techniques. i ccfl (pin 2): this pin is the input to the ccfl lamp current programming circuit. this pin internally regulates to 465mv. the pin accepts a dc input current signal of 0 m a to 100 m a full scale from the dac. this input signal is converted to a 0 m a to 500 m a source current at the ccfl v c pin. as input programming current increases, the regu- lated lamp current increases. dio (pin 3): this pin is the common connection between the cathode and anode of two internal diodes. the remain- ing terminals of the two diodes connect to ground. in a grounded-lamp configuration, dio connects to the low voltage side of the lamp. bidirectional lamp current flows in the dio pin and thus the diodes conduct alternately on half cycles. lamp current is controlled by monitoring one- half of the average lamp current. the diode conducting on negative half cycles has one-tenth of its current diverted to the ccfl v c pin. this current nulls against the source current provided by the lamp-current programmer circuit. a single capacitor on the ccfl v c pin provides both stable loop compensation and an averaging function to the half- wave-rectified sinusoidal lamp current. therefore, input programming current relates to one-half of average lamp current. this scheme reduces the number of loop com- pensation components and permits faster loop transient response in comparison to previously published circuits. if a floating lamp configuration is used, ground the dio pin. ccfl v c (pin 4): this pin is the output of the lamp current programmer circuit and the input of the current compara- tor for the ccfl regulator. its uses include frequency compensation, lamp-current averaging for grounded-lamp circuits and current limiting. the voltage on the ccfl v c pin determines the current trip level for switch turn-off. during normal operation this pin sits at a voltage between 0.95v (zero switch current) and 2.1v (maximum switch current) with respect to analog ground (agnd). this pin has a high impedance output and permits external voltage clamping to adjust current limit. a single capacitor to ground provides stable loop compensation. this simpli- fied loop compensation method permits the ccfl regula- tor to exhibit single-pole transient response behavior and virtually eliminates transformer output overshoot. code 0 dnl (lsb) 64 1786 g27 16 32 48 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 dnl vs code code 0 inl (lsb) 64 1786 g28 16 32 48 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 inl vs code
8 LT1786F pi n fu n ctio n s uuu agnd (pin 5): this is the low current analog ground. it is the negative sense terminal for the internal 1.24v refer- ence and the i ccfl summing voltage in the LT1786F. connect low current signal paths that terminate to ground and frequency compensation components that terminate to ground directly to this pin for best regulation and performance. shdn (pin 6): pulling this pin low causes regulator shutdown with quiescent current typically reduced to 150 m a. in this condition, the dac circuitry remains alive and the dac i out level is maintained. if this pin is not used, use a pull-up resistor to force a logic high level (maximum of 6v). the pin can be floated and an internal current source will pull the pin to a logic high level. however, poor pcb layout techniques can permit switching noise to inject into this pin and cause erratic operation. ltc recommends the use of a pull-up resistor. if the smbsus pin is pulled low or bit 7 = 1 in the command byte, complete ic shutdown is enabled. an internal open drain n-channel device turns on and pulls the shdn pin low. the n-channel can sink up to 1.6ma. smbsus (pin 7): pulling this pin low causes complete shutdown for the ic with quiescent current typically reduced to 40 m a. in this smbus suspend condition, the dac retains its last output current setting and returns to this level when the logic low signal at this pin is removed. if this pin is not used, use a pull-up resistor to force a logic high level or tie it directly to v cc . poor pcb layout techniques can permit switching noise to inject into this pin and cause erratic operation. a small value capacitor may be required to filter out this noise. setting bit 7 = 1 in the command byte also enables an smbus suspend condition. enabling an smbus suspend condition turns on an internal open drain n-channel device which pulls the shdn pin low. the n-channel device sinks up to 1.6ma at the shdn pin. adr (pin 8): this is the smbus address select pin. tie this pin to either v cc or gnd to select one of two smbus addresses to which the LT1786F will respond. if the adr pin is tied to gnd, the smbus address is set to 58 (hex) and the dac i out powers up to zero scale. if the adr pin is tied to v cc , the smbus address is set to 5a (hex) and the dac i out powers up to half scale. if a different value is required for the dac i out on power-up, use the shdn pin to keep the ccfl regulator off until the required value has been programmed for the dac via the smbus. sda (pin 9): this is the smbus bidirectional data input and digital output pin. data is shifted into the sda pin and acknowledged by the sda pin. sda is a high impedance pin while data is shifted into the pin and an open-drain n-channel output during acknowledges. sda requires a pull-up resistor or current source to v cc . scl (pin 10): this is the smbus clock input pin. data is shifted into the sda pin at the rising edges of the scl clock during data transfer. scl is a high impedance pin. scl requires a pull-up resistor or current source to v cc . i out (pin 11): this pin is the current output for the dac and provides a full-scale output current of 100 m a 4 m a over temperature. initial accuracy is 100 m a 2 m a.the pin can be biased from C 10v to (v cc C 1.3v). this pin is typically tied directly to the i ccfl pin and provides the programming current which sets the operating lamp current. the i out pin has very little bias voltage change when tied to the i ccfl pin as i ccfl is regulated. the programming current is sourced from the i out pin and sunk by the i ccfl pin. v cc (pin 12): this is the supply pin for the LT1786F. the ic accepts an input voltage range of 3v minimum to 6.5v maximum with little change in quiescent current (zero switch current). an internal, low-dropout regulator pro- vides a 2.4v supply for most of the internal circuitry. supply current increases as switch current increases at a rate approximately 1/50 of switch current. this corre- sponds to a forced beta of 50 for the power switch. the ic incorporates undervoltage lockout by sensing regulator dropout and locking out switching for input voltages below 2.5v. hysteresis is not used to maximize the range of input voltage. the typical input voltage is a 3.3v or 5v logic supply.
9 LT1786F pi n fu n ctio n s uuu royer (pin 13): this pin connects to the center-tapped primary of the royer converter and is used with the bat pin in a floating-lamp configuration where lamp current is controlled by sensing royer primary-side converter cur- rent. this pin is the inverting terminal of a high-side current sense amplifier. the typical quiescent current is 50 m a into the pin. if the ccfl regulator is not used in a floating-lamp configuration, tie the royer and bat pins together. bat (pin 14): this pin connects to the battery or ac wall adapter voltage from which the ccfl royer converter operates. this voltage is typically higher than the v cc supply voltage but can equal v cc if v cc is a 5v logic supply. the bat voltage must be at least 2.1v greater than the internal 2.4v regulator or 4.5v. this pin provides biasing for the lamp-current programming block, is used with the royer pin for floating-lamp configurations and connects to one input for the open-lamp protection circuitry. for floating-lamp configurations, this pin is the noninverting terminal of a high-side current sense amplifier. the typical quiescent current is 50 m a into the pin. the bat and royer pins monitor the primary-side royer converter current through an internal 0.1 w topside current sense resistor. a 0a to 1a primary-side, center tap converter current is translated to an input signal range of 0mv to 100mv for the current sense amplifier. this input range translates to a 0 m a to 500 m a sink current at the ccfl v c pin that nulls against the source current provided by the programmer circuit. the bat pin also connects to the topside of the internal clamp between the bat and bulb pins that is used for open-lamp protection. bulb (pin 15): this pin connects to the low side of a 7v threshold comparator between the bat and bulb pins. this circuit sets the maximum voltage level across the primary side of the royer converter under all operating conditions and limits the maximum secondary output under start-up conditions or open-lamp conditions. this eases transformer voltage rating requirements. set the voltage limit to ensure lamp start-up with worst-case, lamp start voltages and cold temperature, system operat- ing conditions. the bulb pin connects to the junction of an external divider network. the divider network connects from the center tap of the royer transformer or the actual battery supply voltage to the topside of the current source tail inductor. a capacitor across the top of the divider network filters switching ripple and sets a time constant that determines how quickly the clamp activates. when the comparator activates, sink current is generated to pull the ccfl v c pin down. this action transfers the entire regulator loop from current mode operation into voltage mode operation. ccfl v sw (pin 16): this pin is the collector of the internal npn power switch for the ccfl regulator. the power switch provides a minimum of 1.25a. maximum switch current is a function of duty cycle as internal slope com- pensation ensures stability with duty cycles greater than 50%. using a driver loop to automatically adapt base drive current to the minimum required to keep the switch in a quasi-saturation state yields fast switching times and high efficiency operation. the ratio of switch current to driver current is about 50:1.

12 LT1786F applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u battery drain. additionally, all components, including pc board and hardware, usually must fit within the lcd enclosure with a height restriction of 5mm to 10mm. the ccfl regulator drives an inductor that acts as a switched-mode current source for a current-driven royer- class converter with efficiencies as high as 90%. the control loop forces the ccfl pwm to modulate the aver- age inductor current to maintain constant current in the lamp. the constant current value, and thus lamp intensity, is programmable. this drive technique provides a wide range of intensity control. a unique lamp-current pro- gramming block permits either grounded lamp or floating lamp configurations. grounded lamp circuits directly sense one-half of average lamp current. floating lamp circuits directly sense the royers primary-side converter current. floating-lamp circuits provide symmetric differential drive to the lamp and reduce the parasitic loss from stray lamp- to-frame capacitance, extending illumination range. block diagram operation the LT1786F is a fixed frequency, current mode switching regulator. a fixed frequency, current mode switcher con- trols switch duty cycle directly by switch current rather than by output voltage. referring to the block diagram for the LT1786F, the switch turns on at the start of each oscillator cycle. the switch turns off when switch current reaches a predetermined level. the control of output lamp current is obtained by using the output of a unique programming block to set current trip level. the current mode switching technique has several advantages. first, it provides excellent rejection of input voltage variations. second, it reduces the 90 phase shift at mid-frequencies in the energy storage inductor. this simplifies closed-loop frequency compensation under widely varying input voltage or output load conditions. finally, it allows simple pulse-by-pulse current limiting to provide maximum switch protection under output overload or short-circuit conditions. the LT1786F incorporates a low dropout internal regula- tor that provides a 2.4v supply for most of the internal circuitry. this low dropout design allows input voltage to vary from 3v to 6.5v with little change in quiescent current. an active low shutdown pin typically reduces total supply current to 150 m a by shutting off the 2.4v regulator and locks out switching action for standby operation. the ic incorporates undervoltage lockout by sensing regulator dropout and locking out switching below about 2.5v. the regulator also provides thermal shutdown protection that locks out switching in the presence of excessive junction temperatures. a 200khz oscillator is the basic clock for all internal timing. the oscillator turns on the output switch via its own logic and driver circuitry. adaptive anti-sat circuitry detects the onset of saturation in the power switch and adjusts base drive current instantaneously to limit switch saturation. this minimizes driver dissipation and provides rapid turn- off of the switch. the ccfl power switch is guaranteed to provide a minimum of 1.25a in the LT1786F. the antisat circuitry provides a ratio of switch current to driver current of about 50:1. digital interface the LT1786F communicates with an smbus host using the standard 2-wire smbus interface. the timing diagram shows the signals on the smbus. the two bus lines sda and scl must be high when the bus is not in use. external pull-up resistors or current sources are required at these lines. the LT1786F is a receive-only (slave) device. the master must apply the following write byte protocol to commu- nicate with the LT1786F: 17 1181811 s slave address wr a command byte a data byte a p s = start conditon, wr = write bit, a = acknowledge bit, p = stop condition the master initiates communication with the LT1786F with a start condition (see smbus operating sequence) and a 7-bit address followed by the write bit = 0. the LT1786F acknowledges and the master delivers the command byte. the LT1786F acknowledges and latches the active bits of the command byte into register a (see block diagram) at the falling edge of the acknowledge pulse. the master sends the data byte and the LT1786F acknowledges the data byte. the data byte is latched into register c at the falling edge of the final acknowledge pulse and the dac current output assumes the new 6-bit data

16 LT1786F applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u lamp current programmer circuit. the compensation ca- pacitor on the ccfl v c pin provides stable loop compen- sation and an averaging function to the rectified sinusoidal lamp current. therefore, input programming current re- lates to one-half of average lamp current. the transfer function between lamp current and input programming current must be empirically determined and is dependent on the particular lamp/display housing com- bination used. the lamp and display housing are a distrib- uted loss structure due to parasitic lamp-to-frame capaci- tance. this means that the current flowing at the high- voltage side of the lamp is higher than what is flowing at the dio pin side of the lamp. the input programming current is set to control lamp current at the high-voltage side of the lamp, even though the feedback signal is the lamp current at the bottom of the lamp. this ensures that the lamp is not overdriven which can degrade the lamps operating lifetime. therefore, the full scale current of the dac does not necessarily correspond to the current required to set maximum lamp current. floating lamp configuration in a floating lamp configuration, the lamp is fully floating with no galvanic connection to ground. this allows the transformer to provide symmetric differential drive to the lamp. balanced drive eliminates the field imbalance asso- ciated with parasitic lamp-to-frame capacitance and re- duces thermometering (uneven lamp intensity along the lamp length) at low lamp currents. carefully evaluate display designs in relation to the physi- cal layout of the lamp, its leads and the construction of the display housing. parasitic capacitance from any high voltage point to dc or ac ground creates paths for unwanted current flow. this parasitic current flow degrades electrical efficiency and losses up to 25% have been observed in practice. as an example, at a royer operating frequency of 60khz, 1pf of stray capacitance represents an impedance of 2.65m w . with an operating lamp voltage of 400v and an operating lamp current of 6ma, the parasitic current is 150 m a. this additional cur- rent must be supplied by the transformer secondary. layout techniques that increase parasitic capacitance include long high voltage lamp leads, reflective metal foil around the lamp and displays supplied in metal enclo- sures. losses for a good display are under 5%, whereas, losses for a bad display range from 5% to 25%. lossy displays are the primary reason to use a floating lamp configuration. providing symmetric, differential drive to the lamp reduces the total parasitic loss by one-half. maintaining closed-loop control of lamp current in a floating lamp configuration necessitates deriving a feed- back signal from the primary side of the royer trans- former. previous solutions have used an external preci- sion shunt and high-side sense amplifier configuration. this approach has been integrated onto the LT1786F for simplicity of design and ease of use. an internal 0.1 w resistor monitors the royer converter current and con- nects between the input terminals of a high-side sense amplifier. a 0 C 1 amp royer primary-side, center-tap current is translated to a 0 m a to 500 m a sink current at the ccfl v c pin to null against the source current provided by the lamp current programmer circuit. the compensation capacitor on the ccfl v c pin provides stable loop com- pensation and an averaging function to the error sink current. therefore, input programming current is related to average royer converter current. floating lamp circuits operate similarly to grounded lamp circuits except for the derivation of the feedback signal. the transfer function between lamp current and input programming current must be empirically determined and is dependent upon a myriad of factors including lamp characteristics, display construction, transformer turns ratio and the tuning of the royer oscillator. once again, lamp current will be slightly higher at one end of the lamp and input programming current should be set for this higher level to ensure that the lamp is not overdriven. the internal 0.1 w high-side sense resistor on the LT1786F is rated for a maximum dc current of 1a. this resistor can be damaged by extremely high surge currents at start-up. the royer converter typically uses a few microfarads of bypass capacitance at the center tap of the transformer. this capacitor charges up when the system is first pow- ered by the battery pack or an ac wall adapter. the amount of current delivered at start-up can be very large if the total impedance in this path is small and the voltage source has high current capability. linear technology recommends
17 LT1786F applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u the use of an aluminum electrolytic for the transformer center-tap bypass capacitor with an esr greater than or equal to 0.5 w . this lowers the peak surge currents to an acceptable level. in general, the wire and trace inductance in this path also help reduce the di/dt of the surge current. this issue only exists with floating lamp circuits as grounded lamp circuits do not make use of the high-side sense resistor. input capacitor type caution must be used in selecting the input capacitor type for switching regulators. aluminum electrolytics are elec- trically rugged and the lowest cost, but are physically large to meet required ripple current ratings, and size con- straints (especially height) may preclude their use. ce- ramic capacitors are now available in larger values and their high ripple current and voltage rating make them ideal for input bypassing. solid tantalum capacitors would be a good choice except for a history of occasional failure when subjected to large current surges during start-up. the input bypass capaci- tor of regulators can see these high surges when a battery or high capacitance source is connected. some manufac- turers have developed tantalum capacitor lines specially tested for surge capability (avx tps series for instance), but even these units may fail if the input voltage surge approaches the capacitors maximum voltage rating. avx recommends derating the capacitor voltage by 2:1 for high surge applications. applications support linear technology invests an enormous amount of time, resources and technical expertise in understanding, designing and evaluating backlight/lcd contrast solu- tions for system designers. the design of an efficient and compact lcd backlight system is a study of compromise in a transduced electronic system. every aspect of the design is interrelated and any design change requires complete re-evaluation for all other critical design param- eters. linear technology has engineered one of the most complete test and evaluation setups for backlight designs and understands the issues and tradeoffs in achieving a compact, efficient and economical customer solution. linear technology welcomes the opportunity to discuss, design, evaluate and optimize any backlight/lcd contrast system with a customer. for further information on back- light/lcd contrast designs, consult the references. references 1. williams, jim. august 1992. illumination circuitry for liquid crystal displays . linear technology corporation, application note 49. 2. williams, jim. august 1993. techniques for 92% effi- cient lcd illumination . linear technology corporation, application note 55. 3. bonte, anthony. march 1995. lt1182 floating ccfl with dual polarity contrast . linear technology corpora- tion, design note 99. 4. williams, jim. april 1995. a precision wideband cur- rent probe for lcd backlight measurement . linear tech- nology corporation, design note 101. 5. lt1182/lt1183/lt1184/lt1184f data sheet. ccfl/ lcd contrast switching regulators . april 1995. linear technology corporation. 6. williams, jim. november 1995. a fourth generation of lcd backlight technology . linear technology corpora- tion, application note 65.
18 LT1786F dual transformer ccfl power supply space constraints may dictate utilization of two small transformers instead of a single, larger unit. although this approach is somewhat more expensive, it can solve space problems and offers other attractive advantages. figure 2s approach is essentially a grounded lamp LT1786F- based circuit. the transistors drive two transformer pri- maries in parallel. the transformer secondaries, stacked in series, provide the output. the relatively small trans- formers, each supplying half the load power, may be located directly at the lamp terminals. aside from the obvious space advantage (particularly height), this arrangement minimizes parasitic wiring losses by elimi- typical applicatio n u nating high voltage lead length. additionally, although the lamp receives differential drive, with its attendant low parasitic losses, the feedback signal is ground referred. thus, the stacked secondaries afford floating lamp oper- ating efficiency with grounded mode current certainty and line regulation. l1 is directly driven, with winding 4-5 furnishing feedback in the normal fashion. l3, slaved to l1s and l3s interconnects must be laid out for low inductance to maintain waveform purity. the traces should be as wide as possible (e.g., 1/8") and overlaid to cancel inductive effects. 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 +v bat wide trace wide trace see text and notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 i ccfl dio v c agnd shdn smbsus v sw bulb bat royer v in i out scl pgnd adr LT1786F lamp 10 6 10 6 l1 l3 nc nc 750 w mbrs130l l2 bat54 3 21 3 2 1 5 4 5 4 + 0.1 m f* 0.1 m f* 1000pf 220k 100k 2.2 m f 16v 1 m f 1786 f02 2.2 m f 27pf + 2.2 m f q1-q2 zdt1048 shutdown sda l1, l3 = coiltronics ctx110605 overlay indicated traces between l1 and l3 l2 = coiltronics ctx100-4 * = wima mki or mkp-20 = panasonic ech-u coiltronics (561) 241-7876 v in 5v + to smbus host figure 2. dual transformers save space and minimize parasitic losses while maintaining current accuracy and line regulation. trade-off is increased cost
