Low-Cost CCFL Controller  
DS391  
General Description  
Features  
CCFL Controller for Backlighting LCD Panels  
The DS3991 is a controller for cold-cathode fluorescent  
lamps (CCFLs) that are used to backlight liquid-crystal  
displays (LCDs). The DS3991 is available for both  
push-pull and half-bridge drive topologies.  
Minimal External Components Required  
Lamp Fault Monitoring for Lamp-Open, Lamp-  
Overcurrent, Failure-to-Strike, and Overvoltage  
Conditions  
The DS3991 converts a DC voltage (5V to 24V) to the  
high-voltage (300V  
to 1400V  
) AC waveform that

Accurate (±±5% On-Board Oscillator for Lamp  
is required to power the CCFLs. The push-pull and half-  
bridge drive schemes use a minimal number of external  
components, which reduces component and assembly  
cost and makes the printed circuit board (PCB) design  
easy to implement. Both drive schemes provide an effi-  
cient DC to AC conversion and produce near-sinu-  
soidal waveforms.

Dimming Control  
Detailed Description  
The DS3991 uses burst dimming to control the lamp  
brightness. During the high period of the DPWM cycle,  
the lamp is driven at the selected lamp frequency  
(40kHz to 80kHz) as shown in Figure 1. This part of the  
cycle is also called the burst period because of the  
lamp-frequency burst that occurs during this time.  
During the low period of the DPWM cycle, the controller  
disables the MOSFET gate drivers so the lamp is not  
driven. This causes the current to stop flowing in the  
lamp, but the time is short enough to keep the lamp  
from de-ionizing. Dimming is increased/decreased by  
adjusting (i.e., modulating) the burst-period duty cycle.  
At the beginning of each burst-dimming cycle, soft-start  
slowly ramps the lamp current to reduce the potential to  
create audible transformer noise.  
The DS3991 is available for both push-pull and half-  
bridge drive topologies. In both drive topologies, the  
DS3991 drives two logic-level MOSFETs. The DS3991  
alternately turns on the two MOSFETs to create the high-  
voltage AC waveform on the secondary. By varying the  
duration of the MOSFET turn-on times, the controller is  
able to accurately control the amount of current flowing  
through the CCFL lamp. See the Typical Push-Pull  
Application and Typical Half-Bridge Application figures.  
The DS3991 can also drive more than one CCFL lamp  
per channel. The Typical Push-Pull Application, Multiple  
Lamp Per Channel and Typical Half-Bridge Application,  
Multiple Lamp Per Channel figures show an application  
driving three lamps.  
A series resistor on the low-voltage side of the CCFL  
lamp enables current monitoring. The voltage developed  
across this resistor is fed to the lamp current monitor  
(LCM) input on the DS3991. The DS3991 compares the  
resistor voltage against an internal reference voltage to  
determine the duty cycle for the MOSFET gates. See the  
Main System Block Diagram and the CCFL Channel  
Block Diagram for more information.  
There are two methods to control the duty cycle and  
frequency of the burst-dimming DPWM. If the PWM_EN  
pin is tied low, then the analog-control method is  
enabled; a 0V to 3.3V analog voltage at the BRIGHT  
input pin determines the duty cycle of a digital pulse-  
width modulated (DPWM) signal. The frequency of the  
DPWM signal is determined by the value of the resistor  
tied from the POSC pin to ground. The slope of the  
BRIGHT dimming input is either positive or negative  
based on whether the SLOPE pin is tied low or high,  
respectively.

SOFT-START  
Figure 1. Digital PWM Dimming and Soft-Start  
If the PWM_EN pin is tied high, the digital control  
method is enabled and an external PWM signal  
between 80Hz and 300Hz is applied at the POSC/PWM  
pin to set the brightness of the lamp. In the digital con-  
trol method, the SLOPE and BRIGHT pins are not used.  
Supply Monitoring  
The DS3991 has supply-voltage monitors (SVML and  
SVMH) for the inverter’s DC supply (V  
) and an  
INV  
undervoltage lockout for the V  
supply to ensure that  
CC  
voltage levels are adequate for proper operation. The  
inverter supply is monitored for overvoltage conditions  
at the SVMH pin and undervoltage conditions at the  
SVML pin. External resistor-dividers at each SVM input  
feed into two comparators, both having 2V thresholds  
(see Figure 2). Using the equation below to determine  
the resistor values, the SVMH and SVML trip points  
Lamp Strike  
On lamp strike, the DS3991 boosts the normal operating  
lamp frequency by 33%. This is done to increase the  
voltage created and help ensure that the lamp strikes.  
Once the controller detects that the lamp has struck, the  
frequency is returned to the normal lamp frequency.  
(V  
) can be customized to shut off the inverter when  
TRIP  
the inverter supply voltage rises above or drops below  
specified values.  
Setting the Lamp and DPꢀM Frequencies Using  
External Resistors  
Operating with the inverter supply at too low of a level can  
prevent the transformer from reaching the strike voltage  
and could potentially cause numerous other problems.  
Operating with the inverter voltage at too high of a level  
can be damaging to the inverter components. Proper use  
of the SVMs can prevent these problems. If desired, the  
high and/or low SVMs can be disabled by connecting the  
SVMH pin to GND and the SVML pin to VCC.  
Both the lamp and DPWM frequencies are set using  
external resistors. The resistance required for either fre-  
quency can be determined using the following formula:  
K
R
=
OSC  
f
OSC  
where K = 4000kΩ x kHz for lamp frequency calcula-  
tions, K = 4kΩ x kHz for DPWM frequency calculations.  
Example: Select the resistor values to configure the  
DS3991 to have a 50kHz lamp frequency and a 160Hz  
DPWM frequency. For the DPWM resistor calculation, K

The SVMH and SVML are high-impedance inputs and

reduce the noise present at the SVMH and SVML inputs.

Fault Monitoring  
The DS3991 provides extensive fault monitoring. It can  
detect open-lamp, lamp overcurrent, failure to strike,  
and overvoltage conditions. Figure 3 shows a flowchart  
of how the DS3991 controls and monitors each lamp.  
The steps are as follows:  
When both the DS3991 and the DC inverter supplies are  
at acceptable levels, the DS3991 attempts to strike the  
lamps. The DS3991 slowly ramps up the MOSFET gate  
duty cycle until the lamp strikes. The controller detects  
10 ______________________________________________________________________________________  
Low-Cost CCFL Controller  
DS391  
that the lamp has struck by detecting current flow in the  
lamp. If during the strike ramp, the maximum allowable  
voltage is reached, the controller stops increasing the  
MOSFET gate duty cycle to keep from overstressing the  
system. The DS3991 goes into a fault-handling state if  
the lamp has not struck after 65,536 lamp cycles. If an  
overvoltage event is detected during the strike attempt,  
the DS3991 disables the MOSFET gate drivers and  
goes into the fault handling state.  
Applications Information  
Component Selection  
External component selection has a large impact on the  
overall system performance and cost. The two most  
important external components are the transformers  
and MOSFETs.  
The transformer should be able to operate in the 40kHz  
to 80kHz frequency range of the DS3991, and the turns  
ratio should be selected so the MOSFET drivers run at  
28% to 35% duty cycle during steady-state operation.  
The transformer must be able to withstand the high  
open-circuit voltage that is used to strike the lamp.  
Additionally, its primary/secondary resistance and  
inductance characteristics must be considered  
because they contribute significantly to determining the  
efficiency and transient response of the system. Table 1  
shows a transformer specification that has been utilized  
for a 12V inverter supply, 438mm x 2.2mm lamp design.  
Once the lamp is struck, the DS3991 moves to the run-  
lamp stage. In the run-lamp stage, the DS3991 adjusts  
the MOSFET gate duty cycle to optimize the lamp cur-  
rent. The gate duty cycle is always constrained to keep  
the system from exceeding the maximum allowable  
lamp voltage. If lamp current ever drops below the  
lamp-out reference point for 65,536 lamp cycles, the  
lamp is considered extinguished. In this case the MOS-  
FET gate drivers are disabled and the device moves to  
the fault-handling stage.  
The MOSFETs must have a threshold voltage that is low  
enough to work with logic-level signals, a low on-resis-  
tance to maximize efficiency and limit the MOSFET’s  
power dissipation, and a breakdown voltage high  
enough to handle the transient. For push-pull topolo-  
gies, the breakdown voltage of the MOSFETs should be  
a minimum of 3x the inverter voltage supply.  
Additionally, the total gate charge must be less than  
In the case of a lamp overcurrent, the DS3991 instanta-  
neously declares the controller to be in a fault state. If  
the DS3991 goes into the fault state, the DS3991 shuts  
down. Once a fault state is entered, the controller  
remains in that state until one of the following occurs:  
V drops below the UVLO threshold  
CC  
SVML input drops below 2.0V  
SVMH input goes above 2.0V

Power-Supply Decoupling  
Package Information  
To achieve best results, it is highly recommended that  
a decoupling capacitor be used on pin 14, the IC  
power-supply pin. Typical values of decoupling capaci-  
tors are 0.01µF or 0.1µF. Use a high-quality, ceramic,  
surface-mount capacitor, and mount it as close as pos-  
sible to the VCC and GND pins of the IC to minimize  
lead inductance. Pins 2, 3, and 4 require connection to  
supply voltage (VCC) but do not require any additional  
decoupling.
