High-Efficiency CCFL Backlight  
Controller with SMBus Interface  
General Description  
Features  
Synchronized to Resonant Frequency  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A integrated backlight controller  
are optimized to drive cold-cathode fluorescent lamps  
(CCFLs) using a resonant full-bridge inverter architecture.  
The resonant operation maximizes striking capability and  
provides near-sinusoidal waveforms over the entire input  
range to improve CCFL lifetime. The controller operates  
over a wide input voltage range of 4.6V to 28V with high  
power-to-light efficiency. The device also includes safety  
features that effectively protect against many single-point  
fault conditions including lamp-out and short-circuit faults.  
Longer Lamp Life  
Guaranteed Striking Capability  
High Power-to-Light Efficiency  
Wide Input Voltage Range (4.6V to 28V)  
Feed Forward for Excellent Line Rejection  
SMBus Dimming Control Interface  
10:1 Dimming Range  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A achieve 10:1 dimming range  
by “chopping” the lamp current on and off using a digital  
pulse-width-modulation (DPWM) method. The minimum  
DPWM duty cycle of the MAX8709 is 9.375% and the  
minumum duty cycle of the MAX8709A is 12.5%. The  
brightness is controlled with a 2-wire SMBus™-compati-  
ble interface. The device directly drives the four external  
N-channel power MOSFETs of the full-bridge inverter. An  
internal 5.3V linear regulator powers the MOSFET dri-  
vers, the DPWM oscillator, and most of the internal cir-  
cuitry. The MAX8709/MAX8709A are available in a  
space-saving 28-pin thin QFN package and operates  
over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

The MAX8709/MAX8709A control a full-bridge resonant  
inverter to convert an unregulated DC input into a near-  
sinusoidal AC output for powering CCFLs. The lamp  
brightness is adjusted by turning the lamp on and off  
with an internal DPWM signal. The duty cycle of the  
DPWM signal is set through an SMBus-compatible 2-  
wire serial interface. Figure 2 shows the functional dia-

Resonant Operation  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A drive the four N-channel power  
MOSFETs that make up the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS)  
full-bridge inverter as shown in Figure 3. Assume that  
NH1 and NL2 are turned on at the beginning of a switch-  
ing cycle as shown in Figure 3(a). The primary current  
flows through MOSFET NH1, DC blocking cap C2, the  
primary side of transformer T1, and MOSFET NL2. During  
this interval, the primary current ramps up until the con-  
troller turns off NH1. When NH1 turns off, the primary cur-  
rent forward biases the body diode of NL1, which clamps  
the LX1 voltage just below ground as shown in Figure  
3(b). When the controller turns on NL1, its drain-to-source  
voltage is near zero because its forward-biased body  
diode clamps the drain. Since NL2 is still on, the primary  
current flows through NL1, C2, the primary side of T1,  
and NL2. Once the primary current drops to the minimum

NH1 is forward biased. Finally, NH1 losslessly turns on,  
beginning a new cycle as shown in Figure 3(a). Note that  
switching transitions on all four power MOSFETs occur  
under ZVS conditions, which reduce transient power loss-  
es and EMI.  
When NH2 turns on, it does so with near-zero drain-to-  
source voltage. The primary current reverses polarity as  
shown in Figure 3(c), beginning a new cycle with the cur-  
rent flowing in the opposite direction, with NH2 and NL1  
on. The primary current ramps up until the controller turns  
off NH2. When NH2 turns off, the primary current forward  
biases the body diode of NL2, which clamps the LX2 volt-  
age just below ground as shown in Figure 3(d). After the  
LX2 node goes low, the controller losslessly turns on NL2.  
Once the primary current drops to the minimum current  
threshold, the controller turns off NL1. The remaining  
energy charges up the LX1 node until the body diode of

decreases rapidly and the operating point moves toward

Both the current and the voltage loops use transcon-

the IFB input and is internally half-wave rectified. The  
current-loop transconductance error amplifier com-  
pares the rectified IFB voltage with a 400mV internal  
threshold to create an error current. The error current

Lamp Startup  
A CCFL is a gas discharge lamp that is normally driven  
in the avalanche mode. To start ionization in a nonion-  
ized lamp, the applied voltage (striking voltage) must  
be increased to the level required for the start of  
avalanche. The striking voltage can be several times  
the typical operating voltage.

Because of the resonant topology, the striking voltage  
is guaranteed regardless of the temperature. Before the  
lamp is ionized, the lamp impedance is infinite. The

The MAX8709/MAX8709A control the brightness of the  
CCFL by “chopping” the lamp current on and off using an  
internal DPWM signal. The frequency of the DPWM signal

interface determines the duty cycle of the DPWM signal.  
A brightness code of 0b00000 corresponds to a 9.375%  
DPWM duty cycle for MAX8709, and a 12.5% duty cycle  
for MAX8709A. A brightness code of 0b11111 corre-  
sponds to a 100% DPWM duty cycle. The duty cycle

Feed-Forward Control and

The MAX8709/MAX8709A are designed to maintain

changes in input voltage (V  
). This feature provides  
BATT  
immunity to input voltage variations and simplifies loop  
compensation over wide input voltage ranges. The  
feed-forward control also improves the line regulation  
for short DPWM on-times and makes startup transients  
less dependent on the input voltage.  
In DPWM operation, the CCI and CCV control loops work  
together to regulate the lamp current, limit the secondary  
voltage, and control the rising and falling of the lamp cur-  
rent. During the DPWM off-cycle, the output of the volt-  
age-loop error amplifier (CCV) is set to 1.15V and the  
current-loop error-amplifier output (CCI) is high imped-  
ance. The high-impedance output acts like a sample-

The secondary current limit provides failsafe current  
limiting in case a failure, such as a short circuit or leak-  
age from the lamp high-voltage terminal to ground, pre-  
vents the CCI current control loop from functioning  
properly. ISEC monitors the voltage across a sense  
resistor placed between the transformer’s low-voltage  
secondary terminal and ground. The ISEC voltage is  
internally half-wave rectified and continuously com-  
pared to the ISEC regulation threshold (1.25V typ). Any  
time the ISEC voltage exceeds the threshold, a con-  
trolled current is drawn from CCI to reduce the on-time  
of the bridge’s high-side switches.  
Low-Power Shutdown (SUS)  
When the MAX8709/MAX8709A are placed in shut-  
down, all functions of the IC are turned off except for  
the 5.3V linear regulator that powers all internal regis-  
ters and the SMBus interface. The SMBus interface is  
accessible in shutdown. In shutdown, the linear-regula-  
tor output voltage drops to about 4.5V and the supply  
current is 6µA (typ), which is the required power to  
maintain all internal register states. While in shutdown,  
lamp-out detection and short-circuit detection latches  
are reset. The device can be placed into shutdown  
either by writing to the shutdown-mode register or  
pulling SUS low.  
Reference Output (REF)  
The reference output is nominally 2V, and can source at  
least 40µA (see the Typical Operating Characteristics).

The MAX8709/MAX8709A are slave-only devices and  
respond to the 7-bit address 0b01011000 (i.e., with the  
R/W bit clear indicating a write, this corresponds to 0x58).  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A have three functional registers:  
a 5-bit brightness register (BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0), a 3-bit  
shutdown-mode register (SHMD2–SHMDE0), and a 2-bit  
status register (STATUS1–STATUS0). In addition, the  
device has three identification (ID) registers: an 8-bit chip  
ID register, an 8-bit chip revision register, and an 8-bit  
manufacturer ID register.  
Linear-Regulator Output (V  
)
CC  
The internal linear regulator steps down the DC input volt-  
age to 5.3V (typ). The linear regulator supplies power to  
the internal control circuitry of the MAX8709/MAX8709A  
and can also be used to power the MOSFET drivers by  
connecting V  
directly to V . The V

SMBus Interface (SDA, SCL)  
Communication starts with the master signaling the  
beginning of a transmission with a START condition,  
which is a high-to-low transition on SDA while SCL is  
high. When the master has finished communicating with  
the slave, the master issues a STOP condition, which is  
a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high. The  
bus is then free for another transmission. Figures 8 and  
9 show the timing diagrams for signals on the 2-wire  
interface. The address byte, command byte, and data  
byte are transmitted between the START and STOP con-  
ditions. The SDA state is allowed to change only while  
SCL is low, except for the START and STOP conditions.  
Data is transmitted in 8-bit words and is sampled on the  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A support an Intel SMBus-com-  
patible 2-wire digital interface. SDA is the bidirectional  
data line and SCL is the clock line of the 2-wire interface  
corresponding respectively to SMBDATA and SMBCLK  
lines of the SMBus. SDA and SCL are Schmidt-triggered  
inputs that can accommodate slow edges; however, the  
rising and falling edges should still be faster than 1µs and  
300ns, respectively. The MAX8709/MAX8709A use the  
write-byte, read-byte, and receive-byte protocols (Figure  
7). The SMBus protocols are documented in System  
Management Bus Specification V1.1 and are available at  
http://www.SMBus.org/.

transfer each byte in or out of the MAX8709/MAX8709A  
since either the master or the slave acknowledges the  
receipt of the correct byte during the ninth clock. If the  
MAX8709/MAX8709A receive the correct slave address  
followed by R/W = 0, it expects to receive 1 or 2 bytes of  
information (depending on the protocol). If the device  
detects a START or STOP condition prior to clocking in  
the bytes of data, it considers this an error condition and  
disregards all of the data.  
If the transmission is completed correctly, the registers  
are updated immediately after a STOP (or RESTART)  
condition. If the MAX8709/MAX8709A receives its cor-  
rect slave address followed by R/W = 1, it expects to  
clock out the register data selected by the previous com-  
mand byte.  
SMBus Commands  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A registers are accessible  
through several different redundant commands (i.e.,  
the command byte in the read-byte and write-byte pro-  
tocols), which can be used to read or write the bright-  
ness, SHMD, status, or ID registers.

Applications Information  
The 5-bit brightness register corresponds to the 5-bit  
brightness code used in dimming control (See the  
Dimming Control section). BRIGHT4 - BRIGHT0 =  
0b11111 sets minimum brightness and BRIGHT4 -  
BRIGHT0 = 0b00000 sets maximum brightness. Note that  
the brightness-register polarity of command bytes 0xA9  
and 0xAA are inverted from that of command byte 0x01.  
To select the correct component values for the  
MAX8709/MAX8709A, several CCFL parameters must be  
specified. (Table 7)  
MOSFETs  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A require four external N-channel  
power MOSFETs (NL1, NL2, NH1, and NH2) to form a  
full-bridge inverter circuit to drive the transformer primary.  
The regulator senses the on-state drain-to-source voltage  
of the two low-side MOSFETs NL1 and NL2 to detect the  
Shutdown-Mode Register [SHMD2–SHMD0]

The 3-bit shutdown-mode register configures the oper-

also be used to directly shut off the CCFL regardless of  
the state of SUS (Table 5).

Setting the Lamp Current  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A sense the lamp current flow-  
ing through a resistor R1 (Figure 1) connected between  
the low-voltage terminal of the lamp and ground. The  
voltage across R1 is fed to IFB and is internally recti-  
fied. The MAX8709/MAX8709A control the desired  
lamp current by regulating the average of the half-wave  
rectified IFB voltage. To set the RMS lamp current,  
determine R1 as follows:  
Setting the Secondary Current Limit  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A limit the secondary current  
even if the IFB sense resistor is shorted or transformer  
secondary current finds its way to ground without pass-  
ing through R1. ISEC monitors the voltage across the  
sense resistor R3 connected between the low-voltage  
terminal of the transformer secondary winding and  
ground. Determine the value of R3 using the following  
equation:

400mV is the typical value of the IFB regulation point

the RMS lamp current to 6mA, the value of R1 should  
be 148. The closest standard 1% resistors are 147Ω  
and 150. The precise shape of the lamp-current  
waveform, which is dependent on lamp parasitics, influ-  
ences the actual RMS lamp current. Use a true RMS  
current meter to make final adjustments to R1.

and 1.25V is the typical value of the ISEC regulation  
point specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.  
Transformer Design and Resonant  
Component Selection  
The transformer is the most important component of the  
resonant tank circuit. The first step in designing the  
transformer is to determine the transformer turns ratio.  
The ratio must be high enough to support the CCFL  
operating voltage at the minimum supply voltage. The  
transformer turns-ratio N can be calculated as follows:  
Setting the Secondary Voltage Limit  
The MAX8709/MAX8709A limit the transformer sec-  
ondary voltage during lamp striking and lamp-out faults.  
The secondary voltage is sensed through the capacitive  
voltage-divider formed by C3 and C4 (Figure 1). The  
voltage on VFB is proportional to the CCFL voltage. The  
selection of the parallel resonant capacitor C3 is  
described in the Transformer Design and Resonant  
Component Selection section. C3 is usually between  
10pF to 22pF. After the value of C3 is determined, select  
C4 using the following equation to set the desired maxi-

is the maximum RMS lamp voltage  
LAMP(RMS)  
is the minimum DC  
IN(MIN)  
The next step in the design procedure is to determine  
the desired operating frequency range. The  
MAX8709/MAX8709A are synchronized to the natural  
resonant frequency of the resonant tank. The resonant  
frequency changes with operating conditions, such as  
the input voltage, lamp impedance, etc. Therefore, the  
switching frequency varies over a certain range. To  
ensure reliable operation, the resonant frequency range  
must be within the operating frequency range specified  
by the CCFL lamp transformer manufacturers. As dis-  
cussed in the Resonant Operation section, the resonant  
frequency range is determined by the transformer sec-  
ondary leakage inductance L, the primary series DC-  
blocking capacitor C2, and the secondary parallel  
resonant capacitor C3. Since it is difficult to control the  
transformer leakage inductance, the resonant tank  
design should be based on the existing secondary  
leakage inductance of the selected CCFL transformer.  
The leakage inductance values usually have large toler-  
ance and significant variations among different batch-  
es. It is best to work directly with transformer vendors

The closest standard value of C4 is 22nF.

4) Mount the decoupling capacitor from V  
to GND  
CC  
as close as possible to the IC with dedicated  
traces that are not shared with other signal paths.  
5) The current-sense paths for LX1 and LX2 to GND  
must be made using Kelvin-sense connections to  
guarantee the current-limit accuracy. With 8-pin  
SO MOSFETs, this is best done by routing power  
to the MOSFETs from outside using the top copper  
layer, while connecting GND and LX inside (under-  
neath) the 8-pin SO package.  
Layout Guidelines  
Careful PC board layout is critical to achieve stable  
operation. The high-voltage section and the switching  
section of the circuit require particular attention. The  
high-voltage sections of the layout need to be well sep-  
arated from the control circuit. Most layouts for single-  
lamp notebook displays are constrained to the long  
and narrow form factor, so this separation occurs natu-  
rally. Follow these guidelines for good PC board layout:  
6) Ensure the feedback connections are short and  
direct. To the extent possible, IFB, VFB, and ISEC  
connections should be far away from the high-volt-  
age traces and the transformer.  
1) Keep the high-current paths short and wide, espe-  
cially at the ground terminals. This is essential for  
stable, jitter-free operation, and high efficiency.  
7) To the extent possible, high-voltage trace clear-  
ance on the transformer’s secondary should be  
widely separated. The high-voltage traces should  
also be separated from adjacent ground planes to  
prevent lossy capacitive coupling.  
2) Utilize a star-ground configuration for power and  
analog grounds. The power and analog grounds  
should be completely isolated—meeting only at the  
center of the star. The center should be placed at  
the exposed backside pad to the QFN package.  
Using separate copper islands for these grounds  
may simplify this task. Quiet analog ground is used  
for REF, CCV, CCI, and ILIM (if a resistive voltage-  
divider is used).  
8) The traces to the capacitive voltage-divider on the  
transformer’s secondary need to be widely sepa-  
rated to prevent arcing. Moving these traces to  
opposite sides of the board can be beneficial in  
some cases (see Figure 10).
