GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4877 is an ideal solution for driving multiple cold
cathode fluorescent tubes (CCFL) used in liquid crystal
display (LCD) backlight applications. It provides dimming
ballast control for the LCD display.
By utilizing differential drive the ML4877 can deliver the
same light output with significantly less input power
compared to existing single ended drive schemes.
Improvements as high as 30% can be realized when using
low power lamps and advanced LCD screen housings. This
increased light output is achieved because the differential
drive configuration is much less sensitive, and therefore
less power is wasted in the capacitive parasitics that exist
in the backlight housing. An additional benefit of this
configuration is an even distribution of light.
The IC includes an adjustable lamp out detect circuit that
latches the IC off when a lamp fault is detected. Also, the
unique architecture of the ML4877 allows the
development of a backlight system that will inherently
meet the UL requirements for safety.
The ML4877 is optimized for large LCD applications
applications where high efficiency is critical to maximize
battery life. The high efficiency is achieved by a resonant
scheme with zero voltage switching.
