DESCRIPTION

The MP1048 is a fixed operating frequency

inverter controller that controls four external

N-Channel power MOSFETs in a full-bridge

configuration. The inverter is designed to power

up to 6 cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs)

to backlight liquid crystal displays. Its full-bridge

architecture converts unregulated DC input

voltages to the nearly pure sine waves required

to ignite and operate CCFLs.

For reliable lamp ignition, the operating

frequency is set by an external resistor and

during startup is temporarily swept toward the

unloaded resonant frequency of the tank. Burst

mode or analog mode dimming are controlled

with an external analog signal. Built-in fault

management features include an open lamp

regulator, a transformer secondary peak current

regulator and a dual-mode fault timer. The

secondary over-current timeout can be

shortened with external components. The

MP1048 is available in TSSOP28 and SOIC28

packages.
