FUNCTIONAL INFORMATION
1. Steady-State Operation
Refer to the schematic shown in Figure 1, the OZ960 drives a full-bridge power train where the transformer couples the energy from the power source to the secondary CCFL load. The switches in the bridge denoted as QA, QB, QC and QD are configured such that QA and QB, QC and QD are turned on complementarily. The duration of QA and QD, QB and QC turn on simultaneously determines an amount of energy put into the transformer which in turn delivers to the CCFL. The current in CCFL is sensed via resistor R9 and regulated through the adjustment of the turn-on time for both diagonal switches. This is accomplished through an error amplifier in the current feedback loop. A voltage loop is also established to monitor the output voltage so that a programmable striking voltage is achieved. The OVP represents the peak-detect signal of the voltage on the output of the transformer. A softstart circuit ensures a gradual increase in the input and output power. The soft-start capacitor determines the rate of rise of the voltage on SST pin where the voltage level determines the ontime duration of QA and QD, QB and QC diagonal switches. This minimizes the surge impacts in circuit designs. Apply enable signal to the ENA pin of the IC after the bias voltage applied to VDDA initiates the operation of the circuit. The output drives, include PDR_A, NDR_B, PDR_C and NDR_D put out a complementary square pulse. The frequency is determined by R4 and C5 where they are connected to RT and CT pins respectively. Initially, the energy converted from the power source to the CCFL is low due to the soft start function. It increases as soft start capacitor voltage increases linearly with time. The voltage at the secondary side of the transformer T1 increases correspondingly. This process continues until the CCFL current is detected and reaches a regulated value. The output of the error amplifier, CMP, follows the feedback signal, commands a proper switching among the four output drives to maintain current regulation. The operations of the four switches are implemented with zero-voltage-switching to provide a highefficiency power conversion. In the case of open-lamp condition, the OZ960 provides a programmable striking-frequency intelligence to optimize the ignition scheme. This is implemented through resistor R5. Effectively, R5 is in parallel with R4 to yield a required striking frequency. In addition, the striking time is also programmable through the capacitor C8. Striking voltage, or the open-lamp voltage, is regulated through a voltage feedback loop where output voltage is monitored. The signal, being sent to the OVP pin, commands the output drives to provide the desired output voltage. This design provides high degree of flexibility while maintaining OZ960 a very high integration device. One protection feature needed is removing the lamp during normal operation. The OZ960 senses the missing current signal through current amplifier, it shuts off the output drives and stay in the latched mode. This is differentiated intelligently with turning on the inverter while CCFL is not connected. Recycle of the IC power is necessary to resume normal operation. Dimming control: dimming control of the inverter is implemented by adjusting the amount of energy processed and delivered to the CCFL. A PWM burst-mode scheme is internally generated which provides 0% to 100% wide dimming control. An input analog voltage signal is fed into DIM pin and determines the dimming level of the CCFL. The burst-mode frequency is programmable through a capacitor C10 as shown in the schematic. The OZ960 inverter operates in a constant frequency mode. This eliminates any undesired interference between inverter and LCD panels where the interference is usually associated with variable-frequency designs. Symmetrical drive to the power transformer gives a very dynamic choice of selecting transformers. This vulnerable design offers flexibility to the system designers to choose transformer sources. There is no limitation to the gap-less transformer.

2. CCFL Ignition Time
Ignition time for CCFLs varies with CCFL length, diameter, module package and temperature. The OZ960 provides a flexible design where a capacitor is connected to CTIMR pin to determine the necessary striking time. An approximate of the timing calculation is: T[second] = C[uF] This capacitor remains reset at no charge if lamp is connected and at normal operation.

OZ960-DS-1.6

3. Protection
Open-lamp protection in the ignition period is provided through both OVP and CTIMR to ensure a rated voltage is achieved and a required timing is satisfied. Removal of the CCFL during normal operation will trigger the current amplifier output and shuts off the inverter. This is a latch function. striking voltage and frequency. This add-on feature could optimally accomplish the ignition process so that the CCFL life could be extended. When RT1 is used, it is connected in parallel with RT during the ignition period.

9. Burst-Mode Dimming Control
The OZ960 integrates a burst-mode dimming function to perform a wide dimming control for the CCFLs. The burst-mode frequency is determined by a capacitor C10 connected to LCT pin. The frequency can be calculated approximately by:
1496 f[Hz] = CLCT[nF]

4. OVP
The OVP threshold is set at 2V nominal. When the output voltage reaches the threshold, it commands the PWM controller to maintain the driving level. This ensures that output gets sufficient striking voltage while operating the power transformer safely.

5. ENA
Applying positive TTL logic to the ENA pin enables the operation of the IC. The threshold of the ENA is set at 1.5V. Apply logic low to the ENA pin will disable the operation of the inverter. Toggle this signal allows the on/off tests for the inverter. The Dim pin compares with the triangle wave in LCT and yields a proper pulse width to modulate the CCFL current. This pulse can also be monitored through LPWM pin. The peak and valley of the LCT signal is 3V and 1V respectively.

6. Soft-Start -- SST
The soft-start function is provided with a capacitor connected to SST pin. The soft-start time is not related to the striking time for the CCFL. It simply provides a rate of rise for the pulse width where diagonal switches are turned on. Normally, a 0.47uF capacitor is connected.

10. Output Drives
The four output drives are designed so that switches QA and QB, QC and QD never turn on simultaneously. These include two NMOS and two PMOS transistors. The configuration prevents any shoot-through issue associated with bridge-type power conversion applications. Adjusting the overlap conduction between QA and QD, QB and QC, the CCFL current regulation is achieved. This overlap is also adjusted while the voltage applied from the battery varies. At a specific CCFL current, the input power is maintained almost constant.

7. Error Amplifier
The CCFL current is regulated through this error amplifier. It also provides an intelligence of differentiating open-lamp striking versus removing the lamp during normal operation. The non-inverting reference is at 1.25V nominal.

8. Operating frequency
A resistor RT and a capacitor CT determine the operating frequency of OZ960. The frequency is calculated as:
68.5·104 f[kHz] = CT[pF]·RT[k]

The OZ960 also provides an optional striking frequency as desired. CCFL in a LCD module possesses parasitic that may require different
