OB3309

Product Specification

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
OB3309 is a highly integrated and high performance U-type Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) controller optimized for LCD display backlight application. Comprehensive protection functions are integrated, thus it provides a cost effective yet high reliability LCD backlight solution. Operating in push pull configuration, OB3309 converts DC input voltage to the pure sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms, to ignite and operate CCFL lamps. It provides a high degree of design flexibility by offering great programmability for key parameters which include operating frequency, striking frequency, striking time, dimming polarity, burst dimming frequency, soft-start time, and soft on/off time for burst dimming. Various dimming modes control and dimming polarity programmability are offered. Both internal burst and external low frequency PWM (LPWM) dimming methods are available for a wide range of dimming control. Analog dimming is also provided through external DC input control to achieve wide dimming range. The highly integrated OB3309 provides complete protection features covering output over voltage, over output current protection, lamp fail safe function, and IC under voltage lockout.

Function Description
General Operation OB3309 CCFL controller is designed for U-type CCFL's LCD backlight system applications configured in push pull topology; it converts the DC input voltage to pure sinusoidal waveforms for CCFL operating with high efficiency and low EMI emission. The resonant frequency of the tank is set by the transformer leakage inductance and secondary parallel capacitor. The lamp fault protection functions are integrated to provide a high reliability & simplifier solution with low system cost. Dimming polarity selection can be achieved by setting the voltage level at POL Pin. A typical application scheme is shown in figure 8 on page 10. Enable the Controller OB3309 is activated by applying logic high to the ENA input. It is TTL logic compatible. The controller is enabled when the voltage at ENA pin is higher than 2.0V. Toggling the ENA signal resets the state machine hence restarts the inverter system.

After the striking time out, the striking frequency will be switched to normal frequency and last for 64ms, if any one of the lamps still can not be lit, OB3309 will enters the shutdown mode as show in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Striking mode control Soft Start and Soft On/off External capacitor connected to CMP pin provides soft start and soft on/off control. At start up, an internal current source starts to charge the capacitor. Consequently, voltage at CMP pin increases gradually and so as to the pulse width of the PWM Gate signals. This soft start control helps to reduce the MOSFET inrush current and voltage stresses, thus expand the lamp life time. The slope of the soft start V / T can be approximated as:

The normal operation frequency, FOP, is set by the resistor connected to RT pin. It is given by

Normal Operation and Striking Frequency

Lamp Ignition and Striking Voltage Regulation To ignite CCFL, a much higher voltage than that in normal operation is required, especially for aged lamp or in low ambiance temperature. The output voltage is divided by the capacitive voltage divider. A voltage signal is fed into VS pins with diodes and their peaks are compared with internal 2.0V threshold voltage. Consequently, the maximum output voltage is regulated and limited. During ignition, OB3309 monitors the peak voltage levels at CS & PRT pins, it is recognized that all lamps are lit If the peak voltage of CS pin is higher than 0.85V and the voltage level at PRT pin is ŠOn-Bright Electronics

217 V[V] = T[mS] C CMP [nF] × RT//RI[kohm]
Once lamps are ignited, the capacitor connected to CMP pin performs the loop compensation function. In internal burst mode dimming or external burst (PWM) mode dimming conditions, the voltage ramping up and down at this pin performs a soft on/off control function in each burst cycle. Lamp Current Regulation Lamp current is regulated by the currents feedback loop with an internal transconductance error amplifier. Preliminary Datasheet OB_DOC_DS_330900

lower than 1.25V, then the system enters normal operating mode. Otherwise, the duty cycle of the gate drive signal will increase further to deliver more power to ignite the lamp. Once the duty cycle of gate drive signal reaches maxima of 45%, the internal striking timer will be triggered. If the lamps are lit before the time out, OB3309 enters the normal operation mode. Otherwise, it enters the shutdown mode. The striking time is given by:

Dimming Control Three commonly used dimming modes, analog mode dimming, internal burst mode dimming and external burst (PWM) dimming functions, are supported without any additional components. Different dimming modes are selected by BF/DMOD pin. The lamp brightness is determined by the control signal at DIM pin. Both in internal burst mode dimming and external PWM mode dimming, the polarity can be set by the voltage level at POL pin as shown in the following table:

Figure. 4 Vref of EA vs DIM voltage Internal burst mode dimming is obtained by connecting a capacitor to BF/DMOD pin. A low frequency triangular waveform generator is formed by the capacitor and internal circuit of IC. The triangular voltage waveform with peak of 2V and valley of 0.2V at this pin is used for the internal low frequency burst PWM generation. Duty cycle so as to lamp brightness is controlled by the analog signal at DIM pin. The burst mode dimming frequency Fburst is set by the following equation:

External LPWM burst dimming mode is selected by shorting BF/DMOD pin to ground. OB3309 accepts an external LPWM signal to DIM pin with a swing voltage of 0V to a level greater than 2V. The lamp brightness is controlled by the duty cycle of the LPWM signal. The burst frequency is equal to LPWM frequency.

A DC voltage ranging from 0.2V to 2V at DIM pin corresponds to a lamp brightness of approximately 100% to (2 - VDRC ) × 100% , as shown in Figure 5. 1.8

Connecting BF/DMOD pin to VDD selects analog mode dimming. A DC voltage ranging from 0.2V to 2V at DIM pin performs analog mode dimming control. The voltage at DIM pin modulates internal error amplifier reference voltage Vref_EA from 1.25V to VDRC, which corresponds to a lamp current of approximately 100% to (VDRC/1.25)×100%. Vref_EA can be calculated by the following equation:

The AC lamp currents are sensed by the sense resistors (refer to R24 in figure 8) connected in series with high voltage coupling inductance. The AC voltage across the sense resistors are fed into the CS pins. The peak of the sensed AC voltage is detected. The peak value is compared with an internal reference voltage. The error is amplified that controls the on time of the push pull switches, as a result, the lamp current is regulated. The lamp current can be calculated by the following equation:

The minimum voltage of Vref_EA is determined by the voltage at DRC which should be set in the range from 0V to 1.25V for analog dimming mode.

If the voltage of POL is higher than 2.05V, the dimming polarity is changed, and DC voltage from 0.2V to 2V at DIM pin corresponds to the lamp's brightness of approximately minimum duty cycle of burst dimming to 100%, as shown in Figure 6.

A DC voltage at DRC pin determines the minimum dimming thus it is used to adjust dimming range for analog mode dimming or internal burst mode dimming. Because the voltage of RT pin is fixed 2V when OB3309 is in operation, the voltage of DRC can be set by RT divided resistors, as shown in Figure 7. (Patent pending)

The OB3309 provides complete protection features that cover all common lamp fault conditions including: Lamp open or broken Two terminals of lamp are short together High voltage terminal of lamp is short to ground The sensed lamp voltage and current signals, CS, VS and PRT are used to monitor and detect the faults.

During normal operation, if the peak voltage level at CS pin is less than Vth_OLP, the lamp open or lamp broken is recognized and the system will shutdown after 160ms. If the peak voltage level at PRT pin is higher than Vth_PRT, an internal source current (14uA) charges the capacitor which connected STIME pin to ground. Once the voltage at STIME pin reaches 3V, the IC will shut down. But in internal burst mode dimming or external PWM mode dimming, if the dimming_on time is less than 480uS, these two protections are disabled. During normal operation, if VS peak voltage is more than 2.0V, it enters latched shutdown mode.
