Block Diagram of the Inverter Circuitry. µf Base Divide by Discharger High Frequency Oscillator amp Theory of Operation lectroluminescent () lamps are essentially capacitors with one transparent electrode and a special phosphor material in the dielectric. The phosphor glows when a strong AC voltage is applied across the lamp electrodes. The required AC voltage is typically not present in most systems and must be generated from a low voltage DC source. Rogers developed its patented three-port (P) switch-mode inverter circuit to convert the available DC supply to an optimal drive signal for high brightness and lownoise lamp applications. Rogers P topology offers the simplicity of a single DC input, single AC output, and a shared common ground that provides an integrated MI shielding The DA IC drives the lamp by repeatedly pumping charge through an external inductor with current from a DC source and discharging into the capacitance of the lamp load. With each high frequency (HF) charging cycle the voltage on the lamp is increased. After HF charging cycles, the lamp voltage is discharged to ground in the period of HF cycles. Then, the polarity of the inductive charging is reversed, and the charging and discharging cycles are repeated. By this means, a low frequency (F) alternating positive and negative voltage is developed at the single output lead of the device to one of the electrodes of the lamp. Commonly connected to ground, the other lamp electrode can then be considered as electrical shielding for any underlying circuitry in the application. The driving system is divided into several parts: on-chip logic and control, on-chip high voltage output circuitry, discharge logic circuitry, and off-chip components. The on-chip logic controls the lamp operating frequency (F) as well as the inductor switching frequency (HF), and the HF and F duty cycles. These signals are combined and buffered to drive the high voltage output circuitry. The output circuitry handles the power through the inductor and delivers the high voltage to the lamp. The integrated discharge logic circuit enables the low-noise functionality of this driver. The selection of off-chip components provides a degree of flexibility to accommodate various lamp sizes, system voltages, and brightness levels. Since a key objective of driver systems is to save space and cost, required off-chip components are kept to a minimum. Rogers also provides a DA IC Designer s Kit, which includes a PC board intended to aid you in developing an lamp driver configuration that meets your requirements using the DA IC. A section on designing with the DA IC is included in this datasheet to serve as a guide to help you select the appropriate external components to complete your DA driver system. Typical DA IC configurations for driving lamps in various applications are shown below. The expected system outputs, such as lamp luminance; lamp output frequency and voltage; and average supply current draw for the various circuit configurations are also shown with each respective figure.

Designing with A DA IC Driver I. amp Frequency Capacitor () Selection Selecting the appropriate value of capacitor will specify the inductor switching frequency (HF) and the lamp frequency (F) of the DA IC driver. A divider circuit in the internal oscillator circuitry of the DA IC divides the inductor switching frequency by to get the lamp frequency (F = HF/). amp frequencies of Hz are typically used for longer lamp life. Figure graphically represents the effect of capacitor value on the lamp frequency oscillator at =.V. In this example at =.V, F = nf-hz/. amp Frequency (Hz) (nf) Figure : Typical amp Frequency vs. CF Capacitor Alternatively, a high frequency clock input may be connected to the pin of the DA IC to specify the output driver frequency. The internal oscillator circuitry in the DA IC divides the input clock frequency by to get the output frequency. Therefore, for example, to get a Hz lamp frequency from a DA IC, the input clock signal must be khz. The selection of the capacitor value can also affect the brightness of the lamp because of its control of F and HF. Although input voltage and lamp size can change lamp frequency as well, F mainly depends on the value selected or the frequency of the input clock signal to. Figure shows typical brightness of a DA IC circuit with respect to lamp frequency on different lamp sizes. In this example, the supply voltage and inductor values were kept constant while only varying frequency. 9 amp Frequency (Hz) in in in Figure : uminance vs. amp Frequency ( =.V, DUR Green amps) IT-I9 Rev A Page of
II. Inductor () Selection The external inductor () selection for a DA IC circuit greatly affects the output capability and current draw of the driver. A careful designer will balance current draw considerations with output performance in the choice of an ideal inductor for a particular application. Figures and show typical brightness and current draw of a DA IC circuit with different inductor values, lamp sizes, and supply voltages. Please note that the DC resistance (DCR) of inductors with the same nominal inductance value may vary with manufacturer and inductor type. Therefore, inductors made by a different manufacturer may yield different outputs, but the trend of the different curves should be similar. amp luminance is also a function of lamp size. In each example, a larger lamp will have less luminance with approximately the same current draw. uminance (f) uminance Current Inductor (mh) Figure : uminance and current vs. inductor value.

III. PNP Transistor Selection The DA IC requires an external PNP transistor to complete the high voltage P circuitry. Ideally, this transistor should have a minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage higher than the required peak voltage output of the driver. It should also have a high DC current gain (>) and fast switching characteristics. Rogers typically recommends the MMBTA surface mount amplifier transistor for general purpose because it is a standard device part number supplied by several large manufacturers. The MMBTA has a breakdown voltage that is normally above V although it has a minimum rating of V only. The counterpart internal NPN transistor in the DA IC has a minimum V breakdown, with typical breakdown value above V. Under most nominal design considerations using the DA IC, the MMBTA is an appropriate selection. Nevertheless, caution is advised to limit designs well within the maximum output voltage ratings of all devices to avoid failure of the IC or any required external components. DA IC Design Ideas I. Alternate amp Connection In some applications it may be more convenient to connect the lamp to the supply voltage rather than ground. This type of connection (shown below) provides design flexibility and does not degrade driver performance. This configuration may also be used to minimize any positive DC bias on the lamp.

II. Driving Multi-segment amps The DA IC may be used to drive multiple lamp segments. An external transistor switching circuit is used to turn each lamp segment on or off independently or simultaneously. A high signal at the corresponding input will enable the corresponding lamp segment. In this configuration, amp is always turned on when the IC is enabled. Otherwise, always make sure that at least one lamp segment is selected to be on when the DA IC is enabled.

IV. Controlling Brightness through Clock Pulse Width Modulation Pulse-width modulation of an external clock signal that controls the inductor oscillating frequency may also be used to regulate the brightness of an lamp. In this circuit, when the positive duty cycle of the external clock is at %, the lamp is at full brightness. Incremental dimming occurs as the positive duty cycle is increased to as high as %. This scheme may also be used inversely to regulate lamp brightness over the life of the battery or to compensate for lamp aging. In these cases, positive duty cycle may be incrementally increased as part of a feedback control in the application. (Note: Operation at duty cycles higher than % or lower than % is not recommended.).v Min.V Max HF CK BAS DA amp. µ F V. Two-evel Dimming Control Two level dimming may be achieved, as captioned in the example shown below. When DIM is low, the external PNP transistor is saturated and the lamp runs at full brightness.
