Description

The DS3991 is a controller for cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) that are used to backlight liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The DS3991 is available for both push-pull and half-bridge drive topologies.

The DS3991 converts a DC voltage (5V to 24V) to the high-voltage (300VRMS to 1400VRMS) AC waveform that is required to power the CCFLs. The push-pull and halfbridge drive schemes use a minimal number of external components, which reduces component and assembly cost and makes the printed circuit board (PCB) design easy to implement. Both drive schemes provide an efficient DC to AC conversion and produce near-sinusoidal waveforms.
