MP1022A

CCFL Driver
for Handheld Applications
Monolithic Power Systems
General Description Features
The MP1022A is a Power IC that offers a complete Input Voltage VIN= 4.5V to 5.5V
solution for driving a single Cold Cathode Increase transformer reliability
Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL). This Power IC converts Open lamp timer and regulation
unregulated DC voltage to a nearly pure sine wave Current and Voltage feedback control
required to ignite and operate the CCFL. Logic Level burst mode control
1.0V to 12V power input
Based on proprietary power topology and control Supports Open/Short Lamp protection
techniques (patents pending), it greatly increases Soft Start
the power conversion efficiency. The MP1022A Outputs are short circuit protected
supports both analog and burst mode dimming
Allows Burst-Mode Operation
simplifying the module implementation. The
Improved line transient response
MP1022A offers these distinct performance
Tightened lamp current accuracy
advantages:
2 Watt Evaluation Board Available
1. More light for less power
2. Small board implementation
3. Low RF emission
4. Low external components cost Applications
LCD backlight inverter for handheld display
Ordering Information applications similar to: Camcorders, Digital
cameras, HPC, GPS
