control via SMBus
High efficiency, 90% typical
Supports both floating secondary and
grounded secondary designs
ORDERING INFORMATION
OZ968G
- 16-pin plastic SOP
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OZ968 is a unique single-stage, high-
efficiency, CCFL backlight controller. It drives a
zero-voltage-switching circuit and provides a
near sinusoidal output voltage and current wave-
forms for a CCFL backlight. Typical operating
frequency ranges from 30KHz to 100KHz. These
advances drive the OZ968 beyond comparable
conventional inverter designs with two power
conversion stages (one operates at a variable
frequency, the other at a constant frequency).
Operating in a PWM push-pull drive, the trans-
former in an OZ968 backlight inverter requires
only one primary winding and one secondary
winding. The secondary winding requires no fold-
back treatment.
The OZ968 supports a bi-directional, two-wire
bus, data transmission protocol to control dim-
ming (32 levels) and contrast (256 levels). Sup-
ply current is 1mA in active mode, 150
μ
A in
standby mode.
The OZ968 is available in a 16-pin SOP pack-
age. It is specified over the commercial tempera-
ture range 0oC to +70oC.
