DC/AC Inverter from Taiyo Yuden
TAIYO YUDEN has announced a compact, low-profile DC/AC inverter for driving cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) back-lighting applications. Designed specifically for use with 10-17in industrial-grade LCD panels, the LS6D-1012A-RH provides dual LCD panel capability. It features brightness / backlight on-off control.
ThisAvailable now in OEM quantities, the RoHS-compliant LS6D-1012A-RH LCD backlight driver provides an input of 12Vdc and an output current of 3.3-6mArms per lamp. The device’s CCFL driving circuit includes a self-oscillating DC-to-AC converter, known as a Royer circuit, which minimizes EMI compared to other control methods. Total device power output is 5W per lamp, or 10W total. Physically, the LS6D-1012A-RH measures only 7.09” (180mm) L x 1.46” (37mm) W x 0.39” (10mm) H. Other specifications include 1500Vrms minimum start-up voltage, 2A maximum input current and wide operating and storage temperature ranges of -20 to +70C and -30 to +85C, respectively.
