Two Selectable SMBus Addresses
to-lamp-current control” and communicates using the
2-wire SMBus serial interface. The LT1786F acts as an
SMBus slave device using one of two selectable SMBus
addresses set by the address pin ADR.
On Power-up, the DAC output current assumes midrange
or zero scale, depending on the logic state of the ADR
pin.The entire IC can be shut down through the SMBSUS
pin or by setting the SHDN bit = 1 in the SMBus command
byte. Digital data for the DAC output current is retained
internally and the supply current drops to 40µA for standby
operation. The active low SHDN pin disables the CCFL
control circuitry, but keeps the DAC alive. Supply current
in this operating mode drops to 150µA.
The LT1786F control circuitry operates from a logic supply
voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The IC also has a battery supply pin
that operates from 4.5V to 30V. The LT1786F draws 6mA
typical quiescent current. A 200kHz switching frequency
minimizes magnetic component size. Current mode switch-
ing techniques with cycle-by-cycle limiting gives high
reliability and simple loop frequency compensation. The
LT1786F is available in a 16-pin narrow SO package.
The LT
®
1786F is a fixed frequency, current mode, switch-
ing regulator that provides the control function for Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lighting (CCFL). The IC includes an
efficient high current switch, an oscillator, output drive
logic, control circuitry and a micropower 6-bit 100µA full-
scale current output DAC. The DAC provides simple “bits-
