LCD Backlight Inverter Drive IC (FAN7311)
1. Description
(PWM) driver stage, soft start, open lamp regulation, and
Under Voltage Lockout protection (UVLO). The FAN7311
includes an internal shunt regulator that allows operation
with an input voltage from 5V to 25.5V. It supports analog
and burst dimming modes of operation. The FAN7311 provides open lamp regulation and protection. Open lamp regulation protects the transformer from over-voltage during start
up or when an open lamp occurs. The transformer voltage is
regulated by reducing duty cycle when an over-voltage is
detected. Open lamp protection can be used to shut down an
IC when an open lamp condition continues longer than a
specified time.
Design goals for a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL)
inverter for use in a notebook computer or other portable
applications include small size, high efficiency, and low cost.
The FAN7311 provides the necessary circuit blocks to
implement a highly efficient CCFL backlight power supply
in 20-SSOP and 20-SOIC packages. The FAN7311 typically
consumes less than 4mA of operating current, improving
overall system efficiency. External parts count is minimized
and system cost is reduced by the integration of features
including; feedback-controlled Pulse Width Modulation

2.2 Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO circuit guarantees stable operation of the IC’s
control circuit by stopping and starting it as a function of the
VIN value. The UVLO circuit turns on the control circuit
when VIN exceeds 5V. When VIN is lower than 5V, the IC’s
standby current is less than 200µA.
2.3 ENA
Applying voltage higher than 2V to ENA pin enables the
operation of the IC. Applying voltage lower than 0.7V to
ENA pin disables the operation of the inverter.

2.6 Analog Dimming
For analog dimming, the lamp intensity is controlled with
the ADIM signal. A 2.5V on ADIM brings full brightness.
Analog dimming waveforms are shown in Figures 8 and 9.

The burst dimming frequency can be programmed by adjusting the values of RT and BCT. The burst dimming frequency
can be calculated as below.

The burst dimming frequency should be greater than 120Hz
to avoid visible flicker. To compare the input of BDIM pin
with the 0.5~2V triangular wave of burst oscillator makes
the PWM pulse for burst dimming. The PWM pulse controls
EA_OUT voltage by summing 85µA into the EA_IN pin.

For example, suppose:

From these values, an approximate value of Rcs2 can be
derived. To get a more precise value for RCS2, use an iterative calculation. Use Rsense to calculate RCS2, because the
Rsense_eq value is unknown. After finding the value of
Rsense_eq, use Rsense_eq to calculate RCS2. Calculate iteratively until the previous Rsense_eq value is almost equal to the
current Rsense_eq value.

(2.10)
V Amax. = 3.3, I Lamp.min = 3mA
(2.11)

(2.23)
For example:
Substituting for VA and VCS in equation (2.9) from equation
(2.11) results in:
V ref = 2.5V, I lampmax = 6.7mA, I lampmin = 4mA,
V Amax ⋅ R FB + V CSmin ⋅ R A
V ref = -------------------------------------------------------------------R FB + R A
R FB = 100kΩ, R sense = 1.5kΩ , R CSI = 10kΩ
V Amax ⋅ R FB + α ⋅ V CSmax ⋅ R A
= ----------------------------------------------------------------------------R FB + R A
(2.14)
Multiplying equation (2.13) by RFB + RA gives:
V ref ⋅ R FB + V ref ⋅ R A = V CSmax ⋅ R A
(2.15)
From these values, it is possible to obtain the value of RCS2.
To get more precise value of RCS2, use an iterative calculation. Use Rsense to calculate RCS2, because Rsense_eq is
unknown. After the first calculation, Rsense_eq can be
resolved. Calculate the RCS2 value using Rsense_eq. Calculate
iteratively until the previous Rsense_eq value becomes almost
equal to the current Rsense_eq value.

The calculated data
Vref ⋅ R FB + Vref ⋅ R A = VAmax ⋅ R FB + α ⋅ VCSmax ⋅ R A
(2.16)
( V ref – V Amax ) ⋅ R FB + V ref ⋅ R A = α ⋅ V CSmax ⋅ R A
(2.17)
Multiplying equation (2.15) by α gives:
α ⋅ V ref ⋅ R FB + α ⋅ V ref ⋅ R A = α ⋅ V CSmax ⋅ R A

APPLICATION NOTE
2.7 Burst Dimming
Lamp intensity is controlled with the BDIM signal. 0V on
BDIM commands full brightness. The duty cycle of the burst
dimming comparator determines the lamp brightness as a
percent of the rated lamp current. Burst dimming is implemented by summing 85µA into the feedback node to turn
down the lamp. If there is sufficient voltage for the lamp to
strike, the feedback loop controls the lamp at the rated current using a fixed current-sense resistor. When the voltage of
EA_IN is brought higher than Vref, EA_OUT becomes low
and the MOSFET stops switching. At this time, the resonant
tank voltage decays until the lamp extinguishes. CFB is
reduced, if possible, to speed up the lamp re-strike. Burst
dimming waveforms are shown in Figures 12, 13, and 14.
Figure 14. Burst Dimming at 25%
2.8 Open Lamp Regulation and Open Lamp
Protection
Power stage operation must be suspended if an open lamp
occurs, because the power stage is at high gain. When a voltage higher than 2V is applied to the OLR (Open Lamp Regulation) pin, the part enters the regulation mode and controls
EA_OUT voltage to limit the lamp voltage by adding 105µA
into the feedback node. The OLP (Open Lamp Protection)
capacitor, which is connected to the OLP pin, is charged by
the 1.4µA internal current source.
Figure 12. Burst Dimming at 75%
2.8.1 Open Lamp at Initial Operation
OLP voltage starts from 1V. After reaching 2.5V, the IC
shuts down when all the output are high.
The relationship between the OLP capacitor and the time ΔT
before the IC shuts down is calculated using the approximation I = CΔV/ΔT, where I = 1.4μA, ΔV = 1.5V, resulting in
ΔT(s) = 1.1C(μF).
2.8.2 Normal Operation and Open Lamp
OLP voltage starts at 0V. After reaching 1.5V, the IC shuts
down when all the outputs are high.
The relationship between the OLP capacitor and the time ΔT
before the IC shuts down is calculated using the approximation I = CΔV/ΔT, where I = 1.4μA, ΔV = 1.5V, resulting in
ΔT(s) = 1.1C(μF).

Figure 15. Operating OLP
In normal operation, the voltage of D3’s cathode is over 1V
and D3 is turned off; Q1 is on; and OLP remains low. When
open lamp occurs, the voltage of D3’s cathode is under 1V
and either D3 is turned on. Then Q1 is turned off and OLP
start charging by an internal current source of 1.4µA. If OLP
reaches 2V, the IC is shut down. The base current of Q1
should be more than 1.4µA/hfe. R6 is determined by this
condition. R4, R5, R7, and R8 are determined so that Q1 and
D4 are turned off in the open lamp condition. C1 and C2 are
determined so that the voltage of D3’s cathode is over 1V in
normal operation.

2.11 PCB Layout Guideline
1.
Separating ground for analog and power portions of circuitry is one of the simplest and most effective methods
of noise suppression. This is shown in Figure 24.
2.
The traces between drive output and the MOSFET gates
should be as short as possible and as wide as possible.
3.
The traces of RT, CT, and BCT should be kept away from
high-current components and traces.

1) Select Transformer’s Primary Turns
The maximum value of MVr is obtained by differentiating
the quantity under the square-root sign with respect to f/fo
and setting the result equal to zero. Hence, the normalized
peak frequency is:

(3.22)
The magnitude of the DC-to-AC voltage transfer function of

The number of primary turns is determined by Faraday’s

(3.23)
Δtmax = Maximum overlap on-time of diagonal
MOSFET switches (us)
Ae = Core cross-sectional area (mm2)
A transformer used in a full-bridge topology operates in two
quadrants of the B-H curve such that the maximum magnetic
flux density is Bmax = 0.5ΔB. For most cores, saturation
magnetic flux density is about 400mT. Margin considered,
determine that the maximum magnetic flux density Bmax =
0.5 Bsat, so the maximum magnetic flux density is Bmax =
200mT. In an example with a minimum voltage of 9V, operating frequency 50KHz, maximum on time of diagonal
MOSFET switches of 10µs and a core cross-sectional area
(EPC17, EPC19, EFD1820) of 22mm2, the minimum number of primary turns required is:

2) Select QL and Operation Frequency to Determine the
Turns Ratio
Select a value of 1 for QL. Assume that fop = fpk = 50kHz
based on the LCD panel specification. From (3.21), the corner frequency is:
f pk

f o = ------------------------- = ------------------------------ = 70.7 ( kHz )

f r = f o ⋅ 1 – --------2- = f pk ⋅ ------------------------- = 0 ( kHz )

QL
1 – -----------22Q L
Therefore, zero-voltage switching (ZVS) can be achieved at
any operating frequency. For the reference design, the
required secondary lamp voltage is 585V and the minimum
voltage is 9V. Therefore, from (3.23), the minimum number
of the turns ratio is:

3) Determine the Required Output Capacitance
Using the above specifications, the equivalent resistance of a
CCFL is:
The corner frequency is 70.7kHz. Assume a parasitic capacitance per lamp of 10pF. Each parasitic capacitance is effectively in parallel with each of the output capacitors.
The output capacitor is:
QL
C out = C p – C para = --------------------- – 10pF ≈ 21pF,
ω o R lamp
∴Q L = ω o R lamp C p
Using (3.3), the value of the leakage inductance is:
1
≈ 164.6 ( mH )
L I = --------------2
ωo Cp
Note: Considering minimum primary turns, minimum turns
ratio, and leakage inductance, determine primary turns, turns
ratio, and the gap of core to get the required leakage inductance. For the sample design, the number of primary turns is
30Ts and that of the secondary turns is 2200Ts. Turns ratio is
66.7.
4) Select the Proper Wire Gauges for the Primary and
Secondary Transformer Windings
The approximate primary winding rms current Ip and
approximate secondary winding rms current Is are determined by the following equations.
