Maxim Integrated DS3992Z-09N T&R

Description
The DS3992 is a low-cost, two-channel controller for cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) used to backlight liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It can drive multiple CCFLs per channel, making it ideal for 4- and 6-lamp LCD PC monitor and TV applications. The DS3992 uses a push-pull drive scheme to convert a DC voltage (5V to 24V) to the high voltage (300VRMS to 1400VRMS) AC waveform required to power the CCFLs. The push-pull drive scheme minimizes external components, reducing cost and simplifying PC board design. It also provides efficient DC-to-AC conversion and produces near-sinusoidal waveforms.
