DS3881 Rev 1 8/07 Single-Channel Automotive CCFL Controller General Description Features Single-Channel CCFL Controller for Backlighting The DS3881 is a single-channel cold-cathode fluores- LCD Panels and Instrument Clusters in cent lamp (CCFL) controller for automotive applications Automotive Navigation/Infotainment Applications that provides up to 300:1 dimming. It is ideal for driving CCFLs used to backlight liquid crystal displays (LCDs) Minimal External Components Required in navigation and infotainment applications and for dri- 2 I C Interface ving CCFLs used to backlight instrument clusters. The Per-Channel Lamp-Fault Monitoring for Lamp- DS3881 is also appropriate for use in marine and avia- Open, Lamp-Overcurrent, Failure to Strike, and tion applications. Overvoltage Conditions The DS3881 features EMI suppression functionality and Status Register Reports Fault Conditions provides a lamp current overdrive mode for rapid lamp Accurate (5%) Independent On-Board Oscillators heating in cold weather conditions.
