摘要:
An LCD backlight inverter includes a soft starter for generating a soft-start reference voltage gradually increasing as the driving power begins to be supplied. The LCD backlight inverter also includes a first error detector for receiving a first feedback voltage indicating the magnitude of driving current of the lamp and for comparing a smaller value out of a predetermined first reference voltage and the soft-start reference voltage with the first feedback voltage to generate a first error signal corresponding to the difference between the smaller value and the soft-start reference voltage. The LCD backlight inverter further includes a pulse width modulation comparator for comparing the first error signal and a triangle wave oscillation signal to output the pulse width modulation control signal with a predetermined duty ratio. The LCD backlight inverter prevents application of over-current and over-voltage to the LCD backlight to prolong the lifetime of the backlight.

The invention relates to a driving apparatus for a CCFL capable of providing a high output voltage necessary for an open lamp and thereby satisfying a voltage standard required to drive the lamp. In the driving apparatus, an inverter made of a switching circuit of a half-bridge structure is used to generate current for driving the lamp. If the lamp is open, a tuning capacitor current of an oscillator, which provides a reference clock for driving a switch of the inverter is incremented so that a clock frequency which is a basis for a switching speed of the inverter is boosted. This consequently increases the switching speed of the inverter and then an output voltage.

In a driving circuit for an LCD backlight, a fundamental wave generator generates a triangle wave signal and a square wave signal in accordance with time constant of a time constant circuit including a time constant capacitor. A PWM comparator compares a difference signal between a feedback voltage and a preset reference voltage with the triangle wave signal to generate a PWM signal in response to the comparison result. A signal synchronizer sets a connection node between the time constant capacitor and the fundamental wave generator and an output terminal of the square wave signal in accordance with a power level of the LCD backlight. Also, a driving signal generator generates a driving signal in response to the square wave signal from the fundamental wave generator and the PWM signal from the PWM comparator. The driving circuit enables PWM controlling integrated circuits to be synchronized together.
