Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) introduces the industry�s most
integrated CCFL backlight inverter drive ICs providing space and
cost savings, superior system reliability and simplified design for
N-N half-bridge, push-pull, and P-N full-bridge LCD backlight
inverter designs. The FAN7316 and FAN7317, featuring a wide input
voltage range, and built-in open lamp protection (OLP) and open
lamp regulation (OLR(a)) circuit, eliminate up to 30 external
components in four lamp circuit inverter designs compared to
similar devices on the market. These highly integrated CCFL
backlight inverter drive ICs also feature selectable dimming
polarity and analog and burst dimming functions, which simplify
design and speed time-to-market. �Fairchild�s FAN7316 and FAN7317
offer the industry�s most comprehensive protection functions
resulting in superior system reliability. By reducing the number of
components, these devices specifically address the ever-growing
need to reduce overall system cost in LCD designs,� said Jay Lee,
director of Fairchild�s Lighting product line. Industry-leading
benefits of the FAN7316 and FAN7317 include: Space and cost savings
� eliminating the need for external IC_VCC regulation circuitry and
OLP and OLR(a) detection circuitry and P-MOSFET driving
circuitry(a) with its wide input voltage range (FAN7316: 4.5V to
24V, FAN7317: 6V to 25.5V) and built-in OLP and OLR(a) detection
circuitry. This eliminates up to 30 external components. System
reliability � offering the industry�s most comprehensive protection
functions including built-in OLP circuit, open lamp regulation
(OLR), short circuit protection (SCP), thermal shutdown (TSD),
soft-start and arc protection. Design flexibility � featuring a
wide input voltage range, selectable dimming polarity, analog and
burst dimming mode and PWM dimming by an external pulse signal, the
FAN7316 and FAN7317 offer flexibility in designing N-N half-bridge,
push-pull and P-N full-bridge LCD backlight inverters. Fairchild
offers a comprehensive CCFL backlight inverter portfolio including
Buck-Royer, push-pull, half and full-bridge topologies complemented
by Fairchild�s single and dual MOSFETs. The FAN7316 and FAN7317 are
available in a 20 pin SOIC lead (Pb)-free package that meets or
exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard
J-STD-020C. Both utilize lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and have
been characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the
Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard
J-STD-020. All of Fairchild's products are designed to meet the
requirements of the European Union's Directive on the restriction
of the use of certain substances (RoHS). Price (each, 1000 pcs.): �
