Abstract

This paper presents a simple LCD CCFL-backlight resonant inverter. First, in introduction various conventional inverter topologies for the CCFL are reviewed, briefly, and then, in each main subject the proposed inverter is explained, in detail. The proposed inverter utilizes a new class-E resonant circuit with a single-switch and is controlled by a single-chip microcontroller, which is very simple. Moreover, the proposed inverter can ensure resonant zero voltage switching (ZVS) under most operating conditions and performs simply the digital dimming control. It is shown through experimental results that the proposed inverter has good performance for the LCD CCFL-backlight.

본 논문에서는 간단한 LCD CCFL백라이트 공진형 인버터를 제안한다. 먼저 서론에서 다양한 전통적 CCFL 인버터의 토폴로지들을 간략하게 살펴보고, 그 다음 각 본론에서 제안한 인버터에 대하여 구체적으로 설명한다. 제안한 인버터는 단일스위치를 가진 새로운 E-계열 공진회로를 이용하며 단일칩 마이크로컨트롤러에 의해 제어된다. 그리하여 제안한 컨버터는 매우 간단하다. 더욱이 제안한 컨버터는 대부분의 동작조건에서 공진 영전압스위칭을 확보할 수 있으며 디지털 디밍제어를 간단하게 수행한다. 제안한 인버터가 LCD CCFL백라이트 인버터로 좋은 성능을 가지고 있음을 실험결과를 통하여 보인다.
