General Description
The MAX1739/MAX1839 fully integrated controllers are
optimized to drive cold-cathode fluorescent lamps
(CCFLs) using the industry-proven Royer oscillator
inverter architecture. The Royer architecture provides
near sinusoidal drive waveforms over the entire input
range to maximize the life of CCFLs. The MAX1739/
MAX1839 optimize this architecture to work over a wide
input voltage range, achieve high efficiency, and maxi-
mize the dimming range.
The MAX1739/MAX1839 monitor and limit the trans-
former center-tap voltage when required. This ensures
minimal voltage stress on the transformer, which
increases the operating life of the transformer and
eases its design requirements. These controllers also
provide protection against many other fault conditions,
including lamp-out and buck short faults.
These controllers achieve 50:1 dimming range by
simultaneously adjusting lamp current and “chopping”
the CCFL on and off using a digitally adjusted pulse-
width modulated (DPWM) method. CCFL brightness is
controlled by an analog voltage or is set with an
SMBusTM-compatible two-wire interface (MAX1739).
The MAX1739/MAX1839 drive an external high-side
N-channel power MOSFET and two low-side N-channel
power MOSFETs, all synchronized to the Royer oscilla-
tor. An internal 5.3V linear regulator powers the MOS-
FET drivers and most of the internal circuitry. The
MAX1739/MAX1839 are available in space-saving
20-pin QSOP packages and operate over the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX1739/MAX1839 regulate the brightness of a
CCFL in three ways:
1) Linearly controlling the lamp current.
2) Digitally pulse-width modulating (or chopping) the
lamp current (DPWM).
3) Using both methods simultaneously for widest dim-
ming range.
DPWM is implemented by pulse-width modulating the
lamp current at a rate faster than the human eye can
detect. Figure 1 shows the current and voltage wave-
forms for the three operating modes with the brightness
control set to 50% of full scale.
The MAX1739/MAX1839 include a 5.3V linear regulator
to power most of the internal circuitry, drivers for the
buck and Royer switches, and the synchronizable
DPWM oscillator. The MAX1739/MAX1839 are very flex-
ible and include a variety of operating modes, an ana-
log interface, an SMBus interface (MAX1739 only), a
shutdown mode, lamp-out detection, and buck-switch
short detection.

Voltage and Current Control Loops
The MAX1739/MAX1839 use two control loops. The cur-
rent control loop regulates the average lamp current. The
voltage control loop limits the maximum average primary-
side transformer voltage. The voltage control loop is
active during the beginning of DPWM on-cycles and in
some fault conditions. Limiting the transformer primary
voltage allows for a lower transformer secondary voltage
rating that can increase reliability and decrease cost of
the transformer. The voltage control loop acts to limit the
transformer voltage any time the current control loop
attempts to steer the transformer voltage above its limit as
set by VCTFB (see Sense Resistors).
The voltage control loop uses a transconductance
amplifier to create an error current based on the volt-
age between CTFB and the internal reference level
(600mV typ) (Figure 2). The error current is then used
to charge and discharge CCCV to create an error volt-
age VCCV. The current control loop produces a similar
signal based on the voltage between CSAV and its
internal reference level (see the Dimming Range sec-
tion). This error voltage is called VCCI. The lower of
VCCV and VCCI is used with the buck regulator’s PWM
ramp generator to set the buck regulator’s duty cycle.
During DPWM, the two control loops work together to
limit the transformer voltage and to allow wide dimming
range with good line rejection. During the DPWM off-
cycle, VCCV is set to 1.2V and CCI is set to high imped-
ance. VCCV is set to 1.2V to create soft-start at the
beginning of each DPWM on-cycle in order to avoid
overshoot on the transformer primary. VCCI is set to
high impedance to keep VCCI from changing during the
off-cycles. This allows the current control loop to regu-
late the average lamp current only during DPWM on-
cycles and not the overall average lamp current.
Upon power-up, VCCI slowly rises, increasing the duty
cycle, which provides soft-start. During this time, VCCV,
which is the faster control loop, is limited to 150mV
above VCCI by the CCV-CLAMP. Once the secondary
voltage reaches the strike voltage, the lamp current
begins to increase. When the lamp current reaches the
regulation point, VCCI reaches steady state. With MIN-
DAC = VL (DPWM disabled), the current control loop
remains in control and regulates the lamp current.
With MINDAC between REF and GND, DPWM is
enabled and the MAX1739/MAX1839 begin pulsing the
lamp current. During the on-cycle, VCCV is at 150mV
above VCCI. After the on-cycle, VCCV is forced down to
1.2V to provide soft-start at the beginning of the next
on-cycle. Also, VCCI retains its value until the beginning
of the next on-cycle. When VCCV increases, it causes
the buck regulator duty cycle to increase and provides
soft-start. When VCCV crosses over VCCI, the current
control loop regains control and regulates the lamp cur-
rent. VCCV is limited to 150mV above VCCI for the
remainder of the on-cycle.
In a lamp-out condition, VCCI increases the primary
voltage in an attempt to maintain lamp current regula-
tion. As VCCI rises, VCCV rises with it until the primary
voltage reaches its set limit point. At this point, VCCV
stops rising and limits the primary voltage by limiting
the duty cycle. Because VCCV is limited to 150mV
above VCCI, the voltage control loop is quickly able to
limit the primary voltage. Without this clamping feature,
the transformer voltage would overshoot to dangerous
levels because VCCV would take more time to slew
down from its supply rail. Once the MAX1739/MAX1839
sense less than 1/6 the full-scale current through the
lamp for 2 seconds, it shuts down the Royer oscillator
(see Lamp-Out Detection).
See the Sense Resistors section for information about
setting the voltage and current control loop thresholds.
Feed-Forward Control
Both control loops are influenced by the input voltage
feed-forward (VBATT) control circuitry of the MAX1739/
MAX1839. Feed-forward control instantly adjusts the
buck regulator’s duty cycle when it detects a change in
input voltage. This provides immunity to changes in
input voltage at all brightness levels. This feature
makes compensation over wide input ranges easier,
makes startup transients less dependent on input volt-
age, and improves line regulation for short DPWM on-
times.
The MAX1739/MAX1839 feed-forward control is imple-
mented by varying the amplitude of the buck-switch’s
PWM ramp amplitude. This has the effect of varying the
duty cycle as a function of input voltage while maintain-
ing the same VCCI and VCCV. In other words, VBATT feed
forward has the effect of not requiring changes in error-
signal voltage (VCCI and VCCV) to respond to changes in
VBATT. Since the capacitors only need to change their
voltage minimally to respond to changes in VBATT, the
controller’s response is essentially instantaneous.
Transient Overvoltage Protection
from Dropout
The MAX1739/MAX1839 are designed to maintain tight
control of the transformer primary under all transient
conditions. This includes transients from dropout,
where VBATT is so low that the controller loses regula-
tion and reaches maximum duty cycle. Backlight
designs will want to choose circuit component values to
minimize the transformer turns ratio in order to minimize
primary-side currents and I2R losses. To achieve this,

allow the circuit to operate in dropout at extremely low
battery voltages where the backlight’s performance is
secondary. All backlight circuit designs can undergo a
transient overvoltage condition when the laptop is
plugged into the AC adapter and VBATT suddenly
increases. The MAX1739/MAX1839 contain a unique
clamp circuit on VCCI. Along with the feed-forward cir-
cuitry, it ensures that there is not a transient transformer
overvoltage when leaving dropout.
The PK_DET_CLAMP circuit limits VCCI to the peaks of
the buck-regulator’s PWM ramp generator. As the cir-
cuit reaches dropout, VCCI approaches the peaks of
the PWM ramp generator in order to reach maximum
duty cycle. If VBATT decreases further, the control loop
loses regulation and VCCI tries to reach its positive sup-
ply rail. The clamp circuit on VCCI keeps this from hap-
pening, and VCCI rides just above the peaks of the
PWM ramp. As VBATT decreases further, the feed-for-
ward PWM ramp generator loses amplitude and the
clamp drags VCCI down with it to a voltage below
where VCCI would have been if the circuit was not in
dropout. When VBATT is suddenly increased out of
dropout, VCCI is still low and maintains the drive on the
transformer at the old dropout level. The circuit then
slowly corrects and increases VCCI to bring the circuit
back into regulation.
Buck Regulator
The buck regulator uses the signals from the PWM
comparator, the current-limit detection on CS, and
DPWM signals to control the high-side MOSFET duty
cycle. The regulator uses voltage-mode PWM control
and is synchronized to the Royer oscillator. A falling
edge on SYNC turns on the high-side MOSFET after a
375ns minimum off-time delay. The PWM comparator or
the CS current limit ends the on-cycle.
Interface Selection
Table 1 lists the functionality of SH/SUS, CRF/SDA, and
CTL/SCL in each of the three interface modes of the
MAX1739/MAX1839. The MAX1739 features both an
SMBus digital interface and an analog interface, while
the MAX1839 features only the analog interface. Note
that MODE can also synchronize the DPWM frequency
(see Synchronizing the DPWM Frequency).
Dimming Range
Brightness is controlled by either the analog interface
(see Analog Interface) or the SMBus interface (see
SMBus Interface). CCFL brightness is adjusted in three
ways:
1) Lamp current control, where the magnitude of the
average lamp current is adjusted.
2) DPWM control, where the average lamp current is
pulsed to the lamp with a variable duty cycle.
3) A combination of the first two methods.
In each of the three methods, a 5-bit brightness code is
generated from the selected interface and is used to
set the lamp current and/or DPWM duty cycle.
The 5-bit brightness code defines the lamp current
level with ob00000 representing minimum lamp current
and ob11111 representing maximum lamp current. The
average lamp current is measured across an external
sense resistor (see Sense Resistors). The voltage on
the sense resistor is measured at CSAV. The brightness
code adjusts the regulation voltage at CSAV (VCSAV).
The minimum average VCSAV is VMINDAC/10, and the
maximum average is set by the following formula:
VCSAV = VREF 31 / 320 + VMINDAC / 320
which is between 193.75mV and 200mV.
Note that if VCSAV does not exceed 100mV peak (which
is about 32mV average) for over 2 seconds, the
MAX1739/MAX1839 will assume a lamp-out condition
and shut down (see Lamp-Out Detection).
The equation relating brightness code to CSAV regula-
tion voltage is:
VCSAV = VREF n / 320 + VMINDAC (32 - n) / 320
where n is the brightness code.
To always use maximum average lamp current when
using DPWM control, set VMINDAC to VREF.
DPWM control works similar to lamp current control in
that it also responds to the 5-bit brightness code. A

brightness code of ob00000 corresponds to a 9.375%
DPWM duty cycle, and a brightness code of ob11111
corresponds to a 100% DPWM duty cycle. The duty
cycle changes by 3.125% per step, except codes
ob00000 to ob00011 all produce 9.375% (Figure 3).
To disable DPWM and always use 100% duty cycle, set
VMINDAC to VL. Note that with DPWM disabled, the
equations above should assume VMINDAC = 0 instead
of VMINDAC = VL. Table 2 lists MINDAC’s functionality,
and Table 3 shows some typical settings for the bright-
ness adjustment.
In normal operation, VMINDAC is set between 0 and
VREF, and the MAX1739/MAX1839 use both lamp cur-
rent control and DPWM control to vary the lamp bright-
ness (Figure 4). In this mode, lamp current control
regulates the average lamp current during a DPWM on-
cycle and not the overall average lamp current.
Analog Interface and Brightness Code
The MAX1739/MAX1839 analog interface uses an inter-
nal ADC with 1-bit hysteresis to generate the brightness
code used to dim the lamp (see Dimming Range).
CTL/SDA is the ADC’s input, and CRF/SCL is its refer-
ence voltage. The ADC can operate in either positive-
scale ADC mode or negative-scale ADC mode. In
positive-scale ADC mode, the brightness code increas-
es from 0 to 31 as VCTL increases from 0 to VCRF. In
negative-scale mode, the brightness scale decreases
from 31 to 0 as VCTL increases from 0 to VCRF (Figure 5).
The analog interface’s internal ADC uses 1-bit hystere-
sis to keep the lamp from flickering between two codes.
VCTL’s positive threshold (VCTL(TH)) is the voltage
required to transition the brightness code as VCTL
increases and can be calculated as follows:
VCTL(TH) = (n + 2) / 33 VCRF
(positive-scale ADC mode, MODE = GND)
VCTL(TH) = (33 - n) / 33 VCRF
(negative-scale ADC mode, MODE = REF)
where n is the current selected brightness code. VCTL’s
negative threshold is the voltage required to transition
the brightness code as VCTL decreases and can be
calculated as follows:
VCTL(TH) = n / 33 VCRF
(positive-scale ADC mode, MODE = GND)
VCTL(TH) = (31 - n) / 33 VCRF
(negative-scale ADC mode, MODE = REF)
Figure 5 shows a graphic representation of the thresh-
olds. CRF/SDA’s and CTL/SCL’s input voltage range is
2.7V to 5.5V.
MINDAC = VL DPWM disabled (always on 100% duty cycle). Operates in lamp current control only.
(Use VMINDAC = 0 in the equations.)
MINDAC = REF DPWM control enabled, duty cycle ranges from 9% to 100%. Lamp current control is disabled
(always maximum current).
0 VMINDAC < VREF The device uses both lamp current control and DPWM.

SMBus interface.
Synchronizing the DPWM Frequency
MODE has two functions: one is to select the interface
mode as described in Interface Selection, and the other
is to synchronize the DPWM “chopping” frequency to
an external signal to prevent unwanted effects in the
display screen.
To synchronize the DPWM frequency, connect MODE
to VL, REF, or GND through a 10kΩresistor. Then con-
nect a 500pF capacitor from an AC signal source to
MODE as shown in Figure 6. The synchronization range
is from 32kHz to 100kHz, which corresponds to a
DPWM frequency range of 250Hz to 781Hz (128 MODE
pulses per DPWM cycle). High DPWM frequencies limit
the dimming range. See Loop Compensation for more
information concerning high DPWM frequencies.
Royer Oscillator MOSFET Drivers
The MAX1739/MAX1839 directly drive the two external
MOSFETs used in the Royer oscillator. This has many
advantages over the traditional method that uses bipo-
lar switching and an extra winding on the transformer.
Directly driving the MOSFET eliminates the need for an
extra winding on the transformer, which reduces cost
and minimizes the size of the transformer. Also, driving
the switches directly improves commutation efficiency
and commutation timing. Using MOSFETs for the
switches typically improves overall inverter efficiency
due to lower switch drops.
The Royer topology works as a zero voltage crossing
(ZVC) detector and switches currents between the two
sections of the transformer primary windings. The two
windings work alternately, each generating a half wave
that is transferred to the secondary to produce the full-
wave sinusoidal lamp voltage and current. The
MAX1739/MAX1839 detect the zero crossing through
the SYNC pin; the threshold is set at 500mV referred to
CS and has a typical delay of 50ns. The active switch-
ing forces commutation very close to the ZVC point and
has better performance than the traditional winding-
based ZVC switchover. Commutation can be further

optimized using R14 and R15 as shown in Figure 7.
The resistor-divider can be used to force commutation
as close to the zero-crossing point as possible.
POR and UVLO
The MAX1739/MAX1839 include power-on reset (POR)
and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) features. The POR
resets all internal registers, such as DAC output, fault
conditions, and all SMBus registers. POR occurs when
VL is below 1.5V. The SMBus input logic thresholds are
designed to meet electrical characteristic limits for VL
as low as 3.5V, but the interface will continue to func-
tion down to the POR threshold.
The UVLO threshold occurs when VL is below 4.2V
(typ) and disables the buck-switch driver.
Low-Power Shutdown
When the MAX1739/MAX1839 are placed in shutdown,
all IC functions are turned off except the 5V linear regu-
lator that powers all internal registers and the SMBus
interface (MAX1739). The SMBus interface is accessi-
ble in shutdown. In shutdown, the linear regulator out-
put voltage drops to about 4.5V and the supply current
is 6µA (typ), which is the required power to maintain all
internal register states. While in shutdown, lamp-out
detection and buck-switch short-circuit detection latch-
es are reset. The device can be placed into shutdown
by either writing to the MODE register (MAX1739
SMBus mode only) or with SH/SUS.
Lamp-Out Detection
For safety, during a lamp-out condition, the MAX1739/
MAX1839 limit the maximum average primary-side
transformer voltage (see Sense Resistors) and shut
down the lamp after 2s.
The lamp-out detection circuitry monitors VCSAV and
shuts down the lamp if VCSAV does not exceed 75mV
(typ) within 2 seconds. This circuitry ignores most puls-
es under 200ns. However, in some cases, a small
capacitor is needed at CSAV to prevent noise from trip-
ping the circuitry. This is especially true in noisy envi-
ronments and in designs with marginal layout.
Ideally, the voltage at CSAV is a half-wave rectified sine
wave. In this case, the CSAV lamp-out threshold is as
follows:
IMIN = IMAX / 6
where IMIN is the CSAV lamp out threshold, and IMAX is
the maximum lamp current (see Sense Resistors). Note:
The formulas assume a worst-case CSAV lamp-out
threshold of 100mV and a maximum CSAV average
voltage of 200mV.
Use MINDAC or limit the brightness code to prevent
setting the lamp current below the CSAV lamp-out
threshold.
STATUS1 bit sets when the lamp-out detection circuit
shuts down the device.
Buck-Switch Short Fault Detection
and Protection
When the buck switch (N1) fails short, there is no volt-
age limiting on the transformer and the input forces
excessive voltage on the transformer secondary. This

increases the circuit’s demand for current but may not
be enough to blow the fuse. With the buck switch short-
ed, the center tap rises above its regulation point,
which causes the CCV amplifier’s output (VCCV) to go
low. To detect this, the MAX1739/MAX1839 check that
VCCV is below 1V at the end of every DPWM period. If
this condition persists for over 250ms (or 64 DPWM
pulses), the inverter switch commutation is stopped
with either DL1 or DL2 on. With the buck switch short-
ed, this will cause a short circuit with enough current to
blow the fuse. If the buck switch is not shorted, then the
inverter latches off as in a lamp-out condition.
Both buck-switch short and lamp-out detection will
clear the STATUS1 bit in the SMBus interface. STA-
TUS1 does not clear immediately but will clear about 2
seconds after the inverter has been forced off (see
Digital Interface).
Note that once the inverter board fuse has blown,
SMBus communications with the part will cease since
the MAX1739 will then be without power.
Applications Information
As shown in the standard application circuit (Figure 8),
the MAX1739/MAX1839 regulate the current of a 4.5W
CCFL. The IC’s analog voltage interface sets the lamp
brightness with a minimum 20:1 power adjustment
range. This circuit operates from a wide supply-voltage
range of 7V to 24V. Typical applications include note-
book, desktop monitor, and car navigation displays.
CCFL Specifications
To select the correct component values for the
MAX1739/MAX1839 circuit, several CCFL parameters
(Table 4) and the minimum DC input voltage must be
specified.

impedance seen by the T1 secondary. Figure 8 shows

to operate: N1, N2A, and N2B. N1 is the buck switch;
select a logic-level N-channel MOSFET with low RDSON
to minimize conduction losses (100mΩ, 30V typ). Also
select a comparable-power Schottky diode for D1.

Although CCFLs typically operate at <550VRMS, a higher voltage
(1000VRMS and up) is required initially to start the tube. The strike
voltage is typically higher at cold temperatures and at the tube’s end
of life. This voltage is set by the combination of the maximum primary
voltage (center-tap voltage limit corresponding to
VCTFB = 0.6V) and the transformer (T1) turns ratio.

The MAX1739/MAX1839 regulate the average current
through the CCFL. The current is sensed through the
sense resistor (R13) at CSAV. The voltage at CSAV is
the half-wave rectified representation of the current
through the lamp (Figure 10). The MAX1739/MAX1839
regulate the average voltage at CSAV (IR13, AVG R13)
and are controlled by either the analog interface or the
SMBus interface. To set the maximum lamp current,
determine R13 as follows:
R13 = 0.4304 / IL,RMS,MAX
where IL,RMS,MAX is the maximum RMS lamp current.
MINDAC and the wave shape influence the actual max-
imum RMS lamp current. Use an RMS current meter to
make final adjustments to R13.
Loop Compensation
CCCI sets the speed of the current control loop that is
used during startup, maintaining lamp current regula-
tion, and during transients caused by changing the
lamp current setting. The standard CCCI value is
0.01µF. Larger values limit lamp current overshoot.
Smaller values speed up its response to changes in the
lamp current setting, but can lead to instability for
extremely small values. Very large values of CCCI
increase the delay to strike voltage in DPWM and can
cause loss of regulation in the extreme case. Note that
very large CCCV can do the same thing.
C6not only affects loop compensation, but it also affects
the waveform shape, overall efficiency, and the maxi-
mum necessary secondary transformer voltage. Low val-
ues of C6improve loop stability, especially in systems
using a CCFL with a large difference between its restrike
voltage and its operating voltage (characteristic of long
narrow CCFLs) during DPWM. A low value of C6also
improves stability when the lamp’s operating voltage
drops with an increase in lamp current. However, low
values of C6increase the maximum necessary trans-
former voltage. C7interacts with C6and affects the
Royer frequency, Royer Q value, and overall efficiency.
CCCV sets the speed of the voltage control loop that
affects DPWM transients and operation in fault condi-
tions. If DPWM is not used, the voltage control loop
should only be active during fault conditions. The stan-
dard value of CCCV is 3300pF. Use the smallest value
of CCCV necessary to set an acceptable fault transient
response and not cause excessive ringing at the begin-
ning of a DPWM pulse. Note that the worst-case fault

transient that CCCV is designed to protect against is
open tube at the beginning of DPWM pulses.
Large CCCV values reduce transient overshoots, but
can cause loss of regulation at low DPWM duty cycles
by increasing the delay to strike voltage. Smaller values
of CCCV allow quicker DPWM startups and faster
response to fault conditions. Very small values of CCCV
make the circuit more susceptible to ringing, and in
extreme cases may cause instability. Some ringing is
expected between the Royer oscillator and the buck
inductor. Some of the ringing can be suppressed by
adding a capacitor in parallel with R5. This capacitor
should be chosen such that:
1 / (2 πR5 C) = ringing frequency
When using high DPWM frequencies and low DPWM
duty cycles, the DPWM on-time is reduced. In some
cases, this causes the lamp current transient to exceed
the DPWM on-time. In this case, the MAX1739/
MAX1839 lose regulation and the lamp current never
reaches the lamp current set point. Supply rejection
while operating in this condition is degraded. If the
DPWM on-time is short enough, the lamp current does
not have enough time to reach the lamp-out threshold
and causes a lamp-out detection. To prevent this,
decrease the turn-on transient duration (by lowering
CCCV), increase the DPWM duty cycle (by limiting the
brightness code), or decrease the DPWM frequency
(see Synchronizing the DPWM Frequency).
DPWM or other “chopping” methods can cause audible
noise from some transformers. The transformer should
be carefully designed to avoid such behavior.
Dimming Range
The external components required to achieve a dim-
ming range are highly dependent on the CCFL used.
The standard application circuit uses a CCFL with strin-
gent requirements. To achieve a 20:1 dimming range,
the standard circuit drops slightly more voltage across
C6 as it does across the CCFL at the full lamp current
setting. This ensures good stability in that circuit with
VMINDAC as low as 1V. To further increase the dimming
range when using this CCFL, C6 must be increased,
which increases the maximum secondary transformer
voltage and requires a transformer with a higher volt-
age rating. Other components (such as the primary
transformer inductance and C7) may also need to be
adjusted to maintain good waveforms, Royer efficiency,
and the desired Royer frequency.
Other Components
The high-side MOSFET driver is powered by the exter-
nal boosting circuit formed by C5 and D2. Connect BST
through a signal-level Schottky diode to VL, and
bypass it to LX with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. This cir-
cuit delivers the necessary power to drive N1 as shown
in Figure 8. If a higher gate capacitance MOSFET is
used, the size of the bypass capacitor must be
increased. The current need at BST is as follows:
IBST = 1mA d + QTf
where d is the buck controller duty cycle (98% max),
QTis the MOSFET total gate charge, and f is twice the
Royer oscillator frequency.
The maximum current through D2 (ID) is:
ID= IBST / (1 - d)
D5A and D5B are used to generate the current-sense
voltage across R13. The current through these diodes is
the lamp current; use a dual-series signal-level diode.
Bypassing and Board Layout
Connect C4 from VL to GND as close as possible with
dedicated traces that are not shared with other signal
paths. The ground lines should terminate at the GND
end of C4: quiet ground, power ground, and lamp cur-
rent-sense ground. Quiet ground is used for REF, CCV,
R5, and MINDAC (if a resistor-divider is used). The
power ground goes from the ground of C4 directly to
the ground side of C9. Power ground should also sup-
ply the return path for D1, N2, and the buck current-
sense resistor (from CS to GND, if used). The ground
path for R13 should be separate to ensure that it does
not corrupt quiet ground and it is not affected by DC
drops in the power ground. Refer to the MAX1739 EV
kit for an example of good layout.
Digital Interface (MAX1739)
With MODE connected to VL, the CRF/SDA and
CTL/SCL pins no longer behave as analog inputs;
instead, they function as SMBus-compatible 2-wire dig-
ital interfaces. CRF/SDA is the bidirectional data line,
and CTL/SCL is the clock line of the 2-wire interfaces
corresponding, respectively, to the SMBDATA and
SMBCLK lines of the SMBus. The MAX1739 uses the
write-byte, read-byte, and receive-byte protocols
(Figure 11). The SMBus protocols are documented in
System Management Bus Specification v1.08 and are
available at www.sbs-forum.org.
The MAX1739 is a slave-only device and responds to
the 7-bit address 0b0101101 (i.e., with the RWbit clear
indicating a write, this corresponds to 0x5A). The
MAX1739 has three functional registers: a 5-bit bright-
ness register (BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0), a 3-bit shutdown
mode register (SHMD2–SHMD0), and a 2-bit status
register (STATUS1–STATUS0). In addition, the device

______________________________________________________________________________________ 21
has three identification (ID) registers: an 8-bit chip ID
register, an 8-bit chip revision register, and an 8-bit
manufacturer ID register.
The CRF/SDA and CTL/SCL pins have Schmidt-trig-
gered inputs that can accommodate slow edges; how-
ever, the rising and falling edges should still be faster
than 1µs and 300ns, respectively.
Communication starts with the master signaling the
beginning of a transmission with a START condition,
which is a high-to-low transition on CRF/SDA while
CTL/SCL is high. When the master has finished com-
municating with the slave, the master issues a STOP
condition (P), which is a low-to-high transition on
CRF/SDA while CTL/SCL is high (Figures 10, 11). The
bus is then free for another transmission. Figures 12
and 13 show the timing diagram for signals on the
2-wire interface. The address byte, command byte, and
data byte are transmitted between the START and
STOP conditions. The CRF/SDA state is allowed to
change only while CTL/SCL is low, except for the
START and STOP conditions. Data is transmitted in 8-
bit words and is sampled on the rising edge of
CTL/SCL. Nine clock cycles are required to transfer each
byte in or out of the MAX1739 since either the master or
the slave acknowledges the receipt of the correct byte
during the ninth clock. If the MAX1739 receives its correct
slave address followed by RW= 0, it expects to receive 1
or 2 bytes of information (depending on the protocol). If
the device detects a start or stop condition prior to clock-
ing in the bytes of data, it considers this an error condition
and disregards all of the data. If the transmission is com-
pleted correctly, the registers are updated immediately
after a STOP (or RESTART) condition. If the MAX1739
receives its correct slave address followed by RW= 1, it
expects to clock out the register data selected by the pre-
vious command byte.

or ID registers.
Table 6 summarizes the command byte’s register
assignments, as well as each register’s power-on state.
The MAX1739 also supports the receive-byte protocol
for quicker data transfers. This protocol accesses the
register configuration pointed to by the last command
byte. Immediately after power-up, the data byte
returned by the receive-byte protocol is the contents of
the brightness register, left justified (i.e., BRIGHT4 will
be in the MSB position of the data byte) with the
remaining bits containing a 1, STATUS1, and STATUS0.
This gives the same result as using the read-byte proto-
col with a 0b10XXXXXX (0x80) command. Use caution
with shorter protocols in multimaster systems since a
second master could overwrite the command byte with-
out informing the first master. During shutdown, the ser-
ial interface remains fully functional. The part also
supports limited read/write-word protocol. Read-word
works similar to read-byte except the second byte
returned is 0xFF. Write-word also works similar to write-
byte. The second data byte is acknowledged and
updated after the first data byte is acknowledged and
updated.

Brightness Register
[BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0] (POR = 0b10111)
The 5-bit brightness register corresponds with the 5-bit
brightness code used in the dimming control (see
Dimming Range). BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0 = 0b00000 sets
minimum brightness, and BRIGHT4–BRIGHT0 =
0b11111 sets maximum brightness. The SMBus inter-
face does not control whether the device regulates the
current by analog dimming, DPWM dimming, or both;
this is done by MINDAC (Table 2).
Shutdown-Mode Register
[SHMD2–SHMD0] (POR = 0b001)
The 3-bit shutdown-mode register configures the oper-
ation of the device when the SH/SUS pin is toggled as

also be used to shut off directly the CCFL, regardless
of the SH/SUS state (Table 8).

Status Register
[STATUS1–STATUS0] (POR = 0b11)
The status register returns information on fault condi-
tions. If a lamp is not connected to the secondary of the
transformer, the MAX1739 will detect that the lamp cur-
rent has not exceeded the CSAV detection threshold
and after 2 seconds will clear the STATUS1 bit (see
Lamp-Out Detection). The STATUS1 bit is latched; i.e.,
it will remain 0 even if the lamp-out condition goes
away. When STATUS1 = 0, the lamp is forced off. STA-
TUS0 reports 1 as long as no overcurrent conditions
are detected. If an overcurrent condition is detected in
any given DPWM period, STATUS0 is cleared for the
duration of the following DPWM period. If an overcur-
rent condition is not detected in any given DPWM peri-
od, STATUS0 is set for the duration of the following dig-
ital DPWM period. Forcing the CCFL lamp off by
entering shutdown, writing to the mode register, or by
toggling SH/SUS sets STATUS1.
ID Registers
The ID registers return information on the manufacturer,
the chip ID, and the chip revision number. The
MAX1739 is the first-generation advanced CCFL con-
troller, and its ChipRev is 0x00. Reading from the MfgID
register returns 0x4D, which is the ASCII code for “M”
(for Maxim); the ChipID register returns 0x96. Writing to
these registers has no effect.
