9. Feed-forward Compensation
Input voltage to the IC is intelligently processed to
yield a constant/symmetrical waveform at
CMP_SST (pin 10) to achieve a feed-forward-
compensation function during dimming control.
10. Output Drives
The four output drives are designed to turn-on and
turn-off four switches M1, M2, M3 and M4 with
intelligent phase-shift control technique. The
design allows the free-wheeling diode to reset
transformer in each half cycle. The body diodes
associated with four switches can be served as
the free-wheeling diodes. For example, the diode
D3 and diode D4 are used as free-wheeling
diodes for M1 and M2 switches during the first half
cycle. The diodes D1 and D2 are used as the
free-wheeling diodes for M3 and M4 switches
during the next half cycle. The switches in the
bridge are configured such that M1/M4 and
M2/M3 are turned-on complementarily. This
brake before make (BBM) is implemented to
prevent the power source shorted to the ground.
Adjusting the overlapped conduction between
switches M1/M2 and M3/M4 senses the current
flowing in the CCFL, thus the power delivered to
the CCFL is regulated.
The waveforms associated with a typical
two-transistor forward converter are shown in
Figure 4, page 12.
