QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 510 1WATT CCFL POWER SUPPLY LTC1697 DESCRIPTION Demonstration Circuit 510 is a 1Watt single output Using the LTC1697 with the Royer topology results in CCFL inverter with internal PWM dimming and bot- a particularly low component count design. Target tom bulb sense feedback features. The Demo Board applications for this Demo Board are PDAs such as consists of a LTC1697 CCFL Controller and a Royer Handheld Computers, Handheld GPSs with Map Dis- converter that uses bipolar transistors. The LTC1697 plays, and Handheld TV Video Monitors. also features internal CCFL short circuit and over- DC510 is designed to operate off a single Li-Ion cell voltage protection. The maximum lamp current is set for a Vin range of 2.7V 5.5V and outputs 100s of by a single resistor while a 1V 2V Dimming input volts at milliAmp current levels. allows the user to set the desired lamp current any- Design files for this circuit board are available.
