Description
The FAN7318A is a LCD backlight inverter drive IC that
controls P-N half-bridge topology.
The FAN7318A provides a low-cost solution and reduces
external components by integrating proprietary wave
rectifiers for open-lamp protection and regulation. The
operating voltage range is wide, so an external regulator
isn’t necessary to supply voltage to the IC.
The FAN7318A provides various protections, such as
open-lamp regulation, over-voltage protection, open-
lamp protection, short-lamp protection, and CMP-HIGH
protection, to increase the system reliability. The
FAN7318A provides burst dimming and analog dimming.
The FAN7318A is available in a 16-SOIC package.
