Dual-mode inverters for frugal
backlights
Providing an extremely wide brightness range for any CCFL backlit LCD application, RangeMax inverters from Solid State Supplies use a combination of analogue and direct drive digital dimming.
Providing an extremely wide brightness range for any CCFL backlit LCD application, RangeMax inverters from Solid State Supplies use a combination of analogue and direct drive digital dimming In this dual-mode design, conventional analogue techniques are used to give the lamp a short overdrive current boost which quickly heats it to light-producing temperature, at which point digital technology is used to provide an extended dimming range

The MUR range of ultrafast rectifiers from Solid State Supplies have been specifically designed to provide optimised performance of forward voltage drop with a reverse recovery time of 25ns.
This extends battery life while increasing display brightness.
Brightness levels of 100:1 and higher are achievable on virtually any LCD while the wide dimming range still gives display visibility at less than 1% of full brightness making the display night readable while saving power.
Unlike linear/analogue products, the RangeMax inverter's dim feature operates without regard to individual lamp characteristics, providing usable displays in a power range substantially lower than was previously thought possible.
In footprints as small as 10 x 6 x 135mm, use of a RangeMax inverter allows larger displays to be incorporated into the design, and the novel low-profile magnetics are ideal for applications from less than 1W to more than 12W.
Reduced heat generation makes them ideal for industrial computer and point of sale applications.
