General descriptionThe UBA2071 and UBA2071A are high voltage ICs intended to drive Cold CathodeFluorescent Lamps (CCFLs) or External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps (EEFLs) forbacklighting applications
Theycan drive a half bridge circuit made up of two NMOSFETswith a supplyvoltage of up to 550 V, so the inverter can be supplied directlyfrom a 400 VPFC bus
The UBA2071 and UBA2071A contain a controller, a level shifter, a bootstrap diode anddrivers for the external half bridge power switches
It also contains a low frequency PWMgenerator, which can be used to control the brightness level of the lamps, using an analogbrightness/dimming control voltage
PWM dimming can also be realized, using a digitalPWM input signal
PWM dimming can be synchronized with other ICs
