(Note 1) Surface temperature must not exceed 80 degrees C; thermal management actions may be required. (Note 2) Input current in excess of maximum may indicate a load/inverter mismatch condition, which can result in reduced reliability. Please contact ERG technical support. (Note 3) Provided data is not tested but guaranteed by design. Application Notes: 1) The minimum distance from high voltage areas of the inverter to any conductive material should be .12 inches per kilovolt of starting voltage. 2) Mounting hardware to be non-conductive. 3) Open framed inverters should not be used in applications at altitudes over 10,000 feet. 4) ACreturn should be left floating, not grounded. 5) Contact ERG for possible exceptions. page 2. DMD43301 Onboard PWM Unless otherwise noted Vin = 12.00 Volts DC, Ta = 25 oC and unit has been running for 5 minutes. Characteristic Symbol Min Typ Max Units Frequency f pwm - 160 - HZ Control Input Bias Current I cb i a s - - 10 uA Pin Descriptions Vin Input voltage to the inverter. The two pins should be connected for optimum reliability and efficiency. GND Inverter ground. The four pins should be connected for optimum reliability and efficiency. Control Analog voltage input to the onboard pulse width modulator. Decreasing this voltage increases the ON time of the onboard PWM resulting in increased brightness. The inverter is full ON when this voltage is near inverter ground. Enable Inverter Enable. Pull this pin low to disable inverter operation. This pin must be high to enable the inverter. The onboard PWM is always utilized. Application information The DMD series of inverters is designed to power up to four cold cathode fluorescent lamps. An external analog control interfaces with an onboard pulse width modulator to provide dimming control. The DMD inverter can reliably dim to less than 5% duty cycle. External shutdown of the inverter is accomplished using the Enable pin. Pulling this pin low (below Vthoff) disables the inverter. Enabling the inverter is accomplished by pulling this pin high (above Vthon). If analog voltage dimming is required, the analog voltage is applied to the Control pin. Figure 1 shows how to connect the inverter for onboard PWM operation. Graph 1 shows the relationship of PWM duty cycle to input control voltage. If an external PWM is used, simply connect the Enable pin to the PWM source and connect the Control pin to inverter Ground. If the onboard PWM is used, connect the analog voltage to the Control pin. page 3.
