Additional Details

The OZ964GN-C-1-TR utilizes Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) dimming to control the brightness of the CCFL, offering a wide dimming range. Its integrated protection features safeguard the CCFL and the controller from damage due to overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits. The soft-start feature reduces stress on the lamp during start-up, prolonging its life. Burst mode operation further enhances power efficiency at lower brightness levels. This IC requires external components such as a MOSFET and transformer to complete the CCFL driver circuit. The OZ964 series is known for its stable performance and is widely used in various LCD backlighting applications. For detailed electrical characteristics and application circuit examples, consult the device datasheet. The precise regulation of lamp current and voltage contributes to consistent brightness and color uniformity across the display panel. The 'C-1-TR' suffix likely indicates specific packaging and reel options.
