Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The DS3984 is a 4-channel controller for cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) used to backlight liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in TV and PC monitor applications. The DS3984 supports configurations of 1 to 4 lamps, and multiple DS3984 controllers can be cascaded to support applications requiring more than 4 lamps.
