The LXE1686-0x CCFL Inverter Evaluation Boards are designed to demonstrate Linfinity's LX1686 Backlight Controller IC. It consists of a fully assembled and tested inverter circuit board. This design guide complements the LX1686 controller application note AN-13 that discusses the overall inverter design considerations. The purpose of the evaluation board is to allow a designer to quickly modify the basic inverter circuit to match his LCD panel requirements. It will allow easy customization of the inverter's input and output characteristics to optimize the inverter design.
