In Figure 1, the MAX758A, L1, and D5 form a voltage-
controlled switch-mode current source. The current out
of L1 is proportional to the voltage applied to the SS
pin. The MAX758A contains a current-mode pulse-
width-modulating buck regulator that switches at
170kHz. The voltage on the SS pin sets the switch cur-
rent limit and thus sets the current out of L1.
Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the regulation loop,
which maintains a fixed CCFL average lamp current
despite changes in input voltage and lamp impedance.
This loop regulates the average value of the half-wave
rectified lamp current. The root mean square lamp cur-
rent is related to, but not equal to, the average lamp
current. Assuming a sinusoidal lamp current, select R8
as follows:
