Page 3 LXMG /12-45/46 StayLit™ Feature Fault Detection and Management Circuit (StayLit™): –A dedicated Pin allows the module to detect an open/shorted lamp condition –In addition, when only one of the two lamps in the LCD fails open, the second lamp will continue to operate with a FAULT signal toggling to indicate the failed condition. –The remaining working lamp is not overdriven and the dimming capabilities of the inverter are not impaired while in this mode Applications –Industrial or Consumer/Medical Application where continued SAFE operation is key
Page 4 LXMG /12-45/46 PanelMatch™ Feature Externally Programmable Maximum Output Current (PanelMatch™) = the customer is able by changing a single settings to regulate the current flowing through the lamp –The module can be used for different panels requiring different Lamp Currents Easier Supply Chain, Perfect for Distribution –The customer can purposely drive the lamps at a lower or higher current to decrease or increase nominal brightness and lamp life Application Flexibility
