A simplified CCFL inverter circuit is shown in Figure 5
(a). The full-bridge power stage is simplified and repre-
sented as a square-wave AC source. The resonant tank
circuit can be further simplified to Figure 5(b) by
removing the transformer. C
S
is the primary series
capacitor, C
S
’ is the series capacitance reflected to the
secondary, C
P
is the secondary parallel capacitor, N is
the transformer turns ratio, L is the transformer sec-
ondary leakage inductance, and R
L
is an idealized
resistance that models the CCFL in normal operation.
Figure 6 shows the frequency response of the resonant
tank’s voltage gain under different load conditions. The
primary series capacitor is 1µF, the secondary parallel
capacitor is 15pF, the transformer turns ratio is 1:93,
and the secondary leakage inductance is 260mH.
Notice that there are two peaks, f
S,
and f
P
, in the fre-
quency response. The first peak f
S
is the series reso-
nant peak determined by the secondary leakage
inductance (L) and the series capacitor reflected to the
secondary (C’
S
):
