The new SFW Series of DC-to AC inverters for CCFL backlights are designed for display applications that require high efficiency, wide range dimming and lamp current stability over a wide input range, with full RoHS compliance. They offer an extremely low profile (< 6 mm high), with wide input voltage and wide range PWM dimming.

The latest in ERG’s Smart Force™ family of intelligent power solutions for display backlighting, and the first in ERG’s new SFW Series of DC-to AC inverters, these are feature-rich, highly intelligent inverters with open lamp detection, onboard PWM dimming, and lamp current regulation. Available in single and dual-lamp versions, they feature a ruggedized transformer that has helped these inverters test successfully at very wide temperature ranges. 

SFW Series inverters feature direct display connection, a start voltage of 1800 Vrms, and an operating temperature range of -30º to 70ºC. Two single-lamp versions are available: one with the JST output connector SM02(8.0) B-BHS-TB (SFWA160JF), and one with the JST SM02B-BHSS-1 (SFWA160J2F) connector.  

The SFW inverters can be used in LCDs 5.7" to 12.1" diagonal in single output configurations and, in dual output configurations, they can be used in LCDs 6.4" to 15" diagonal for a wide variety of industrial LCD applications.
The single-lamp version of the SFW Series (P/N SFWA160JF) is a drop-in replacement for TDK’s CXA-L0612A-VJL DC/AC inverter. However, the SFW inverter offers a wider range of dimming with shorter lead times,” typically from stock, with extremely competitive pricing.”
