DC to AC Power Supplies (Inverters)
CCFL Inverters resist moisture, shock, and vibration.
Press Release Summary:
Used for powering CCFL-backlit LCDs, E200II and SE/SE2 Series DC-AC inverters feature fully vacuum-encapsulated design that ensures CCF lamp ignition, even in harsh environments. Products, operating at efficiencies from 80-85%, incorporate customized magnetics that are self-shielding to minimize EMI and RFI. Series E200II can power one or 2 CCFLs with up to 8 W of output power, while SE/SE2 Series provides up to 5 W of output power.

High-Reliability Vacuum-Encapsulated CCFL Inverters are Impervious to Moisture, Shock & Vibration
Endicott, NY, August 2005 - Endicott Research Group offers a family of DC-AC inverters for powering CCFL-backlit LCDs that feature a unique vacuum-encapsulated design to ensure reliable CCF lamp ignition, even in harsh environments.
ERG's E200II and SE/SE2 Series inverters are fully vacuum-encapsulated - a design pioneered and available only from ERG - to provide maximum resistance to shock, vibration & humidity.
They provide the ideal solution for CCFL-backlit flat panel displays where compact size, high efficiency and absolute reliability of the power source are critical, such as in medical diagnostic equipment, industrial instrumentation, and POS displays.
"If you have a CCFL-backlit LCD in an application where shock, vibration or humidity are a concern," said Bill Abbott, Global Market Strategist for ERG, "these are the most reliable power source available anywhere."
ERG's vacuum-encapsulated inverters operate at high efficiencies, typically 80-85%, and are designed and tested using the actual LCD display assembly to ensure system compatibility. ERG's customized magnetics are self-shielding to minimize EMI and RFI interference.
The encapsulation of the inverter enables designers to better package it with respect to the rest of the system - only the pins are exposed, so only the bottom of their printed circuit board is a "high voltage" consideration. This is especially useful for embedded designs.
ERG offers standard units for a range of displays and applications. The E200II can power one or two CCFLs with up to 8W of output power and is 60" (15.3 mm) high x 1.2" (32 mm) wide x 1.56" (39.7) mm long. The low profile SE/SE2 Series is only 0.420" (10.66 mm) high x 0.75" (19.1 mm) wide x 2.98" (75.7 mm) long. The SE Series provides up to 5 W of output power for single- CFFL backlights, and the SE2 Series is for two-lamp configurations. All carry a one-year warranty and are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
Pricing for ERG's vacuum-encapsulated DC-AC inverters starts at $8.55 in production quantities. Contact ERG for details on pricing. Delivery is 4 weeks A.R.O.
