An efficient and flexible current-mode driver delivers power to one or more light sources in a backlight system. In one application, the current-mode driver (306, 308) is configured as an inverter with an input current regulator, a non-resonant polarity-switching network, and a closely-coupled output transformer. The input current regulator can output a regulated current source in a variety of programmable wave shapes. The current-mode driver may further include a rectifier circuit (320, 322, 324, 326) and a second polarity-switching network between the closely-coupled output transformer (310) and a lamp load (312). In another application, the current-mode driver delivers power to a plurality of light sources in substantially one polarity by providing a regulated current to a network of time-sharing semiconductor switches coupled in series with different light sources coupled across each semiconductor switch. |
