A CCFL (cold-cathode fluorescent lamp) driving system for multiple CCFL
loads includes a transformer, a CCFL circuit, and a controlling circuit
coupled between the transformer and the CCFL circuit. The CCFL circuit
includes multiple CCFL loads. The transformer includes a primary winding
and a secondary winding, with the primary winding coupled to a voltage
source and the secondary winding coupled to the CCFL loads. The
controlling circuit includes a part for generating a predetermined
voltage signal to power the CCFL loads during a warm-up stage and another
part for generating a modulation signal. With such circuit arrangement,
each of the multiple CCFL loads is powered from an off state to an
operationally-on state.
