Description
The IRS2166D is a fully integrated, fully protected 600 V
ballast control IC designed to drive all types of fluorescent
lamps. The IRS2166D is based on the popular IR2166
control IC with additional improvements to increase ballast
performance. PFC circuitry operates in critical conduction
mode and provides high PF, low THD, and DC bus
regulation. The IRS2166D features include programmable
preheat and run frequencies, programmable preheat time,
and programmable end-of-life protection. Comprehensive
protection features such as protection from failure of a lamp
to strike, filament failures, end-of-life protection, DC bus
undervoltage reset as well as an automatic restart function,
have been included in the design.

Undervoltage Lock-Out Mode (UVLO)

VHYST
VUVLO-
The undervoltage lock-out mode (UVLO) is defined as the
state the IC is in when VCC is below the turn-on threshold
of the IC. To identify the different modes of the IC, refer to
the State Diagram shown on page 7 of this document. The
IRS2166D undervoltage lock-out is designed to maintain
an ultra low supply current of 250 µA (IQCCUV), and to
guarantee the IC is fully functional before the high and low
side output drivers are activated. Fig. 1 shows an efficient
supply voltage using the start-up current of the IRS2166D
together with a charge pump from the ballast output stage
(RSUPPLY, CVCC, DCP1, and DCP2).

Fig. 1: Start-up and supply circuitry
The start-up capacitor (CVCC) is charged by current
through supply resistor (RSUPPLY) minus the start-up current
drawn by the IC. This resistor is chosen to set the line
input voltage turn-on threshold for the ballast. Once the
capacitor voltage on VCC reaches the start-up threshold
VCCUV+, and the SD pin is below 3.0 V (VSDTH-), the IC turns
on and HO and LO begin to oscillate. The capacitor
begins to discharge due to the increase in IC operating
current (Fig. 2).
During the discharge cycle, the rectified current from the
charge pump charges the capacitor above the IC turn-off
threshold. The charge pump and the internal 15.6 V
(VCLAMP) zener clamp of the IC take over as the supply
voltage. The start-up capacitor and snubber capacitor
must be selected such that enough supply current is
available over all ballast operating conditions. A supply
capacitor (CBOOT) comprises the supply voltage for the high
side driver circuitry. To guarantee that the high-side
supply is charged up before the first pulse on pin HO, the
first pulse from the output drivers comes from the LO pin.
During undervoltage lock-out mode, the high- and low-side
driver outputs HO and LO are both low, pin CT is
connected internally to COM to disable the oscillator, and
pin CPH is connected internally to COM for resetting the
preheat time.

Preheat Mode (PH)
The preheat mode is defined as the state the IC is in
when the lamp filaments are being heated to their correct
emission temperature. This is necessary for maximizing
lamp life and reducing the required ignition voltage. The
IRS2166D enters preheat mode when VCC exceeds the
UVLO positive-going threshold VCCUV+. HO and LO begin
to oscillate at the preheat frequency with 50% duty cycle
and with a deadtime which is set by the value of the
external timing capacitor, CT, and internal deadtime
resistor, RDT. Pin CPH is disconnected from COM and an
internal 3.6 µA (ICPH) current source (Fig. 3) charges the
external preheat timing capacitor on CPH linearly. The
over-current protection on pin CS is enabled during
preheat. The preheat frequency is determined by the
parallel combination of resistors RT and RPH, together
with timing capacitor CT. CT charges and discharges
between 1/3 (VCT-) and 3/5 (VCT+) of VCC (see Timing
Diagram, page 9). CT is charged exponentially through
the parallel combination of RT and RPH connected
internally to VCC through MOSFET S1. The charge time
of CT from 1/3 to 3/5 VCC is the on-time of the respective
output gate driver, HO or LO. Once CT exceeds 3/5 VCC,
MOSFET S1 is turned off, disconnecting RT and RPH from
VCC. CT is then discharged exponentially through an
internal resistor, RDT, through MOSFET S3 to COM. The
discharge time of CT from 3/5 to 1/3 VCC is the deadtime
(both off) of the output gate drivers, HO and LO. The
selected value of CT and RDT program the desired
deadtime (see Design Equations, page 15, Equations 1
and 2). Once CT discharges below 1/3 VCC, MOSFET S3
is turned off, disconnecting RDT from COM, and MOSFET
S1 is turned on, connecting RT and RPH again to VCC. The
frequency remains at the preheat frequency until the
voltage on pin CPH exceeds 10 V and the IC enters
ignition mode. During the preheat mode, both the overcurrent protection and the DC bus undervoltage reset are
enabled when pin CPH exceeds 12 V (VCPHRUN).
Ignition Mode (IGN)
The ignition mode is defined as the state the IC is in
when a high voltage is being established across the lamp
necessary for igniting the lamp. The IRS2166D enters
ignition mode when the voltage on pin CPH exceeds
10.8 V (VCPHEOP). Pin CPH is connected internally to the

gate of a p-channel MOSFET (S4) (see Fig. 4) that
connects pin RPH with pin RT. As pin CPH exceeds 10.8
V (VCPHEOP), the gate-to-source voltage of MOSFET S4
begins to fall below the turn-on threshold of S4. As pin
CPH continues to ramp towards VCC, switch S4 turns off
slowly. This results in resistor RPH being disconnected
smoothly from resistor RT, which causes the operating
frequency to ramp smoothly from the preheat frequency,
through the ignition frequency, to the final run frequency.
The over-current threshold on pin CS will protect the
ballast against a non-strike or open-filament lamp fault
condition. The voltage on pin CS is defined by the lower
half-bridge MOSFET current flowing through the external
current sensing resistor RCS. The resistor RCS therefore
programs the maximum allowable peak ignition current
(and therefore peak ignition voltage) of the ballast output
stage. The peak ignition current must not exceed the
maximum allowable current ratings of the output stage
MOSFETs. Should this voltage exceed the internal
threshold of 1.20 V (VCSTH+), the internal fault counter
begins counting the number of of sequential over-current
faults (see timing diagram). If the number of over-current
faults exceeds 50 (nEVENTS), the IC will enter FAULT mode
and gate driver outputs HO, LO and PFC will be latched
low.
Run Mode (RUN)
Once the lamp has successfully ignited, the ballast enters
run mode. The run mode is defined as the state the IC is
in when the lamp arc is established and the lamp is being
driven to a given power level. The run mode oscillating
frequency is determined by the timing resistor RT and
timing capacitor CT (see Design Equations, page 15).
Should hard-switching occur at the half-bridge at any time
due to an open-filament or lamp removal, the voltage
across the current sensing resistor, RCS, will exceed the
internal threshold of 1.20 V (VCSTH+) and the fault counter
will begin counting (see timing diagram). Should the
number of consecutive over-current faults exceed 50
(nEVENTS), the IC will enter fault mode and gate driver
outputs HO, LO and PFC will be latched low.

DC Bus Undervoltage Reset
Should the DC bus decrease too low during a brown-out
line condition or over-load condition, the resonant output
stage to the lamp can shift near or below resonance. This
can produce hard-switching at the half-bridge which can
damage the half-bridge switches or, the DC bus can
decrease too far and the lamp can extinguish. To protect
against this, the VBUS pin includes a 3.0 V undervoltage
threshold (VBUSUV). Should the voltage at the VBUS pin
decrease below 3.0 V, VCC will be discharged below the
VCCUV- threshold and all gate driver outputs will be latched
low.
For proper ballast design, the designer should design the
PFC section such that the DC bus does not drop until the
AC line input voltage falls below the rated input voltage of
the ballast (see PFC section). When correctly designed,
the voltage measured at the VBUS pin will decrease
below the internal 3.0 V threshold (VBUSUV) and the
ballast will turn off cleanly. The pull-up resistor to VCC
(RSUPPLY) will then turn the ballast on again when the AC
input line voltage increases to the minimum specified
value causing VCC to exceed VCCUV+.
RSUPPLY should be set to turn the ballast on at the
minimum specified ballast input voltage. The PFC should
then be designed such that the DC bus decreases at an
input line voltage that is lower than the minimum specified
ballast input voltage. This hysteresis will result in clean
turn-on and turn-off of the ballast.
SD/EOL and CS Fault Mode (FAULT)
Should the voltage at the SD/EOL pin exceed 3.0 V
(VEOLTH+) or decrease below 1.0 V (VEOLTH-) during run
mode, an end-of-life (EOL) fault condition has occurred
and the IC enters fault mode. LO, HO, and PFC gate
driver outputs are all latched off in the ‘low’ state. CPH is
discharged to COM for resetting the preheat time. To exit
fault mode, VCC can be decreased below VCCUV- (ballast
power off) or the SD pin can be increased above 5.0 V
(VSDTH+) (lamp removal). Either of these will force the IC
to enter UVLO mode (see State Diagram, page 7). Once
Page 10

50 Pulses
VCC is above VCCUV+ (ballast power on) and SD is pulled
above 5.0 V (VSDTH+) and back below 3.0 V (VSDTH-) (lamp
re-insertion), the IC will enter preheat mode and begin
oscillating again.
The current sense function will force the IC to enter fault
mode only after the voltage at the CS pin has been
greater than 1.20 V (VCSTH+) for 100 (nEVENTS) consecutive
cycles of LO. The over-current function at the CS pin
(see Fig. 5) will only consecutive cycles of LO. The overcurrent function at the CS pin (see Fig. 5) will only work
with over-current events that occur during the LO on-time.
If the over-current faults are not consecutive, then the
internal fault counter will count back down each cycle
when there is no fault present. Should an over-current
fault occur only for a few cycles and then not occur again,
the counter will eventually count back down to zero. The
over-current fault counter is enabled during preheat and
ignition modes and disabled during run mode. During run
mode, the IC will enter fault mode after a single overcurrent event at the CS pin.
II. PFC Section
Functional Description
In most electronic ballasts it is necessary to have the
circuit act as a pure resistive load to the AC input line
voltage. The degree to which the circuit matches a pure
resistor is measured by the phase shift between the input
voltage and input current and how well the shape of the
input current waveform matches the shape of the
sinusoidal input voltage. The cosine of the phase angle
between the input voltage and input current is defined as
the power factor (PF), and how well the shape of the input
current waveform matches the shape of the input voltage
is determined by the total harmonic distortion (THD). A
power factor of 1.0 (maximum) corresponds to zero
phase shift and a THD of 0% represents a pure sinewave
(no distortion). For this reason it is desirable to have a
high PF and a low THD. To achieve this, the IRS2166D
includes an active power factor correction (PFC) circuit
which, for an AC line input voltage, produces an AC line
input current.
The control method implemented in the IRS2166D is for a
boost-type converter (Fig. 6) running in critical-conduction
mode (CCM). This means that during each switching
cycle of the PFC MOSFET, the circuit waits until the
inductor current discharges to zero before turning the
PFC MOSFET on again. The PFC MOSFET is turned on
and off at a much higher frequency (>10 kHz) than the
line input frequency (50 Hz to 60 Hz).

When the switch MPFC is turned on, the inductor LPFC is
connected between the rectified line input (+) and (-)
causing the current in LPFC to charge up linearly. When
MPFC is turned off, LPFC is connected between the rectified
line input (+) and the DC bus capacitor CBUS (through
diode DPFC) and the stored current in LPFC flows into CBUS.
As MPFC is turned on and off at a high-frequency, the
voltage on CBUS charges up to a specified voltage. The
feedback loop of the IRS2166D regulates this voltage to a
fixed value by continuously monitoring the DC voltage
and adjusting the on-time of MPFC accordingly. For an
increasing DC bus the on-time is decreased, and for a
decreasing DC bus the on-time is increased. This
negative feedback control is performed with a slow loop
speed and a low loop gain such that the average inductor
current smoothly follows the low-frequency line input
voltage for high power factor and low THD. The on-time
of MPFC therefore appears to be fixed (with an additional
modulation to be discussed later) over several cycles of
the line voltage. With a fixed on-time, and an off-time
determined by the inductor current discharging to zero,
the result is a system where the switching frequency is
free-running and constantly changing from a high
frequency near the zero crossing of the AC input line
voltage, to a lower frequency at the peaks (Fig. 7).

When the line input voltage is low (near the zero
crossing), the inductor current will charge up to a small
amount and the discharge time will be fast resulting in a
high switching frequency. When the input line voltage is
high (near the peak), the inductor current will charge up to
a higher amount and the discharge time will be longer
giving a lower switching frequency. The triangular PFC
inductor current is then smoothed by the EMI filter to
produce a sinusoidal line input current.

The PFC control circuit of the IRS2166D (Fig. 8) only
requires four control pins: VBUS, COMP, ZX and PFC.
The VBUS pin is for sensing the DC bus voltage (via an
external resistor voltage divider), the COMP pin programs
the on-time of MPFC and the speed of the feedback loop,
the ZX pin detects when the inductor current discharges
to zero (via a secondary winding from the PFC inductor),
and the PFC pin is the low-side gate driver output for
MPFC.

cycle repeats itself indefinitely until the PFC section is
disabled due to a fault detected by the ballast section
(fault mode), an over-voltage or undervoltage condition
on the DC bus, or, the negative transition of ZX pin
voltage does not occur. Should the negative edge on the
ZX pin not occur, MPFC will remain off until the watch-dog
timer forces a turn-on of MPFC for an on-time duration
programmed by the voltage on the COMP pin. The
watch-dog pulses occur every 400 µs (tWD) indefinitely
until a correct positive- and negative-going signal is
detected on the ZX pin and normal PFC operation is
resumed.

The VBUS pin is regulated against a fixed internal 4.0 V
reference voltage (VBUSREG) for regulating the DC bus
voltage (Fig. 9). The feedback loop is performed by an
operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) that sinks
or sources a current to the external capacitor at the
COMP pin. The resulting voltage on the COMP pin sets
the threshold for the charging of the internal timing
capacitor (C1) and therefore programs the on-time of
MPFC. During preheat and ignition modes of the ballast
section, the gain of the OTA is set to a high level to raise
the DC bus level quickly and to minimize the transient on
the DC bus which can occur during ignition. During run
mode, the gain is then decreased to a lower level
necessary for achieving high power factor and low THD.

diagram
A fixed on-time of MPFC over an entire cycle of the line
input voltage produces a peak inductor current which
naturally follows the sinusoidal shape of the line input
voltage. The smoothed averaged line input current is in
phase with the line input voltage for high power factor but
the total harmonic distortion (THD), as well as the
individual higher harmonics, of the current can still be too
high. This is mostly due to cross-over distortion of the
line current near the zero-crossings of the line input
voltage. To achieve low harmonics which are acceptable
to international standard organizations and general
market requirements, an additional on-time modulation
circuit has been added to the PFC control. This circuit
dynamically increases the on-time of MPFC as the line
input voltage nears the zero-crossings (Fig. 11). This
causes the peak LPFC current, and therefore the smoothed
line input current, to increase slightly higher near the
zero-crossings of the line input voltage. This reduces the
amount of cross-over distortion in the line input current
which reduces the THD and higher harmonics to low
levels.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Should over-voltage occur on the DC bus causing the
VBUS pin to exceed the internal 4.3 V threshold (VBUSOV+),
the PFC output is disabled (set to a logic ‘low’). When the
DC bus decreases again causing the VBUS pin to

decrease below the internal 4.0 V threshold (VBUSREG), a
watch-dog pulse is forced on the PFC pin and normal
PFC operation is resumed.
In case of fast on/off interruptions of the mains input
voltage or during normal lamp ignition, the DC bus
voltage level can decrease below the instantaneous
rectified line voltage. Should this occur, the PFC inductor
current and PFC MOSFET current can increase to high
levels causing the PFC inductor to saturate and/or the
PFC MOSFET to become damaged. During fast on/off
interruptions of the input mains voltage, the DC bus can
drop during the time when the mains voltage is
interrupted (off). Since VCC is still above UVLO-, the IC
will continue to operate and will increase the COMP pin
voltage to increase the PFC MOSFET on-time due to the
dropping of the DC bus. When the mains voltage returns
again quickly, (before VCC reaches UVLO-), the on-time of
the PFC MOSFET is too long for the given mains voltage
level resulting in high PFC inductor and MOSFET
currents that can saturate the inductor and/or damage the
PFC MOSFET (Fig. 13).
Undervoltage Reset (UVR)
When the line input voltage is decreased, interrupted or a
brown-out condition occurs, the PFC feedback loop
causes the on-time of MPFC to increase in order to keep
the DC bus constant. Should the on-time increase too
far, the resulting peak currents in LPFC can exceed the
saturation current limit of LPFC. LPFC will then saturate and
very high peak currents and di/dt levels will occur. To
prevent this, the maximum on-time is limited by limiting
the maximum voltage on the COMP pin with an external
zener diode DCOMP (Fig. 8). As the line input voltage
decreases, the COMP pin voltage and therefore the ontime will eventually limit. The PFC can no longer supply
enough current to keep the DC bus fixed for the given
load power and the DC bus will begin to drop.
Decreasing the line input voltage further will cause the
VBUS pin to eventually decrease below the internal 3 V
threshold (VBUSUV) (Fig. 9). When this occurs, VCC is
discharged internally below VCCUV-, the IRS2166D enters
UVLO mode and both the PFC and ballast sections are
disabled (see State Diagram).
The start-up supply
resistor to VCC, together with the micro-power start-up
current of the IRS2166D, determines the line input turnon voltage. This should be set such that the ballast turns
on at a line voltage level above the undervoltage turn-off
level, VCCUV+. It is the correct selection of the value of the
supply resistor to VCC and the zener diode on the COMP
pin that correctly program the on and off line input voltage
thresholds for the ballast. With these thresholds correctly
set, the ballast will turn off due to the 3.0 V undervoltage
threshold (VBUSUV) on the VBUS pin, and on again at a
higher line input voltage (hysteresis) due to the supply
resistor to VCC. This hysteresis will result in a proper
reset of the ballast without flickering of the lamp,
bouncing of the DC bus or re-ignition of the lamp when
the DC bus is too low.
www.irf.com
Fig. 13: High PFC inductor current during fast mains
on/off (upper trace: DC Bus, 100 V/div; middle trace: AC
line input voltage, 100 V/div; lower trace: PFC inductor
current 1 A/div).
During lamp ignition, the DC bus can drop below the
rectified AC line voltage causing current to conduct
directly from the output of the rectifier, through the PFC
inductor and diode, to the DC bus capacitor. This results
in a low-frequency offset of current in the PFC inductor.
Since the zero-crossing detection circuit only detects the
high-frequency zero-crossing of the inductor current, the
PFC MOSFET will turn on again each cycle before the
inductor current has reached zero. This causes the PFC
to work in a continuous conduction mode and the sum of
the low-frequency and high-frequency components of
current can saturate the PFC inductor and/or damage the
PFC MOSFET. To protect against these conditions, a
current sense resistor (RS) can be inserted between the
source on the PFC MOSFET and ground, and a diode
(D4) connected from the top of this current sensing
resistor to the VBUS pin (Fig. 14).
Page 13
IRS2166D(S)PbF
For these reasons, the ballast designer should perform
these mains interrupt and ignition tests carefully to
determine the robustness of their final design and to
decide if this additional over-current protection circuit is
necessary.
Ballast Design Equations
Note: The results from the following design equations can
differ slightly from experimental measurements due to IC
tolerances, component tolerances, and oscillator overand under-shoot due to internal comparator response
time.
Fig. 14: External over-current protection circuit
Should high currents occur, the voltage across the
current-sensing resistor will exceed the 4.3 V overvoltage protection threshold at the VBUS pin and the PFC
MOSFET will turn off safely limiting the current. The
watch-dog timer will then restart the PFC as normal (Fig.
15). The current sensing resistor value should be
selected such that the over-current protection does not
false trip during normal operation over the entire line
voltage range and load range. A current-sensing resistor
value, for example, of 1.0 W will set the over-current
protection threshold to about 5 A peak.
Step 1: Program Deadtime
The deadtime between the gate driver outputs HO and
LO is programmed with timing capacitor CT and an
internal deadtime resistor RDT. The deadtime is the
discharge time of capacitor CT from 3/5 VCC to 1/3 VCC
and is given as:
t DT = CT ⋅1475
[s]

(2)
or
CT =

Step 2: Program Run Frequency
The final run frequency is programmed with timing
resistor RT and timing capacitor CT. The charge time of
capacitor CT from 1/3 VCC to 3/5 VCC determines the ontime of HO and LO gate driver outputs. The run frequency
is therefore given as:
f RUN =
1
2 ⋅ CT (0.51 ⋅ RT + 1475)

protection circuit (upper trace: DC Bus, 100 V/div; middle
trace: AC line input voltage, 100 V/ div; lower trace: PFC
inductor current 1 A/div).
The effect that these line and load conditions have on the
performance of the ballast depends on the saturation
level of the PFC inductor, the selection of the PFC
MOSFET, the DC bus capacitor value, the maximum ontime limit set by DZCOMP, and, how fast VCC decreases
below UVLO- when the DC bus drops during ignition (the
3 V reset on the VBUS pin does not become active until
RUN mode).

Step 3: Program Preheat Frequency
The preheat frequency is programmed with timing
resistors RT and RPH, and timing capacitor CT. The timing
resistors are connected in parallel internally for the
duration of the preheat time. The preheat frequency is
therefore given as:

The preheat time is defined by the time it takes for the
