LSGD (Low side gate drive, Pin 2)
The Gate of the low-side MOSFET in a half-bridge
inverter topology is controlled by this pin. There is an
active L-level during UVLO (undervoltage lockout) and
a limitation of the max. H-level at 11V during normal
operation. Turning on the MOSFET softly (with reduced
diDRAIN/dt), the Gate drive voltage rises within 220ns
from L-level to H-level. The fall time of the Gate drive
voltage is less than 50ns in order to turn off quickly.
This measure produces different switching speeds
during turn-on and turn-off as it is usually achieved with
a diode in parallel to a resistor in the Gate drive loop. It
is recommended to use a resistor of about 15Ohm
between drive pin and Gate in order to avoid
oscillations and in order to shift the power dissipation of
discharging the Gate capacitance into this resistor. The
dead time between LSGD signal and HSGD signal is
1800ns typically.
VCC (Supply voltage, Pin 3)
This pin provides the power supply of the ground
related section of the IC. There is a turn-on threshold at
14V and an UVLO threshold at 10,5V. Upper supply
voltage level is 17,5V. There is an internal zener diode
clamping Vcc at 16V (2mA typically). The zener current
is internally limited to 5mA max. For higher current
levels an external zener diode is required. Current
consumption during UVLO and during fault mode is
less than 150µA. A ceramic capacitor close to the
supply and GND pin is required in order to act as a lowimpedance power source for Gate drive and logic
signal currents.

Pin Description
LSCS (Low side current sense, Pin 1)
This pin is directly connected to the shunt resistor
which is located between the Source terminal of the
low-side MOSFET of the inverter and ground.
Internal clamping structures and filtering measures
allow for sensing the Source current of the low-side
inverter MOSFET without additional filter components.
There is a first threshold of 0,8V, which provides a
couple of increasing steps of frequency during ignition
mode, if exceeded by the sensed current signal for a
time longer than 250ns. If the sensed current signal
exceeds a second threshold of 1,6V for longer than
400ns during all operating modes, a latched shut down
of the IC will be the result.

Pin Configuration and Description
PFCGD (PFC gate drive, Pin 5)
The Gate of the MOSFET in the PFC preconverter
designed in boost topology is controlled by this pin.
There is an active L-level during UVLO and a limitation
of the max. H-level at 11V during normal operation.
Turning on the MOSFET softly (with a reduced diDRAIN/
dt), the Gate drive voltage rises within 220ns from Llevel to H-level. The fall time of the Gate voltage is less
than 50ns in order to turn off quickly. A resistor of about
15Ω between drive pin and Gate in order to avoid
oscillations and in order to shift the power dissipation of
discharging the Gate capacitance into this resistor is
recommended.
The PFC section of the IC controls a boost converter as
a PFC preconverter in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM). Typically the control starts with Gate drive
pulses with an on-time of 1µs increasing up to 24µs and
a off-time of 40µs. As soon as a sufficient ZCD (zero
current detector) signal is available, the operating
mode changes from a fixed frequent operation to an
operation with variable frequency. During rated and
medium load conditions we get an operation with
critical conduction mode (CritCM), that means
triangular shaped currents in the boost converter choke
without gaps when reaching the zero level and variable
operating frequency. During light load (detected by the
internal error amplifier) we get an operation with
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), that means
triangular shaped currents in the boost converter choke
with gaps when reaching the zero level and variable
operating frequency in order to avoid steps in the
consumed line current.
and source current of the sense pin, when the voltage
of the ZCD winding exceeds the internal clamping
levels (6,3V and -2,9V @ 4mA) of the IC.
If the sensed level of the ZCD winding is not sufficient
(e.g. during start-up), an internal start-up timer will
initiate a new cycle every 40µs after turn-off of the PFC
Gate drive.
PFCVS (PFC voltage sense, Pin 8)
The intermediate circuit voltage (bus voltage) at the
smoothing capacitor is sensed by a resistive divider at
this pin. The internal reference voltage for rated bus
voltage is 2,5V. There are further thresholds at 0,375V
(15% of rated bus voltage), 1,83V (73% of rated bus
voltage) and 2,725V (109% of rated bus voltage) for
detecting open control loop, undervoltage and
overvoltage.
RFRUN (Set R for run frequency, Pin 9)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets the operating
frequency of the inverter during run mode. Typical run
frequency range is 20kHz to 100kHz. The set resistor
RRFRUN can be calculated based on the run frequency
fRUN according to the equation

RFPH (Set R for preheating frequency, Pin 10)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets together with the
resistor at pin 9 the operating frequency of the inverter
during preheat mode. Typical preheat frequency range
is run frequency (as a minimum) to 150kHz. The set
resistor RRFPH can be calculated based on the preheat
frequency fPH and the resistor RRFRUN according to the
equation:

PFCCS (PFC current sense, Pin 6)
The voltage drop across a shunt resistor located
between Source of the PFC MOSFET and GND is
sensed with this pin. If the level exceeds a threshold of
1V for longer than 260ns the PFC Gate drive is turned
off as long as the ZCD (zero current detector) enables
a new cycle. If there is no ZCD signal available within
40µs after turn-off of the PFC Gate drive, a new cycle
is initiated from an internal start-up timer.
The total value of both resistors RRFPH and RRFRUN
switched in parallel should not be less than 3,3kOhm.
PFCZCD (PFC zero current detection, Pin 7)
This pin senses the point of time when the current
through the boost inductor becomes zero during offtime of the PFC MOSFET in order to initiate a new
cycle. The moment of interest appears when the
voltage of the separate ZCD winding changes from
positive to negative level which represents a voltage of
zero at the inductor windings and therefore the end of
current flow from lower input voltage level to higher
output voltage level. There is a threshold with
hysteresis, for increasing voltage a level of 1,5V, for
decreasing voltage a level of 0,5V, that detects the
change of inductor voltage. A resistor connected
between ZCD winding and sense input limits the sink

RTPH (Set R for preheating time, Pin 11)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets the preheating
time of the inverter during preheat mode. A set resistor
range from zero to 18kOhm corresponds to a range of
preheating time from zero to 2000ms subdivided in 127
steps.
RES (Restart after lamp removal, Pin 12)
A source current out of this pin via resistor and filament
to ground monitors the existence of the low-side
filament of the fluorescent lamp for restart after lamp

Pin Configuration and Description
removal. A capacitor from this pin directly to ground
eliminates a superimposed AC voltage that is
generated as a voltage drop across the low-side
filament.
During typical start-up with connected filaments of the
lamp a current source IRES3 (20µA) is active as long as
Vcc> 10,5V and VRES< VRESC1 (1,6V). An open Lowside filament is detected, when VRES> VRESC1. Such a
condition will prevent the start-up of the IC. In addition
the comparator threshold is set to VRESC2 (1,3V) and
the current source changes to IRES4 (17µA). Now the
system is waiting for a voltage level lower than VRESC2
at the RES-Pin that indicates a connected low-side
filament, which will enable the start-up of the IC.
An open high-side filament is detected when there is no
sink current ILVSsink (15µA) into the LVS-Pin before the
VCC start-up threshold is reached. Under these
conditions the current source at the RES-Pin is IRES1
(41µA) as long as Vcc> 10,5V and VRES< VRESC1 (1,6V)
and the current source is IRES2 (34µA) when the
threshold has changed to VRESC2 (1,3V). In this way the
detection of the high-side filament is mirrored to the
levels on the RES-Pin.
Finally there is a delay function implemented at the
RES-Pin. When a fault condition happens e.g. by an
end-of-life criteria the inverter is turned-off. In some
topologies a transient AC lamp voltage may occur
immediately after shut down of the Gate drives which
could be interpreted as a lamp removal. In order to
generate a delay for the detection of a lamp removal
the capacitor at the RES-Pin is charged by the IRES3
(20µA) current source up to the threshold VRESC1 (1,6V)
and discharged by an internal resistor RRESdisch , which
operates in parallel to the external sense resistor at this
pin, to the threshold VRESC3 (0,375V). The total delay
amounts to 32 of these cycles, which corresponds to a
delay time between 30ms to 100ms dependent on
capacitor value.
In addition this pin is applied to sense capacitive mode
operation by use of a further capacitor connected from
this pin to the nod of the high-side MOSFET’s Source
terminal and the low-side MOSFET’s Drain terminal.
The sense capacitor and the filter capacitor are acting
as a capacitive voltage divider that allows for detecting
voltage slopes versus timing sequence and therefore
indicating capacitive mode operation. A typical ratio of
the capacitive divider is 410V/2,2V which results in the
capacitor values e.g. of 10nF and 53pF (56pF).
the two thresholds of either +215µA or -215µA cycle by
cycle for longer than 610µs, the interpretation of this
event is a failure due to EOL1 (end-of-life). A rectifier
effect (EOL2) is assumed if the ratio of the sequence of
positive and negative amplitudes is above 1,15 or
below 0,85 for longer than 500ms. A failure due to
EOL1 or EOL2 changes the operating mode from run
mode into a latched fault mode that stops the operation
until a reset occurs by lamp removal or by cycle of
power.
EOL1 and EOL2 require an AC current with
zerocrossings at LVS-Pin for a reliable detection. A DC
current at LVS-Pin results in a definite turn-off action
acc. to EOL1 only if the sensed current exceeds the
threshold ILVSEOLDC= +/-175µA (typically).
If the functionality of this pin is not required it can be
disabled by connecting this pin to ground.
Not Connected (Pin 14)
This pin is internally not connected.
HSGND (High side ground, Pin 17)
This pin is connected to the Source terminal of the
high-side MOSFET, which is also the nod of high-side
and low-side MOSFET. This pin represents the floating
ground level of the high-side driver and high-side
supply.
HSVCC (High side supply voltage, Pin 18)
This pin provides the power supply of the high-side
ground related section of the IC. An external capacitor
between pin 15 and 16 acts like a floating battery which
has to be recharged cycle by cycle via high voltage
diode from low-side supply voltage during on-time of
the low-side MOSFET. There is an UVLO threshold
with hysteresis that enables high-side section at 10,1V
and disables it at 8,4V.
HSGD (High side gate drive, Pin 19)
The Gate of the high-side MOSFET in a half-bridge
inverter topology is controlled by this pin. There is an
active L-level during UVLO and a limitation of the max.
H-level at 11V during normal operation. The switching
characteristics are the same as described for LSGD
(pin 2). It is recommended to use a resistor of about
15Ohm between drive pin and Gate in order to avoid
oscillations and in order to shift the power dissipation of
discharging the Gate capacitance into this resistor.
The dead time between LSGD signal and HSGD signal
is 1800ns typically.
LVS (Lamp voltage sense, Pin 13)
Before the IC enters the softstart mode this pin has to
sense a sink current above 26µA (max) which is fed via
resistors from the bus voltage across the high-side
filament of the fluorescent lamp in order to monitor the
existence of the filament for restart after lamp removal.
Together with RES (pin 12) the IC can monitor the lamp
removal of totally 2 lamps in series.
During run mode the lamp voltage is sensed by the AC
current fed into this pin via resistors. Exceeding one of

3.1
Typical operating levels during start-up
The control of the ballast should be able to start the operation within less than 100ms. Therefore the current
consumption of the IC is less than 150µA during UVLO. With a small start-up capacitor (about 1µF) and a power
supply, that feeds within 100µs (charge pump of the inverter) the IC can cover this feature.
As long as the Vcc is less than 10,5V, the current consumption is typically 80µA. Above a Vcc voltage level of
10,5V the IC checks whether the lamp(s) are assembled by detecting a current across the filaments. The low-side
filament is checked from a source current (20µA typ.) out of pin RES, that produces a voltage drop at the sense
resistor, which is connected via low-side filament to ground. An open filament is detected, when the voltage level
at pin RES is above 1,6V. The high-side filament (or the high-side of a series topology) is checked by a current
(15µA typ.) into the LVS pin. An open high-side filament causes a higher source current (41µA / 34µA typ.) out of
pin RES in order to exceed the 1,6V threshold. If the filament is not able to conduct the test current, the control
circuit is disabled. The IC is enabled as soon as a sufficient current is detected across the filament or the supply
voltage drops below the UVLO threshold (10,5V) e.g. by turn-off and turn-on of mains switch.

Progress of levels during a typical start-up.
When the previous conditions are fulfilled, and Vcc has reached the start-up threshold (14V), there is finally a
check of the Bus voltage. If the level is less than 15% of rated Bus voltage, the IC is waiting in power down mode
until the voltage increases. If the level is above 109% of rated Bus voltage there is no Gate drive, but an active
IC. The supply voltage Vcc will fall below the UVLO threshold and a new start-up attempt is initiated.
As soon as start-up conditions are fulfilled the IC starts driving the inverter with the start-up frequency of 125kHz.
Now the complete control including timers and the PFC control can be set in action. There are current limitation
thresholds for PFC preconverter and ballast inverter equipped with spike filters. The PFC current limitation
interrupts the on-time of the PFC MOSFET if the voltage drop at shunt resistor exceeds 1V and restarts after next
input from ZCD. The inverter current limitation operates with a first threshold of 0,8V which increases the operating
frequency during ignition mode if exceeded. A second threshold is provided at 1,6V that stops the whole control
circuit and latches this event as a fault.

PFC Preconverter
PFC is starting with a fixed frequent operation (ca. 25kHz), beginning with an on-time of 1µs and an off-time of
40µs. The on-time is enlarged every 400µs to a maximum on-time of 23µs. The control switches over into critical
conduction mode (CritCM) operation as soon as a sufficient ZCD signal is available. There is an overvoltage
threshold at 109% of rated Bus voltage that stops PFC Gate drive as long as the Bus voltage has reached a level
of 105% of rated Bus voltage again. The compensation of the voltage control loop is completely integrated. The
internal reference level of the Bus voltage sense (PFCVS) is 2,5V with high accuracy.
The PFC control operates in CritCM in the range of 23µs > on-time > 2,3µs. For lower loads the control operates
in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with an on-time down to 0,5µs and an increasing off-time. With this
control method the PFC preconverter covers a stable operation from 100% of load to 0,1% .

Circuit Diagram of the PFC preconverter section.
Overvoltage, undervoltage and open loop detection at pin PFCVS are sensed by analog comparators. The BUS
voltage loop control is provided by a 8bit sigma-delta A/D-Converter with a sampling rate of 400µs and a resolution
of 4mV/bit. So a range of +/- 0,5V from the reference level of 2,50V is covered. The digital error signal has to pass
a digital notch filter in order to suppress the AC voltage ripple of twice of the mains frequency. A subsequent error
amplifier with PI characteristic cares for stable operation of the PFC preconverter.
The zero current detection is sensed by a separate pin PFCZCD. The information of finished current flow during
demagnetization is required in CritCM and in DCM as well. The input is equipped with a special filtering including
a blanking of typically 500ns and is combined with a large hysteresis between the thresholds of typically 0,5V and
1,5V. In case of bad coupling between primary inductor winding and secondary ZCD-winding an additional filtering
by a capacitor at ZCD pin might be necessary in order to avoid mistriggering by long lasting oscillations during
switching slopes of the PFC MOSFET.

Typical operating levels during start-up
Within 10ms after start-up the inverter shifts operating frequency from 125kHz to the preheating frequency set by
resistor at pin RFPH. Preheating time can be selected by programming resistor at RFPH pin in steps of 17ms from
0ms to 2000ms.
After preheating the operating frequency of the inverter is shifted downwards in 40ms typically to the run
frequency. During this frequency shifting the voltage and current in the resonant circuit will rise when operating
close to the resonant frequency with increasing voltage across the lamp. As soon as the lower current sense level
(0,8V) is reached, the frequency shift downwards is stopped and increased by a couple of frequency steps in order
to limit the current and the ignition voltage also. The procedure of shifting the operating frequency up and down
in order to stay within the max ignition level is limited to a time frame of 235ms. If there is no ignition within this
time the control is disabled and the status is latched as a fault mode.

Detection of End-of-Life and Rectifier Effect
After ignition the lamp voltage breaks down to its run voltage level (typically 50Vpeak to 300Vpeak). Reaching the
run frequency there follows a time period of 250ms called Pre-Run Mode, in which some of the monitoring features
(EOL1, EOL2, Cap.Load1) are still disabled. In the subsequent Run Mode the End-of-life (EOL) monitoring is
enabled. The event EOL1 is detected by measuring the positive and negative peak level of the lamp voltage by a
current fed into the LVS pin (R41, R42, R43 in Fig. 11). If the sensed current exceeds 215µA for longer than 610µs
the status end-of-life (EOL1) or the exceeding of the maximum output power is detected. In Fig. 12 the different
levels of the sensed lamp voltage are illustrated.

of smaller Amplitude
Maximum ratio of amplitudes versus sense current.
Furthermore the rectification effect (EOL2) is detected when the ratio of the higher amplitude divided by the
smaller amplitude of the lamp voltage is bigger than illustrated in Fig. 13. for longer than 500ms. The ratio is
evaluated each cycle of the lamp voltage. The limit of the ratio increases dependend on the peak current of the
smaller amplitude of the lamp voltage from 1,15 at ILVS= 200µA nonlinear to 1,4 at ILVS= 50µA.
If the EOL2 conditions are detected, the control is disabled and the status is latched as a failure mode. Measuring
the duration of incorrect operating conditions is done by a check every 4ms. If the fault condition is existing, a
counter counts up, if the fault condition is not existing, the counter counts down. So we get an integration of the
fault events that allows a very effective monitoring of strange operating conditions.
The detection of EOL1 and EOL2 requires an AC current input at the sense pin LVS for proper operation. A DC
current at pin LVS will lead to a defined reaction only, if the level exeeds 175µA (typically) for longer than 610µs
which results in a shut down and change over into the latched failure mode.
3.5
Detection of capacitive mode operating conditions
If there happens a situation like an open resonant circuit (e.g. a sudden break of the tube) the voltage across the
resonant capacitor and current through the shunt of the low-side inverter MOSFET rise quickly. This event is
detected by inverter current limitation (1,6V) and results in shut down of the control. This status is latched as a
failure mode.
In another kind of failure the operation of the inverter may leave the zero voltage switching (ZVS) and move into
capacitive mode operation or into operation below resonance. There are two different levels for capacitive mode
detection implemented in the IC. A first criteria detects low deviations from ZVS (CapLoad1) and changes
operation into fault mode, if this operation lasts longer than 500ms. For CapLoad1 the same counter is used as
for the end-of-life evaluation.
Preliminary Datasheet Version 1.02
15
March 2009
ICB1FL03G
Functional Description
A second threshold detects severe deviations such as rectangular shapes of voltage during operation below
resonance (CapLoad2). Then the inverter is turned off as soon as these conditions last longer than 610µs and the
IC changes over into fault mode. The evaluation of the failure condition is done by an up and down counter which
samples the status every 40µs.
CapLoad1 is sensed in the moment when low-side Gate drive is turned on. If the voltage level at pin RES is above
the VREScap threshold (typ. 0,24V) related to the level VRESLLV, conditions of CapLoad1 are assumed.
CapLoad2 is sensed in the moment when the high-side Gate drive is turned on. If the voltage level at pin RES is
below the VREScap threshold related to the level VRESLLV, conditions of CapLoad2 are assumed. As the reference
level VRESLLV is a floating level, it is updated every on-time of the low-side MOSFET.
D61 limits voltage transients at pin RES that can occur during removal of the lamp in run mode.

Interruption of Operation and Restart after Lamp Removal
In the event of a failing operation the fault latch is set after the specified reaction time (e.g. 500ms at EOL2). Then
the Gate drives are shut down immediately, the control functions are disabled and the current consumption is
reduced to a level of 150µA (typically). Vcc is clamped by internal zener diode to max 17,5V at 2mA. So the
internal zener diode is only designed to limit Vcc when fed from the start-up current, but not from the charge pump
supply! There is a current limitation at the internal zener diode function (max 5mA at Vcc= 17,5V) in order to avoid
conflicts with the clamping level of the external zener diode.
The capacitor at pin RES is discharged and charged during 32 cycles in order to generate a delay of several 10ms.
The delay is implemented for avoiding malfunctions in detecting the lamp removal due to voltage transients that
can occur after shut down. The reset of the fault latch happens after exceeding the 1,6V threshold at pin RES and
enabling the IC after lamp removal and subsequent decreasing voltage level at pin RES below the 1,3V threshold.

March 2009
ICB1FL03G
Functional Description
The status failure mode is kept as long until a lamp removal is detected (interruption of current across filaments
and detection of the return of the current) or the supply voltage drops below UVLO. After a break down of the
supply voltage below the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold the IC resets any failure latch and will try to
restart as soon as Vcc exceeds the start-up threshold.
An undervoltage (75%) of the bus voltage will not be latched as a fault condition. If the undervoltage lasts longer
than 80µs the Gate drives are switched off and the IC tries to restart after a Vcc hysteresis has been passed.

Note:
Electrical Characteristics
All voltages without the high side signals are measured with respect to ground (pin 4). The high side
voltages are measured with respect to pin17/20. The voltage levels are valid if other ratings are not
violated.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings are defined as ratings, which when being exceeded may lead to destruction
of the integrated circuit. For the same reason make sure, that any capacitor that will be connected to pin 3
(VCC) and pin 18 (HSVCC) is discharged before assembling the application circuit.

Operating Behaviour of a Ballast for a single Fluorescent Lamp
After turning on the mains switch the peak value of the rectified AC input voltage is available at C02 and smoothing
capacitor C10 (Fig. 17). Via R11 and R12 the supply voltage increases at bypass capacitors C12 and C13. At a
level of 10,5V a source current out of pin RES is sensing the existence of the low-side filament of the fluorescent
lamp. Fed from the BUS voltage a current is detected at pin LVS via R41, R42, R43, when the high-side filament
is connected. The current fed into pin LVS is used to charge C12 via internal clamping diode. The IC changes into
active mode when Vcc level achieves the turn-on threshold of 14V and both filaments are detected.
The active IC is sensing the BUS voltage level via R14, R15. Gate drives are disabled when open loop or
overvoltage are detected. If BUS voltage level is within the allowed range, the low-side Gate drive is starting with
the first pulse of the 125kHz softstart frequency. Only few cycles are required to charge the bootstrap capacitor
C14 via D6, R30 and Q3. Without R30 there is a risk of overcurrent shut down by exceeding the 1,6V threshold
at pin LSCS. The power supply is generated by a charge pump C16, D7 and D8. In normal operation C16 is
charged and discharged via C17 from the current forced by the resonance inductor L2 during the deadtime of the
inverter producing a zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation. Run frequency, preheating frequency and preheating
time are set by resistors R21, R22 and R23.

Application circuit of a Ballast for a single Fluorescent Lamp with voltage mode Preheating.
During run mode the lamp voltage is sensed via R41, R42, R43 in order to detect an abnormal increasing of lamp
voltage or an rectifier effect that can occur at end-of-life conditions of the lamp. At the pin RES there is also
detected a non-ZVS operation, classified into Capmode1 and Capmode2. This will be done by the capacitive
divider C18, C19, that transfers the divided AC-part of the inverter output voltage to pin RES. Dependent on the
shape of the signal two different time windows can be started at abnormal conditions in order to protect the ballast.
Zener diode D61 limits voltage transients at pin RES that can occur during removal of the lamp.
Voltage mode preheating is done by two separate windings on the resonant inductor L2. The bandpass filters L21,
C21 and L22, C22 are designed to pass preheating current at preheating frequency only and to block any current
during run mode. Ignition is provided by shifting the operating frequency towards the resonant frequency of L2
and C20. The voltage level during ignition is limited by the current sensed at Shunt resistors R24, R25 with a level
of 0,8V at pin LSCS. Overcurrents that exceed a voltage level of 1,6V for longer than 400ns will disable the IC at
any time and change into fault mode.
The PFC preconverter with L1, Q1 and D5 is starting with a fixed frequent operation and change over to a critical
conduction mode (CritCM) as soon as the level at pin PFCZCD is sufficient to trigger the operation. During light
load the operation mode changes into discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Compensation of the voltage

control loop is completely integrated with a digital filter and error amplifier. PFC overcurrent is sensed by R18,
R19, Bus overvoltage and undervoltage at pin PFCVS. A bypass diode D11 between the DC side of the mains
rectifier and BUS capacitor is recommended in order to avoid an overload of the PFC MOSFET Q1.

Inductor L1 of the boost converter:
The inductivity of the boost inductor typically is designed to operate within a specified voltage range above a
minimum frequency in order to get an easier RFI suppression. It is well known, that in critical conduction mode
(CritCM) there is a minimum operating frequency at low input voltages and another minimum at maximum input
voltage. In state-of-the-art CritCM PFC controllers we use the lowest value out of these two criterias:

Other Ballast Topologies
How to use ICB1FL03G in alternative topologies is demonstrated in the subsequent figures. In Fig. 18 we see an
application for a single lamp with current mode preheating. Compared with Fig. 17 the difference is the connection
of the resonant capacitor in series with the filaments. In respect of operating behaviour the current mode
preheating cannot be designed with same variation of operating parameters: the preheating current is typically
lower and lamp voltage during preheating higher than in topologies with voltage mode preheating.
