7. Functional description
The UBA20270 is an IC for driving external half-bridge MOSFETs in self ballasted
high-power CFL and their derivatives. The UBA20270 is equipped with a dimming control
input that has a logarithmic corrected natural dimming function. This function enables a
less sensitive brightness control of the lamp at low dim levels.
The UBA20270 is rated up to a maximum continuous rectified mains voltage of 500 V
(peak 600 V). The UBA20270 includes all the necessary functions for preheat, ignition,
boost, and on-state operation of the lamp. In addition, the UBA20270 includes several
protection measures that safeguard the functioning of the CFL and controller. The
controller states are shown in Figure 3.

UBA20270
NXP Semiconductors
600 V Driver IC for dimmable compact fluorescent lamps
7.1 Lamp start-up cycle
7.1.1 Reset state
The UBA20270 is in a reset state while the supply voltage on the VDD pin is below the
VDD(rst) level. In the reset state, a part of the internal supply is turned off, all registers,
counters and timers are undefined. In addition, the hold state latch is reset and both the
applied external high and low-side transistor (Q1, Q2) are non-conductive. During
power-up, the low voltage supply capacitor on the VDD pin is charged via an external
start-up resistor. When the voltage on the VDD pin is above the VDD(rst) level, the start-up
state is entered. The UBA20270 enters the reset state when the supply voltage on the
VDD pin drops lower than VDD(rst).
7.1.2 Start-up state
Start-up is achieved by charging the low voltage supply capacitor on the VDD pin via an
external start-up resistor. At start-up the High-Side (HS) transistor is non-conductive and
the Low-Side (LS) is conductive to enable charging of the bootstrap capacitor. This
capacitor supplies the HS driver and level shifter circuit connected between the FS and
HBO pin. A DC reset circuit is incorporated in the ICs HS driver. This circuit ensures that
lower than the lockout voltage on the FS pin the output voltage (VGHS - VHBO) is zero.
As the start-up state is entered, the circuit only starts oscillating when the low voltage
supply (VDD) reaches the value of VDD(start) AND Vi(DCI) > Vth(start)DCI. The circuit starts
oscillating at fbridge(max).
The circuit enters the preheat state as soon as the capacitor on the CP pin is charged to a
voltage level above Vth(CP)max. To remain oscillating, the VDD voltage must remain higher
than VDD(stop) and lower than the upper limit VDD(clamp). In addition, the typical voltage level
on the DCI pin must be higher than Vth(start)DCI  Vth(hys)DCI = 0.24 V.
An UnderVoltage LockOut (UVLO) is implemented on the DCI pin to create a guaranteed
turn-off for multiple lamps when the lamps are at low dim levels. The UVLO also
guarantees that there is a preheat phase when the dim level is turned up again.
The typical turn-on level on the DCI pin is set to lower than Vth(start)DCI = 0.36 V, else it
increases the turn-on hysteresis of the lamp. This level enables the UBA20270 to perform
a stable ignition of the lamp when there is already sufficient power from the dimmer at
lower dim levels.
During the start-up state, the voltage on the CF pin is at zero and the CB pin is close to
zero. The voltage on the CP pin rises to higher than Vth(CP)max level during the start-up
state. See Figure 9.
7.1.3 Preheat state
Starting at fbridge(max), the frequency decreases by charging capacitor CCI via an output
current circuit controlled by the preheat current sensor circuit. This state continues until
the momentary value of the voltage across sense resistor RSLS reaches the internally
fixed preheat voltage level (SLS pin). At this level, the current of the preheat current
sensor reaches a charge and discharge balanced state on capacitor CCI to set the
frequency.

UBA20270
NXP Semiconductors
600 V Driver IC for dimmable compact fluorescent lamps
The preheat time consists of eight saw-toothed pulses at the CP pin. Preheat begins as
soon as the capacitor on the CP pin is charged to a voltage higher than Vth(CP)max. During
the preheat time, the current feedback sensor circuit (input CSI pin) is disabled. To
increase noise immunity, an internal filter of 30 ns is included at the SLS pin.
If during preheat, the level on the DCI pin drops lower than Vth(start)DCI  Vth(hys)DCI
= 0.24 V or the VDD pin drops lower than VDD(stop), the preheat state is immediately
stopped. The circuit enters the hold state delaying a new preheat cycle. A fixed voltage
drop on the preheat capacitor CCP and a fixed discharge current on the CP pin sets the
delay time.
A new preheat cycle starts after the CP pin level slowly discharges. This condition
continues until VCP < Vth(rel)CP and recharges higher than Vth(CP)max provided
VDD > VDD(start) AND Vi(DCI) > Vth(start)DCI. See Figure 5.

7.1.4 Ignition state
Directly after the preheat state has been completed, the ignition state is entered. In the
ignition state, the frequency sweeps down due to charging of the capacitor CCI on the CI
pin with an internally fixed current. See Figure 4. During this continuous decrease in
frequency, the circuit approaches the resonant frequency of the resonant tank L2, C5.
This results in a high voltage across the lamp to ignite the lamp. The current sensor circuit
which monitors the voltage over resistor RCSI detects lamp ignition. See Figure 11.
If the voltage on the CSI pin is above the typical ignition detection threshold voltage level
of 0.6 V, lamp ignition is detected. The system then changes from ignition state to the
boost or burn state. If no ignition is detected, the frequency decreases further to the
minimum half-bridge frequency fbridge(min). To prevent continuous ignition attempts and
over-heating of the application due to lamp damage, the UBA20270 only attempts to ignite
the lamp twice after power-up. The ignition attempt counter is incremented when the lamp
ignition threshold voltage on the CSI pin is not exceeded at the end of the ignition
enabling time. If a second ignition attempt also exceeds the ignition time-out period, the IC
enters the power-down state. See Figure 5.

7.1.5 Boost state and transition to burn state
When ignition is detected by measuring lamp current on the CSI pin, the circuit enters the
boost state. Figure 7 shows the boost and burn state in more detail. In the boost state, the
nominal burn state lamp current can be increased with a fixed boost ratio of 1.5:1. This
boosts up the slow luminescence increase of a cold amalgam CFL lamp, provided
VDCI > Vth(bst)DCI. If the IC is at a temperature (Tj(bp)bst) before entering the boost state, the
burn state is bypassed.
A boost timing circuit is included to determine the boost time and transition to burn time.
The circuit consists of a clock generator comprising CCB, Rext(RREF) and a 64-step counter.
When the timer is not operating, CCB is discharged to lower than the Vth(CB)min level of
1.1 V. This voltage, about 0.6 V, is still higher than the level at which the comparator on
CCB detects if the CB pin is shorted to ground.
The boost time consists of 63 saw-toothed pulses at the CB pin and automatically
followed by the transition time at the CP pin. The 32 saw-tooth pulses form the transition
time from boost to burn enabling a smooth transition between the current controlled boost
and burn state. The total transition time is approximately four times the preheat time as
shown in Figure 6.

Boost timing
In the boost state, the lamp current feedback control circuit operates the same as in the
burn state. This action is used to improve lamp stability. Lamp current boosted by a fixed
ratio of 1.5 compared to the burn state, boosts up the slow luminescence increase of a
cold CFL lamp. In the boost to burn transition time there is a slow 15-step ratio decrease
from 1.5 to 1. For the transition to burn time, the preheat timer is reused and the boost
ratio is gradually decreased in 15 steps from 1.5 to 1. The steps occur within 32
saw-toothed pulses on the CP pin. The 32 saw-toothed pulses form the transition time
from boost to burn to enable a smooth transition between the current controlled boost and
burn state. Given the application values of CCB and Rext(RREF) a boost time of more than
300 s is possible. In addition to boost bypass at temperature Tj(bp)bst ( 80 C), there is a
temperature protection function during the boost state of Tj(end)bst ( 120 C). If the IC
temperature passes this level during boost, the transition timer is immediately started in
order to enter the burn state faster. This action effectively reduces the boost time. See
Figure 4 [B].
The current boost in the boost state does not start when Vi(DCI) is lower than Vth(bst)DCI.
Current boost ends when Vi(DCI) is lower than Vth(bst)DCI  Vth(bst)hys(DCI) without a boost
transition. See Figure 4 [A].
Remark: If the CB pin is shorted to ground, the boost function is disabled. During such
conditions, the bottom frequency fbridge(min) is 1.8 times higher than the boost bottom
frequency fbridge(bst)min.
7.1.6 Burn state
After the boost state, or when the boost state is bypassed burn state starts. The lamp
current sensor circuit is still enabled. See Figure 4 [A]. The CSI pin (current sense input)
measures the RMS voltage across sense resistor RCSI. It then passes through a
Double-Sided Rectifier (DSR) circuit and fed towards an Operational Transconductor
Amplifier (OTA). When the RMS voltage on the CSI pin reaches the internal reference
level, the lamp current sensor circuit takes over the control of the lamp current. The

7.1.7 Hold state
The hold state is a special state to reduce lamp flicker at deep dim levels, on or near dim
and ignition threshold level. See Figure 3.
The hold state is entered following:
• a failed ignition attempt
• or when the low supply voltage VDD is lower than VDD(stop) in the ignition or preheat
state
• or when VDCI < Vth(start)DCI  Vth(hys)DCI in the ignition or preheat state
A repeated aborted preheat or ignition cycle due to a drop in DCI voltage that is lower than
Vth(start)DCI  Vth(hys)DCI or a drop in supply voltage that is lower than VDD(stop) in preheat or
ignition state does not increment the ignition attempt counter. The UBA20271/2 enters the
hold state only delaying a new preheat cycle by the same time delay and mechanism. As
shown in Figure 5 hold state retention time.

UBA20270
NXP Semiconductors
600 V Driver IC for dimmable compact fluorescent lamps
When CP is lower than Vth(rel)CP, the IC is released from the hold state and moves to the
start-up state. See Figure 3. Alternatively, the hold state ends when the supply voltage is
lower than VDD(rst) and the IC is reset.
With a 470 nF capacitor on the CP pin, the typical hold state retention delay is between
1.0 seconds and 1.7 seconds. However, it depends on where the preheat cycle is cut off
on the rising or falling edge of the preheat timing. The retention time for a failed ignition
always starts from the top of the rising edge on the CP pin. See Figure 5. In the hold state,
a latch is set (hold state latch = 1), the oscillator is stopped, transistor HS is
non-conductive and transistor LS conducting. The voltage on pin VDD alternates between
VDD(start) and VDD(stop) as long as the voltage on the CP pin has not reached Vth(rel)CP. See
Figure 5.
The alternating supply voltage is a result of the current drawn by the IC supply pin VDD.
The supply current is less than 220 A, when the supply voltage VDD is increasing
between VDD(stop) and VDD(start). The supply current is typically 2 mA when VDD is
decreasing between VDD(start) and VDD(stop). More current is drawn during the decreasing
slope of VDD as the internal analog supply is turned on when VDD > VDD(start). This
condition enables comparators in the IC to monitor the voltage on the CP pin and whether
the supply voltage VDD decreases lower than VDD(stop).
7.2 Oscillation and timing
7.2.1 Oscillation
The internal oscillator is a VCO circuit which generates a sawtooth waveform between the
Vth(CF)max level and 0 V. Capacitor CCF, resistor Rext(RREF), and the voltage at the CI pin
determine the frequency of the sawtooth. Rext(RREF) and CCF determine the minimum and
maximum switching frequencies. Their ratio is internally fixed. There are two ratios, the
ratio between fbridge(max) and fbridge(min) is 2.5 and the ratio between fbridge(max) and
fbridge(bst)min is 4.6. The sawtooth frequency is twice the half-bridge frequency.
Transistors HS (Q1) and LS (Q2) are brought into conduction with a duty cycle of
approximately 50 %. Figure 8 provides an overview of the oscillator signal and driver
signals. The oscillator starts oscillating at fbridge(max). The non-overlap time between the
gate drive signals VGLS and VGHS is tno.

7.2.2 Combined timing circuit
A combined timing circuit is included to determine the preheat time, ignition enabling time
and overcurrent time, see Figure 9. The circuit consists of a clock generator defined by
CCP and Rext(RREF) and a counter. When the timer is not operating, CCP is charged to 5 V.
The timing circuit starts operating after the start-up state, as soon as the low supply
voltage has reached VDD(start). Additionally the DCI input voltage must be higher than
Vth(start)DCI and the voltage on the CP pin must pass Vth(CP)max. The preheat time consists
of eight saw-tooth pulses on the CP pin as shown in Figure 9. The maximum ignition
enabling time following the preheat phase is two complete sawtooth (triangular) pulses.
During the boost and burn state, part of the timer is used to generate the maximum
overcurrent time (more than one half of the saw-toothed pulse). If a continuous
overcurrent is detected, the timer starts.

7.3 Natural linear dimming
What determines the actual internal set point level used for the current control feedback
loop is an external level applied via the DCI pin for dimming. The DCI voltage is a function
of the phase cut angle of the applied dimmer. To ensure that the external input for the
control on the DCI pin internally stays within a certain range, this input signal passes an
internal linear to logarithmic conversion circuit followed by a limiting circuit.
The linear to logarithmic conversion circuit is designed to improve dimming control by
correcting for the higher sensitivity of the human eye to small changes in low light levels.
See Figure 10. The conversion circuit also provides a natural perceived linear brightness
adjustment of the lamp.
The limiting circuit prevents the signal falling below the MDL or rising above the 100 %
reference level of Vclamp(CSI). The output of the linear to logarithmic conversion circuit is
the actual reference voltage for the lamp current control loop. See signal VLD in Figure 1
(dimmer control block). When the IC is in the burn state, the voltage is equal to the RMS
voltage on the CSI pin. When the control loop is regulating correctly, the upper limit is
clamped at the 100 % reference level. This condition prevents lamp current values that
are too high in mains overvoltage situations. See Figure 10.
The MDL level presets a minimum to which the lamp current clips at low dim levels and is
adjustable via the MDL pin. An accurate minimum dimming voltage level is set by using an
internal reference current (derived from the internal band gap reference circuit and
resistor Rext(RREF)) and an applied external resistor RMDL on the MDL pin.

7.4 Protection and power-down
7.4.1 Coil saturation protection
Coil saturation protection is integrated into the IC to allow for the use of small CFL lamps
and use of small coils. Saturation of these coils is detected and excessive overcurrent due
to saturation is prevented. Coil saturation protection is only enabled during the ignition
state. To limit voltages and currents in the resonant circuit when there is no ignition or
delayed ignition, a cycle-by-cycle control mechanism is used to prevent coil saturation.
This control also limits the high peak current and dissipation in the half-bridge power
transistors.
Coil saturation is detected by monitoring the voltage across the RSLS resistor. A trigger is
generated when this voltage exceeds the Vth(sat)SLS level. When saturation is detected, a
fixed current Io(sat)CF is injected into the CCF capacitor to shorten the switching cycle of
the half-bridge. The injected current is maintained until the end of the switching cycle. This
action immediately increases the half-bridge switching frequency. Furthermore, in each
successive cycle that coil saturation is detected, capacitor CCI is discharged to enable an
ignition time-out detection in the ignition state.

600 V Driver IC for dimmable compact fluorescent lamps
Coil saturation protection is triggered when the voltage on the SLS pin exceeds Vth(sat)SLS.
The voltage VSLS on the SLS pin is also used to set the preheat current. The value of
external resistor RSLS determines this voltage.
7.4.2 OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
OCP is active in the burn and boost states (not during boost transition). When the peak
absolute value of the voltage across the current sense resistor on the SLS pin exceeds
the OCP reference level Vth(ocp)SLS, overcurrent is detected. A current Io(CP) is then sunk
from the capacitor connected to the CP pin for the next full cycle. If the overcurrent is
absent at the end of this cycle, the current is disabled. Instead a current, also equal to
Io(CP), is sourced to the CP pin. If the overcurrent occurs in more than half the number of
cycles, there is a net discharging of the capacitor connected to the CP pin. When the
voltage, on the CP pin is lower than Vth(CP)min the IC enters power-down mode. In a
continuous overcurrent condition, the overcurrent time-out of tfault(oc) takes about 1⁄10 tph.
The IC then enters the power-down mode. The Vth(ocp)SLS level corresponds with the
Vth(sat)SLS level during the ignition state.
7.4.3 OverPower Protection (OPP)
OPP is active in boost and burn state. The lamp current is limited and regulated to its
nominal designed lamp current in case overvoltage situations on the mains supply occur.
The overpower comes into action when the DCI voltage, that regulates the lamp current is
exceeding the maximum DCI input range. Internally the DCI voltage is clamped to the
maximum input voltage level VT(hec3)DCI, see Figure 10. The DCI clamp level is
independent of any supply voltage fluctuations.
7.4.4 Capacitive Mode Protection (CMP)
CMP is active in the ignition, burn and boost states and during boost transition. The signal
across resistor RSLS also provides information about the switching behavior of the
half-bridge. When conditions are normal, the current flows from the source of the LS
transistor to the half-bridge when the LS transistor is switched on. This results in a
negative voltage on the SLS pin. As the circuit yields to capacitive mode, the voltage
decreases and eventually reverses polarity. The protection prevents this condition from
happening by checking if the voltage on the SLS pin is higher than Vth(capm)SLS.
If the voltage across resistor RSLS is above the Vth(capm)SLS threshold when the LS
transistor is switched on, the circuit assumes that it is in capacitive mode. When
capacitive mode is detected, the currents from the OTA are disabled and the capacitive
mode sink current, Io(sink)CI, is enabled. This sink current discharges the capacitor/resistor
circuitry on the CI pin and as a result gradually increase the half-bridge frequency.
Discharge continues for the remainder of the current switching cycle, so the total current
on CI is equal to the sink current. If capacitive mode persists, the action is repeated until
capacitive mode is not detected. If the capacitive mode is no longer detected, the OTA
starts regulating again.
If the conditions causing the capacitive mode persist, the OTA regulates the system back
towards capacitive mode with the protection system taking control. The system operates
on the edge of capacitive mode. During boost and burn state, if the load on the half-bridge
continues to be capacitive at higher frequencies, CMP eventually drives the half-bridge to
the maximum frequency fbridge(max). From this point, the IC enters power-down mode.

7.4.5 Power-down mode
Power-down mode is entered when:
• a continuous overcurrent exceeds the maximum overcurrent time-out tfault(oc). Or over
a longer period if the overcurrent occurs in more than half the number of cycles as
soon as Vth(CP)min is reached.
• during the boost or the burn state fbridge(max) is reached due to capacitive mode
detection
• two consecutive failed lamp ignition attempts occur
In power-down mode, the oscillator is stopped and the HS transistor is non-conductive
while the LS transistor is conductive. The VDD supply is internally clamped. The circuit is
released from power-down mode by lowering the low voltage supply lower than VDD(rst)
(mains switch reset).
An option exists to set the IC in power-down mode via external logic. The external
power-down option is only available when the IC is in the boost or burn state. To enable
the external power-down option, the CP pin is used. When pin CP, is connected via a
10 k resistor to either PGND or SGND the voltage on pin CP is pulled down lower than
Vth(pd)CP. This results in the IC entering power-down mode.
Remark: Do not connect the CP pin directly to SGND or PGND pin. Connect the SGND or
PGND pin via a series 10 kresistor otherwise excessive currents flow during reset and
start-up state. Excessive current prevent the IC from starting up.
7.4.6 OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
The OTP circuit is designed to prevent the IC from overheating in hazardous
environments. The circuit is triggered when the IC temperature exceeds the maximum
temperature value Tj(otp). OTP changes the lamp current to the level that corresponds to
Votp(CSI) level. This condition remains until the IC temperature reduces by 20 C
(=Tj(otp)hys) and returns to the DCI controlled level.
