NXP GreenChip lighting driver ICs UBA2026x and UBA2027x

NXP GreenChip lighting
driver ICs UBA2026x &
UBA2027x
Deep-dimming CFL driver ICs
with boost function
These dimmable CFL drivers and power ICs, based on NXP’s proven GreenChip technology,
enable next-generation dimmable CFLs that deliver incandescent dimming performance
with CFL efficiency.
Key features: UBA2027x
} Robust, deep-dimmable solution for most leading- and
trailing-edge phase cut dimmers (benchmark performance)
} Natural dimming curve by logarithmic correction
NXP’s UBA2026x and UBA2027x devices allow the lamp
manufacturer to meet or exceed the latest SuperCFL
specifications, as well as the Energy Star
and EU regulations.
Key features: UBA2026x
} Four-level step dimming adjustment using a standard on/off
mains switch
} Adjustable memory retention time for step dimming
The UBA2027x family suits retrofit CFL designs based on
existing triac- or transistor-based wall dimmers. These ICs
emulate a natural dimming curve using logarithmic correction
together with an adjustable minimum deep dimming level down
to 2%.
Shared features
} Boost function for shorter run-up time
} Fixed boost ratio of 1.5 times after ignition
} Adjustable boost timing
} Accurate adjustable in current and time preheat function
to extend number of switching cycles
} Adjustable minimum dimming level
} Meet and exceed SuperCFL specifications
The UBA2026x family provides an easy-to-use “step-dimmable”
solution. The ICs feature an adjustable memory retention time
and an adjustable minimum dimming level, and dim in four
defined steps by simply toggling the standard on-off switch.
Both families include dedicated devices for 120 V and for 230 V
mains voltages. Housed in an SO20 package and incorporating
half-bridge MOSFETs, they offer very high integration for lamps
up to 20 W. The devices are also available in a controlleronly SO16 package, without these half-bridge MOSFETs, so
designers can use two external MOSFETs for higher lamp
powers and greater design flexibility.
integrated preheat function maximizes the number of switching
cycles and consequently delivers longer lamp lifetimes. Bulbs
based on these ICs can reach lifetimes well above standard CFL
expectations, with over 15,000 hours of use and up to 100,000
on/off switching cycles.
Several “smart” features improve performance in CFLs. The
UBA2027x contains special circuitry to enable flicker-free deep
dimming; this is a dedicated feature for TRIAC dimmable
systems, which is not present in generic CFL/TL controller ICs.
A unique “boost” system accelerates lamp warm-up for up to
three minutes, enabling a fully bright light in less time. Also, an
Design tools
The ICs are supported by special software tools that calculate
the right component values based on customer requirements
and lamp characteristics. Demo boards and samples are also
available; please contact NXP for details.
