Undervoltage Lockout Mode (UVLO)

VUVLO-
The undervoltage lockout 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 3 of this document. The
IRS2168D undervoltage lockout 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. Figure 1 shows an
efficient supply voltage using the micro-power start-up
current of the IRS2168D together with a snubber charge
pump from the half-bridge output (RVCC, CVCC1, CVCC2,
CSNUB, DCP1 and DCP2).

Figure 1: Start-up and supply circuitry
The VCC capacitors (CVCC1 and CVCC2) are charged by the
current through supply resistor (RVCC) minus the start-up
current drawn by the IC. This resistor is chosen to set the
desired AC line input voltage turn-on threshold for the
ballast. When the voltage at VCC exceeds the IC start-up
threshold (VCCUV+) and the SD pin is below 3.0 V (VSDTH-),
the IC turns on and LO begins to oscillate. The capacitors
at VCC begin to discharge due to the increase in IC
operating current (Fig. 2). The high-side supply voltage,
VB-VS, begins to increase as capacitor CBS is charged
through the internal bootstrap MOSFET during the LO ontime of each LO switching cycle. When the VB-VS voltage
exceeds the high-side start-up threshold (VBSUV+), HO then
begins to oscillate. This may take several cycles of LO to
charge VB-VS above VBSUV+ due to RDSon of the internal
bootstrap MOSFET.

Figure 2: VCC supply voltage
When LO and HO are both oscillating, the external
MOSFETs (MHS and MLS) are turned on and off with a
50% duty cycle and a non-overlapping deadtime of 1.6
µs (td). The half-bridge output (pin VS) begins to switch
between the DC bus voltage and COM. During the
deadtime between the turn-off of LO and the turn-on of
HO, the half-bridge output voltage transitions from COM
to the DC bus voltage at a dV/dt rate determined by the
snubber capacitor (CSNUB). As the snubber capacitor
charges, current will flow through the charge pump diode
(DCP2) to VCC. After several switching cycles of the halfbridge output, the charge pump and the internal 15.6 V
Zener clamp of the IC take over as the supply voltage.
Capacitor CVCC2 supplies the IC current during the VCC
discharge time and should be large enough such that
VCC does not decrease below UVLO- before the charge
pump takes over. Capacitor CVCC1 is required for noise
filtering and must be placed as close as possible and
directly between VCC and COM, and should not be lower
than 0.1 µF Resistors R1 and R2 are recommended for
limiting high currents that can flow to VCC from the charge
pump during hard-switching of the half-bridge or during
lamp ignition. The internal bootstrap MOSFET and
supply capacitor (CBS) comprise the supply voltage for
the high side driver circuitry. During UVLO mode, the
high- and low-side driver outputs HO and LO are both
low, the internal oscillator is disabled, and pin CPH is
connected internally to COM for resetting the preheat
time.
Page 11
IRS2168D(S)PbF
Preheat Mode (PH)
The IRS2168D enters preheat mode when VCC exceeds
the UVLO positive-going threshold (VCCUV+). The internal
MOSFET that connects pin CPH to COM is turned off and
an external resistor (Fig. 3) begins to charge the external
preheat timing capacitor (CPH). LO and HO begin to
oscillate at a higher soft-start frequency and ramp down
quickly to the preheat frequency. The VCO pin is
connected to COM through an internal
off and resistor RPH is disconnected from COM. The
equivalent resistance at the FMIN pin increases from the
parallel combination (RPH//RFMIN) to RFMIN at a rate
programmed by the external capacitor at pin VCO (CVCO)
and resistor RPH. This causes the operating frequency to
ramp down smoothly from the preheat frequency through
the ignition frequency to the final run frequency. During
this ignition ramp, the frequency sweeps through the
resonance frequency of the lamp output stage to ignite
the lamp.

Ignition Mode (IGN)
The IRS2168D ignition mode is defined by the second
time CPH charges from 1/3*VCC (VCPHSOI-) to 2/3*VCC
(VCPHRUN+). When the voltage on pin CPH exceeds
2/3*VCC (VCPHRUN+) for the first time, pin CPH is discharged
quickly through an internal MOSFET down to 1/3*VCC
(VCPHSOI-) (see Figs. 4 and 5). The internal MOSFET
turns off and the voltage on pin CPH begins to increase
again. The internal MOSFET M1 at pin VCO turn

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. This resistor programs the
maximum peak ignition current (and therefore peak

ignition voltage) of the ballast output stage. Should this
voltage exceed the internal threshold of 1.2 V (VCSTH+), the
ignition regulation circuit controls the voltage on the VCO
pin to increase the frequency slightly (see Fig. 6). This
cycle-by-cycle feedback from the CS pin to the VCO pin
will adjust the frequency each cycle to limit the amplitude
of the current for the entire duration of ignition mode.

During ignition mode, the PFC circuit is working in highgain mode and keeps the DC bus voltage regulated at a
constant level. The high-gain mode is necessary to
prevent the DC bus from decreasing during lamp ignition
or ignition regulation. Also during ignition mode, the
SD/EOL fault is disabled.

Run Mode (RUN)
Once VCC has exceeded 2/3*VCC (VCPHRUN+) for the
second time, the IC enters run mode. CPH continues to
charge up to VCC. The operating frequency is at the
minimum frequency (after the ignition ramp) and is
programmed by the external resistor (RFMIN) at the FMIN
pin. Should hard-switching occur at the half-bridge at any
time (open-filament, lamp removal, etc.), the voltage
across the current sensing resistor (RCS) will exceed the
internal threshold of 1.2 V (VCSTH+) and the fault counter
will begin counting (see Fig. 5). Should the number of
consecutive over-current faults exceed 65 (nEVENTS), the
IC will enter fault mode and the HO, LO and PFC gate
driver outputs will be latched low. During run mode, the
end-of-life (EOL) window comparator and the DC bus
undervoltage reset are both enabled.
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 that 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
reset threshold VBUSUV-. When the IC is in run mode and
the voltage at the VBUS pin decreases below 3.0 V (VBUSUV), VCC will be discharged through an internal MOSFET
down to the VCCUV- threshold and all gate driver outputs
will be latched low. For proper ballast design, the
designer should set the over-current limit of the PFC
section such that the DC bus does not drop until the AC
line input voltage falls below the minimum rated input
voltage of the ballast (see PFC section). When the PFC
over-current limit is correctly set, the DC bus voltage will
start to decrease when over-current is reached during
low-line conditions. The voltage measured at the VBUS pin
will decrease below the internal 3.0 V threshold VBUSUVand the ballast will turn off cleanly. The pull-up resistor to
VCC (RVCC) will then turn the ballast on again when the AC
input line voltage increases high enough again where VCC
exceeds VCCUV+. RVCC should be set to turn the ballast on
at the minimum specified ballast input voltage and the
PFC over-current should be set somewhere below this
level. This hysteresis will result in clean turn-on and turnoff of the ballast.
www.irf.com
SD/EOL and CS Fault Mode
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 and
VCO is discharged to COM for resetting the frequency.
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 3).
Once 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 1.2 V (VCSTH+) for 65 (nEVENTS) consecutive
cycles of LO. The voltage at the CS pin is AND-ed with
LO (see Fig. 9) so it will work with pulses that occur
during the LO on-time or DC. If the over-current faults
are not consecutive, then the internal fault counter will
count back down each cycle when there is no fault.
Should an over-current fault occur only for a few cycles
and then not occur again, the counter will eventually reset
to zero. The over-current fault counter is enabled during
preheat and run modes and disabled during ignition
mode.

II. PFC Section
Functional Description
V, I
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% and represents a pure
sinusoidal waveform (no distortion). For this reason it is
desirable to have a high PF and a low THD. To achieve
this, the IRS2168D includes an active power factor
correction (PFC) circuit.
The control method implemented in the IRS2168D is for a
boost-type converter (Fig. 10) running in criticalconduction 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 to 60 Hz).

line input current (dashed line) over one half-cycle of the
AC line input voltage
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 PFC control circuit of the IRS2168D (Fig. 12)
includes five control pins: VBUS, COMP, ZX, PFC and OC.
The VBUS pin measures 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
with an external capacitor. The ZX pin detects when the
inductor current discharges to zero each switching cycle
using a secondary winding from the PFC inductor. The PFC
pin is the low-side gate driver output for the external
MOSFET, MPFC. The OC pin senses the current flowing
through MPFC and performs cycle-by-cycle over-current
protection.

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.
MPFC is turned on and off at a high frequency and the
voltage on CBUS charges up to a specified voltage. The
feedback loop of the IRS2168D regulates this voltage to a
fixed value by continuously monitoring the DC bus
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. 11).

Figure 12: IRS2168D simplified PFC control circuit
The VBUS pin is regulated against a fixed internal 4.0 V
reference voltage for regulating the DC bus voltage (Fig.
13). 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, Figure
13) 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 that
can occur during ignition. During run mode, the gain is
then decreased to a lower level necessary for a slower

The off-time of MPFC is determined by the time it takes the
LPFC current to discharge to zero. The zero current level
is detected by a secondary winding on LPFC that is
connected to the ZX pin through an external current
limiting resistor RZX. A positive-going edge exceeding the
internal 2 V threshold (VZXTH+) signals the beginning of the
off-time. A negative-going edge on the ZX pin falling
below 1.7 V (VZXTH+ - VZXHYS) will occur when the LPFC
current discharges to zero which signals the end of the
off-time and MPFC is turned on again (Fig. 14). The 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. Should the
OC pin exceed the 1.2 V (VOCTH+) over-current threshold
during the on-time, the PFC output will turn off. The
circuit will then wait for a negative-going transition on the
ZX pin or a forced turn-on from the watch-dog timer to
turn the PFC output on again.

...
On-time Modulation Circuit
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 that 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. 15). This causes the peak
LPFC current, and therefore the smoothed line input
current, to increase slightly higher near the zerocrossings 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.

DC Bus Over-voltage Protection
Should over-voltage occur on the DC bus and the VBUS
pin exceeds the internal 4.3 V threshold (VBUSOV+), the
PFC output is disabled (set to a logic ‘low’). When the
DC bus decreases again and the VBUS pin decreases
below the internal 4.15 V threshold (VBUSOV-), a watch-dog
pulse is forced on the PFC pin and normal PFC operation
is resumed.

When the input line voltage decreases, the on-time of
MPFC increases to keep the DC bus constant. The ontime will continue to increase as the line voltage
continues to decrease until the OC pin exceeds the
internal 1.2 V over-current threshold (VOCTH+). At this
time, the on-time can no longer increase and the PFC can
no longer supply enough current to keep the DC bus fixed
for the given load power. This will cause the DC bus to
begin to decrease. The decreasing DC bus will cause the
VBUS pin to decrease below the internal 3.0 V threshold
(VBUSUV-) (Fig. 12).
Page 16
IRS2168D(S)PbF
When this occurs, VCC is discharged internally to UVLO.
The IRS2168D enters UVLO mode and both the PFC and
ballast sections are disabled. The start-up supply resistor
to VCC, together with the micro-power start-up current,
should be set such that the ballast turns on at an AC line
input voltage above the level at which the DC bus begins
to drop. The current-sensing resistor at the OC pin sets
the maximum PFC current and therefore sets the
maximum on-time of MPFC. This prevents saturation of
the PFC inductor and programs the minimum low-line
input voltage for the ballast. The micro-power supply
resistor to VCC and the current-sensing resistor at the OC
pin program the on and off input line 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 voltage (hysterisis) due to the supply resistor to
VCC.
Step 3: Program Preheat Time and Ignition Time
The preheat time is defined by the time it takes for the
external capacitor on pin CPH to charge up to VCPHEOP+. An
external resistor (RCPH) connected to VCC charges
capacitor CPH. The preheat time is therefore given as:

given as:
