Description
The IR2157 is a fully integrated, fully protected 600V ballast control IC designed to
drive virtually all types of rapid start fluorescent lamp ballasts. Externally programmable features such as preheat time & frequency, ignition ramp characteristics, and
running mode operating frequency provide a high degree of flexibility for the ballast
design engineer. Comprehensive protection features such as protection from failure
of a lamp to strike, filament failures, low dc bus conditions, thermal overload, or lamp
failure during normal operation, as well as an automatic restart function, have been
included in the design. The heart of this control IC is a variable frequency oscillator
with externally programmmable deadtime. Precise control of a 50% duty cycle is
accomplished using a T-flip-flop. The IR2157 is available in both 16 pin DIP and 16
pin narrow body SOIC packages.

Enough current should be supplied into the VCC lead to keep the internal 15.6V zener clamp diode on this lead
regulating its voltage.
Due to the fact that the RT input is a voltage-controlled current source, the total RT pin current is sum of all of
the parallel current sources connected to that pin. For optimum oscillator current mirror performance, this total
current should be kept between 50mA and 500mA. During the preheat mode, the total current flowing out of
the RT pin consists of the RPH pin current plus the current due to the RT resistor. During the run mode, the
total RT pin current consists of the RUN pin current plus the the current due to the RT resistor.

When the IC senses an overtemperature condition (Tj > 175ºC), the IC is latched off. In order to reset this Fault
Latch, the SD pin must be cycled high and then low, or the VCC supply to the IC must be cycled below the
falling undervoltage lockout threshold (VCCUV-).

Description of Operation & Component Selection Tips
Supply Bypassing and PC Board Layout
Rules
Connecting the IC Ground (COM) to the
Power Ground
Component selection and placement on the pc
board is extremely important when using power
control ICs VCC should be bypassed to COM as close
to the IC terminals as possible with a low ESR/ESL
capacitor, as shown in Figure 1 below.
Both the low power control circuitry and low side
gate driver output stage grounds return to this pin
within the IC. The COM pin should be connected to
the bottom terminal of the current sense resistor in
the source of the low side power MOSFET using an
individual pc board trace, as shown in Figure 2. In
addition, the ground return path of the timing
components and VCC decoupling capacitor should
be connected directly to the IC COM pin, and not via
separate traces or jumpers to other ground traces on
the board.

A rule of thumb for the value of this bypass capacitor
is to keep its minimum value at least 2500 times the
value of the total input capacitance (Ciss) of the
power transistors being driven. This decoupling
capacitor can be split between a higher valued
electrolytic type and a lower valued ceramic type
connected in parallel, although a good quality
electrolytic (e.g., 10mF) placed immediately adjacent
to the VCC and COM terminals will work well.
V B U S return
Figure 2: COM pin connection PCB layout example
These connection technique prevents high current
ground loops from interfering with sensitive timing
component operation, and allows the entire control
circuit to reject common-mode noise due to output
switching.
In a typical application circuit, the supply voltage to
the IC is normally derived by means of a high value
startup resistor (1/4W) from the rectified line voltage,
in combination with a charge pump from the output
of the half-bridge. With this type of supply
arrangement, the internal 15.6V zener clamp diode
from VCC to COM will determine the steady state IC
supply voltage.

ADVANCED INFORMATION
IR2157
The heart of this controller is an oscillator which
resembles those found in many popular PWM voltage
regulator ICs. In its simplest form, this oscillator
consists of a timing resistor and capacitor connected
to ground. The voltage across the timing capacitor
CT is a sawtooth, where the rising portion of the ramp
is determined by the current in the RT pin, and the
falling portion of the ramp is determined by an external
deadtime resistor RDT. The oscillograph in Figure 4
illustrates the relationship between the oscillator
capacitor waveform and the gate driver outputs.

Figure 3: IR2157 control sequence
Figure 4
The control sequence used in the IR2157 allows
the Run Mode operating frequency of the ballast to
be higher than the ignition frequency (i.e., fstart >
fph > frun > fign). This control sequence is
recommended for lamp types where the ignition
frequency is too close to the run frequency to ensure
proper lamp striking for all production resonant LC
component tolerances (please note that it is possible
to use the IR2157 in systems where fstart > fph >
fign > frun, simply by leaving the RUN pin open).
The deadtime can be programmed by means of the
external RDT resistor, given a certain range of CT
capacitor values, using the graph shown in Figure 5.
The RT input is a voltage-controlled current source,
where the voltage is regulated to be approximately
2.0V. In order to maintain proper linearity between
the RT pin current and the CT capacitor charging
current, the value of the RT pin current should be
kept between 50µA and 500µA. The RT pin can
also be used as a feedback point for closed loop
control.
Six pins in the IC are used to control the Startup,
Preheat, Ignition Ramp, and Run modes of
operation, and to allow ballast and lamp engineers
the flexibility to optimize their designs for virtually
any lamp type.
10
ADVANCED INFORMATION
During the Startup Mode, the operating frequency is
determined by the parallel combination of RPH,
RSTART , and RT , combined with the values of
CSTART, CT and RDT , as shown in Figure 6. This
frequency is normally chosen to ensure that the
instantaneous voltage across the lamp during the
first few cycles of operation does not exceed the
strike potential of the lamp. As the voltage across
CSTART charges up to the RT pin voltage, the output
frequency exponentially decays to the preheat
frequency.

During the Preheat Mode, the operating frequency
is determined by the parallel combination of RPH
and RT , combined with the value of CT and RDT .
This frequency, along with the Preheat Time, is
normally chosen to ensure that adequate heating of
the lamp filaments occurs. Typically, a 4.5:1 ratio of

RT (K ohms)
The Preheat Time is programmed by means of the
preheat capacitor, CPH, an internal 1mA current
source, and an internal threshold on the CPH pin of
4.0V, according to the following formula:
Figure 8: fosc versus effective RT (tDEAD = 2.0 usec)
tPH = 4E6 ⋅ CPH, or
CPH = 250E- 9 ⋅ tPH
250
At the end of the Preheat Time, the internal, opendrain transistor holding the RPH pin to ground turns
off, and the voltage on this pin charges exponentially
up to the RT pin potential. During this Ignition Ramp
Mode, the output frequency exponentially decays to
a minimum value. The rate of decay of this frequency
is a function of the RPH * CPH time constant. Because
the Ignition Ramp Mode ends when the voltage on
the CPH pin reaches 5.15V, the ignition ramp is
always 1/4th as long as the preheat time.
When the CPH pin reaches 5.15V, an open-drain
transistor on the RUN pin turns on, and the external
RRUN resistor is then in parallel with the RT resistor.
The Run Mode operating frequency is therefore a
function of the parallel combination of RRUN and
RT , and this means that the operating power of the
lamp can be programmed by means of RRUN .

2V of hysteresis has been designed into the internal
comparator sensing the VDC pin, in order to account
for variations in the dc bus voltage under varying
load conditions. When the dc bus recovers, the chip
restarts from the beginning of the control sequence,
as shown in timing diagram 11 below.
The first of these protection pins senses the voltage
on the DC bus by means of an external resistor
divider and an internal comparator with hysteresis.
When power is first supplied to the IC at system
startup, 3 conditions are required before oscillation
is initiated: 1.) the voltage on the VCC pin must
exceed the rising undervoltage lockout threshold
(11.5V), 2.) the voltage at the VDC pin must exceed
5.1V, and 3.) the voltage on the SD pin must be below
approximately 1.85V. If a low dc bus condition occurs
during normal operation, or if power to the ballast is
shut off, the dc bus will collapse prior to the VCC of
the chip (assuming the VCC is derived from a charge

Lamp Presence Detection and

The second protection pin, SD, is used for both
unlatched shutdown and automatic restart functions.
The SD pin would normally be connected to an
external circuit which senses the presence of the
lamp (or lamps), as shown in Figure 12.

When the SD pin exceeds 2.0V (approximately
150mV of hysteresis is included to increase noise
immunity), signaling either a lamp fault or lamp
removal, the oscillator is disabled, both gate driver
outputs are pulled low, and the chip is put into the
micropower mode. Since a lamp fault would normally
lead to a lamp exchange, when a new lamp is
inserted into the fixture, the SD pin would be pulled
back to near the ground potential. Under these

and under-resonance conditions, there is a negativegoing threshold of 0.2V which is enabled at the onset
of the run mode. The sensing of this 0.2V threshold
is synchronized with the falling edge of the LO output.
Thus, for a lamp removal and replacement, the ballast
automatically restarts the lamp in the proper manner,
maximizing lamp life and minimizing stress on the
power MOSFETs or IGBTs. The SD pin contains an
internal 7.5V zener diode clamp, thereby reducing
the number of external components required.
Figures 15, 16 and 17 are oscillographs of fault
conditions. Figure 15 shows a failure of the lamp to
strike, Figure 16 shows a hard switching condition
and Figure 17 shows an under-current condition.
Half-Bridge Current Sensing and
Protection
The third pin used for protection is the CS pin, which
is normally connected to a resistor in the source of
the lower power MOSFET, as shown in Figure 14.
The CS pin is used to sense fault conditions such a
failure of a lamp to strike, over-current during normal
operation, hard switching, no load, and operation
below resonance. If any one of these conditions is
sensed, the fault latch is set, the oscillator is disabled,
the gate driver outputs go low, and the chip is put
into the micropower mode. The CS pin performs its
sensing functions on a cycle-by-cycle basis in order
to maximize ballast reliability. failure-to-strike, and
For the over-current, hard switching fault conditions,

the end of the preheat time. For the under-current

ADVANCED INFORMATION
Recovery from such a fault condition is accomplished
by cycling either SD pin or the VCC pin. When a
lamp is removed, the SD pin goes high, the fault
latch is reset, and the chip is held off in an unlatched
state. Lamp replacement causes the SD pin to go
low again, reinitiating the startup sequence. The
fault latch can also be reset by the undervoltage
lockout signal, if VCC falls below the lower
undervoltage threshold.
Bootstrap Supply Considerations
Power is normally supplied to the high-side circuitry
by means of a simple charge pump from VCC, as
shown in Figure 19 below.

Figure 19: Typical bootstrap supply connection
with VCC charge pump from half-bridge output
(shaded area)
A high voltage, fast recovery diode DBOOT (the socalled bootstrap diode) is connected between VCC
(anode) and VB (cathode), and a capacitor CBOOT
(the so-called bootstrap capacitor) is connected
between the VB and VS pins. During half-bridge
switching, when MOSFET Q2 is on and Q1 is off, the
bootstrap capacitor CBOOT is charged from the VCC
decoupling capacitor, through the bootstrap diode
DBOOT, and through Q2. Alternately, when Q2 is off
and Q1 is on, the bootstrap diode is reverse-biased,

ADVANCED INFORMATION
and the bootstrap capacitor (which ‘floats’ on the
source of the upper power MOSFET) serves as the
power supply to the upper gate driver CMOS circuitry.
Since the quiescent current in this CMOS circuitry is
very low (typically 45mA in the on-state), the majority
of the drop in the VBS voltage when Q1 is on occurs
due to the transfer of charge from the bootstrap
capacitor to the gate of the power MOSFET.

VB should be bypassed to VS as close as possible
to the pins of the IC with a low ESR/ESL capacitor. A
PCB layout example is shown in figure 20. A rule of
thumb for the value of this capacitor is to keep its
minimum value at least 50 times the value of the total
input capacitance (Ciss) of the MOSFET or IGBT being
driven. In addition, the VS pin should be connected
directly to the high side power MOSFET source.
