Parameter
Description
IR21592
Description: The IR21592/IR21593 are complete dimming ballast controllers and 600V
half-bridge drivers all in one IC. The architecture includes phase control for transformer-less lamp power sensing and regulation which minimizes changes needed to
adapt non-dimming ballasts for dimming. Externally programmable features such as
preheat time and current, ignition-to-dim time, and a complete dimming interface with
minimum and maximum settings provide a high degree of flexibility for the ballast
design engineer. Protection from failure of a lamp to strike, filament failures, 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 voltagecontrolled oscillator with externally programmable minimum frequency. The IR21592/
IR21593 are 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, VCLAMP.
The MAX lead is a voltage-controlled current source. For optimum dim interface current mirror performance,
this current should be kept between 0 and 750µA.

During preheat and ignition (Figure 2), the circuit
is a high-Q series LC with a strong input current to
input voltage phase inversion from +90 to -90
degrees at the resonance frequency. For operating
frequencies slightly above resonance and higher,
the phase is fixed at -90 degrees for the duration
of preheat and ignition. During dimming, the circuit
is an L in series with a parallel R and C, with a
weak phase inversion at high lamp power and a
strong phase inversion at low lamp power.
In the time domain (Figure 3), the input current is
shifted -90 degrees from the input half-bridge
voltage during preheat and ignition, and
somewhere between 0 and -90 degrees after
ignition during running. Zero phase-shift
corresponds to maximum power.

The start-up capacitor (C1) is charged by current
through resistor (R1) minus the start-up current
drawn by the IC. This resistor is typically chosen
to provide 2X the maximum start-up current at
low line to guarantee start-up under the worst case
condition. Once the capacitor voltage reaches the
start-up threshold, and, the voltage on pin VDC is
above 5.1V (see Brown-out Protection), the IC
turns on and HO and LO begin to oscillate. The
capacitor begins to discharge due to the increase
in IC operating current (Figure 6).

Figure 6, Start-up capacitor (C1) voltage.
During the discharge cycle, the rectified current
from the charge pump charges the capacitor above
the minimum operating voltage of the device and
the charge pump and internal 15.6V zener clamp
of the IC take over as the supply voltage. The
start-up capacitor and snubber capacitor must be
selected such that worst case IC conditions are
satisfied. A bootstrap diode (D3) and supply
capacitor (C3) comprise the supply voltage for
the high side driver circuitry. To guarantee that
the high-side supply is charged up before the first
pulse on pin HO, the first pulse from the output
drivers comes from the LO pin. During UVLO,
the high and low side driver outputs are low, pin
VCO is pulled-up internally to 5V resetting the
starting frequency to the maximum, and pin CPH
is short-circuited internally to COM resetting the
preheat time.

Brown-out Protection

In addition to the voltage on VCC being above
the start-up threshold, pin VDC must also be
above 5.1V for HO and LO to begin oscillating. A
voltage divider (R3,RVDC) from the rectified AC
line connected to pin VDC measures the rectified
AC line input voltage to the ballast and programs
the turn-on and turn-off line voltages. A filter
capacitor (CVDC) is also connected to pin VDC
that must be chosen such that the ripple is low
enough and the lower turn-off threshold of 3V is
not crossed during normal line conditions. This
detection is necessary due to the possibility of
the lamp extinguishing during low-line conditions
before the IC is properly reset. Should a brownout occur, the DC bus can drop to a level below
the minimum required for the tank circuit to
maintain the necessary lamp voltage. This
detection will insure a clean turn-off before the
DC bus drops too low and properly resets the
IC to the preheat mode when the line returns.
Preheat (PH)
The IR21592/IR21593 enters preheat mode
when VCC exceeds the UVLO+ threshold and
VDC exceeds 5.1V. HO and LO begin to
oscillate at the maximum operating frequency
with 50% duty cycle and at the internally set
dead-time of 2us (IR21592) or 1µs (IR21593). Pin
CPH is disconnected from COM and an internal
1uA current source (Figure 7) charges the external
timing capacitor on CPH linearly.

Figure 7, IR21592/IR21593 preheat circuitry.
An internal 1uA current source slowly discharges
the external capacitor on pin VCO and the voltage
on pin VCO begins to decrease. This decreases
the frequency, which, for operating frequencies
above resonance, increases the load current.
When the peak voltage measured on pin CS,
produced by a portion of the load current flowing
through an external sense resistor (RCS), exceeds
the voltage level on pin IPH, a 60uA internal
current source is connected to pin VCO and the
capacitor charges (Figure 8). This forces the
frequency to increase and the load current to
decrease. When the voltage on pin CS decreases
below the voltge on pin IPH, the 60uA current
source is disconnected and the frequency
decreases again.

Figure 8, Peak load current regulation timing diagram.
This feedback keeps the peak preheat current
regulated to the user-programmable setting on pin
IPH for the duration of the preheat time. An
internal current source connected to an external
resistor on pin IPH sets a voltage reference for
the peak pre-heat current. The pre-heat time
continues until the voltage on pin CPH exceeds
5V.
Ignition (IGN)
The IR21592/IR21593 enters ignition mode when
the voltage on pin CPH exceeds 5V. The peak
current regulation reference voltage is
disconnected from the user-programmable
setting on pin IPH and is connected to a higher
internal threshold of 1.6V (Figure 9).
www.irf.com
The ignition ramp is then initiated as the
capacitor on pin VCO discharges linearly
through an internal 1uA current source. The
frequency decreases linearly towards the
resonance frequency of the high-Q ballast output
stage, causing the lamp voltage and load current
to increase (Figure 10). The frequency
continues to decrease until the lamp ignites or
the current limit of the IR21592/IR21593 is
reached. If the current limit is reached, the
IR21592/IR21593 enters FAULT mode. The 1.6V
threshold together with the external current
sensing resistor on pin CS determine the
maximum allowable peak ignition current (and
therefore peak ignition voltage) of the ballast
output stage. The peak ignition current must not
exceed the maximum allowable current ratings
of the output stage MOSFETs or IGBTs, and,
the resonant inductor must not saturate at
any time.
To prevent a "flash" across the lamp during
ignition at low dim settings, an ignition detection
17

circuit measures the voltage at the CS pin and
compares it against the voltage at the IPH pin.
During the rising ignition ramp, the voltage at
the IPH pin is increased to 20% above its value
load current is regulated against the user control
input on pin DIM. To control the rate at which the
dim setting changes from maximum brightness
to the user setting (IGN-TO-DIM time, Figure 11),

during preheat mode. When the voltage on the
CS pin exceeds this voltage, the voltage on the
IPH pin is decreased to VIPH Pre-Heat +10% and
the ignition detection circuit is then active (See
Figure 10). When the lamp ignites, the voltage on
the CS pin will then fall below the voltage on the
IPH pin and the IC enters DIM Mode and the phase
control loop is closed. In order for the ignition
detection circuit to function properly and for the IC
to enter DIM mode, the voltage on the CS pin must
first rise above VIPH Pre-Heat + 20% during the
ignition ramp to activate the circuit, and then
decrease below VIPH Pre-Heat +10% when the lamp
ignites.
pin DIM is connected internally to pin CPH when
the IR21592/IR21593 enters DIM mode. The
resistor on pin DIM (RDIM) discharges the
capacitor on pin CPH down to the user dim
setting. The resistor can be selected for a fast
time constant to minimize the amount of flash
visible over the lamp just after ignition, or, a
long time constant such that the brightness
ramps down smoothly to the user setting. Should
the ignition-to-dim time be too fast, however, the
loop can respond faster than the ionization
constant of the lamp (milliseconds) causing the
VCO to over-shoot. This can result in a
frequency that is higher than the minimum
brightness frequency and can extinguish the
lamp. The capacitor on pin CPH serves multiple
functions by setting the preheat time, the travel
rate just after ignition (together with resistor
RDIM), and, serving as a filter capacitor on pin

To regulate lamp power, the error between the

current forces the VCO to steer the frequency in
the proper direction, as determined by the transfer
function of the output stage, such that the error is
forced to zero. An internal 15uA current source is
connected to pin VCO during dimming mode
(Figure 12) to discharge the VCO capacitor and
decrease the frequency towards lock.

Figure 13, Phase control timing diagram.
The IR21592/IR21593 includes a dimming
interface for analog lamp power control. The
DIM pin input requires a voltage in the range of
0.5 to 5VDC, with 5V corresponding to minimum
phase shift (maximum lamp power). The output
of the dim interface is the voltage on pin MIN,
which is compared with the internal timing
capacitor (CT) voltage to produce a frequencyindependent digital reference phase (Figure 14).
Figure 12, IR21592/IR21593 dimming circuitry.
Once lock is achieved, the phase detector (PDET)
outputs short pulses to an open-drain PMOS that
charges the VCO capacitor through an internal
resistor (RFB) each time an error pulse occurs
(Figure 13). This action "nudges" the integrator at
the input of the VCO to keep the phase of the
output stage current exactly locked in phase with
the reference.

The charging time of CT from 1V to 5.1V
determines the on-time of output gate drivers HO
and LO and corresponds to -180 degrees of
possible phase shift in load current (minus
deadtime). For the 0 to -90 degree dim range, the
voltage on pin MIN is bounded between 1V and
3V using pins MIN and MAX. An external resistor
on pin MAX programs the minimum phase shift
reference (maximum lamp power) corresponding
to 5V on pin DIM, and an external resistor on pin
MIN sets the maximum phase shift (minimum
lamp power) corresponding to 0.5V on pin DIM.
Current Sensing
During dimming, the current sensing circuitry
(Figure 15) detects over-current which can occur
during hard-switching (see Fault section), and
zero-crossing to measure the phase of the total
load current. To reject any switching noise which
can occur at the turn-on of the low-side MOSFET
or IGBT, a digital current sense blanking circuit

The internal blank time reduces the dimming range

set a safe margin away from the blank time. A
series resistor (R1) is required to limit the amount
of current flowing out of pin CS when the voltage
across RCS goes below -0.7V. A filter capacitor
