Compact Fluorescent Electronic Dimming
Ballast Controller
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ML4835 is a complete solution for a dimmable or a
non-dimmable, high power factor, high efficiency
electronic ballast especially tailored for a compact
fluorescent lamp (CFL). The Bi-CMOS ML4835 contains
controllers for “boost” type power factor correction as
well as for a dimming ballast with end-of-lamp life
detection.
■
Power detect for end-of-lamp-life detection
■
Low distortion , high efficiency continuous boost, peak
or average current sensing PFC section
■
Leading- and trailing-edge synchronization between
PFC and ballast
■
One to one frequency operation between PFC and
ballast
■
Programmable start scenario for rapid/instant start lamps
■
Triple frequency control network for dimming or
starting to handle various lamp sizes
■
Programmable restart for lamp out condition to reduce
ballast heating.
■
Internal over-temperature shutdown
■
PFC over-voltage comparator eliminates output
“runaway” due to load removal
■
Low start-up current; < 0.55mA
The PFC circuits uses a new , simple PFC topology which
requires only one loop for compensation. In addition,
this PFC can be used with either peak- or average-current
mode. This system produces a power factor of better than
0.99 with low input current THD.
The ballast controller section provides for programmable
starting sequence with individual adjustable preheat and
lamp out-of-socket interrupt times. The ML4835 provides
a shut down for both PFC and ballast controllers in the
event of end-of-life for the CFL.

ML4835
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4835 consists of peak or average current
controlled continuous boost power factor front end section
with a flexible ballast control section. Start-up and lampout retry timing are controlled by the selection of external
timing components, allowing for control of a wide variety
of different lamp types. The ballast section controls the
lamp power using frequency modulation (FM) with
additional programmability provided to adjust the VCO
frequency range. This allows for the IC to be used with a
variety of different output networks. Figure 1 depicts a
detailed block diagram of ML4835.
• End-of-lamp life detection to detect EOL and shut-off
lamps; See End Of Life Section.
• Thermal shutdown for temperature sensing extremes;
See IC Bias, Under-Voltage Lockout and Thermal
Shutdown Section.
• Relamping starting with anti-flash for programmable
restart for lamp out conditions while minimizing
“flashing” when powering from full power to dimming
levels; See Starting, Re-Start, Preheat and Interrupt
Section
The ML4835 provides several safety features. See the
corresponding sections for more details:

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(Continued)
The ML4835 implements a triple frequency operation
scheme: programmable three-frequency sequence for preheat, ignition, and dimming, that extends lamp life,
simplifies lamp network design, and starts lamps at any
dimming level without flashing. This addresses the need
for a high-Q network for starting sequence and low-Q
network for operation, minimizing parasitic losses and
improving overall power efficiency. The values for the
pre-heat, start, operation, and restart can be programmed
or selected (Figure 2).
POWER FACTOR SECTION
The ML4835 power factor section is a peak or average
current sensing boost mode PFC control circuit in which
only voltage loop compensation is needed. It is simpler
than a conventional average current control method. It
consists of a voltage error amplifier, a current sense
amplifier (no compensation is needed), an integrator, a
comparator, and a logic control block. In the boost
topology, power factor correction is achieved by sensing
the output voltage and the current flowing through the
current sense resistor. Duty cycle control is achieved by
comparing the integrated voltage signal of the error
amplifier and the voltage across RSENSE. The duty cycle
control timing is shown in Figure 3.

OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION AND INHIBIT
The OVP pin serves to protect the power circuit from
being subjected to excessive voltages if the load should
change suddenly (lamp removal). A divider from the high
voltage DC bus sets the OVP trip level. When the voltage
on PVFB/OVP exceeds 2.75V, the PFC transistor are
inhibited. The ballast section will continue to operate.

Figure 4 shows the output configuration for the
operational transconductance amplifiers.
A DC path to ground or VCC at the output of the
transconductance amplifiers will introduce an offset error.
The magnitude of the offset voltage that will appear at the
input is given by VOS = io/gm. For an io of 1µA and a gm
of 0.05 µW the input referred offset will be 20mV.
Capacitor C1 as shown in Figure 5 is used to block the
DC current to minimize the adverse effect of offsets.
Slew rate enhancement is incorporated into all of the
operational transconductance amplifiers in the ML4835.
This improves the recovery of the circuit in response to
power up and transient conditions. The response to large
signals will be somewhat non-linear as the
transconductance amplifiers change from their low to
high transconductance mode, as illustrated in Figure 7.
OSCILLATOR
The VCO frequency ranges are controlled by the output
of the LFB amplifier (RSET). As lamp current decreases,
LFB OUT falls in voltage, causing the CT charging current
to increase, thereby causing the oscillator frequency to
increase. Since the ballast output network attenuates high
frequencies, the power to the lamp will be decreased. The
oscillator frequency is determined by the following
equations:
FOSC =
1
t CHG + t DIS
and
t CHG = R T C T In

The oscillator's start frequency can be expressed by:
END OF LAMP LIFE
At the end of a lamp’s life when the emissive material is
depleted, the arc current is rectified and high voltage
occurs across the lamp near the depleted cathode. The
ballast acts as a constant current source so power is
dissipated near the depleted cathode which can lead to
arcing and bulb cracking. Compact fluorescent lamps are
more prone to cracking or shattering because their small
diameter can’t dissipate as much heat as the larger linear
lamps. Compact fluorescents also present more of a
safety hazard since they are usually used in downlighting
systems without reflector covers.

0.51 ´ R T R T 2 ´ C T
(5a)
Both equations assume that tCHG >> tDIS.
When LFB OUT is high, ICHG = 0 and the minimum
frequency occurs. The charging current varies according
to two control inputs to the oscillator:
1. The output of the preheat timer
2. The voltage at LFB OUT (lamp feedback amplifier
output)
EOL and the ML4835
In preheat condition, charging current is fixed at
The ML4835 uses a circuit that creates a DC voltage
representative of the power supplied to the lamps through
the inverter. This voltage is used by the ML4835 to latch
off the ballast when it exceeds an internal threshold. An
external resistor can be used as the “EOL latch resistor” to
set the power level trip point, as shown in by R9 in Figure
12. See Micro Linear ML4835 User Guide and
applications notes for more details. Figure 4 illustrates a
simplified model of ML4835 EOL functionality.
BALLAST OUTPUT SECTION
The IC controls output power to the lamps via frequency
modulation with non-overlapping conduction. This means
that both ballast output drivers will be low during the

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(Continued)
Highest lamp power, and lowest output frequency are
attained when voltage at LFB OUT is at its maximum
output voltage (VOH).
In this condition, the minimum operating frequency of the
ballast is set per equation 5 above.
For the IC to be used effectively in dimming ballasts with
higher Q output networks a larger CT value and lower RT
value can be used, to yield a smaller frequency excursion
over the control range (voltage at LFB OUT). The
discharge current is set to 5.5mA.

IC BIAS, UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT AND
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The IC includes a shunt clamp which will limit the
voltage at VCC to 15V (VCCZ). The IC should be fed with
a current limited source, typically derived from the
ballast transformer auxiliary winding. When VCC is below
VCCZ – 1.1V, the IC draws less than 0.55mA of quiescent
current and the outputs are off. This allows the IC to start
using a “bleed resistor” from the rectified AC line.
To help reduce ballast cost, the ML4835 includes a
temperature sensor which will inhibit ballast operation if
the IC’s junction temperature exceeds 130°C. In order to
use this sensor in lieu of an external sensor, care should
be taken when placing the IC to ensure that it is sensing
temperature at the physically appropriate point in the
ballast. The ML4835’s die temperature can be estimated
with the following equation:
TJ @ TA + (PD + 65° C / W)
(10)
STARTING, RE-START, PREHEAT AND INTERRUPT
The circuit in Figure 10 controls the lamp starting
scenarios: Filament preheat and lamp out interrupt. CX is
charged with a current of IR(SET)/4 and discharged through
RX. The voltage at CX is initialized to 0.7V (VBE) at power
up. The time for CX to rise to 4.75V is the filament preheat
time. During that time, the oscillator charging current
(ICHG) is 2.5/RSET. This will produce a high frequency for
filament preheat, but will not produce sufficient voltage
to ignite the lamp or cause significant glow current.
After cathode heating, the inverter frequency drops to
FSTART causing a high voltage to appear to ignite the
lamp. If lamp current is not detected when the lamp is
supposed to have ignited, the CX charging current is shut
off and the inverter is inhibited until CX is discharged by
RX to the 1.25V threshold. Shutting off the inverter in this
manner prevents the inverter from generating excessive
heat when the lamp fails to strike or is out of socket.
Typically this time is set to be fairly long by choosing a
large value of RX.
LFB OUT is ignored by the oscillator until INTERRUPT is
above 1.25V The CX pin is clamped to about 7.5V.
Care should also be taken not to turn on the VCCZ clamp
so as not to dissipate excessive power in the IC. This will
cause the temp sensor to become active at a lower
ambient temperature.
A summary of the operating frequencies in the various
operating modes is shown below.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The ML4835 can be used for a variety of lamp types:
T4 or compact fluorescent lamps
IEC T8 (linear lamps)
T5 linear lamps
T12 linear lamps
The ML4835 can also be used for dimming applications.
For example, 20:1 dimming can be achieved using the
ML4835 with external dimming units. The applications
schematics shown in Figures 12, 13, and 14 are examples
of the various uses of the ML4835.
