Description
The FL controller ICB2FL03G is designed to control fluorescent lamp ballast, including a discontinuous mode
Power Factor Correction (PFC), lamp inverter control and a high-voltage level shift half-bridge driver.
The control concept covers requirements for T5 lamp ballasts for single and multi-lamp designs (series connection
supported). ICB2FL03G is based on the 2nd-generation FL controller technology, is easy to use and simple to

Pin Functionality
LSGD (low-side gate drive, pin 1)
The gate of the low-side MOSFET in a half-bridge inverter topology is controlled by this pin. There is an active
L-level during UVLO (under voltage lockout) and limitation of the max H-level at 11.0 V during normal operation.
In order to turn on the MOSFET softly (with a reduced diDRAIN/dt); the gate voltage typically rises within 245 ns from
L-level to H-level. The fall time of the gate voltage is less than 50 ns in order to turn off quickly. This measure
produces different switching speeds during turn-on and turn-off as it is usually achieved with a diode parallel to a
resistor in the gate drive loop. It is recommended to use a resistor of typically 10 Ω between drive pin and gate in
order to avoid oscillations and in order to shift the power dissipation of discharging the gate capacitance into this
resistor. The dead time between the LSGD signal and HSGD signal is self-adapting between 1.05 μs and 2.1 μs.
LSCS (low-side current sense, pin 2)
This pin is directly connected to the shunt resistor which is located between the source terminal of the low-side
MOSFET of the inverter and ground.
Internal clamping structures and filtering measures allow for sensing the source current of the low-side inverter
MOSFET without additional filter components.
The first threshold is 0.8 V. If this threshold is exceeded for longer than 500 ns during preheat or run mode, an
inverter overcurrent is detected and causes a latched shutdown of the IC. The ignition control is activated if the
sensed slope at the LSCS pin reaches typically 205 mV/μs ± 25 mV/μs and exceeds the 0.8 V threshold. This
stops the frequency decrease and waits for ignition. The ignition control is now continuously monitored by the
LSCS PIN. The ignition control is designed to handle choke operation in saturation during ignition in order to
reduce the choke size.
If the sensed current signal exceeds a second threshold of 1.6 V for longer than 500 ns during start-up, soft start,
ignition mode and pre-run, the IC changes over into latched shutdown.
There are further thresholds active at this pin during run mode that detect capacitive mode operation. An initial
threshold at 50 mV needs to sense a positive current during the second 50 % on-time of the low-side MOSFET for
proper operation (cap. load 1). A second threshold of -50mV senses the current before the high-side MOSFET is
turned on. A voltage level below this threshold indicates faulty operation (cap. load 2). Finally a third threshold at
2.0 V senses even short overcurrent during turn-on of the high-side MOSFET, typical for reverse recovery currents
of a diode (cap. load 2). If any of these three comparator thresholds indicates incorrect operating conditions for
longer than 620 μs (cap. load 2) or 2500 ms (cap. load 1) in run mode, the IC turns off the gates and changes into
fault mode due to detected capacitive mode operation (non-zero voltage switching).
The threshold of -50 mV is also used to adjust the dead time between turn-off and turn-on of the half-bridge drivers
in a range of 1.05 μs to 2.1 μs during all operating modes.
Vcc (supply voltage, pin 3)
This pin provides the power supply of the ground related section of the IC. There is a turn-on threshold at 14.0 V
and an UVLO threshold at 10.6 V. The upper supply voltage level is 17.5 V. There is an internal zener diode
clamping VCC at 16.3 V (at IVCC = 2 mA typically). The maximum zener current is internally limited to 5 mA. An
external zener diode is required for higher current levels. Current consumption during UVLO and during fault mode
is less than 170 μA. A ceramic capacitor close to the supply and GND pin is required in order to act as a lowimpedance power source for gate drive and logic signal currents. In order to skip preheating after short
interruptions to the mains supply it is necessary to feed the start-up current (160 μA) from the bus voltage. Note:
for external VCC supply, see notes in the flowchart (Section 3.3).

ICB2FL03G
Controller for Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts
Pin Configuration and Functionality
GND (ground, pin 4)
This pin is connected to ground and represents the ground level of the IC for supply voltage, gate drive and sense
signals.
PFCGD (PFC gate drive, pin 5)
This pin controls the gate of the MOSFET in the PFC preconverter designed in boost topology. There is an active
L-level during UVLO and limitation of the max H-level at 11.0 V during normal operation. In order to turn on the
MOSFET softly (with a reduced diDRAIN/dt), the gate drive voltage rises within 245 ns from L-level to H-level. The
fall time of the gate voltage is less than 50 ns in order to turn off quickly.
A resistor of typically 10 Ω between the drive pin and gate is recommended in order to avoid oscillations and in
order to shift the power dissipation of discharging the gate capacitance into this resistor.
The PFC section of the IC controls a boost converter as a PFC preconverter in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM). Control usually starts with gate drive pulses with a fixed on-time of typically 4.0 μs at VACIN = 230 V,
increasing up to 24 μs and with an off-time of 47 μs. As soon as sufficient zero current detector (ZCD) signals are
available, the operation mode changes from fixed frequency operation to operation with variable frequency. The
PFC works in critical conduction mode operation (CritCM) when rated and / or medium load conditions are present.
This means triangular-shaped currents in the boost converter choke without gaps and variable operating
frequency. During low loads (detected by an internal compensator) operation is in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM) – i.e., triangular-shaped currents in the boost converter choke with gaps when reaching the zero current
level and variable operating frequency in order to avoid steps in the consumed line current.
PFCCS (PFC current sense, pin 6)
The voltage drop across a shunt resistor located between the source of the PFC MOSFET and GND is sensed
with this pin. If the level exceeds a threshold of 1.0 V for longer than 200 ns, the PFC gate drive is turned off as
long as the zero current detector (ZCD) enables a new cycle. If no ZCD signal is available within 52 μs after turn-off
of the PFC gate drive, a new cycle is initiated from an internal start-up timer.
PFCZCD (PFC zero current detector, pin 7)
This pin senses the point of time when the current through boost inductor becomes zero during off-time of the PFC
MOSFET in order to initiate a new cycle.
The moment of interest appears when the voltage of the separate ZCD winding changes from the positive to
negative level, which represents a voltage of zero at the inductor windings and therefore the end of current flow
from the lower input voltage level to the higher output voltage level. There is a threshold with hysteresis – for
increasing level 1.5 V, for decreasing level 0.5 V – which detects the change in inductor voltage.
A resistor, connected between ZCD winding and pin 7, limits the sink and source current of the sense pin when
the voltage of the ZCD winding exceeds the internal clamping levels (6.3 V and -2.9 V typically @ 5 mA) of the IC.
If the sensed voltage level of the ZCD winding is not sufficient (e.g. during start-up), an internal start-up timer will
initiate a new cycle every 52 μs after turn-off of the PFC gate drive. The source current flowing out of this pin during
the on-time of the PFC-MOSFET indicates the voltage level of the AC supply voltage. During low input voltage
levels the on-time of the PFC-MOSFET is increased in order to minimize gaps in the line current during zero
crossing of the line voltage and improve the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the line current. Optimization of
the THD is possible by trimming of the resistor between this pin and the ZCD winding.
PFCVS (PFC voltage sense, pin 8)
The intermediate circuit voltage (bus voltage) at the smoothing capacitor is sensed by a resistive divider at this
pin. The internal reference voltage for rated bus voltage is 2.5 V. There are further thresholds at 0.3125 V (12.5 %
of the rated bus voltage) for the detection of open control loop, at 1.875 V (75 % of the rated bus voltage) for the
detection of undervoltage, and at 2.725 V (109 % of the rated bus voltage) for the detection of overvoltage. The

overvoltage threshold operates with a hysteresis of 100 mV (4 % of the rated bus voltage). For the detection of
successful start-up, the bus voltage is sensed at 95 % (2.375 V). It is recommended to use a small capacitor
between this pin and GND as a spike suppression filter.
In run mode, a PFC overvoltage stops the PFC gate drive within 5 μs. As soon as the bus voltage is less than
105 % of the rated level, the gate drives are enabled again. If the overvoltage lasts for longer than 625 ms, inverter
overvoltage is detected and the inverter turns off the gate drives also. This causes powerdown and powerup when
VBUS < 109 %.
A bus undervoltage (VBUS > 75 %) or inverter overvoltage during run mode is handled as a fault U. In this situation
the IC changes into powerdown mode and generates a delay of 100 ms by an internal timer. Then startup
conditions are checked and if valid, a further startup is initiated. If startup conditions are not valid, a further delay
of 100 ms is generated.
This procedure is repeated a maximum of seven times. If startup is successful within these seven cycles, the
situation is interpreted as a short interruption of the mains supply and the preheating is skipped. Any further startup
attempt is initiated to include the preheating.
RFRUN (set R for run frequency, pin 9)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets the operating frequency of the inverter during run mode. The typical run
frequency range is 20 kHz to 120 kHz. The set resistor R_RFRUN can be calculated, based on the run frequency
fRUN according to the equation:
RFRUN
5 ⋅ 108 ΩHz
=
f RUN
RFPH (set R for preheat frequency, pin 10)
A resistor from this pin to ground, together with the resistor at pin 9, sets the operating frequency of the inverter
during preheating mode. The typical preheating frequency range is from the run frequency (as a minimum) to
150 kHz. The set resistor R_RFPH can be calculated, based on the preheating frequency fPH and the resistor
RRFRUN according to the equation:
RRFPH =

RTPH (set R for preheating time, pin 11)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets the preheating time of the inverter during preheating mode. A set resistor
range from zero to 25 kΩ corresponds to a range of preheating times from zero to 2500 ms subdivided into 127
steps, as expressed below:

LVS (lamp voltage sense, pin 12)
Before startup this pin senses a current fed from the rectified line voltage via resistors through the high-side
filaments of the lamp for detection of an inserted lamp.

V1.1, 2013-08-14
ICB2FL03G
Controller for Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts
Pin Configuration and Functionality
The sensed current fed into the LVS pin has to exceed 12 μA typically at a voltage level of 6.0 V at the LVS pin.
The reaction on the high side filament detection is mirrored at the RES pin (see pin 13). In addition, the detection
of available mains supply after an interruption is sensed by this pin. Together with the RES pin, the IC can monitor
the lamp removal of one lamp path (series connection of lamps is possible). If the functionality of this pin is not
required, it can be disabled by connecting this pin to ground.
During run mode the lamp voltage is monitored with this pin by sensing a current proportional to the lamp voltage
via resistors. An overload is indicated by an excessive lamp voltage. If the peak-to-peak lamp voltage causes a
peak-to-peak current above a threshold of 210 μAPP for longer than 620 μs, a fault EOL1 (end-of-life) is assumed.
If the DC current at the LVS pin exceeds a threshold of ±42 μA for longer than 2500 ms, a fault EOL2 (rectifier
effect) is assumed. The levels of AC sense current and DC sense current can be set separately by an external RC
network. Note that in the case of deactivation of the LVS PIN, reactivation starts when the voltage at the LVS pin
exceeds VLVSEnable1 in RUN Mode.
RES (restart, pin 13)
A source current flowing out of this pin via resistor and filament to ground monitors the existence of the low-side
filament of the fluorescent lamp for restart after lamp removal. A capacitor from this pin directly to ground
eliminates a superimposed AC voltage that is generated as a voltage drop across the low-side filament. With a
second sense resistor, the filament of a parallel lamp can be included in the lamp removal sensing. Note that
during startup the chip supply voltage Vcc has to be below 14.0 V before VRES reaches the filament detection level.
During typical start-up with connected filaments of the lamp a current source IRES3 (-21.3 μA) is active as long as
VCC > 10.6 V and VRES < VRES1 (1.6 V). An open low-side filament is detected when VRES > VRES1. Such a condition
will prevent the start-up of the IC. In addition, the comparator threshold is set to VRES2 (1.3 V) and the current
source changes to IRES4 (-17.7 μA). The system is then waiting for a voltage level lower than VRES2 at the RES pin
to indicate a connected low-side filament, which will enable the start-up of the IC.
An open high-side filament is detected when there is no sink current ILVSSINK (< 12 μA typ.) into the LVS pin before
the VCC start-up threshold is reached. Under these conditions the current source at the RES pin is IRES1 (-42.6 μA)
as long as VCC > 10.6 V and VRES < VRES1 (1.6 V) and the current source is IRES2 (-35.4 μA) when the threshold
has changed to VRES2 (1.3 V). In this way, the detection of the high-side filament is mirrored at the levels on the
RES pin.
There is a further threshold of 3.2 V active at the RES pin during run mode. If the voltage level rises above this
threshold for longer than 620 μs, the IC changes over into latched fault mode.
In any case of fault detection with different reaction times the IC turns off the gate drives and changes into
powerdown mode with a current consumption of 170 μA max. An internal timer generates a delay time of 200 ms
before start-up conditions are checked again. As soon as start-up conditions are valid, a second start-up attempt
is initiated. If this second attempt fails, the IC remains in latched fault mode until a reset is generated by UVLO or
lamp removal. The RES PIN can be deactivated by setting the PIN to GND (durable).
HSGND (high-side ground, pin 14)
This pin is connected to the source terminal of the high-side MOSFET, which is also the node of the high-side and
low-side MOSFET. This pin represents the floating ground level of the high-side driver and the high-side supply.
HSVCC (high-side supply voltage, pin 15)
This pin provides the power supply of the high-side ground-related section of the IC. An external capacitor between
pins 14 and 15 acts like a floating battery, which has to be recharged cycle by cycle via the high-voltage diode
from low-side supply voltage during on-time of the low-side MOSFET. There is a UVLO threshold with hysteresis
that enables the high-side section at 10.4 V and disables it at 8.6 V.

The gate of the high-side MOSFET in a half-bridge inverter topology is controlled by this pin. There is an active

characteristics are the same as described for LSGD (pin 1). It is recommended to use a resistor of about 10 Ω
between the drive pin and gate in order to avoid oscillations and in order to shift the power dissipation of
discharging the gate capacitance into this resistor. The dead time between LSGD signal and HSGD signals is

Normal Startup
This section describes the basic operation flow (8 phases) from the UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) into run mode
without any error detection. For detailed information see Section 2.2.1 and Section 2.2.2. Figure 4 shows the 8
different phases during a typical start from UVLO (phase 1, Figure 4) to run mode (phase 8, Figure 4) and then
into normal operation (no failure detected).
If the AC line input is switched ON, the VCC voltage rises to the UVLO threshold VCC = 10.6 V (no IC activity during
UVLO). If VCC exceeds the first threshold of VCC = 10.6 V, the IC starts the first level of detection activity, the high
and low side filament detection during the start-up hysteresis (phase 2, Figure 4).

Typical Startup Procedure in Run Mode (in Normal Operation)
Followed at the end of the start-up hysteresis (phase 2, Figure 4) VCC > 14.0 V and before phase 3 is active, a
second level of detection activity senses for 130 μs (propagation delay of the IC) whether the bus voltage is
between 12.5 % and 105 %. If the previous bus voltage conditions are fulfilled and the filaments are detected, the
IC starts the operation with an internally fixed startup frequency of typically 135 kHz (all gates are active). If the
bus voltage reaches a level of 95 % of the rated bus voltage within 80 ms at the latest (phase 3, Figure 4), the IC
enters the soft start phase. During soft start (phase 4 , Figure 4), the start-up frequency shifts from 135 kHz down
to the set preheating frequency (Section 2.2.2). In the soft start phase, the lamp voltage rises and the chip supply
voltage reaches its working level from 10.6 V < VCC < 17.5 V. After the soft start has finished, the IC enters the
preheating mode (phase 5, Figure 4) for preheating the filaments (adjustable time) in order to extend the life cycle
of the FL filaments. On finishing preheating, the controller starts ignition (phase 6, Figure 4). During the ignition
phase, the frequency decreases from the set preheating frequency down to the set operation frequency
(adjustable, see Section 2.2.2). If ignition is successful, the IC enters the pre-run mode (phase 7, Figure 4).
This mode is provided in order to prevent a malfunction of the IC due to an unstable system – e.g., the lamp
parameters are not in a steady state condition. After finishing the 625 ms pre-run phase, the IC switches over to
the run mode (phase 8, Figure 4) with complete monitoring.

Operating Levels from UVLO to Soft Start
This section describes the operating flow from phase 1 (UVLO) to phase 4 (soft start) in detail. The control of the
ballast is able to start the operation within less than 100 ms (IC in active mode). This is achieved by a small startup capacitor (about 1 μF C12 and C13 – fed by start-up resistors R11 and R12 in Figure 3) and the low current
consumption during the UVLO (IVCC = 130 μA – phase 1, Figure 5) and start-up hysteresis (IVCC = 160 μA – defines
the start-up resistors – phase 2, Figure 5) phases. The chip supply stage of the IC is protected against overvoltage
via an internal Zener clamping network, which clamps the voltage at 16.3 V and allows a current of 2.5 mA. For
clamping currents above 2.5 mA, an external Zener diode (D9, Figure 3) is required.1)

Controller for Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts
Functional Description
If VCC exceeds the 10.6 V level and stays below 14.0 V (start-up hysteresis – phase 2, Figure 5), the IC checks
whether the lamps are assembled by detecting a current across the filaments.
The low side filaments are checked from a source current of typical IRES3 = - 21.3 μA flowing out of pin 13 RES
(Figure 5 IRES). This current produces a voltage drop of VRES < 1.6 V (filament is ok) at the low side filament sense
resistor (R 36 in Figure 3), connected to GND (via low side filament). An open low side filament is detected (see
Section 2.3.2), when the voltage at the RES pin exceeds the VRES > 1.6 V threshold (Figure 5 VRES).
The high side filaments are checked by a current of ILVS > 12 μA typically via resistors R41, R42, R43 and R44
(Figure 3) into the LVS pin 12 (for a single lamp operation). An unused LVS pin has to be disabled via connection
to GND. An open high side filament is detected (see Section 2.3.3) when there is no sink current into the LVS pin.
This causes a higher source current out of the RES pin (typically 42.6 μA / 35.4 μA) in order to exceed VRES >
1.6 V. In the case of defective filaments, the IC keeps monitoring until an adequate current from the RES or the
LVS pin is present (e.g. in case of removal of a defective lamp).
When VCC exceeds the 14.0 V threshold – by the end of the start-up hysteresis in phase 2 , Figure 5 – the IC waits
for 130 μs and senses the bus voltage. If the rated bus voltage is in the corridor of 12.5 % < VBUSrated < 105 %, the
IC powers up the system and enters phase 3 (Figure 5 VBUSrated > 95 % sensing); if not, the IC initiates a UVLO
until the chip supply voltage falls below VCC < 10.6 V. As soon as the condition for a power-up is fulfilled, the IC
starts the inverter gate operation with an internal fixed start-up frequency of 135 kHz. The PFC gate drive starts
with a delay of approx. 300 μs. Next, the bus voltage will be checked for a rated level above 95 % for a duration
of 80 ms (phase 3, Figure 5). When leaving phase 3, the IC enters the soft start phase and shifts the frequency
from the internal fixed start-up frequency of 135 kHz down to the set preheating frequency – e.g. fRFPH = 100 kHz.
2.2.2
Operating Levels from Soft Start to Run Mode
This section describes the operating flow from phase 5 (preheating mode) to phase 8 (run mode) in detail. In order
to extend the lifetime of the filaments, the controller enters – after the soft start phase – the preheating mode
(phase 5, Figure 6). The preheating frequency is set by resistors R22 pin RFPH to GND in combination with R21
(Figure 3) typ. 100 kHz e.g. R22 = 8.2 kΩ in parallel to R21 = 11.0 kΩ (see Figure 3, RFRUN pin). The preheating
time can be selected by the programming resistor (R23 in Figure 3) at pin RTPH from 0 ms up to 2500 ms
(phase 5, Figure 6).

Functional Description
During ignition (phase 6, Figure 6), the operating frequency of the inverter is shifted downward in ttyp = 40 ms
(tmax = 237 ms) to the run frequency set by a resistor (R21 in Figure 3) at pin RFRUN to GND (typically 45 kHz
with an 11.0 kΩ resistor). During this frequency shifting, the voltage and current in the resonant circuit will rise
when the operation is close to the resonant frequency with increasing voltage across the lamp. The ignition control
is activated if the sensed slope at the LSCS pin reaches typically 205 mV/μs ± 25 mV/μs and exceeds the 0.8 V
threshold. This stops the decrease of the frequency and waits for ignition. The ignition control is now continuously
monitored by the LSCS pin. The maximum duration of the ignition procedure is limited to 237 ms. If there is no
ignition within this time frame, the ignition control is disabled and the IC changes over into the latched fault mode.
Furthermore, in order to reduce the size of the lamp choke, the ignition control is designed to operate with a lamp
choke in magnetic saturation during ignition. For operation in magnetic saturation during ignition; the voltage at
the shunt at the LSCS pin 2 has to be VLSCS = 0.75 V when the ignition voltage is reached. If ignition is successful,
the IC enters the pre-run mode (phase 7, Figure 6). The pre-run mode is a safety mode in order to prevent a
malfunction of the IC due to an unstable system – e.g., the lamp parameters are not in a steady state condition.
After 625 ms pre-run mode, the IC changes to the run mode (phase 8, Figure 6). The run mode monitors the
complete system regarding bus over- and undervoltage, open loop, overcurrent of PFC and / or inverter, lamp
overvoltage (EOL1) and rectifier effect (EOL2) (see Section 2.5) and capacitive loads 1 and 2 (see Section 2.6).
Figure 8 shows the lamp voltage versus the frequency during the different phases from preheating to the run
mode. The lamp voltage rises by the end of the preheating phase with decreasing frequency (e.g., 100 kHz to
50 kHz) up to, for example, 700 V during ignition. After ignition, the lamp voltage drops down to its working level
with continuous decreasing of the frequency (Figure 8) down to its working level e.g. 45 kHz (set by a resistor at
the RFRUN pin to ground). After decreasing of the frequency stops, the IC enters the pre-run mode.

Filament Detection during Start-Up and Run Mode
The low and high side filament detection is sensed via the RES and the LVS pins. The low side filament detection
during start-up and run mode is detected via the RES pin only. An open high side filament during start-up will be
sensed via the LVS and the RES pins.
2.3.1
Start-Up with broken Low Side Filament
A source current of IRES3 = -21.3 μA from the RES pin (13) monitors the existence of a low side filament during a
start-up (also in run mode). In the case of an open low side filament during the start-up hysteresis (10.6 V < VCC
< 14.0 V) a capacitor (C19 in Figure 3) will be charged up via IRES3 = -21.3 μA. When the voltage at the RES pin
(13) exceeds VRES1 = 1.6 V, the controller prevents a power up and clamps the RES voltage internally at VRES
= 5.0 V. The gate drives of the PFC and inverter stage do not start working.

The IC comparators are then set to a threshold of VRES1 = 1.3 V and to IRES4 = - 17.7μA, the controller waits until
the voltage at the RES pin drops below VRES1 = 1.3 V.
When a filament is present (Figure 9, section 2), the voltage drops below 1.3 V and the value of the source current
out of the RES pin is set from IRES4 = -17.7 μA up to IRES3 = -21.3 μA. The controller then powers up the system,
including soft start and preheating, into the run mode.
2.3.2
Low Side Filament Detection during Run Mode
In the case of an open low side filament during run mode, the current flowing out of the RES pin IRES3 = -21.3 μA
charges up the capacitor C19 in Figure 3. If the voltage at the RES pin exceeds the VRES3 = 3.2 V threshold, the
controller detects an open low side filament and stops the gate drives after a delay of t = 620 μs of an internal timer.

Functional Description
A restart is initiated when a filament is detected e.g. in the case of a lamp removal. If a filament is present
(Figure 11, section 2), the voltage drops below 1.3 V and the value of the source current flowing out of the RES
pin is set from IRES4 = -17.7 μA up to IRES3 = -21.3 μA. The controller powers up the system, including soft start and
preheating, into the run mode (Figure 11, section 3).
2.3.3
Start-Up with Broken High Side Filament
An open high side filament during the start-up hysteresis (10.6 V < VCC < 14.0 V) is detected when the current into
the LVS pin 12 is below ILVS = 12 μA (typically). In that case, the current flowing out of the RES pin 13 rises up to
IRES1 = -42.6 μA. This causes the voltage at the RES pin to cross VRES1 = 1.6 V. The source current is now set to
IRES2 = -35.4 μA and another threshold of VRES2 = 1.3 V is active. The controller prevents a power-up (see
Figure 12), and the gate drives of the PFC and inverter stage do not start working.

When the high side filament is present, e.g. insertion of a lamp, the current of the active LVS pin exceeds ILVS >

then senses the low side filament. If a low side filament is also present, and the controller drops (after a short delay
due to a capacitor at the RES pin) below VRES2 = 1.3 V, the RES current is set to IRES3 = -21.3 μA, and the controller
powers up the system.

Discontinuous Conduction and Critical Conduction Mode Operation
The digitally controlled PFC preconverter starts with an internally fixed ON time of typically tON = 4.0 μs and a
variable frequency. The ON time is increased every 280 μs (typical) up to a maximum ON time of 24 μs. The
control switches practically immediately from the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to critical conduction
mode (CritCM) as soon as a sufficient ZCD signal becomes available. The frequency range in CritCM is 22 kHz
to 500 kHz depending on the power (Figure 14), with a variation of the ON time from 24 μs > tON > 0.5μs.

For lower loads (POUTNorm < 8 % from the normalized load1)) the control operates in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM) with an ON time from 4.0 μs and increasing OFF time. The frequency during DCM is variable in a range
from 144 kHz down to typically 22 kHz @ 0.1 % load (Figure 14). With this control method, the PFC converter
enables stable operation from 100 % load down to 0.1 %. Figure 14 shows the ON time range in DCM and CritCM
(Critical Conduction Mode) operation. In the overlapping area of CritCM and DCM there is a hysteresis of the ON
time which causes a negligible frequency change.

2.4.2.1
Bus Overvoltage and PFC Open Loop
The bus voltage loop control is completely integrated (Figure 16) and provided by an 8-bit sigma/delta A/D
converter with a typical sampling rate of 280 μs and resolution of 4 mV/bit. After leaving phase 2 (monitoring), the
IC starts power-up (VCC > 14.0 V). After power-up, the IC senses the bus voltage below 12.5 % (open loop) or
above 105 % (bus overvoltage) for 130 μs. In the case of bus overvoltage (VBUSrated > 109 %) or open loop
(VBUSrated < 12.5 %) in phases 3 to 8, the IC shuts off the gate drives of the PFC within 5 μs or 1 μs respectively.
In this case, the PFC restarts automatically when the bus voltage is within the corridor (12.5 % < VBUSrated < 105 %)
again. Is the bus voltage valid after 130 μs, the bus voltage sensing is set to 12.5 % < VBUSrated < 109 %. If these
thresholds are exceeded for longer than 1 μs (open loop) or 5 μs (overvoltage), the PFC gate drive stops working
until the voltage drops below 105 % or exceeds the 12.5 % level. If the bus overvoltage (> 109 %) lasts for longer
than 625 ms in run mode, the inverter gates also shut off and a power-down with complete restart is attempted
(Figure 15).

When the rated bus voltage is in the corridor of 12.5 % < VBUSrated < 109 %, the IC will check whether the bus
voltage exceeds the 95 % threshold (Figure 15, phase 3) within 80 ms before entering the soft start phase 4.
Another threshold is activated when the IC enters the run mode (phase 8). If the rated bus voltage drops below
75 % for longer than 84 μs, a power-down with a complete restart is attempted when a counter exceeds 800 ms.
In the case of short-term bus undervoltage (the bus voltage reaches its working level in run mode before exceeding
typically 800 ms (min. 500 ms)) the IC skips phases 1 to 5 and starts with ignition (see Section 2.7.1 for conditions
for emergency lighting). The internal reference level of the bus voltage sense VPFCVS is 2.5 V (100 % of the rated
bus voltage) with a high accuracy. A surge protection is activated in the case of a rated bus voltage of VBUS >
109 % and a low side current sense voltage of VLSCS > 1.6 V in pre-run mode, or VLSCS > 0.8 V in run mode for
longer than 500 ns.

An additional feature is the THD correction (Figure 16). In order to optimize the improved THD (especially in the

signal (blue part of the PFC gate signal in Figure 17) with the variable PFC ZCD resistor (see resistor R13 in

In the case of DC input voltage (see DC input voltage in Figure 17), the pulse width gate signal is fixed as a
combination of the gate signal controlled by the VPFCVS pin (gray) and the additional pulse width signal controlled
by the ZCD pin (blue) shown in Figure 17 ZCD @ DC input voltage.
The PFC current limitation at pin PFCCS interrupts the ON time of the PFC MOSFET if the voltage drop at the
shunt resistors R18 (Figure 3) exceeds VPFCCS = 1.0 V (Figure 16). This interrupt will restart after the next
sufficient signal from ZCD becomes available (Auto Restart). The first value of the resistor can be calculated by
the ratio of the PFC mains choke and ZCD winding by the bus voltage and a current of typically 1.5 mA (see
equation below for a good practical value of resistance of ZCD). An adjustment of the ZCD resistor causes an
optimized THD.

Detection of End-of-Life and Rectifier Effect
Two effects are present by End of Life (EOL): lamp overvoltage (EOL1) and a rectifier effect (EOL2).
After ignition (see 1 in Figure 18), the lamp voltage breaks down to its run voltage level with decreasing frequency.
On reaching the run frequency, the IC enters the pre-run mode for 625 ms. During this period, the EOL detection
is still disabled. In the subsequent run mode (2 in Figure 18) the detection of EOL1 (lamp overvoltage; see 3,

Rectifier Effect
The event of EOL1 is detected by measuring the positive and negative peak levels of the lamp voltage via an AC
current fed into the pin LVS (Figure 19). This AC current is fed into the LVS pins via the network R41, R42, R43,
R44 and the low pass filter C40 and R45 – see Figure 3. If the sensed AC current exceeds 210 μAPP for longer
than 620 μs, the status of end-of-life (EOL1) is detected (lamp overvoltage/overload; see Figure 19 LVSAC
current). The EOL1 fault results in a latched power-down mode (after trying a single restart). The controller
continuously monitors the status until the EOL1 status changes – e.g. a new lamp is inserted.

Detection of End of Life 2 (EOL2) – Rectifier Effect
The rectifier effect (EOL2) is detected by measuring the positive and negative DC levels of the lamp voltage via a
current fed into the LVS pin (Figure 20). This current is fed into the LVS pin via the network R41, R42, R43 and
R44 (see Figure 3). If the sensed DC current exceeds ± 42 μA (Figure 20 LVSDC current) for longer than
2500 ms, the status of end-of-life (EOL2) is detected. The EOL2 fault results in a latched power-down mode (after
trying a single restart) and the controller is continuously monitoring. The insertion of a new lamp or an interruption
of the input voltage resets the status of the IC.

Detection of Capacitive Load
In order to prevent a malfunction in the area of capacitive load (see Figure 21) during run mode due to certain
deviations from the normal load (e.g. harmed lamp, sudden break of the lamp tube …), the IC has three integrated
thresholds – sensed only via the LSCS (pin 2). The controller distinguishes between two different states of
capacitive load: detection of working without load (idling detection, CapLoad 1) and working with short overcurrent
(CapLoad 2). This state (CapLoad 2) affects operation below the resonance in the capacitive load area
(Figure 23). In both cases, the IC results in a latched power-down mode after a single restart. After latching the
power-down mode, the controller continuously monitors the input voltage and lamp filaments, and restarts after
interruption of the input voltage or insertion of a new lamp.

Capacitive Load 1 (Idling Detection – Current Mode Preheating)
A capacitive load 1 operation (idling) is detected when the voltage at the LSCS pin is below +50 mV during the
second 50 % ON time of the low side MOSFET (see capacitive load 1 (idling) in Figure 22). If this status is present
for longer than 2500 ms, the controller triggers a latched power-down mode after trying a single restart. The
controller keeps monitoring the status continuously until an adequate load is present (e.g. lamp removal); then the
IC changes to normal operation.

Capacitive Load 2 (Overcurrent / Operation below Resonance)
A capacitive load 2 operation is detected if the voltage at the LSCS pin drops below a second threshold of
VLSCS = –50 mV directly before the high side MOSFET is turned on or exceeds a third threshold of VLSCS = 2.0 V
during ON switching of the high side MOSFET. If this overcurrent is present for longer than 620 μs, the IC triggers
a latched power-down mode after trying a single restart. The controller keeps monitoring the status continuously
until an adequate load is present e.g. a new lamp is inserted; then the IC changes to normal operation.

Adjustable Self-adapting Dead Time
The dead time between the turn OFF and turn ON of the half-bridge drivers is adjustable (C16, see Figure 3) and
is detected via a second threshold (–50 mV) of the LSCS voltage. The range of the dead time adjustment is 1.05 μs
up to 2.1 μs during all operating modes. The start of the dead time measurement is the OFF switching of the high
side MOSFET. The end of the dead time measurement is when VLSCS drops for longer than typically 200 ns
(internal fixed propagation delay) below –50 mV. This time will be stored (stored dead time) and the low side gate
driver switches ON. The high side gate driver turns ON again after OFF switching of the low side switch and the
stored dead time.

Emergency Lighting
Line interruptions (bus voltage drops) are detected by the PFCVS. If the rated PFC bus voltage drops below
VBUSRated < 75 % during run mode, the controller detects PFC bus undervoltage. In order to meet the emergency
lighting standards, the controller distinguishes between two different states of PFC bus undervoltage: short- and
a long-term PFC bus undervoltage. A timer increases the time as long as bus undervoltage is present. Short-term
bus undervoltage is detected if the timer value stays below t < 800 ms typical (500 ms min.) after the bus voltage
reaches the nominal level again. This causes a restart without preheating (emergency standard of VDE0108) –
see Figure 25. If the timer exceeds t > 800 ms, the controller forces a complete restart of the system due to longterm bus undervoltage (Figure 26).
2.7.1
Short-term PFC Bus Undervoltage
Short-term PFC bus undervoltage (Figure 25) is detected if the duration of the undervoltage does not exceed
800 ms (timer stays below t < 800 ms, see Figure 25). In that case, the PFC and inverter drivers are immediately
switched off and the controller continuously monitors the status of the bus voltage in a latched power-down mode
(ICC < 170 μA). If the signal at the LVS pin exceeds 18 μA and the rated bus voltage is above 12.5 % while the
timer is below t < 800 ms, the controller restarts from power up without preheating. The timer resets to 0 when
entering run mode.

Long-term PFC Bus Undervoltage
If the duration of the bus undervoltage exceeds t > 800 ms (see Figure 26), the controller forces an undervoltage
lockout (UVLO). The chip supply voltage drops below VCC = 10.6 V and the chip supply current is below ICC
< 130 μA. When the Vcc voltage exceeds the 10.6 V threshold again, the IC current consumption is below ICC
< 160 μA. In that case, the controller resets the timer and restarts with the full start-up procedure, including
monitoring, power-up, start-up, soft start, preheating, ignition, pre-run and run modes, as shown in Figure 26.

Built-in Customer Test Mode Operation
In order to decrease the final ballast testing time for customers, the 2nd generation of ballast IC supports an
integrated built-in Customer Test Mode and several functions to disable some features and states of the IC.
2.8.1
Preheating Test Mode
This feature forces the IC to stay in the preheating mode (see Section 2.8.1.2) or to start ignition immediately
without any preheating (see Section 2.8.1.1). A resistor at this pin defines the duration of the preheating phase.
Normally, the preheating phase is in a range of 0 ms up to 2500 ms set via a resistor RRTPH = 0 Ω up to 25 kΩ from
the RTPH pin to GND. The preheating phase is skipped when the RTHP pin is set to GND. If the signal at this pin
is VRTPH > 5.0 V, the IC remains in the preheating mode.

Figure 27 shows a standard start-up with a preheating time set via resistor at the RTPH pin 11 to GND (e.g. 8.2 kΩ
– this is equal to a preheating phase of approx. 820 ms). The preheating phase can be skipped by setting the
RTPH pin 11 directly to GND. In this case, ignition takes place directly after the soft start phase (see Figure 28).

IC Remains in Preheating Phase
This feature gives the customer the flexibility to align the preheating frequency to the filament power in the
preheating phase. Figure 29 shows a standard start-up with the set preheating time of, for example, 820 ms with
an 8.2 kΩ resistor at the RTPH pin 11. To force the IC to remain in preheating, the voltage level at the RTPH pin 11
has to be set to 5.0 V. The duration of this 5.0 V signal defines the time of the preheating (see IPreHeat in Figure 30).

The built-in customer test mode, supported by this IC, saves testing time for customers in terms of ballast end test.

following factors (see Table 2).

Enabling of the Clock Acceleration
The clock acceleration (Built-in Customer Test Mode) is activated when the chip supply voltage exceeds VCC
> 14.0 V and the voltages at the run and preheating frequency pins are set to VRFRUN = VRFPH = 5.0 V (± 5 %) –
see Figure 33. A RES pin voltage of VRES > 3.5 V up to 5.0 V (± 5 %) prevents a power-up of the IC, the IC remains
in a mode before powering up as long as the voltage at the RES pin is VRES > 3.5 V up to 5.0 V (± 5 %) – no powerup.
Note: After the activation of the clock acceleration mode, the voltage level of 5.0 V at the run and preheating
frequency pins (VRFRUN = VRFPH) can be released.
2.8.3.2
Starting the Chip with Accelerated Clock
In order to start the IC with an accelerated clock, set the voltage at the RES pin to GND (VRES = 0 V), see
Figure 33. The IC powers up the system and starts working with an accelerated clock. The duration of the different

Electrical Characteristics
All voltages without the high side signals are measured with respect to ground (pin 4). The high side voltages are
measured with respect to pin 17. The voltage levels are valid if other ratings are not violated.
5.1
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings are defined as ratings, which when exceeded may lead to destruction of the integrated
circuit. For the same reason, ensure that any capacitor to be connected to pin 3 (VCC) or pin 15 (HSVCC) is
discharged before assembling the application circuit.
