SO16, DIP 16 PACKAGES SO16N DIP16 ORDERING NUMBERS: L6574D L6574 The device is intended to drive two power MOSFETS, in the classical half bridge topology, ensuring all the features needed to drive and properly control a fluorescent bulb. A dedicated timing section in the L6574 allows the user set the necessary parameters for proper preheat and ignition of the lamp. Also, an OP AMP is available to implement closed loop control of the lamp current during normal lamp burning. DESCRIPTION In order to ensure voltage ratings in excess of 600V, the L6574 is manufactured with BCD OFF LINE technology, which makes it well suited for lamp ballast applications. An integrated bootstrap section, eliminating the normally required bootstrap diode and the zener clamping on Vs, makes the L6574 well suited for low cost applications where few additional components are needed to build a high performance ballast.

DIP16 SO16N Unit 80 120 °C/W PIN DESCRIPTION N° Pin Function 1 CPRE Preheat Timing Capacitor. The capacitor CPRE sets the preheating and the frequency shift time, according to the relations: tPRE = KPRE · CPRE and tSH = KFS · CPRE (typ. KPRE = 1.5s/µF, KFS = 0.15s/µF). This feature is obtained by charging CPRE with two different currents. During tPRE this current is independent of the external components, so CPRE is charged up to 3.5V (preheat timing comparator threshold). During tSH the current depends on RPRE value (i.e. on the difference between fPRE and fIGN). In this way tSH is always set at 0.1tPRE. In steady state the voltage at pin 1 is 5V. 2 RPRE Maximum Oscillation Frequency Setting. The resistance connected between this pin and ground sets the fPRE value, fixing the difference between fPRE and fIGN (fPRE > fIGN). At the end of the Start-up procedure, the effect current drown from RPRE is over. The voltage at this pin is fixed at VREF =2V. 3 CF Oscillator Frequency Setting. The capacitor CF, along with to RPRE and RIGN, sets fPRE and fING. In normal operation this pin shows a triangular wave. 4 RIGN Minimum Oscillation Frequency Setting. The resistance connected between this pin and ground sets the fIGN value. The voltage at this pin is fixed at VREF =2V. 5 OPout Out of the operational amplifier. To implement a feedback control loop this pin can be connected to the RIGN pin by means an appropriate circuitry. 6 OPin- Inverting Input of the operational amplifier. 7 OPin+ Non Inverting Input of the operational amplifier. 8 EN1 2/10 Enable 1. This pin (active high), forces the device in a latched shutdown state (like in the under voltage conditions). There are two ways to resume normal operation: – the first is to reduce the supply voltage below the undervoltage threshold and then increase it again until the valid supply is recognised. – the second is activating EN2 input. The enable 1 is especially designed for strong fault (e.g. in case of lamp disconnection). L6574 PIN DESCRIPTION (continued) N° Pin Function 9 EN2 Enable 2. EN2 input (active high) restarts the start-up procedure (preheating and ignition sequence). This features is useful if the lamp does not turn-on after the first ignition sequence . 10 GND Ground. 11 LVG Low Side Driver Output. This pin must be connected to the low side power MOSFET gate of the half bridge. A resistor connected between this pin and the power MOS gate can be used to reduce the peak current. 12 VS Supply Voltage. This pin, connected to the supply filter capacitor, is internally clamped (15.6V typical). 13 N.C. Non Connected. This pin set a distance between the pins related to the HV and those related to the LV side. 14 OUT High Side Driver Floating Reference. This pin must be connected close to the source of the high side power MOS or IGBT. 15 HVG High Side Driver Output. This pin must be connected to the high side power MOSFET gate of the half bridge. A resistor connected between this pin and the power MOS gate can be used to reduce the peak current. 16 VBOOT Bootstrapped Supply Voltage. Between this pin and VS must be connected the bootstrap capacitor. A patented integrated circuitry replaces the external bootstrap diode, by means of a high voltage DMOS, synchronously driven with the low side power MOSFET.

A high sink/ source driving current (450/250 mA typical) ensures fast switching times when a size 4 external power MOSFET needs to be driven. Bootstrap Section: A patented integrated bootstrap section replaces an external bootstrap diode. This section together with a bootstrap capacitor provides the bootstrap voltage to drive the high side power MOSFET. This function is achieved using a high voltage DMOS driver which is driven synchronously with the low side external power MOSFET. For a safe operation, current flow into the Vboot pin is inhibited, even though ZVS operation may not be ensured. Timing Section: To set the proper preheat time (tpre=kpre*Cpre) for the bulb, a capacitor is connected to the Cpre pin which is charged with a fixed current. During tpre, the output is switching at fpre (see Oscillator Section). When the tpre expires, the Cpre capacitor is discharged and then recharged with a different current. This sets a second time interval tsh (0.1 times the selected preheat time tpre) during which frequency shifting from fpre to fing is performed to ensure lamp ignition. 5/10 L6574 Oscillator Section: A voltage controlled oscillator, with the selected frequencies fpre and fing, drives the output half bridge. Independently selected, fpre is effective during tpre and fing is effective during normal lamp burning. When working open loop, fpre and fing are the highest and lowest allowed oscillation frequencies. Closed loop control of the lamp current under normal operation can be achieved with the L6574. This is accomplished by automatic adjustment of the oscillator frequency. The OP AMP output is fed through a resistor diode network to the Ring pin. See AN 993. OP AMP Section: The integrated OP AMP offers low output impedance, wide bandwidth, high input impedance and wide common mode range. It can be readily used to implement closed loop control (see Oscillator Section) of the lamp current. EN1, EN2 Comparators: Two CMOS comparators, with thresholds set at 0.6 V (typical) are available to implement protection methods (such as overvoltage, lamp removal, etc.). Short pulses (>200nsec) at the comparator inputs are recognized. The EN1 input (active high) forces the L6574 in the shut down state (e.g. LVG low, HVG low, oscillator stopped) in the event of an undervoltage condition. Normal operating condition is resumed after a poweroff power-on sequence or when EN2 input is high. The EN2 input (active high) also restarts a preheat sequence (see timing diagrams).
