Introduction
Efficient fluorescent lamps and magnetic ballasts have been the standard lighting fixture
in commercial and industrial lighting for many years. Several lamp types, rapid start,
high output, and others are available for cost effective and special applications. This
user guide covers operation and development details of the non-dimmable version of
our fluorescent ballast for operating a variety of lamps that are available today. This
guide also covers power electronic circuits that find wide utilization in other applications
beyond lighting alone, which include Power Factor Correction, Half-Bridge Inverter
Drives, and Charge Pump Regulators all employing a variety of IXYS / Atmel parts.
Typical rapid start fluorescent lamps have two pins at each end with a filament across
the pins. The lamp has argon gas under low pressure and a small amount of mercury in
the phosphor coated glass tube. As an AC voltage is applied at each end and the filaments are heated, electrons are driven off the filaments that collide with mercury atoms
in the gas mixture. A mercury electron reaches a higher energy level then falls back to a
normal state releasing a photon of ultraviolet (UV) wavelength. This photon collides with
both argon assisting ionization and the phosphor coated glass tube. High voltage and
UV photons ionize the argon, increasing gas conduction and releasing more UV photons. UV photons collide with the phosphor atoms increasing their electron energy state
and releasing heat. Phosphor electron state decreases and releases a visible light photon. Different phosphor and gas materials can modify some of the lamp characteristics.

Since the argon conductivity increases and resistance across the lamp ends decreases
as the gas becomes excited, an inductance (ballast) must be used to limit and control
the gas current. In the past, an inductor could be designed to limit the current for a narrow range of mains voltage and frequency. A better method to control gas current is to
vary an inductor's volt-seconds to achieve the desired lamp current and intensity. A variable frequency inverter operating from a DC bus can do this. If the inductor is part of an
R-L-C circuit, rapid start ignition and operating currents are easily controlled depending
on the driving frequency versus resonant frequency.
Utility is enhanced by designing a power factor correcting boost converter (PFC) to
achieve the inverter DC bus over a wide mains voltage range of 90 - 265VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Since a PFC circuit keeps the mains current and voltage in phase with very low distortion, mains power integrity is maintained. Additional utility is achieved by designing a
microcontroller for the electronic ballast application that can precisely and efficiently
control power levels in the fluorescent lamp. An application specific microcontroller
offers the designer unlimited opportunity to enhance marketability of lighting products.
The final design topology is shown in the block diagram of Figure 1-3.
1.1
General
Description
Fluorescent ballast topology usually includes line conditioning for CE compliance, a
power factor correction block including a boost converter to 380 V for universal input
applications and a half bridge inverter. Varying the frequency of the inverter permits time
for filament preheat and ignition for rapid starting, including precise power control. As
shown in the block diagram, figure 3, all of these functions can be timed, regulated, and
diagnosed with the Atmel AT89EB5114 microcontroller.

3.1.1
Line Conditioning
An input filter section consisting of C1, C3, and common mode choke L1 prevent switching signal frequencies and their harmonics from the PFC boost converter from being
conducted to the mains. Varistor RV1 protects the ballast circuit from line voltage transients. Full wave bridge rectifier BR1 converts the line AC to a DC haversine. Diode D2
is used to provide a point ahead of the boost inductor and filter where the haversine signal can be sensed by the microcontroller. This is necessary for the proper timing of the
PFC control drive signal which must maintain a constant ON time pulse width over a
haversine period.
3.1.2
Low Voltage Supply
3.3V microcontroller power and ~ 15V FET drive power are provided by the low voltage
supply consisting of a current source (Q1) and multipurpose IC U1 (IXI589). Internal to
U1 are a 3.3V linear regulator, a 15V (nominal) two point regulator, under-voltage lockout comparators and control, charge pump switching circuitry, and a FET driver. (See
more detailed description of the IXI859 below) For startup, the current source formed by
Q1, and its associated components sources current into C6 until the voltage at U1 pin 1
reaches the under-voltage lockout upper limit of approximately 14.1V. The current
source voltage output is limited by zener diode D3 to about 16 V. When the under-voltage lockout limit is reached, the IXI859 begins to supply 3.3V to the microcontroller. The
microcontroller then begins to supply drive pulses to the PFC FET Q3 through the
IXI859 FET gate driver. The charge pump regulator circuit is then able to supply 15V
power by efficiently converting energy from the PFC switching circuit. This feature is not
used in the non-dimmable demonstrator design. Rather, a voltage doubler circuit consisting of D4, D20 and C31 connected to the PFC transformer secondary provides 15V
power after startup.

7629A–AVR–04/06
3.1.3
PFC Boost
Regulator
The PFC (Power Factor Correcting) boost regulator circuit is used to convert the rectified input line voltage to a 380V DC supply while maintaining a sinusoidal average input
current in phase with the input voltage. The microcontroller accomplishes this by switching the PFC FET with ON times that are constant over a haversine period and by
maintaining nearly critical conduction conditions. Since the current in the PFC inductor
is nearly triangular and its peaks are proportional to the input haversine voltage, the
average current is proportional to the input waveform. Therefore, the power factor is
maintained near unity.
3.1.4
PFC Magnetics
Without going into the derivations of the formulas used, the transformer design is as
follows:
L = [(1.4 * 90VAC) * (20 uS)] / 3.6A peak = 700 uH
A 3.6 Apk maximum FET current is 1.8 A approximately divided by the ON/OFF ratio.
The ON time has been discussed earlier and the OFF time maximum will occur at high
line condition at the peak of the haversine. A 16 mm core was chosen for the recommended power density at 200 mT and 50 KHz.
3.1.5
Lamp Drive
The microcontroller sends rectangular pulses to the half-bridge driver (IXD611). The
IXD611 contains high side and low side FET drivers and floating high side supply circuitry to produce high side gate drive. (See more detailed description of the IXD611 to
follow) The pulses from the microcontroller are non-overlapping and 180 degrees out of
phase. A deadband time between HBRIDGE HI and HBRIDGE LO pulses insures that
both drivers are never on at the same time. The lamp drive is constant in duty cycle. The
power to the lamps is controlled by varying the frequency of the drive signals. The
IXD611 drives two FETs (IXTP3N50P) in a half-bridge configuration.
The output of the half-bridge is AC coupled by C11 to the lamps through a resonating
transformer and capacitor (T4 and C12). Additional windings on T4 supply filament current to the lamps. Balance transformer T3 forces the current to be shared equally by the
two lamps. The lamp currents are conducted to circuit common through a 1 Ohm resistor which is used to sense the lamp current so that lamp power may be controlled by the
microcontroller.
3.1.6
Control
The ballast is controlled by microcontroller U3. U3 is an Atmel AT8xEB5114 with an
80C51 core and specialized circuitry for controlling the ballast. Included are two PWM
units that are used for controlling the PFC drive and the half-bridge drive with deadtime.
An internal analog to digital converter converts input signals so the processor can monitor and control the ballast.
The AT8xEB5114 pin connections for ballast control and scale factors for analog inputs
are as follows:
• P4.0/AIN0 VBus monitor input (VBus = AIN0 x 201)
• P4.1/AIN1 Rectified Lamp Voltage Sense (Vlamp = AIN1 x 294)
• P4.2/AIN2 Lamp AC Voltage (VAC ~= AIN2 x 446)
• P4.3/AIN3 Lamp Current (Amplify by 10) (Ilamp = AIN3/1Ohm)
• P3.3/AIN4 Haversine Voltage input (Vhaversine = AIN4 x 201)
• P3.4/AIN5 Temperature sensor (Vtemp = 1.1V @ 25C || .264V @ 85C)
• P3.6 NC (No Connection)
• P3.5/W1M0 PFC Drive
• P3.2/INT0 Current Zero Crossing Detect (Interrupt)
• P3.1/W0M1 Half Bridge high side drive

• P3.0/W0M0 Half Bridge low side drive
The Temperature monitor is a thermistor with a nominal 10K resistance at 25°C and
1.74K resistance at 80°C. It is mounted on the circuit board and so monitors ambient
temperature in the lamp housing.
Additional dedicated pins allow in-circuit programming of the flash memory using header
J2. Other pins provide connections for the oscillator and voltage reference components.
3.1.7
IXYS IXI859 Charge
Pump Regulator
The IXI859 charge pump regulator integrates three primary functions central to the PFC
stage of the ballast demonstrator. First it includes a linear regulated supply voltage output, and in this application the linear regulator provides 3.3V to run the microcontroller.
The second function is a gate drive buffer that switches an external power MOSFET
used to boost the PFC voltage to 380V. Once the microcontroller is booted up and running, it generates the input signal to drive the PFC MOSFET through the IXI859 gate
drive buffer. Finally, the third function provides two point regulated supply voltage for
operating external devices. As a safety feature, the IXI859 includes an internal Vcc
clamp to prevent damage to itself due to over-voltage conditions.
In general applications at start-up, an R-C combination is employed at the Vcc supply
pin that ramps up a trickle voltage to the Vcc pin from a high voltage offline source. The
value of R is large to protect the internal zener diode clamp and as a result, can't supply
enough current to power the microcontroller on it's own. C provides energy to boot the
microcontroller. At a certain voltage level during the ramp up, the Under Voltage Lock
Out point is reached and the IXI859 enables itself. The internal voltage regulator that
supplies the microcontroller is also activated during this time. However, given the trickle
charge nature of the Vcc input voltage, the microcontroller must boot itself up and
enable PFC operation to provide charge pump power to itself. This means that the R-C
combination must be sized carefully so that the voltage present at the Vcc pin does not
collapse too quickly under load and causes the UVLO circuitry to disable device operation before the microcontroller can take over the charge pump operation. There are a
couple of problems associated with this method. Namely, under normal operation as
previously mentioned, the internal zener diode clamps the input Vcc pin voltage and R
must dissipate power as long as the zener diode is clamped. Assuming that a rectified
sine wave is supplied at the Vcc means that the internal zener will be clamped and R will
be dissipating power as long as the input voltage is greater than the zener voltage.
Another problem is that when a universal range is used at the Vcc pin, 90-265V, R must
dissipate nine times the power, current squared function for power in R, over a threefold increase of voltage from 90V at the low end to 265V on the high end.
As an alternative and as used in the ballast demonstrator, the Vcc pin is fed voltage by
way of a constant current source. This circuit brings several advantages over the regular
R-C usage. First we can reduce power consumed previously by R and replace it with a
circuit that can provide power at startup and once the microcontroller is running, shut off
current into the Vcc pin. The constant current source also has the ability to provide sufficient power to run the microcontroller unlike the R-C combination. This would be an
advantage in the case that a standby mode is desired. Overall power consumption can
be reduced by allowing the microcontroller to enter a low power mode and shut down
PFC operation without having to reboot the microcontroller. Since the R-C combination
cannot provide enough power to sustain microcontroller operation, the microcontroller
must stay active running the PFC section to power itself.

Ballast Demonstrator User Guide
The IXYS IXTP02N50D depletion mode MOSFET is used in this circuit to provide power
and a start-up voltage to the Vcc pin of the IXI859 charge pump regulator. The
IXTP02N50D acts as a current source and self regulates as the source voltage rises
above the 15V zener voltage and causes the gate to become more negative than the
-9
7629A–AVR–04/06
source due to the voltage drop across the source resistor. Enough energy is available
from the current source circuit during the conduction angles to keep the IXI859 (U1) pin
1 greater than 14VDC as required to enable the Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) circuitry in the IXI859.
3.1.9
IXYS IXD611 Half
bridge MOSFET
driver
The IXD611 half bridge driver includes two independent high speed drivers capable of
600mA drive current at a supply voltage of 15V. The isolated high side driver can withstand up to 650V on its output while maintaining its supply voltage through a bootstrap
diode configuration. In this ballast application, the IXD611 is used in a half-bridge
inverter circuit driving two IXYS IXTP3N50P power MOSFETs. The inverter load consists of a series resonant inductor and capacitor to power the lamps. Filament power is
also provided by the load circuit and is wound on the same core as the resonant inductor. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is not used in this application, instead the power is
controlled through frequency variation. It is important to note that pulse overlap, which
could lead to the destruction of the two MOSFETs due to current shoot through, is prevented via the input drive signals through the microcontroller. This parameter, also
known as dead time, is not available on this particular driver. However, a dead time
option is built in on other driver models within the IXYS bridge driver family.
Other features of the IXD611 driver include:
– Wide supply voltage operation 10-35V
– Matched propagation delay for both drivers
– Undervoltage lockout protection
– Latch up protected over entire operating range
• +/- 50V/ns dV/dt immunity
3.1.10
IXYS IXTP3N50P
PolarHV N-Channel
Power MOSFET
The IXTP3N50P is a 3A 500V general purpose power MOSFET that comes from the
family of IXYS PolarHV MOSFETs. When comparing equivalent die sizes, PolarHT
results in 50% lower R DS(ON), 40% lower R THJC (thermal resistance, junction to
case), and 30% lower Qg (gate charge) enabling a 30% - 40% die shrink, with the same
or better performance verses the 1st generation power MOSFETs.
Within the ballast demonstrator itself the IXTP3N50 serves two functions. The first of
which is the power switching pair of devices in the half-bridge circuit that drives the
lamps. While a third device serves duty in the main PFC circuit as the power switch that
drives the PFC inductor.

Circuit Operation
General requirements
• One or two lamps, type T8 of any characteristics
– Ballast to compensate automatically
– Hardware is capable of up to 40W per lamp
• Line voltage of 90 to 265 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz
– 380 volt DC bus as provided by a power factor correcting boost regulator
(PFC)
4.1
PFC
Upon application of mains power, without the PFC running, the filter cap C9 will charge
to the peak line voltage. The current source will supply the low voltages. After the DC
bus voltage is 0.9 times the haversine peak and the under voltage lockout (UVLO)
requirements are met, a series of fixed width soft-start pulses are sent to the PFC FET
of 10 uS at a 20 KHz rate. At very low 380V load current the 380DVC bus should rise to
380V. If the bus rises to 410 VDC, all PFC pulses stop. The zero crossing detector
(P3.2/INT0) starts to sense zero crossings from the PFC transformer secondary. A 380V
DC bus and a zero crossing event starts the PFC control loop.
Checks are made for the presence of the rectified mains (haversine) and bus voltage
throughout normal operation. Mains sense (P3.3/AIN4) < 0.76 V pk (90 VAC) or > 2.24
V pk (265 VAC) faults the PFC to off, turns off the ½ bridge and initiates a restart.
The control consists of measuring the 380V bus error from the 380V setpoint of 1.89 V
at P4.0/AIN0 to determine the PFC drive pulse width (PW). The PW is made proportional to the error, and has to be constant during a complete half period, so the update is
done each time the haversine is null. A maximum PW limit should be coded to limit the
FET current under upset of high error and high haversine (265VAC*1.4). The maximum
pulse width allowed is inversely proportional to the peak haversine voltage and varies
between 6 uS at high line and 20 uS at low line.
PWmax = K/Vhaversine
Current sensing of the PFC FET source is not needed as the peak current allowed can
be set by the haversine peak detect.
tmax = L Ipk / Vhaversine
With L at 700 uH and Ipk at 3.2 A, tmax = 6 uS at high line (265 Vrms). This also effectively limits the FET dissipation under upset conditions. Under normal operation, a pulse
Ballast Demonstrator User Guide

7629A–AVR–04/06
width maximum of 20 uS is allowed for maximum 380 VDC error but with the high line
limitation. 1% regulation of the 380 VDC bus was achieved with this control scheme.
After the PFC FET ON pulse, the PFC inductor flyback boosts the voltage through D6 to
the bulk filter capacitor. The boost current decays as measured by the inductor secondary. After the current goes to zero, the next pulse is started. This ensures operation in
near critical conduction boost mode. The current zero crossing detect of P3.2/INT0 sets
the PFC off time. This off time is effectively proportional to the haversine amplitude with
the lowest PFC frequency occurring at the haversine crest and the highest frequency at
the haversine zero. Because of the haversine voltage, and di=v*dt/L the mains current
envelope should follow the voltage for near unity power factor. This assumes a nearly
constant error (di) of the 380 VDC bus over each haversine period.
The PFC on time is modified proportionally to the error between 380V and the actual
value of the 380VDC BUS. In case the Vbus reaches the overshoot value (410V) the
pulse is reduce to 0.

4.2
Lamp Circuit
4.2.1
General
T4 primary and C12 form a series resonant circuit driven by the output half bridge. Since
the output is 380V pulsed DC, DC isolation is provided by C11 to drive the lamp circuit
with AC. The lamp is placed across the resonating capacitor C12. The lamp filaments
are driven by windings on T4 secondaries to about 3 Vrms so that the resonating inductor current provides the starting lamp filament current.
Sequentially, the lamp is started at a frequency well above resonance at 100 KHz before
ramping down to 55 KHz ignition. 80 KHz provides a lagging power factor where most of
-12
7629A–AVR–04/06
Ballast Demonstrator User Guide
the drive voltage appears across the inductor. A smaller voltage appears across the resonating capacitor and the lamps. However with 1 mH gapped inductance, there is
sufficient inductor current to power the filaments.
For lamp ignition, the frequency is reduced from 80 KHz to 40 KHz at 30 KHz/sec
towards resonance causing the lamp voltage to rise to about 340 Vpeak.
Ignition occurs at about 40 KHz for a 18W T8 lamp. The plasma established in the lamp
presents a resistive load across the resonating capacitor thereby reducing the voltage
across the capacitor and shifting the reactive power in the bridge circuit to resistive
power in the lamp.
A further reduction in frequency to 32 KHz at 30 KHz/sec establishes maximum brightness as the resonant circuit now has a leading (capacitive) power factor causing more
voltage and current (approx. 360 Vpeak) across the capacitor and the lamp.
4.2.1.1
Single lamp
operation
Single lamp operation can be detected from the 380VDC bus current through the 1 Ohm
sense resistor. At preheat the current for one lamp is half that for two lamps. This current is also used to sense open filament condition or lamp removed under power
condition. An abrupt change in the bus current is a good indicator of lamp condition that
does not require a high frequency response nor a minimal response due to reactive
currents.
Once single lamp condition is detected, the minimum run frequency is determined by
Ix380V = Single Lamp Power. If the single lamp condition occurs during "run" as noted
by a decrease in current of more than 20% from the preset level, increase the frequency
until the single lamp power conditions are met. If the current increases by more than
20% , assume the lamp has been replaced. Step Increase the frequency to 80 KHz to
restart the ignition process. This is necessary to preheat the new lamp filament to
ensure that the hot lamp will not ignite much sooner than the cold lamp exceeding the
balance transformer range.
Repeat ignition sequence. With one cold lamp in parallel with one hot lamp, it may be
necessary to restart several times to get both lamps to ignite.
The AT8xEB5114 internal amplifier has the gain preset in the program to 10. This scales
the lamp current input to a reasonable A/D resolution.

If I > 20 ma, then 2 lamps. If I < 20 ma assume a single lamp.
I < 10 ma assume an empty fixture = fault & shutdown.
4.2.1.3
Start Ignition
Sequence
1. Sweep half-bridge frequency down at 30 KHz/sec
2. Stop sweep at 40 KHz or 25 uS period (12.5 uS pulses for each ½ bridge FET)
3. Check I > 100 ma (2 lamps) or > 30 ma (1 lamp) for proof of ignition
4. Hold ignition frequency for 10 mS
5. Measure the lamp voltage collapse for proof of ignition (P4.1/AIN1 < 200 mV)
6. If the lamp voltage has not collapsed, increase frequency to 77 KHz for preheat
for 1 second. Repeat ignition sequence.
7. Proceed to full power setting at 30 KHz/sec rate after ignition is detected.
4.2.1.4
Power Control
Calculate input power for both lamps = I x 380VDC.
Adjust freq. up (lower power) or down (higher power) at 30 KHz/sec rate.
Limit freq. to 32 KHz to 80 KHz range.

7629A–AVR–04/06
If lamp currents exceed power limits by 10% (as determined by lamp type), set halfbridge drive off due to over current. Start re-ignition sequence. Repeat 6 times and if still
out of spec, shutdown PFC and half-bridge drive.
PD6 rectified AC drive
Checks are made for the presence of the rectified mains (haversine) and bus voltage
throughout normal operation. Mains voltage < 90 VAC or 265 VAC peak faults the PFC
to off, turns off the half-bridge and initiates a restart.

Conclusion
The ballast demonstrator shows that the Atmel microcontroller and supporting IXYS
devices can control and regulate one or more fluorescent lamps with precision and efficiency, therefore providing the lamp controller manufacturer with maximum flexibility
with their design. Universal input and power factor control adds to the flexibility of the
design with a minimal addition of more expensive active components.
Additionally, the programmability of the microcontroller offers the lamp manufacturer the
flexibility to add or modify design features to enhance their market position. The ballast
demonstrator, with its many features, does not address all the possibilities available to
the lamp controller designer.

Capacitor

Voltage Supply
Small currents for the low voltage supply can be obtained from the AC line at low loss by
means of capacitor coupling as shown in the figures below. To estimate the required
size of the coupling capacitor, use the following relationships for current, charge, voltage
and capacitance.

2.dQ = CdV or C = dQ/dV
For example, to obtain 15 ma at 20 VDC from a 220 Vrms 50 Hz line:
1.dQ/dt = (15 millijoules/sec)/(50 cycles/sec) or 0.3 millijoules / cycle.
2.Over 1 cycle, the coupling capacitor (C1) will charge from –220V x 1.4 to
+220V x 1.4 – 20V- V . dV = 2*Vpk-Vo-2V . dV ~= 600V.
D
D
3. The required C1 ~ 0.3 millijoules/600V or 0.5 uF
In practice, C1 may have to be larger depending on the amount of ripple allowed by C2
and to account for component tolerances, minimum voltage, and current in the regulator
diode. C1 must be a non-polarized type with a voltage rating to withstand the peak line
voltage including transients. A high quality film capacitor is recommended.
6.2
Appendix 2: PFC
Basics
The function of the PFC boost regulator is to produce a regulated DC supply voltage
from a full wave rectified AC line voltage while maintaining a unity power factor load.
This means that the current drawn from the line must be sinusoidal and in phase with
the line voltage.
The ballast PFC circuit accomplishes this by means of a boost converter operating (See
Figure 6-3) at critical conduction so that the current waveform is triangular (See Figure
6-4).

Ballast Demonstrator User Guide
The boost switch ON time is maintained constant over each half cycle of the input voltage sinusoid. Therefore the peak current for each switching cycle is proportional to the
line voltage which is nearly constant during Ton. (Ipeak = Vin x Ton/L). Since the average value of a triangular waveform is half its peak value, the average current drawn is
also proportional to the line voltage.
