Device description
Device description
Designed in High-voltage BCD Off-line technology, the L6585D embeds a PFC controller, a
half-bridge controller, the relevant drivers and the logic necessary to build an electronic
ballast.
The advanced and precise logic circuitry, combined with the programmability of the End-ofLife windows comparator threshold, makes the L6585D compliant with either "lamp-toground" or "block capacitor-to ground" configurations.
Another outstanding feature is the possibility of controlling and limiting the lamp voltage
during the ignition phase.
The pre-heating and ignition durations are independently settable as well as the half-bridge
switching frequencies for each operating phases (pre-heating, ignition and normal mode).
Other features (half-bridge over-current with frequency increase, PFC over-voltage) allow
building a reliable and flexible solution with a reduced part count.
The PFC section achieves current mode control operating in Transition Mode; the highly
linear multiplier includes a special circuit, able to reduce AC input current distortion, that
allows wide-range-mains operation with an extremely low THD, even over a large load
range.
The PFC output voltage is controlled by means of a voltage-mode error amplifier and a
precise internal voltage reference.
The driver of the PFC is able to provide 300mA (source) and 600mA (sink) and the drivers of
the half-bridge provide 290mA source and 480mA sink.

OSC
Function
An external capacitor to GND fixes the half-bridge switching frequency with a
±3% precision.
RF
Voltage reference able to source up to 240µA; the current sunk from this pin fixes
the switching frequency of the half-bridge for each operating state.
A resistor (RRUN) connected to ground sets the half-bridge operating frequency
combined with the capacitor connected to the pin OSC.
A resistor connected to EOI (RPRE) – in parallel with RRUN – sets the maximum
half-bridge switching frequency during pre-heating.
EOI
Connected to ground by a capacitor that, combined with RPRE, determines the
ignition duration
Pre-heating: low impedance to set high switching frequency
Ignition and run mode: high impedance with controlled current sink in case of
HBCS threshold triggering.
Tch
Pin for setting the pre-heating time and the protection intervention.
Connect a RC parallel network (RD and CD) to ground
Pre-heating: the CD is charged by an internal current generator. When the pin
voltage reaches 4.63V the generator is disabled and the capacitor discharges
because of RD; once the voltage drops below 1.52V, the preheating finishes, the
ignition phase starts and the RDCD is discharged to ground.
Run mode: according to the kind of fault (either over-current or EOL) the
internal generator charges the RC parallel network and appropriate actions are
taken to stop the application. During proper behavior of the IC, this pin is low
impedance.
5
Pin to program the EOL comparator.
EOLP It is possible to select both the EOL sensing method and the window comparator
amplitude by connecting a resistor (REOLP) to ground.
6
Input for the window comparator and re-lamp function.
It can be used to detect the lamp ageing for either “lamp to ground” and “block
capacitor to ground” configurations.
According to the EOLP pin setting, it is possible to program:
– the window amplitude (VW)
EOL-R – the center of the window (VSET) either fixed or in tracking with the PFC output
bus.
This function is blanked during the ignition phase.
In case of either lamp disconnection or removal, a second threshold (VSL-UP)
crossing latches the IC and drives the chip in “ready-mode” so that when the
voltage at EOL-R pin is brought below VSL-DOWN (re-lamp) a new preheating/ignition sequence is repeated.
7
CTR
Input pin for:
– PFC over-voltage detection: the PFC driver is stopped until the voltage returns
in the proper operating range
– Feedback disconnection detection
– reference for End-of-life in case tracking reference;
– shut-down: forcing the pin to a voltage lower than 0.75V, the IC shuts down in
unlatched condition.
8
MULT
Main input to the multiplier. This pin is connected to the rectified mains voltage
via a resistor divider and provides the sinusoidal reference to the PFC current
loop.

11
Output of the error amplifier. A compensation network is placed between this pin
COMP and INV to achieve stability of the PFC voltage control loop and ensure high
power factor and low THD.
INV
Inverting input of the error amplifier. The information on the output voltage of the
PFC pre-regulator is fed into the pin through a resistor divider. Input for the
feedback disconnection comparator
ZCD
Boost inductor’s demagnetization sensing input for PFC transition-mode
operation. A negative-going edge triggers PFC MOSFET turn-on.
During start-up or when the voltage is not high enough to arm the internal
comparator (e.g. AC Mains peak), the PFC driver is triggered by means of an
internal starter.
12
PFCS
13
PFG
Input to the PFC PWM comparator. The current flowing in the PFC mosfet is
sensed by a resistor; the resulting voltage is applied to this pin and compared
with an internal sinusoidal-shaped reference, generated by the multiplier, to
determine the PFC MOSFET’ s turn-off.
A second comparison level detects abnormal currents (e.g. due to boost inductor
saturation) and, on this occurrence, shuts down and latches the IC reducing its
consumption to the start-up.
An internal LEB prevents undesired function triggering.
PFC gate driver output. The totem pole output stage is able to drive power
MOSFET’S with a peak current of 300mA source and 600mA sink.
14
2-levels half-bridge current monitor for current control.
The current flowing in the HB mosfet is sensed by a resistor; the resulting
voltage is applied to this pin.
Low threshold (active during run mode): in case of thresholds crossing, the IC
reacts with self-adjusting frequency increase in order to limit the half-bridge
HBCS (lamp) current.
High threshold:
– ignition: in case of thresholds crossing during the frequency shift, the IC reacts
with self-adjusting frequency increase in order to limit the lamp voltage and
preventing operation below resonance.
– run mode: in case of thresholds crossing because of current spikes (due e. g.
to capacitive mode / cross-conduction), the L6585D latches to avoid
MOSFETs damaging,
15
GND
Ground. Current return for both the signal part of the IC and the gate driver.
16
LSD
Low side driver output: the output stage can deliver 290mA source and 480mA
sink (typ. values).
17
VCC
Supply Voltage of both the signal part of the IC and the gate driver.
Clamped with a Zener inside.
18
OUT
High Side Driver Floating Reference. This pin must be connected close to the
source of the high side power MOS.
19
HSD

(typ. values).
20

Function
Bootstrapped Supply Voltage. Between this pin and VCC, the bootstrap capacitor
must be connected.
BOOT
A patented integrated circuitry replaces the external bootstrap diode, by means
of a high voltage DMOS, synchronously driven with the low side power MOSFET.

Application information
Ignition (time interval B Figure 5)
When the voltage at pin TCH drops down to 1.50V (typ.), the pin EOI is driven in high
impedance state and CIGN is exponentially charged according to the time constant τ given
by CIGN*RPRE that defines the ignition time and the frequency shift starts.
The ignition time is the time necessary to EOI voltage to reach 1.9V, so, by means of simple
calculation:
Equation 3
T IGN = 3 ⋅ C IGN ⋅ R PRE
During this phase, the half-bridge current control can limit the maximum voltage applied
to the lamp by forcing small frequency increases whenever the half-bridge sense resistor
voltage exceeds the HBCSH threshold (see the “Half-Bridge current control” paragraph).
Figure 5, centre and right, shows the L6585D behavior as the lamp gets older; if it doesn’t
ignite for a time longer than the pre-heating one (counted by a cycle charge/discharge of the
TCH pin), the IC is stopped, enters low consumption and waits for either a re-lamp or an
UVLO.

As the voltage at EOI exceeds 1.9V and the lamp has ignited, the L6585D enters Run mode
and remains in this condition unless one of the protections (all enabled in this mode) is
trigged.
The switching frequency reaches the FRUN value set by RRUN and COSC:

End of life – window comparator

End of life – window comparator
To detect the ageing of the lamp with particular attention to the effect appearing as
asymmetric rectification, a programmable window comparator has been introduced
(centered around “VREF” with amplitude “VW”) that triggers when the EOL-R voltage is
higher than VREF+ VW/2 or lower than VREF – VW/2.
By means of the resistor connected to the EOLP pin, it is possible to select:
1. the sensing mode:

The four possible configurations are summarized in the following table, together with the
value of resistance to be connected to the EOLP pin in order to obtain the desired setting:

Tracking reference: this setting is suitable for the block capacitor to ground configuration
(Figure 6, left).
In this case the window comparator centre is set by the CTR voltage that is internally
transferred to the EOL structure.
The effect of rectification appears as shifting of the DC voltage component across the block
capacitor, which, under normal conditions, equals one half of the PFC output voltage.
A signal proportional to the DC block capacitor voltage is sent to the EOL-R pin by means of
a resistive divider (RE1 and RE2); the dividers RE1 and RE2 and RP1 and RP2 must be
designed to set the EOL-R voltage equal to CTR under nominal condition.
Fixed reference: this setting is suitable for the lamp to ground configuration (Figure 6, right).
The effect of rectification appears as shifting of the DC lamp voltage.
A resistive divider (RE1 and RE2) senses the voltage across the lamp under normal
condition, that is an AC signal with zero average value whereas in case of asymmetric
rectification the DC value can shift either in positive or negative direction. Two Zener diodes
can be connected back-to-back between the EOL-R pin and the centre of the resistive
divider.
The Zener voltages should differ by an amount as close as possible to the double of the
internal reference to have a symmetrical detection, as it can easily obtained from the
following equations:
●
VUP = VREF + W/2 + VZ1 + VR2
●
VDOWN = VREF – W/2 – VZ2 – VR1
where VUP and VDOWN are the VK values (equal in absolute value) that trigger the window
comparator.
To avoid an immediate intervention of the EOL protection, a filtering is introduced; as long as
the fault condition persists, the Tch internal generator charges the CD up to 4.63V and then
it opens. If this fault condition is still present when the Tch voltage decreases down to 1.5V,
then the half bridge is stopped, otherwise (if the fault disappears) the counting is stopped
and reset.

Half-bridge current control
Half-bridge current control
The information about the lamp current can be obtained by reading the voltage across a
sense resistor placed in series to the source of the half-bridge low side MOS.
This circuitry is enabled at the end of the pre-heating phase and it enriches the L6585D with
two features:
●
Controlled lamp voltage/current during ignition (Figure 5): by properly setting the
sense resistor (such that the VHBCS level is crossed in correspondence of a lamp
voltage higher than the ignition voltage) it is possible to limit the maximum lamp voltage
during ignition. In case of this occurrence, then the L6585D would react with a small
frequency increase that allows limiting the lamp voltage (V+IGN). This also prevents the
risk of crossing the resonance frequency of the LBALLAST-CRES circuit. If the lamp
ignites before TCH reaches 1.50V (Figure 5 left) that is EOI has exceeded 1.9V, then:
–
EOI internal switch opens and its voltage moves asymptotically to 2V
–
The switching frequency reaches the operating one;
–
When TCH reaches 1.52, it will be discharged
If instead that the lamp hasn’t ignited after a time equal to the pre-heat time (Figure 5
right) the oscillator stops, the chip enters low consumption mode and this condition is
latched until the mains supply voltage is removed or a re-lamp is detected.
●
Over-current protection during run mode: if the HBCSL threshold is crossed, the TCH
internal generator is turned on as well as the one at pin EOI causing a frequency
increase: this implements a current control structure.
During run mode another protection is active: a second comparator (HBCSH) on the pin
HBCS detects anomalous current flow through the sense resistor such as the spikes
generated by the capacitive mode; the crossing of this second threshold latches the IC.
17/25
CTR
8
L6585D
CTR
This is a multi-function pin, connected to a resistive divider to the PFC output bus:
18/25
●
PFC over-voltage: in case of PFC output overshoot (e.g. at start-up) that causes a
threshold crossing, the PFC section stops switching until the pin voltage falls below
3.26V (typ.); this is helpful because the bandwidth of the PFC error amplifier is narrow
so the control loop is not fast enough to properly reacts
●
Feedback disconnection: The OVP function above described (together with the static
one embedded in the PFC error amplifier) is able to handle “normal” over-voltage
conditions, i.e. those resulting from an abrupt load/line change or occurring at start-up.
In case of over-voltage generated when the upper resistor of the feedback output
divider fails open, the control loop can no longer read the information on the output
voltage and will force the PFC pre-regulator to work at maximum ON time; if this occurs
(i.e. the pin INV falls below 1.2V, typ.) and the CTR detects an OVP, the gate drivers
activity is immediately stopped, the device enters low consumption and the condition is
latched as long as the IC supply voltage is above the UVLO threshold;
●
Reference for EOL in case of tracking reading.
●
Disable: by forcing the pin below 0.75V an immediate unlatched shut-down is activated;
it can be also used as re-lamp in fact after the pin voltage is above 0.8V a preheating/ignition sequence is repeated.
L6585D

Re–lamp
Re–lamp
A second comparator has been introduced on the pin EOL-R; a voltage higher than the
internal threshold is read as lamp absence so the chip suddenly stops switching, enters idle
mode (low consumption) and is ready for a new pre-heating/ignition sequence as soon as a
new lamp is inserted.
In this idle mode the consumption of the chip is reduced so that the current flowing through
the resistors (connected to the high voltage bus for the start-up) is enough to keep the VCC
voltage above the UVLO threshold.
After a re-lamp cycle (that is the EOL-R voltage is brought above 4.63V and then released
below), a new pre-heating/ignition sequence starts.

Tch
Pin for setting the preheating time and protection intervention.
Connect an RC parallel network (Rd and Cd) to ground.
Preheating: the Cd is charged by an internal current generator. When the pin
voltage reaches 4.63 V the generator is disabled and the capacitor discharges
because of Rd. Once the voltage drops below 1.5 V, the preheating finishes, the
ignition phase starts and the RdCd is pulled to ground.
Ignition and Run mode: During proper behavior of the IC, this pin is low
impedance. During a fault (either over-current or EOL) the internal generator
charges the Cd to 4.63 V and then another current generator discharges the
same capacitor. In this way, Cd sets the fault timing (shorter than preheating
time).
EOLP
Pin to program the EOL comparator.
It is possible to select both the EOL sensing method (fixed reference or
reference in tracking with CTR) and the window comparator amplitude by
connecting a resistor (REOLP) to ground.
EOL
Input for the window comparator.
It can be used to detect lamp ageing for either “lamp to ground” or “block
capacitor to ground” configurations.
This function is blanked during the ignition phase.

CTR
Input pin for:
- PFC over-voltage detection: the PFC driver is stopped until the voltage returns
in the proper operating range
- Feedback disconnection detection
- Reference for EOL comparator (in case tracking reference)
- The pin can be used also for shutdown
8
MULT
Multiplier external input. This pin is connected to the rectified mains voltage via a
voltage divider and provides the sinusoidal reference to the PFC current loop.
9
Output of the error amplifier. A compensation network is placed between this pin
COMP and INV to achieve stability of the PFC voltage control loop and ensure high
power factor and low THD.

INV
Inverting input of the error amplifier. Output voltage of the PFC pre-regulator is
fed to the pin through a voltage divider.
ZCD
Boost inductor demagnetization sensing input for PFC transition-mode
operation. A negative-going edge triggers PFC MOSFET turn-on.
During startup or when the voltage is not high enough to arm the internal
comparator, the PFC driver is triggered by means of an internal starter.
Input to the PFC PWM comparator. The current flowing through the PFC
MOSFET is sensed through a resistor. The resulting voltage is applied to this pin
and compared with an internal sinusoidal-shaped reference, generated by the
PFCCS multiplier, to determine the PFC MOSFET’ s turnoff.
A second comparison level detects abnormal currents (due to boost inductor
saturation, for example) and, on this occurrence, shuts down the PFC gate.
An internal LEB prevents undesired function triggering.

3-level half-bridge current monitor for current control.
The current flowing through the HB MOSFET is sensed through a resistor. The
resulting voltage is applied to this pin.
First level threshold (1.05 V, active during run mode): in case of threshold
crossing the IC reacts with frequency increase in order to limit the half-bridge
(and lamp) current.
Second level threshold (1.6 V, active during ignition and run mode):
- Ignition: in case of threshold crossing during the frequency shift, the IC reacts
with frequency increase in order to limit the lamp voltage and preventing
operation below resonance.
HBCS - Run mode: in case of threshold crossing because of current spikes (due, for
example, to capacitive mode / cross-conduction) longer than 200 ns the
L6585DE is latched in low consumption mode to avoid damage to the
MOSFETs.
Third level threshold (2.75 V, active during ignition and run mode):
- Ignition: in case of threshold crossing during frequency shift (e.g. caused by
choke saturation), the IC latches to avoid damage to the MOSFETs.
- Run mode: in case of threshold crossing by a hard switching event (spike
duration equal to around 40 ns) an internal counter is increased. After around
350 (typ.) subsequent hard switching events the IC is latched in low consumption
mode.

Device description
Device description
The L6585DE embeds a high performance PFC controller, a ballast controller and all the
relevant drivers necessary to build an electronic ballast.
The PFC section achieves current mode control operating in transition mode, offering a
highly linear multiplier including a THD optimizer that allows for an extremely low THD, even
over a large range of input voltages and loading conditions.
The PFC output voltage is controlled by means of a voltage-mode error amplifier and a
precise internal voltage reference.
The ballast controller offers the designer a very precise oscillator, a logic that manages all
the operating steps and a full set of protection features:
●
Programmable end-of-life detection, compliant with both lamp-to-ground and capacitorto-ground configurations
●
Over-current protection with either current limiting or choke saturation protection
●
Hard switching events detection
High current capability drivers for both the PFC (300 mA source and 600 mA sink) and the
half-bridge (290 mA source and 480 mA sink) also allow ballast designs for very high output
power (up to 160 W).

Figure 3.
5.1
L6585DE
Typical application
VCC section
The L6585DE is supplied by applying voltage between the VCC pin and GND pin. An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the IC from operating with supply voltages too low to
guarantee the correct behavior of the internal structures.
An internal voltage clamp limits the voltage to around 17 V and can deliver up to 20 mA. For
this reason it cannot be used directly as a clamp for the charge pump (current peaks usually
reach several hundreds of mA), but can be easily used during startup in order to charge the
VCC capacitor or during save mode in order to keep the IC alive, for example, connecting
VCC to input voltage through a resistor.
In addition to the bulk capacitor (>1 µF)it is suggested to place a 100 nF ceramic capacitor
close to VCC pin.

Application information
5.2
PFC section
5.2.1
TM PFC operation
The PFC stage contains all the features needed to implement a transition mode PFC
controller.
Figure 4.
PFC section
The control loop can be implemented thanks to the high performance error amplifier and the
very precise internal voltage reference that fixes the non-inverting input of the E/A to 2.52 V
± 2 %.
The control loop reacts in order to bring the inverting input to the same voltage. Connecting
the high voltage rail to INV pin, by means of a voltage divider, the output voltage will be
easily set.
The output of the E/A can be used in order to compensate the control loop with an RC
network or, more often, with a simple capacitor connected between INV and COMP pin.
The output voltage of the E/A is also fed to the multiplier. This block multiplies the waveform
present at the MULT pin by the output of the E/A. The resulting voltage will be used as the
threshold for the current sense input. An internal clamp limits the threshold to a maximum
value equal to 1 V.
In Figure 5 the characteristic curves of the multiplier are reported.
Figure 5.
Multiplier
15/33
Application information
L6585DE
The ZCD input can be connected directly to an auxiliary winding of the PFC choke in order
to turn on the MOSFET when the choke current reaches zero. This pin has internal clamps
and high current capability that makes it compliant with a very wide range of input voltage.
At startup, when PFC choke is not yet energized, an internal starter gives ZCD pulses to the
PFC gate driver with a repetition rate of approximately 15 kHz.
By turning off the MOSFET when the current reaches the threshold and turning on the
MOSFET when the choke current reaches zero, a triangular input current whose peaks are
modulated by the MULT voltage is obtained. By feeding the MULT pin with the mains
waveform, a power factor correction and THD reduction is achieved.
5.2.2
Leading edge blanking
Usually current sense voltage is filtered by means of an RC network in order to avoid false
turning off of the MOSFET because of the discharge current related to parasitic drain
capacitance present at the beginning of the on time of the MOSFET. This filtering generates
a delay between the actual threshold crossing and the input triggering. During this time the
PFC inductor current increases and the choke may saturate. A leading edge blanking
structure makes the PFCCS input active only after 200 ns (typ.) after the PFG turn on. This
allows the use of inductors with lower saturation current. However, if saturation occurs, a
choke saturation protection turns off the PFC gate as soon as the voltage at pin PFCCS is
above 1.7 V.
Figure 6.
5.2.3
PFCCS waveforms
THD optimizer feature
When the input voltage passes through zero, the PFC choke cannot store energy because
of the very low voltage across it. This may cause heavy crossover distortion and subsequent
THD degradation. A small offset voltage superimposed over the MULT voltage can reduce
this issue.
The internal THD optimizer increases the performance when the mains voltage reaches
zero; this reduces crossover distortion and avoids offset introduction.
16/33
L6585DE
5.2.4
Application information
Over-voltage protection
Two different over-voltage protections can be detected: dynamic over-voltage, usually due to
fast load transition and static over-voltage, due to an excessive input voltage.
5.2.5
●
Dynamic OVP
The CTR pin is connected to high voltage rail through a voltage divider. If the voltage at
this pin is above 3.4 V, the PFC gate driver is stopped until the voltage returns below
the threshold. This limits the risk of choke saturation and MOSFET's damage.
●
Static OVP
A steady over-voltage may cause abnormal behavior in both the PFC (e.g. because
input voltage is higher than PFC output voltage) and the ballast (e.g. overheating, lamp
over-current, capacitive mode operating point). A steady over-voltage causes a slow
transition of the COMP pin towards the low saturation (around 2.25 V). This fact is
considered by the L6585DE as a static over-voltage event and a Tch cycle is started.
After this cycle, if the COMP pin is saturated low the IC is latched in low consumption
mode.
Disabling the L6585DE
the CTR pin can be used to shut down the IC without mains disconnection. When CTR is
pulled below 0.75 V, the IC is stopped and the internal logic is reset. When CTR is released,
the IC starts with a new preheating sequence. This function is available only if the IC is not
latched due to a fault protection intervention.
5.2.6
Feedback disconnection protection
Very fast output voltage surges may damage the upper resistors of the voltage divider
feeding the INV pin, causing a feedback disconnection. In this case, the E/A saturates high
and the PFC gate drive turns on the MOSFET for a long time (the current sense threshold
assumes its maximum value equal to 1 V) and the choke may saturate, destroying the
MOSFET.
The output voltage increases very fast and may reach very high value even if OVP is
triggered.
Feedback disconnection protection is then activated if VINV < 1.2 V and dynamic overvoltage protection is triggered.
5.2.7
PFC over-current protection
The PFC MOSFET over-current can occur in cases of PFC choke saturation or in cases of
surge from the input, due to the breakdown of the MOSFET body diode. The latter case is
observed together with an over-voltage of the PFC output.
In both cases, the PFC stage is stopped, whereas the HB stage continues switching. The
protection is not latched: once the PFCCS falls below 1.7 V, the PFC driver restarts.

Half-bridge drivers and integrated bootstrap diode
The half-bridge drivers are capable of 290 mA source and 480 mA sink current. This makes
them able to effectively drive also big MOSFETs Cg up to 2.2 nF. The high-side MOSFET is
driven by means of a bootstrapped structure reducing the number of external components.
6.2
Normal start-up description
Referring to Figure 7, normal startup proceeds as follows:
Figure 7.
18/33
Normal start-up procedure
1.
Startup: As soon as Vcc reaches the startup threshold voltage references are built up,
the RF and EOLP pin are biased, the EOI pin is pulled down and the TCH pin starts
sourcing 31 µA. The frequency of the half-bridge is generated by an internal CCO,
connected to COSC and using the RF current as the control signal. With the EOI pin
pulled down, the startup frequency will be due to the current flowing in parallel with
RPRE and RRUN (see typical application diagram).
2.
Preheating: the TCH pin continues to source 31 µA until its voltage reaches 4.63 V,
therefore it is left in a high impedance status. As this pin loaded with an RC parallel
network, the voltage across this pin decreases exponentially. When it reaches 1.5 V the
TCH pin is pulled down and the preheating time ends. During this sequence the EOI
pin is pulled down and the half-bridge frequency is the startup frequency. A leading
L6585DE
Ballast section
edge blanking is active during this time in order to avoid any detection of hard switching
events, very common during this phase.
3.
Ignition: At the end of the TCH cycle, the EOI pin is left free in high impedance mode.
Therefore, the capacitor connected between EOI and ground is charged by RF through
RPRE. The current sunk from the RF pin decreases exponentially, and the frequency
along with it. An exponential decrease in switching frequency causes a linear increase
of the lamp voltage. When the lamp voltage reaches the strike value, the lamp ignites.
Ignition time is set by the value of RPRE and CIGN.
During ignition current control protection, anti-ballast choke saturation protection and
leading edge blanking are all active.

Half-bridge protection thresholds during ignition
Run mode: When the EOI voltage reaches 1.9 V, the IC enters run mode and the
switching frequency is set only by RRUN. Current control protection and anti-ballast
choke saturation are now active with a lower threshold, leading edge blanking is not
active and a fast hard switching detector is activated.

The oscillator characteristic curves represent the half bridge frequency versus the
resistance R placed between RF pin and ground. During preheating R is equal to RRUN in
parallel with RPRE whereas during Run mode R is equal to RRUN. Each curve is related to a
value of the COSC capacitor and are depicted in Figure 10.
The value of COSC is measured between pin 1 (OSC) and 15 (GND); for other capacitor
values please refer to AN2870.
The right value of R during preheating and run mode can be found graphically considering
the curve related with the chosen capacitor and respectively FPRE and FRUN“

Startup sequence with old or damaged lamps
When an old lamp is connected to the ballast the strike voltage is higher than the nominal
voltage and may also be higher than the safety threshold. In this case the lamp can ignite in
a time longer than ignition time or may not ignite. In both cases, during ignition time,
because of the frequency decrease, the voltage at the output of the ballast can easily reach
dangerous values.
The same occurs if the lamp tube is broken: the lamp cannot ignite and the lamp voltage
must be limited.
During ignition time, the L6585DE senses the current flowing into the lamp through a sense
resistor connected to the HBCS pin. If the HBCS pin voltage reaches 1.6 V, a small amount
of current is sunk from the EOI pin causing a small frequency increase. This frequency
modification results, macroscopically, in a frequency regulation and therefore a current
regulation and a lamp voltage limiting.
As soon as the HBCS pin voltage reaches 1.6 V, the TCH pin starts to charge Cd: when the
TCH voltage reaches 4.63 V, the TCH pin is no longer left free (as during preheating), but it
sinks 26 uA, causing a faster discharge of Cd. When the TCH voltage reaches 1.5 V, the pin
is pulled down and HBCS voltage is checked. If it is above 1.05 V the IC is stopped.
If the lamp ignites during this reduced TCH cycle, the EOI pin stops sinking current and if it
reaches 1.9 V, the IC enters run mode and TCH pin is immediately pulled down.
Figure 11. Startup procedures with old or damaged lamps
It can be noted that the reduced TCH cycle time depends only on the value of Cd. It is
suggested to start from the choice of Cd in order to obtain the protection time, and then can
proceed to the choice of Rd to obtain the desired TPRE.

Old lamp management during run mode
During run mode, an old lamp can exhibit three different abnormal behaviors:
●
Rectifying effect
6.5
●
Over-current
●
Hard switching event
Rectifying effect
The rectifying effect is related to a differential increase of the ohmic resistance of the two
cathodes. The lamp equivalent resistance is therefore higher when the lamp current flows in
one direction than in the other. The current waveform is distorted and the mean value of the
lamp current is no longer zero. The EOL pin is the input of an internal window comparator
that can be triggered by a voltage variation due to rectifying effect.
The reference of this comparator and the amplitude of the window can be set by connecting
a suitable resistor to EOLP pin as indicated in following table:
Table 5.

240 mV
220 k ÷ 270 k
VCTR
+ 250 mV / -240 mV
> 680 k
2.5 V
720 mV
The reference of this comparator can be set at a fixed voltage or at the same voltage as the
CTR pin.
The fixed reference configuration (see Figure 12) can be used when the lamp is connected
to ground, and requires two Zener diodes in order to shift the mean value of the lamp
voltage to 2.5 V. The values of the two Zeners affect the symmetry of the intervention of the
protection: the best symmetry is obtained choosing two values whose difference is equal to
twice the reference voltage:
●
VUP = VREF + VZ2 + VF1 + W/2
●
VDOWN = VREF – (VZ1 + VF2) – W/2
●
VUP = - VDOWN
●
2 VREF = VZ1 − VZ2
Where VUP and VDOWN are the maximum allowed values of VK
The tracking configuration (see Figure 13) is useful when the lamp is connected between
choke and blocking capacitor in the block capacitor-to-ground configuration. In this
configuration the voltage across the blocking capacitor is affected by the voltage ripple
superimposed on the PFC output. Using a reference affected by the same ripple helps to
reject it and avoid premature triggering of the comparator.
As soon as the comparator is triggered, a Tch cycle starts in order to improve the noise
immunity.

Over-current protection
The appearance of over-current and hard switching events are related to a symmetrical
increase of the ohmic resistance of the two cathodes. The overall effect results in an
increased equivalent resistance of the lamp and a subsequent modification of the
resonance curve of the resonance network (see Figure 14).
Figure 14. Resonance curve modification due to lamp ageing
Old lamp
frun
New lamp
The increasing of the resonant peak causes over-current that is managed by the L6585DE
in the same way as in ignition mode, but the limiting threshold and checking threshold are
respectively 1.05 V and 0.82 V.
6.7
Hard switching protection
When FRUN is equal to the peak of the resonance curve, the load seen by the half-bridge is
purely resistive. In this case, zero voltage switching is no longer present and the MOSFET
experiences high current spikes at turn on. The voltage at HBCS pin shows these peaks
whose voltage value can be greater than 3 V with a duration that depends on how close the
resonant frequency and the operating frequency are. Typical values go from 40 ns to around
200 ns. These spikes may overheat the MOSFETs but, if correctly detected, can prevent the
risk of working below the resonance frequency (capacitive mode).
The L6585DE can detect these spikes by means of a 2.75 V threshold on HBCS pin, and a
counter that shuts down the IC if 350 (typ.) subsequent spikes are detected.
This protection is blanked both during preheating and ignition.
6.8
Choke saturation protection
Ballast choke saturation implies that very high currents flow into resonance network and an
almost instant modification of the resonance curve occurs in a way that the operating point
lies immediately in capacitive mode. Steady operation in capacitive mode heavily damages
the ballast.

Therefore, in ignition and run mode a comparator, connected to the HBCS pin, is active with
a threshold respectively equal to 2.75 V and 1.6 V. It senses very high currents flowing in the
ballast sense resistor and immediately latches the IC in low consumption mode. The width
of the triggering spike is above 200 ns. This guarantees that, during run mode, hard
switching events (typical duration between 40 ns and 100 ns) cannot trigger the comparator.
However, hard switching protection and anti-saturation protection are not perfectly
independent. Regarding the pulse width we can indicate four different regions:
26/33
a)
Spikes with a duration less than 40 ns: (noise region) no protection can be
triggered.
b)
Spikes with a duration between 40 ns and 100 ns: (HSw region) only hard
switching protection will be activated after around 420 events.
c)
Spikes with a duration between 100 ns and 200 ns: (uncertainty region) hard
switching protection is activated, but also anti-saturation protection can be
activated, which may result in a sort of early activation of hard switching protection
or retarded activation of anti-saturation protection (in this case the saturation of the
choke won’t be deep).
d)
Spikes with a duration longer than 200 ns: (ASP region) anti-saturation protection
will certainly be activated at the first event.
