current is available over all ballast operating conditions. An
external bootstrap diode (DBOOT) and the supply capacitor (CBOOT)
comprise the supply voltage for the high side driver circuitry. To
guarantee that the high-side supply is charged up before the first
pulse on pin HO, the first pulse from the output drivers comes
from the LO pin. During undervoltage lock-out mode, the highand low-side driver outputs HO and LO are both low, pin CT is
connected internally to COM to disable the oscillator, and pin
CPH is connected internally to COM for resetting the preheat
time.
Functional Description
Under-voltage Lock-out Mode (UVLO)
The under-voltage lock-out mode (UVLO) is defined as the
state the IC is in when VCC is below the turn-on threshold of the
IC. To identify the different modes of the IC, refer to the State
Diagram shown on page 2 of this document. The IR2156
undervoltage lock-out is designed to maintain an ultra low supply
current of less than 200uA, and to guarantee the IC is fully
functional before the high and low side output drivers are
activated. Figure 1 shows an efficient supply voltage using the
start-up current of the IRS2156 together with a charge pump from
the ballast output stage (RSUPPLY , CVCC, DCP1 and DCP2).
Preheat Mode (PH)
The preheat mode is defined as the state the IC is in when
the lamp filaments are being heated to their correct emission
temperature. This is necessary for maximizing lamp life and
reducing the required ignition voltage. The IR2156 enters preheat
mode when VCC exceeds the VCCUV+ positive-going threshold.
HO and LO begin to oscillate at the preheat frequency with 50%
duty cycle and with a dead-time which is set by the value of the
external timing capacitor, CT, and internal deadtime resistor,
RDT. Pin CPH is disconnected from COM and an internal 4uA
current source (Figure 3) charges the external preheat timing
capacitor on CPH linearly. The over-current protection on pin CS
is disabled during preheat.

The start-up capacitor (CVCC) is charged by current through
supply resistor (RSUPPLY) minus the start-up current drawn by the
IC. This resistor is chosen to provide 2X the maximum start-up
current to guarantee ballast start-up at low line input voltage.
Once the capacitor voltage on VCC reaches the start-up threshold
VCCUV+, and the SD pin is below VSDTH-, the IC turns on and
HO and LO begin to oscillate. The capacitor begins to discharge
due to the increase in IC operating current (Figure 2).

ZENER CLAMP VOLTAGE
The preheat frequency is determined by the parallel
combination of resistors RT and RPH, together with timing
capacitor CT. CT charges and discharges between 1/3 and 3/5 of
VCC (see Timing Diagram, page 9). CT is charged exponentially
through the parallel combination of RT and RPH connected
internally to VCC through MOSFET S1. The charge time of CT
from 1/3 to 3/5 VCC is the on-time of the respective output gate
driver, HO or LO. Once CT exceeds 3/5 VCC, MOSFET S1 is
turned off, disconnecting RT and RPH from VCC. CT is then
discharged exponentially through an internal resistor, RDT,
through MOSFET S3 to COM. The discharge time of CT from 3/5
to 1/3 VCC is the dead-time (both off) of the output gate drivers,
HO and LO. The selected value of CT together with RDT
therefore program the desired dead-time (see Design Equations,
page 12, Equations 1 and 2). Once CT discharges below 1/3
VCC, MOSFET S3 is turned off, disconnecting RDT from COM,
and MOSFET S1 is turned on, connecting RT and RPH again to
VCC. The frequency remains at the preheat frequency until the
voltage on pin CPH exceeds 13V and the IC enters Ignition Mode.

DC bus under-voltage reset are enabled when pin CPH exceeds
7.5V.
DC Bus Under-voltage Reset
Ignition Mode (IGN)
Should the DC bus decrease too low during a brown-out
line condition or over-load condition, the resonant output stage to
the lamp can shift near or below resonance. This can produce
hard-switching at the half-bridge which can damage the halfbridge switches. To protect against this, pin VDC measures the
DC bus voltage and pulls down on pin CPH linearly as the voltage
on pin VDC decreases 10.9V below VCC. This causes the pchannel MOSFET S4 (Figure 4) to close as the DC bus
decreases and the frequency to shift higher to a safe operating
point above resonance. The DC bus level at which the frequency
shifting occurs is set by the external RBUS resistor and internal
RVDC resistor. By pulling down on pin CPH, the ignition ramp is
also reset. Therefore, should the lamp extinguish due to very low
DC bus levels, the lamp will be automatically ignited as the DC
bus increases again. The internal RVDC resistor is connected
between pin VDC and COM when CPH exceeds 7.5V (during
preheat mode).
The ignition mode is defined as the state the IC is in when a
high voltage is being established across the lamp necessary for
igniting the lamp. The IR2156 enters ignition mode when the
voltage on pin CPH exceeds 13V.

Should the voltage at the current sensing pin, CS, exceed

and both gate driver outputs, HO and LO, are latched in the ‘low’
state. CPH is discharged to COM for resetting the preheat time,
and CT is discharged to COM for disabling the oscillator. To exit
fault mode, VCC must be recycled back below the UVLO
negative-going turn-off threshold, or, the shutdown pin, SD, must
be pulled above VSDTH+. Either of these will force the IC to enter
UVLO mode (see State Diagram, page 2). Once VCC is above
VCCUV+ and SD is below 4.5V, the IC will begin oscillating again
in the preheat mode.

Figure 4, Ignition circuitry.
Pin CPH is connected internally to the gate of a p-channel
MOSFET (S4) (see Figure 4) that connects pin RPH with pin RT.
As pin CPH exceeds 13V, the gate-to-source voltage of MOSFET
S4 begins to fall below the turn-on threshold of S4. As pin CPH
continues to ramp towards VCC, switch S4 turns off slowly. This
results in resistor RPH being disconnected smoothly from resistor
RT, which causes the operating frequency to ramp smoothly from
the preheat frequency, through the ignition frequency, to the final
run frequency. The over-current threshold on pin CS will protect
the ballast against a non-strike or open-filament lamp fault
condition. The voltage on pin CS is defined by the lower halfbridge MOSFET current flowing through the external current
sensing resistor RCS. The resistor RCS therefore programs the
maximum allowable peak ignition current (and therefore peak
ignition voltage) of the ballast output stage. The peak ignition
current must not exceed the maximum allowable current ratings of
the output stage MOSFETs. Should this voltage exceed the
internal threshold of 1.3V, the IC will enter FAULT mode and both
gate driver outputs HO and LO will be latched low.
Run Mode (RUN)
Once the lamp has successfully ignited, the ballast enters
run mode. The run mode is defined as the state the IC is in when
the lamp arc is established and the lamp is being driven to a given
power level. The run mode oscillating frequency is determined by
the timing resistor RT and timing capacitor CT (see Design
Equations, page 12, Equations 3 and 4). Should hard-switching
occur at the half-bridge at any time due to an open-filament or
lamp removal, the voltage across the current sensing resistor,
RCS, will exceed the internal threshold of 1.3 volts and the IC will
enter FAULT mode. Both gate driver outputs, HO and LO, will be
latched low.

Note: The results from the following design equations can differ
slightly from experimental measurements due to IC tolerances,
component tolerances, and oscillator over- and under-shoot due
to internal comparator response time.

Step 1: Program Dead-time
The dead-time between the gate driver outputs HO and LO is
programmed with timing capacitor CT and an internal dead-time
resistor RDT. The dead-time is the discharge time of capacitor CT
from 3/5VCC to 1/3VCC and is given as:

The final run frequency is programmed with timing resistor RT

resonance during ignition and the lamp does not ignite. The
