PFC circuitry provides for high PF, low THD and DC Bus regulation. Externally programmable features such as preheat time & frequency, ignition ramp characteristics, and running mode operating frequency provide a high degree of flexibility for the ballast design engineer. Comprehensive protection features such as protection from failure of a lamp to strike, filament failures, low AC line conditions, thermal overload, or lamp failure during normal operation, as well as an automatic restart function, have been included in the design. The heart of the ballast control section is a variable frequency oscillator with externally programmmable deadtime. Precise control of a 50% duty cycle is accomplished using a T-flip-flop. The IR2167 is available in both 20-pin DIP and 20-pin wide body SOIC packages.

(To identify the different modes of the IC, refer to the State Diagram shown on page 2 of this document). During undervoltage lock-out mode, the HO, LO and PFC driver outputs are low and the CT pin is connected to COM through resistor RDT to disable the oscillator. Also, the internal supply to the RT pin circuitry is shut off and pins CPH, RUN, DT and COMP are internally pulled to COM. The IR2167 undervoltage lock-out mode is designed to maintain a very low supply current of less than 200µA, and to guarantee the IC is fully functional before the high side, low side and PFC drivers are activated. Figure 1 shows an efficient supply using the start-up current of the IR2167 together with a charge pump from the ballast stage (RSUPPLY, CVCC, DCP1 and DCP2). by the IC. The value of (RSUPPLY) 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 the VCC pin reaches the start-up threshold, the SD lead is below 5.1 volts and VVDC is greater than 5.1V, the IC turns on and LO and HO begin to oscillate. PFC does not begin to oscillate until the IC reaches Preheat Mode. Preheat Mode Startup Mode The IR2167 enters Preheat mode when VCC exceeds the UVLO positive-going threshold. Before Preheat mode begins, the CPH and RPH pins are connected to COM. (See Figure 3). As Preheat begins, the external capacitor CPH is charged up by an internal 3 µ A current source. CPH determines the preheat time which continues until the voltage on the CPH pin charges to 4.0V. 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. At the onset of Preheat Mode, CVCC begins to discharge due to the increase in IC operating current (Figure 2) above the available current through resistor RSUPPLY. However, the half-bridge output also begins to oscillate and the charge pump, consisting of CSNUBBER, DCP1 and DCP2, supply the current to charge capacitor CVCC and thus the voltage to the IC.

Bootstrap diode (DBS) and supply capacitor (CBS) 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 HO, the first pulse from the output drivers comes from the LO pin. The Preheat mode oscillation frequency of the half-bridge output is determined by the parallel combination of RPH and RT with the values of CT, RDT and an internal circuit as M1 turns off and CRAMP begins to charge. CRAMP determines the time it takes for the oscillator to ramp down from the Preheat frequency to the Ignition Mode frequency. Once the voltage on the RPH lead reaches 2.0V, external resistor RPH has no effect on the frequency that is now determined by external components RT, CT and RDT. This is the minimum frequency. By this time, the oscillator will have ramped down toward the resonance of the load circuit causing the lamp to ignite.

Note that at the onset of Preheat mode the initial startup frequency is much higher than the preheat frequency. The half-bridge output frequency then ramps down from this initial start-up frequency to the Preheat mode frequency. This is to ensure that the instantaneous voltage across the lamp during the first few cycles of operation does not exceed the strike potential of the lamp Run Mode When the voltage on the CPH pin reaches 5.1V, the IC enters Run mode. At this time, the output of COMP1 (figure 3) goes high which turns M2 on and pulls the RUN pin to COM. The frequency is now controlled by external components RT, RRUN, CT and RDT. In certain cases it is necessary to have the run frequency higher than the ignition frequency to control the power used by the load. Figure 4 shows the ballast control sequence explained in the previous paragraphs Ignition Mode When the CPH pin charges up to 4.0V, ignition mode begins. At this time, the output of COMP2 (figure 3) goes low, 16 www.irf.com IR2167(S) fStart frequency fPH fRun fmin t 5V VCPH 2V VRPH Figure 5: Oscillator Waveforms This falling portion of the sawtooth waveform is referred to as deadtime, during which both HO and LO outputs are low. The deadtime can be programmed by means of the external RDT resistor. Preheat mode Ignition Run mode Ramp mode 2V VRUN Figure 4: IR2167 Ballast Control Sequence The control sequence used in the IR2167 allows the Run mode operating frequency of the ballast to be higher than the ignition frequency (i.e., fstart > fph > frun > fign). This control sequence is recommended for lamp types where the ignition frequency is too close to the run frequency to ensure proper lamp striking for all production resonant LC component tolerances (please note that it is possible to use the IR2167 in systems where fstart > fph > fign > frun, simply by leaving the RUN pin open). The heart of this controller is an oscillator that resembles those found in many popular PWM voltage regulator ICs. In its simplest form, this oscillator consists of a timing resistor and capacitor connected to ground. The voltage across the timing capacitor CT is a sawtooth, where the rising portion of the ramp is determined by the current in the RT lead, and the falling portion of the ramp is determined by an external deadtime resistor RDT. The oscillograph in Figure 5 illustrates the relationship between the oscillator capacitor waveform and the gate driver outputs. The RT input is a voltage-controlled current source, where the voltage is regulated to be approximately 2.0V. In order to maintain proper linearity between the RT pin current and the CT capacitor charging current, the value of the RT pin current should be kept between 50µA and 500µA. The RT pin can also be used as a feedback point for closed loop control. PFC Section In most AC to DC power converters it is necessary to have the circuit act as a pure resistive load to the AC input line voltage. To achieve this, active power factor correction (PFC) can be implimented which, for an AC input line voltage, produces an AC input line current. It is also important to produce a sinusoidal input current which has a low total harmonic distortion (THD) and a high power factor (PF) (See Figure 6). . www.irf.com 17 IR2167(S) Figure 7: Inductor Current Figure 6: Input Voltage & Current PF=0.96, THD=22% The approach used in the IR2167 is classified as running in critical conduction mode, in which the inductor current discharges to zero with each switching cycle. There is no need to sense the rectified AC line input voltage because it is already sinusoidal. Therefore, the inductor current will naturally follow the sinusoidal voltage envelope as the PFC MOSFET is turned on and off at a much higher frequency (>10KHz) than the line input frequency (50 to 60Hz). The circuit compares the DC Bus voltage to a fixed reference voltage to determine the on-time of the PFC MOSFET. The off-time is determined by the time it takes the LPFC current to drop to zero. This zero current level is detected by a secondary winding in LPFC that is connected to the ZX pin. The result is a system where the switching frequency is freerunning and constantly changing from a high frequency near the zero crossing of the AC input line voltage, to a lower frequency at the peaks. (See Figures 7, 8 & 9). Figure 8: Boost Inductor Envelope & Line Voltage ILPFC 0 PFC pin 0 ZX pin 0 near peak region of rectified AC line near zero crossing region of rectified AC line Figure 9: Boost FET On Time vs Line Input 18 www.irf.com IR2167(S) As the external capacitor on the COMP pin begins to charge, the PFC MOSFET on time duration increases. The gain of OTA1 is at its maximum value (See Figures 10 & 11). Maximum gain is desireable to raise the Bus voltage to its nominal value as quickly as possible. When the voltage at the VBUS pin reaches 3V, the gain of OTA1 decreases to its MOSFET is turned on with minimum on time and LPFC is shorted to ground and begins charging. The PFC MOSFET then turns off and LPFC begins to discharge into the DC BUS capacitor.

The BUS voltage continues to increase to its nominal value at which time the voltage measured at the VBUS pin equals 4V. The gain of OTA1 now increases to its maximum value and remains there until the Run mode. This is necessary because if VBUS overshoots its nominal value, the circuit can react quickly to correct the error. Also, during ignition, there is a sudden increase in load current which can cause the Bus voltage to sag. With maximum gain, OTA1 can quickly restore the DC Bus voltage to its nominal value. When the AC line voltage is applied to the ballast, VCC rises to 15V. The PFC section is not enabled until the beginning of the Preheat mode of operation. By not enabling the PFC section until the beginning of the Preheat mode, the DC Bus voltage in the ballast is not yet boosted to its nominal running value. This helps alleviate the initial flash of the lamp when the half-bridge driver section first begins to switch. When the PFC circuit is first enabled, (See Figure 10), the voltage at the VBUS and COMP pins is low. The PFC the PFC MOSFET will not turn on again until the voltage at the VBUS pin drops to approximately 4.0V. This effectively limits ths maximum bus voltage to approximately 8% greater than the regulated level. In some instances, the line voltage may be too high. This causes the AC rectified line current to directly charge the DC Bus capacitor without being boosted. Since the current never drops to zero, the ZX pin never goes high and the PFC MOSFET never turns on. The Watch Dog Timer circuit provides a pulse to turn on the PFC MOSFET if no pulse is detected at the ZX pin for 500mS. This enables the PFC circuitry to regulate the DC Bus voltage at its nominal value www.irf.com 19 IR2167(S) VVBUS 4.3 4.0 3.0 0 6.0 5.1 5.0 4.0 DRIVE SIGNALS VCPH 2.0 0 6.0 4.0 VCOMP 2.0 0 Note 1 ICOMP 0 Note 1 Note 1 Note 1 RESULTANT SIGNALS 1000 gm (max) 200 0 QUICK START MODE POWER UP MODE POWER BOOST MODE RUN MODE Note 1: ICOMP in these regions is the output saturation current of the OTA Error amplifier Figure 11: PFC Timing Sequence 20 www.irf.com IR2167(S) Lamp Protection & Automatic Restart Circuitry Operation +VBUS R1 VDC 1 3.0V S R Q Q from oscillator section R2 C1 2 5.1V 1.0uA CPH 9.5V 5.1V QUICK RESTART LOGIC T R 4.0V Q Q Q2 R3 Q Q Q S R Q D CLK R 0.2V CS 14 RCS R4 DT 7 OVERTEMP DETECT FAULT COUNTER 7.6V C3 2V 3V 1meg R5 50uA OC 8 ROC COC 7.6V UNDERVOLTAGE DETECT VCC SD 13 C2 R6 R7 C4 from upper lamp cathode 1V 7.6V 5.1V from lower lamp cathode Figure 12: Lamp Protection & Automatic Restart circuitry block diagram with external component connection Sensing the AC Line Voltage The first of these protection pins senses the voltage on the AC line by means of an external resistor divider (R1, R2 and capacitor C1) and an internal comparator with hysterisis. When power is first supplied to the IC at system startup, three conditions are required before oscillation is initiated: 1.) the voltage on the VCC pin must exceed the rising undervoltage lockout threshold (11.5V), 2.) the voltage at the VDC pin must exceed 5.1V, and 3.) the voltage on the SD pin must be below approximately 4.85V. If a low ac line condition occurs during normal operation, or if power to the ballast is shut off, the ac line will collapse prior to the VCC of the chip (assuming theVCC is derived from a charge pump off of the output of the half-bridge). In this case, the voltage on the VDC pin will shut the oscillator off, thereby protecting the power transistors from potentially hazardous hard switching. Approximately 2V of hysterisis has been designed into the internal comparator sensing the VDC pin, in order to account for variations in the ac line voltage under varying load conditions. When the ac line recovers, the chip restarts from the beginning of the control sequence, as shown in timing diagram (See Figure 13). www.irf.com 21 IR2167(S) 5 VDC 3 4 CT automatically restarts the lamp in the proper manner. In the Run mode there are two additional thresholds enabled on the SD pin: 1V and 3V. These thresholds form a window and during normal lamp running the voltage appearing at the SD pin is maintained within these two levels. As a lamp nears its end-of-life, its running voltage will increase and the signal applied to the SD pin detects this by exceeding the window threshold width. The oscillator is disabled, both gate driver outputs are pulled low, and the chip is put into the micropower mode. 8 CPH VDC HO + rectified AC Line 1 CPH + VBUS 20 VS RGHS CBS RSupply CBLOCK LRES 15 RPH 2 3 19 VB LO 18 VCC CSNUBBER D1 RT DBOOT CVCC IR2167 4 RUN 17 COM 5 CT 16 D2 LO CRES 6 15 CS 15 DT R3 RGLS R5 D3 R4 7 OC 14 SD R6 HO-VS 8 COMP 13 PFC 9 ZX 12 VBUS C2 RCS C3 C4 R7 10 11 RUN mode Low VDC Restart VBUS return Figure 13: VDC lead fault and auto restart Figure 14: Lamp presence detection circuit connection (shaded area) Lamp Presence and End-of-Life Detection The second protection pin, SD, is used for both shutdown and end-of-life detection. The SD pin would normally be connected to an external circuit that senses the presence of the lamp(s) and the voltage appearing across the lamp(s). An example circuit for a single lamp is shown in Figure 14. During all modes of operation if the SD pin exceeds 5.1V (approximately 150mV of hysterisis is included to increase noise immunity), signaling either a lamp fault or lamp removal, the oscillator is disabled, both gate driver outputs are pulled low, and the chip is put into the micropower mode. Since a lamp fault would normally lead to a lamp exchange, when a new lamp is inserted in the fixture, the SD pin would be pulled back to near ground potential. Under these conditions a reset signal would restart the chip from the beginning of the control sequence, as shown in the timing diagram in Figure 15.

The CS pin is used to sense fault conditions such as failure of a lamp to strike, over-current during normal operation, hard switching, no load, and operation below resonance. If any one of these conditions is sensed, the fault latch is set, the oscillator is disabled, the gate driver outputs go low, and the chip is put into the micropower mode. The CS lead performs its sensing functions on a cycle-by-cycle basis in order to maximize ballast reliability. For the over-current, failure-to-strike, and hard switching fault conditions, an externally programmable, positive-going CS+ threshold is enabled at the end of the preheat time. The level of this positive-going threshold is determined by the value of the resistor ROC. The value of the resistor ROC is determined by the following formula: Figure 16: Half-bridge current sensing circuit connection (shaded area) For the under-current and under-resonance conditions, there is a negative-going CS- threshold of 0.2V which is enabled at the onset of the run mode. The sensing of this CSthreshold is synchronized with the falling edge of the LO output. Figures 17, 18 and 19 are oscillographs of fault conditions. Figure 17 shows a failure of the lamp to strike, Figure 18 shows a hard switching condition and Figure 19 shows an under-current condition. www.irf.com 23 IR2167(S) Figure 17: Failure of lamp to strike Figure 19: Operation below resonance Figure 18: Hard switching condition Figure 20: Auto restart for lamp replacement 24 www.irf.com IR2167(S) Recovery from such a fault condition is accomplished by cycling either the SD pin or the VCC pin. (See Figure 20). When a lamp is removed, the SD pin goes high, the fault latch is reset, and the chip is held off in an unlatched state. Lamp replacement causes the SD pin to go low again, reinitiating the startup sequence. The fault latch can also be reset by the undervoltage lockout signal, if VCC falls below the lower undervoltage threshold. this CMOS circuitry is very low (typically 45µA in the onstate), the majority of the drop in the VBS voltage when Q1 is on occurs due to the transfer of charge from the bootstrap capacitor to the gate of the power MOSFET. Design Equations 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 Maximum Ignition Voltage Bootstrap Supply Considerations Power is normally supplied to the high-side circuitry by means of a simple charge pump from VCC, as shown in Figure 21. rectified AC line VDC HO +V BUS 1 CPH 20 VS Q1 R GHS 1/ 2 2 RPH 19 VB C BOOT DBOOT Bridge output 3 18 RSUPPLY D1 C SNUBBER RT VCC 4 RUN 17 COM 5 CT 16 LO CVCC Q2 Maximum lamp voltage is required during ignition. This will vary depending on the type of lamp, but 1600V is typical for a T8 lamp. As the frequency decreases from the preheat frequency to the resonant frequency, the voltage across the lamp increases. During ignition, only RT along with CT and DT determine the frequency. R PH and R RUN are not connected to COM at this time. The value of RT should be chosen so that the desired ignition voltage is reached. The RT pin current and timing capacitor charging current are both approximately: IR2167 6 DT 15 CS R GLS R3 D2 7 OC 14 SD I CT = I RT = 2.0V RT 8 COMP 13 PFC 9 ZX 12 VBUS RCS 10 11 VBUS return The value of this current should be kept between 50 µA and 500 µA. The value for CT is computed as follows: Figure 21 : Typical bootstrap supply connection with VCC charge pump from half-bridge output (shaded area) A high voltage, fast recovery diode DBOOT (the so-called bootstrap diode) is connected between VCC (anode) and VB (cathode), and a capacitor CBOOT (the so-called bootstrap capacitor) is connected between the VB and VS leads. During half-bridge switching, when MOSFET Q2 is on and Q1 is off, the bootstrap capacitor CBOOT is charged from the VCC decoupling capacitor, through the bootstrap diode DBOOT, and through Q2. Alternately, when Q2 is off and Q1 is on, the bootstrap diode is reverse-biased, and the bootstrap capacitor (which ‘floats’ on the source of the upper power MOSFET) serves as the power supply to the upper gate driver CMOS circuitry.

The saturation current of the lamp resonant inductor should be much lower than the current rating of the MOSFETS. Under worst case conditions, the lamp resonant inductor should not be allowed to saturate. This current is controlled by the CS pin and the OC pin. The OC lead has an internal 50µA current source. This current through external resistor ROC determines the threshold on the CS pin. Step 4: Program preheat time The preheat time is determined by external capacitor CPH. The preheat time required for a 4:1 hot to cold ratio can be observed by measuring the voltage across the filaments. The preheat time is calculated as follows: tPH = 4.0 E 6 ⋅ CPH The IR2167 is held in preheat until CPH is charged to 4.0V. Step 5: Program the ignition mode time The difference in time between the preheat mode and the run mode is the ignition mode. The rate at which the frequency changes from preheat to run is determined by external resistor RRAMP. ROC = VCS + or 55E − 6 VCS + = 55E − 6 − ROC If the current through external resistor RCS exceeds a predetermined value, the IC shuts off. Step 6. Program the run frequency Step 3: Program Preheat Frequency The preheat frequency is determined by the parallel combination of RPH and RT along with CT and RDT. The frequency should be chosen so that the voltage across the lamp is much lower than the ignition voltage but still provides adequate heating of the filaments. During preheat, the current through the filaments is constant. However, as the filaments heat up, their resistance increases. This results in an increase in the voltage measured across the filaments, which indicates the hot to cold ratio. The run mode begins when external resistor RPH is charged to 5.1V. At this time, the run frequency is determined by the parallel combination of RT and RRUN along with RDT and CT. The run frequency can be programmed above or below the ignition frequency. fRUN is determined by the following equation: f RUN = 1  R ⋅R  2 ⋅  T RUN ⋅ CT + td   R +R RUN T  1 CT f PH = 1  R ⋅R  2 ⋅  T PH ⋅ CT + td  R +R  PH T  1 CT RRUN RPH 1     2 f − td   ph  =  1 1  1− − td   RT ⋅ CT  2 f ph   1   − td  2f   RUN  = 1  1  1− − td    RT ⋅ CT  2 f RUN  4:1 is an acceptable ratio for proper heating www.irf.com 27 IR2167(S) Component Selection Tips Supply Bypassing and pc Board Layout Rules Component selection and placement on the pc board is extremely important when using power control ICs. VCC should be bypassed to COM as close to the IC terminals as possible with a low ESR/ESL capacitor, as shown in Figure 25. (surface mount) CBOOT Connecting the IC Ground (COM) to the Power Ground Both the low power control circuitry and low side gate driver output stage grounds return to this lead within the IC. The COM lead should be connected to the bottom terminal of the current sense resistor in the source of the low side power MOSFET using an individual pc board trace, as shown in Figure 26. In addition, the ground return path of the timing components and VCC decoupling capacitor should be connected directly to the IC COM lead, and not via separate traces or jumpers to other ground traces on the board.

This decoupling capacitor can be split between a higher valued electrolytic type and a lower valued ceramic type connected in parallel, although a good quality electrolytic (e.g., 10µF) placed immediately adjacent to the VCC and COM terminals will work well. In a typical application circuit, the supply voltage to the IC is normally derived by means of a high value startup resistor (1/4W) from the rectified line voltage, in combination with a charge pump from the output of the half-bridge. With this type of supply arrangement, the internal 15.6V zener clamp diode from VCC to COM will determine the steady state IC supply voltage. These connection techniques prevent high current ground loops from interfering with sensitive timing component operation, and allows the entire control circuit to reject common-mode noise due to output switching. 28 www.irf.com IR2167(S) Caseoutline 20 Lead SOIC (wide body) (MS-013AC) 01-3080 00 www.irf.com 29 IR2167(S) Caseoutline 20 Lead PDIP (MS-001AD) 01-3079 00 IR WORLD HEADQUARTERS: 233 Kansas St., El Segundo, California 90245 Tel: (310) 252-7105 Data and specifications subject to change without notice. 8/19/2002 30 www.irf.com
