VCC should be bypassed to COM as close to the IC terminals as possible with a low ESR/ESL capacitor, as shown in Figure 1 below. CVCC (surface mount) IR21571 pin 1 CBOOT (surface mount) CVCC (through hole) Figure 1: Supply bypassing PCB layout example A rule of thumb for the value of this bypass capacitor is to keep its minimum value at least 2500 times the value of the total input capacitance (Ciss) of the power transistors being driven. 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 halfbridge. 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. 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 pin within the IC. The COM pin 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 2. In addition, the ground return path of the timing components and VCC decoupling capacitor should be connected directly to the IC COM pin, and not via separate traces or jumpers to other ground traces on the board.

The Control Sequence and Timing Component Selection The IRS21571D uses the following control sequence (Figure 3) to drive rapid start fluorescent lamps. fStart frequency fPH fRun fmin t 5V VCPH 2V VRPH 2V VRUN Ignition Run mode Ramp mode Preheat mode Figure 3: IRS21571D Control sequence The control sequence used in the IRS21571D 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 IRS21571D in systems where fstart > fph > fign > frun, simply by leaving the RUN pin open). Six pins in the IC are used to control the Startup, Preheat, Ignition Ramp, and Run modes of operation, and to allow ballast and lamp engineers the flexibility to optimize their designs for virtually any lamp type. The heart of this controller is an oscillator which 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 pin, and the falling portion of the ramp is determined by an external deadtime resistor RDT. The oscillograph in Figure 4 illustrates the relationship between the oscillator capacitor waveform and the gate driver outputs. www.irf.com 15 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D CT LO HO-VS Figure 4 The deadtime can be programmed by means of the external RDT resistor, given a certain range of CT capacitor values, using the graph shown in Figure 5. 10 tDEAD (usec) CT = 220 pF CT = 470 pF CT = 1 nF 1 0.1 1 10 100 RDT (Kohms) Figure 5: Deadtime versus RDT 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. www.irf.com 16 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D During the Startup Mode, the operating frequency is determined by the parallel combination of RPH and RT , combined with the values of CT and RDT , and the voltage at the RT pin, as shown in Figure 6. The voltage at the RT pin starts at an initial value above 2V, causing the initial start frequency to be higher than the preheat frequency. This frequency is high enough 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. As the voltage at the RT pin decreases to the final value of 2V, the output frequency ramps down to the preheat frequency.

This frequency, along with the Preheat Time, is normally chosen to ensure that adequate heating of the lamp filaments occurs. Typically, a 4.5:1 ratio of the hot filament-to-cold filament resistance is desired for maximum lamp life, as shown in Figure 7 below www.irf.com 17 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D Preheat Ignition Ramp Run Figure 7: Lamp filament voltage during the preheat, ignition ramp and run modes The Preheat Time is programmed by means of the preheat capacitor, CPH, an internal 1μA current source, and an internal threshold on the CPH pin of 4.0V, according to the following formula: tPH = 4E6 ⋅ CPH, CPH = 250E - 9 ⋅ tPH or At the end of the Preheat Time, the internal, open-drain transistor holding the RPH pin to ground turns off, and the voltage on this pin charges exponentially up to the RT pin potential. During this Ignition Ramp Mode, the output frequency exponentially decays to a minimum value. The rate of decay of this frequency is a function of the RPH ∗ CRAMP time constant. Because the Ignition Ramp Mode ends when the voltage on the CPH pin reaches 5.15V, the Ignition Ramp Mode is always 1/4th as long as the preheat time. When the CPH pin reaches 5.15V, an open-drain transistor on the RUN pin turns on, and the external RRUN resistor is then in parallel with the RT resistor. The Run Mode operating frequency is therefore a function of the parallel combination of RRUN and RT, and this means that the operating power of the lamp can be programmed by means of RRUN . The following graphs, Figures 8 and 9, illustrate the relationship between the effective RT resistance (i.e., the parallel combination of resistors which programs the CT capacitor charging current) and the operating frequency. www.irf.com 18 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D 250 150 200 FREQ (KHz) CT=220pF,RDT=11K CT=470pF,RDT=6.2K CT=1nF,RDT=3K CT=220pF, RDT=5.6K CT=470pF, RDT=2.7K CT=1nF, RDT=1.2K 150 FREQ (KHz) 100 100 50 50 0 0 5 10 15 20 RT (K ohms) 25 30 35 40 0 0 5 10 15 20 RT (K ohms) 25 30 35 40 Figure 8: fOSC versus effective RT (tDEAD = 2.0 usec) Figure 9: fOSC versus effective RT (tDEAD = 1.0 usec) Lamp Protection & Automatic Restart Circuitry Operation Four pins on the IRS21571D are used for protection, as shown in Figure 10 below.

When power is first supplied to the IC at system startup, 3 conditions are required before oscillation is initiated: 1.) the voltage on the VCC pin must exceed the rising undervoltage lockout threshold (12.5V), 2.) the voltage at the VDC pin must exceed 5.1V, and 3.) the voltage on the SD pin must be below approximately 1.85V. If a low dc bus condition occurs during normal operation, or if power to the ballast is shut off, the dc bus will collapse prior to the VCC of the chip (assuming the VCC 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 dc bus voltage under varying load conditions. When the dc bus recovers, the chip restarts from the beginning of the control sequence, as shown in timing diagram Figure 11 below. 5 VDC 3 4 CT 8 CPH 15 LO 15 HO-VS RUN mode Low VDC Restart Figure 11: VDC pin fault and auto restart Lamp Presence Detection and Automatic Restart The second protection pin, SD, is used for both unlatched shutdown and automatic restart functions. The SD pin would normally be connected to an external circuit which senses the presence of the lamp (or lamps). A example circuit for a single lamp is shown in Figure 12. www.irf.com 20 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D + rectified AC Line VDC HO + VBUS 1 CPH 16 VS RGHS CBS RSupply DBOOT CVCC D1 CBLOCK LRES IRS21571D 2 4 8 15 15 2 RPH 15 VB 3 RT 14 VCC CSNUBBER 4 RUN 13 COM 5 CT 12 D2 LO CRES 6 DT 11 CS R3 RGLS R5 R4 7 OC 10 SD 8 9 C2 RCS VBUS return Figure 12: Lamp presence detection circuit connection (shaded area) When the SD pin exceeds 2.0V (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 into the fixture, the SD pin would be pulled back to near the 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 13. SD CT CPH LO HO-VS RUN mode SD mode Restart Figure 13: SD pin fault and auto restart Thus, for a lamp removal and replacement, the ballast automatically restarts the lamp in the proper manner, maximizing lamp life and minimizing stress on the power MOSFETs or IGBTs. www.irf.com 21 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D Half-Bridge Current Sensing and Protection The third pin used for protection is the CS pin, which is normally connected to a resistor in the source of the lower power MOSFET, as shown in Figure 14. 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 pin performs its sensing functions on a cycle-by-cycle basis in order to maximize ballast reliability. rectifie d AC line VDC HO +VBUS 1 CPH 16 VS Q1 RGHS 1/ 2 2 RPH 15 VB CBOOT DBOOT Bridge output IRS21571D 3 RT 14 VCC RSUPPLY D1 CSNUBBER 4 RUN 13 COM 5 CT 12 LO CVCC Q2 6 DT 11 CS RGLS R3 D2 7 OC 10 SD 8 ROC 9 RCS VBUS return Figure 14: Half-bridge current sensing circuit connection (shaded area) For the over-current, failure-to-strike, and hard switching fault conditions, an externally programmable, positivegoing 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: ROC = VCS+ , 50E - 6 or VCS + = 50E - 6 ⋅ ROC 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 CS- threshold is synchronized with the falling edge of the LO output. Figures 15, 16 and 17 are oscillographs of fault conditions. Figure 15 shows a failure of the lamp to strike, Figure 16 shows a hard switching condition and Figure 17 shows an under-current condition. www.irf.com 22 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D CS VS Figure 15: Lamp failure to strike CS VS Figure 16: Hard switching condition www.irf.com 23 © 2008 International Rectifier IRS21571D CS VS Figure 17: Operation below resonance Recovery from such a fault condition is accomplished by cycling either SD pin or the VCC pin. 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.
