Product data sheet
1. General description
The UBA2016A/15/15A are high voltage Integrated Circuits (IC) intended to drive
fluorescent lamps with filaments such as Tube Lamps (TL) and Compact Fluorescent
Lamps (CFL) in general lighting applications. The IC comprises a fluorescent lamp control
module, half-bridge driver, built-in critical conduction mode Power Factor Correction
(PFC) controller/driver and several protection mechanisms. The IC drives fluorescent
lamp(s) using a half-bridge circuit made of two MOSFETs with a supply voltage of up to
600 V.
The UBA2016A/15/15A are designed to be supplied by a start-up bleeder resistor and a
dV/dt supply from the half-bridge circuit, or any other auxiliary supply derived from the
half-bridge or the PFC. The supply current of the IC is low. An internal clamp limits the
supply voltage.

7. Functional description
7.1 Introduction
The UBA2016A/15/15A is an integrated circuit for electronically ballasted fluorescent
lamps. It provides a critical conduction mode Power Factor Correction (PFC)
controller/driver and a half-bridge controller/driver with all the necessary functions for
correct preheat, ignition and on-state operation of the lamp. Several protection
mechanisms are incorporated to ensure the safe operation of the fluorescent lamp or a
shut down of the complete ballast under any abnormal operating conditions or lamp
failure.
7.2 Power Factor Correction (PFC)
The PFC is a boundary conduction mode, on-time controlled system. The basic
application diagram can be found in Figure 6. This type of PFC operates at the boundary
between continuous and discontinuous mode. Energy is stored in the inductor LPFC each
period that switch QPFC is on. When the input current Ii(PFC) is zero at the moment that
QPFC is switched on, the amplitude of the current build up in LPFC will be proportional to
Vi(PFC) and the time ton(PFC) that QPFC is on. This current continues to flow as output
current Io(PFC) via DPFC into CBUS after QPFC is switched off. In this phase Io(PFC) is equal to
Ii(PFC). A new cycle is started when Io(PFC) reaches zero. Ii(PFC) consists of a sequence of
triangular pulses, each having an amplitude proportional to the input voltage and ton(PFC).
If ton(PFC) is kept constant, the first harmonic of the input current is proportional to the input
voltage. The PFC output voltage Vo(PFC) is controlled by ton(PFC). As ton(PFC) is more slowly
regulated than the mains frequency it will not disturb the power factor.

7.2.1 Regulation loop
The control loop senses the PFC output voltage via resistors R1, R2 and the feedback
input FBPFC. The frequency compensation network C1, C2 and R4 sets the response
time and stability of the loop. The voltage at pin FBPFC is regulated to Vreg(FBPFC). When
voltage on pin FBPFC is above the regulation voltage, pin COMPPFC is charged and
when voltage on pin FBPFC is lower, pin COMPPFC is discharged. Current flow through
pin COMPPFC is controlled by the PFC Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA)
and its transconductance gm(PFC). The voltage on pin COMPPFC controls the PFC
on-time, ton(PFC). So when the voltage at pin FBPFC is too high, ton(PFC) is reduced and
less energy is transferred. When voltage at pin FBPFC is too low, ton(PFC) is increased and
more energy is transferred.
The voltage on pin FBPFC is sampled at the rising edge of pin GPFC and held internally
during the leading edge blanking time tleb(FBPPC) before going to the OTA to prevent
disturbance of the regulation level due to transition effects when the PFC external power
switch is turned on
The maximum ton(PFC) is set when the voltage at pin COMPPFC is clamped to
Vclamp(COMPPFC) to limit the dead time in recovering regulation after a regulation range
overshoot. The ton(PFC) time can be regulated down to zero. The moment at which the
gate is turned on is determined by pin AUXPFC. When this pin is below demagnetization
detection voltage Vdet(demag)AUXPFC and the low PFC off-time toff(PFC)low timer is finished,
the next cycle starts.
During start-up, the capacitor connected to pin COMPPFC is connected by an internal
switch to pin FBPFC which allows it to partially charge before the PFC starts. This reduces
the start-up time.

7.2.2 Protection
The PFC incorporates the following protection mechanisms:
• When voltage on pin FBPFC drops below open/short protection threshold voltage
Vth(osp)(FBPFC), the gate is turned off and the start of a new cycle is inhibited. A small
internal filter prevents this protection reacting to a negative spike.
• When pin FBPFC is left open, a pull-down bias current Ibias(FBPFC) ensures that the pin
voltage drops below Vth(osp)(FBPFC).
• When voltage at pin FBPFC rises above overvoltage threshold voltage Vth(ov)(FBPFC)
the gate immediately turns off. A new cycle will not start while VFBPFC remains above
Vth(ov)(FBPFC). This limits the PFC output voltage. This protection is disabled during the
leading edge blanking time tleb(FBPFC) after GPFC goes high.
• When the toff(PFC)low timer sequence has ended with no demagnetization detected
(VAUXPFC has not risen above Vdet(demag)) the on-time of the next cycle will be the no
demagnetization detected PFC on-time ton(PFC)nodemag to prevent excessive current
build up in the coil.
• Bias current Ibias(AUXPFC) ensures that pin AUXPFC is HIGH when not connected
ensuring pin GPFC stays LOW.
7.3 Half-bridge driver
The IC incorporates drivers for the half-bridge switches and all related circuits such as
non-overlap, high voltage level shifter, bootstrap circuit for the floating supply and hard
switching and capacitive mode detection.
The UBA2016A/15/15A is designed to drive a half-bridge inverter with an inductive load.
The load consists typically of an inductor with a resonant capacitor and a TL or CFL. A
basic half-bridge application circuit driving a TL is shown in Figure 7 which also shows a
typical IC supply configuration with a start-up bleeder resistor and a dV/dt supply.

7.3.1 VDD supply
The UBA2016A/15/15A is intended to be supplied by a start-up bleeder resistor
connected between the bus voltage VBUS and VDD and a dV/dt supply from the
half-bridge point at pin SHHB.
The IC starts up when the voltage at pin VDD rises above start-up voltage Vstartup(VDD) and
locks out (stops oscillating) when the voltage at pin VDD drops below stop voltage
Vstop(VDD). The hysteresis between the start and stop levels allows the IC to be supplied
by a buffer capacitor until the dV/dt supply is settled. The UBA2016A/15/15A has an
internal VDD clamp. This is an internal active Zener (or shunt regulator) that limits the
voltage on the VDD supply pin to clamp voltage Vclamp(VDD). No external Zener diode is
needed in the dV/dt supply circuit if the maximum current of the dV/dt supply minus the
current consumption of the IC (mainly determined by the gate drivers’ load) is below
Iclamp(VDD).
7.3.2 Low- and high-side drivers
The low- and high-side drivers are identical. The output of each driver is connected to the
equivalent gate of an external power MOSFET. The high-side driver is supplied by the
bootstrap capacitor, which is charged from the VDD supply voltage via an internal diode
when the low-side power MOSFET is on. The low-side driver is directly supplied by the
VDD supply voltage.
7.3.3 Non-overlap
During each transition between the two states GLHB HIGH/GHHB LOW and
GLHB LOW/GHHB HIGH, GLHB and GHHB will both be LOW for a fixed non-overlap time
tno to allow the half-bridge point to be charged or discharged by the load current
(assuming the load always has an inductive behavior), and enabling zero voltage
switching; see Figure 8.

control, start-up boost, dimming, end-of-life detection, overcurrent protection and hard
switching limiting.
In the UBA2016A/15/15A, 7 different operating states can be distinguished. In each state

7.4.1 Reset
When voltage on pin VDD is below the reset voltage Vrst(VDD), both gates of the half-bridge
driver are LOW. All internal latches are reset. When voltage on pin VDD rises above
Vrst(VDD), the IC will enter STANDBY state.
7.4.2 Standby
In STANDBY state the low-side gate driver is on (GLHB is HIGH).The floating supply
capacitor CFSHB is then charged. When the VDD voltage rises above Vstartup(VDD), the
Preheat state is entered.
7.4.3 Oscillating states (Preheat, Ignition and Burn)
The highest and lowest oscillation frequency can be set with capacitor CCF connected to
the CF pin. The oscillator is implemented in such a way that the lowest frequency fsw(low) is
the most accurate. In any oscillating state (Preheat, Ignition or Burn), when VDD voltage
drops below Vstop(VDD) or overtemperature is detected, the half-bridge stops oscillation
when GLHB is HIGH and enters the STANDBY state.
7.4.4 Preheat
The oscillating frequency starts at fsw(high) (see Figure 10 “Resonance curve application
with UBA2015A” or Figure 11 “Resonance curve application with UBA2016A” point A) and
remains at that frequency until the PFC output is sufficient (the voltage at pin FBPFC rises
above the PFC voltage OK threshold voltage on pin FBPFC, Vth(VPFCok)FBPFC) and the
voltages at pins CPT and VFB settle above their pin short protection levels
(VVFB > Vth(osp)(VFB) and VCPT > Vth(scp)(CPT)). The half-bridge current is regulated when in
the Preheat state; see Figure 10 “Resonance curve application with UBA2015A” or Figure
11 “Resonance curve application with UBA2016A” point B. Pin CIFB supplies a current
Ich(CIFB) to the externally connected compensation network on this pin and its voltage will
rise. This will cause the switching frequency to decrease (pin CIFB is the input for the
voltage controlled oscillator). This will cause an increase in half-bridge current (assuming
the switching frequency is higher than the load resonance frequency). This current is
measured via pin SLHB using a resistor connected between the source of the low-side
switch and ground. When the voltage on pin SLHB rises above the preheat current control
voltage Vcrtl(ph)SLHB, discharge current Idch(CIFB) to pin CIFB and the frequency is
increased. When the voltage drops below Vth(ocp)SLHB, current Ich(CIFB) from pin CIFB
causes the frequency to decrease.

The preheat frequency for UBA2015 and UBA2015A can also be regulated via pin PH/EN.
UBA2015 and UBA2015A support current controlled preheat and fixed frequency preheat.
During preheat the output voltage of pin PH/EN is Vph(PH/EN). The output current that an
external resistor Rext(PH/EN) connected to this pin sinks is compared to 4⁄5 of the output
current of the VCO (the current at pin CF with no fault condition present and the capacitor
at that pin being charged minus the same current at fsw(low)). As long as the output current
of the VCO is bigger the frequency is being decreased (by charging pin CIFB with
Ich(CIFB)). If the current through the external resistor is bigger the frequency will be
increased (by discharging pin CIFB with Idch(CIFB)).
Current and fixed frequency control mechanisms are active at the same time. For fixed
frequency preheat using pin PH/EN, the half-bridge current sense resistor connected to
pin SLHB should be small enough not the activate the current control mechanism. If
current controlled preheat is used, pin PH/EN should be left open (except of course for the
open collector or open drain that drives the enable function). The preheat time tto(ph) can
be set with capacitor CCPT on pin CPT.
7.4.5 Ignition
After the Preheat state the IC enters the Ignition state. During the Ignition state the
switching frequency is decreased by charging pin CIFB with Ich(CIFB). This will result in
increasing lamp voltage until the lamp ignites (see point C in Figure 10 “Resonance curve
application with UBA2015A” or Figure 11 “Resonance curve application with UBA2016A”)
and lamp-on or fsw(low) (lowest frequency) is detected. Lamp-on detection occurs when the
average absolute voltage on pin IFB is above lamp-on detection threshold Vth(lod)(IFB) and
the voltage on pin VFB is more then 50 % of each clock cycle below the lamp-on detection
threshold Vth(lod)(VFB) and after a delay td(lod).
If either saturation, overvoltage or hard switching regulation (UBA2016A only) is triggered
it will overrule the frequency sweep down and hold the frequency at the border where the
fault appeared and start the fault timer. When the fault timeout tto(fault) is reached the IC
enters Auto-restart state if it was the first ignition attempt, otherwise it will go to the Stop
state; see Figure 9 “State diagram”.
7.4.6 Auto-restart
The Auto-restart state is entered after a fault time out in the Ignition state during the first
ignition attempt. See Figure 9 “State diagram”. When the IC is in Auto-restart state, it
draws supply current Irestart(VDD). This will slowly discharge the buffer capacitor on pin
VDD until the voltage on this pin drops below Vrestart(VDD). The IC then enters the Standby
state. Here the VDD capacitor will be charged again to start a second ignition attempt. The
bleeder current must be between standby current Istb(VDD) and Irestart(VDD). A time delay
can be set between the two ignition attempts with the capacitor at pin VDD to reduce
stress on the HB components.
7.4.7 Burn
In Burn state the lamp current regulation and all protection circuits are active. The boost
function (available in UBA2016A only) is also enabled.

7.4.7.1
Lamp current control and dimming
The AC lamp current is sensed by an external resistor connected to pin IFB. The resulting
AC voltage on pin IFB is internally Double-Side Rectified (DSR), and compared to a
reference level by an OTA. This reference level is determined by the internal reference
regulation level Vreg(ref) and the voltage on the DIM input (UBA2015A and UBA2016A
only), as shown in Figure 12 “Lamp current control”.
Definition: the regulation voltage on pin IFB (Vreg(IFB)) is the level seen from outside the IC
to which the IC will try to regulate the average absolute voltage on pin IFB.
If the DIM input is not present or not connected or VDIM > Vreg(ref) then Vreg(IFB) is
Vreg(ref) + non-idealities from the OTA and the DSR else Vreg(IFB) = VDIM + non-idealities
from OTA and DSR.
For the UBA2016A Vreg(IFB) also depends on the input current on pin BOOST (IBOOST).
The boost current is multiplied and added to the OTA output current which translates to an
extra voltage being added to Vreg(ref). See Section 7.4.7.3 “Boost” for further detail about
the boost function. For the remainder of this Section we will assume IBOOST = 0.
For the UBA2015A and UBA2016A the DIM input controls the lamp current set point. The
DIM input level is internally clamped to Vreg(ref). The lowest possible DIM input level is set
by the bias current on pin DIM Ibias(DIM) and the external resistance on the pin. If no
dimming is required, pin DIM can be left open or connected via a capacitor to ground. The
internal current source Ibias(DIM) will then charge the pin until it is internally clamped to
Vreg(ref).

The output of the OTA is connected to pin CIFB. The external capacitor Cext(CIFB) is
charged and discharged according to the voltage on the OTA inputs and the
transconductance of the OTA, gm(IFB) according to the formula:
ICIFB = gm(IFB) (VIFB Vreg(IFB).
More components can be connected to pin CIFB to improve the response time and
stability of the lamp current control loop.
Pin CIFB is connected to the input of the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) that
determines the frequency of the IC. Pin CIFB voltage is inversely proportional to the
switching frequency. When the load is inductive, an increase in frequency decreases the
lamp current, and a decrease in frequency increases the lamp current. With the closed
loop for the lamp current in place, the IC will regulate to the required frequency for the
desired lamp current. So when the IC enters Burn state it will go to either point D or H
shown in Figure 10 (UBA2015A) or Figure 11 (UBA2016A) depending on the DIM input
voltage.

However, the switching frequency can never go below fsw(low) (unless for UBA2016A when
the boost function is active, see Section 7.4.7.3). If the regulation level is not reached at
fsw(low) the IC will stay at fsw(low) (point E in Figure 10 and Figure 11).
7.4.7.2
Operation without lamp current control
To operate the lamp without current control the lamp current sense pin IFB must be
connected to ground. The lamp now operates at the lowest frequency fsw(low) (point E in
Figure 10 or Figure 11). Dimming is not supported in this case.
7.4.7.3
Boost
The boost feature is available only in the UBA2016A to support shorter run up times. The
boost function changes the half-bridge switching frequency by lowering the lowest
possible switching frequency from fsw(low) to fsw(bst)(low) and increasing the lamp current set
point Vreg(IFB) by adding a multiple of the boost current to the OTA output current which
translates to an extra voltage being added to Vreg(ref). During boost time, the frequency is
lowered, and as a consequence of the inductive load the lamp current is increased.
The implementation of the boost function is shown in Figure 12 “Lamp current control”.
The boost input is a current input with an input range of 0 to Isat(BOOST). The input current
is internally clamped at Isat(BOOST). If the input current at the pin is above Isat(BOOST) the
effect will not become bigger. The voltage on the pin is determined by the voltage drop
across the internal current mirror input and limited by an internal clamp circuit if the input
current at the pin rises above Isat(BOOST). For maximum current allowed into the pin; see
Table 4. An example of how boost function can be implemented is shown in Figure 13.

The boost current is determined by resistor RBOOST. Rbias provides a small threshold for
the boost function and with capacitor CBOOST keeps the BOOST pin at a defined (inactive)
level (0 V) during normal lamp operation (after the boost period). The boost time constant
is reflected by the sum of capacitors Chv and CBOOST and RBOOST. Resistor Rhv and
capacitor CBOOST filter out the ripple on Vo(PFC).
An example of component values for Vo(PFC) = 430 V is:
Rhv = 22 M (500 V); Chv = 100 nF (500 V); Dreset = 1N4148; CBOOST = 150 nF (63 V);
RBOOST = 10 M and Rbias = 10 M

The amount of boost depends on the current into the BOOST pin and the lamp current
control. If the application does not use lamp current control, the switching frequency will
go down to the lowest possible boost switching frequency fsw(bst)(low) (point G in Figure 11
“Resonance curve application with UBA2016A”) that is determined by Equation 1 or
Equation 2, depending on the value of IBOOST.

(1)
I BOOST I sat BOOST f sw bst low = f sw low 1 – I sat BOOST N f bst low
(2)
If the application uses lamp current control, the switching frequency is regulated to boost
regulation voltage on pin IFB, Vreg(bst)(IFB) (point F in Figure 11 “Resonance curve
application with UBA2016A”) that can be calculated by Equation 3 or Equation 4,
(depending on the value of IBOOST) if the switching frequency remains above fsw(bst)(low),
otherwise the switching frequency is fsw(bst)(low); see Equation 1 or Equation 2.

I BOOST I sat BOOST V reg bst IFB = V reg IFB + I sat BOOST N Vreg bst

7.4.8 Stop state
When in Stop state the IC is off and all driver outputs are low. The IC will remain in Stop
state until the voltage on pin VDD drops below Vrst(VDD) or it is disabled, in which case it
will go to Reset state.
The sequence of events for entering the Stop state are shown in Figure 9 “State diagram”.
7.5 Enable and Disable
The enable function is only available in the UBA2015 and UBA2015A and works via pin
PH/EN. If this pin is pulled below the enable voltage Ven(PH/EN) then the IC goes into the
Standby state (immediately if GLHB is high, otherwise it will continue its normal clock
cycle until GLHB is high and then go to the Standby state).
The external interface with pin PH/EN for the enable signal should be an open collector or
open drain type driver. To enable the IC the open collector or open drain should be open
(high ohmic) to not disturb the fixed frequency preheat setting function of pin PH/EN.
In Restart, Standby and Stop states the standby pull-up current source Ipu(stb)(PH/EN) will
pull the voltage at pin PH/EN above Ven(PH/EN). In Preheat, Ignition and Burn states the
normal output voltage driver of the IC will pull the pin high. In those cases the external
driver must draw a current Iclamp(PH/EN) from the pin to disable the IC.
7.6 Protection circuits
7.6.1 End-of-life rectifying lamp detection
If voltage on pin EOL is below low threshold voltage Vth(low)EOL or above Vth(high)EOL the
fault timer will start. These threshold voltage levels are related to pin FBPFC voltage
according to the formula: Vth(low)EOL = VFBPFC = Vth(high)EOL / 2. The FBPFC voltage is
sampled during GPFC low and hold during GPFC high periods to prevent disturbance of
the EOL levels due to the switching of the PFC.

A programmable end-of-life window is achieved by the internal bias current sink Ibias(EOL).
The effective relative size of the EOL window will decrease in line with the increasing
series resistance connected to pin EOL.
The end-of-life lamp rectifying detection is only active during the Burn state.
7.6.2 End-of-life overvoltage detection
This protection is intended to protect against symmetrical lamp aging. When in Burn state
the voltage on pin VFB exceeds the overvoltage end-of-life threshold voltage Vth(oveol)(VFB)
by more then 50 % of each switching cycle the fault timer will start. Vth(oveol)(VFB) is related
to the regulation voltage on pin IFB Vreg(IFB) that itself is dependent on the voltage on pin
DIM (see Section 7.4.7.1 “Lamp current control and dimming”) according to the formula:
Vth(oveol)(VFB) = a b Vreg(IFB)
Parameters a and b can be calculated from the Vth(oveol)(VFB) values given in Table 6.
The end-of-life overvoltage protection is only active during Burn state and (for UBA2015A
and UBA2016A) if the voltage at pin DIM is above the overvoltage end-of-life enable
voltage Ven(oveol)(DIM).
7.6.3 Capacitive mode detection
Under all normal operating conditions the half-bridge switching frequency should be
higher than the load resonance frequency. The load then shows an inductive behavior in
that the load current Iload lags behind the half-bridge voltage VSHHB. If the amplitude and
the phase difference are large enough, the load current will charge any capacitance on pin
SHHB during the non-overlap time tno(LH), and discharge it during the other non-overlap
time tno(HL). As a result the voltage across the switches is almost zero at the moment they
turn on. This is called zero voltage switching; see Figure 14 “Switching”. Zero voltage
switching provides the highest switching efficiency and the least Electromagnetic
Emission (EME).
Capacitive mode switching can occur when, due to any abnormal condition, the switching
frequency is below the load resonance frequency. This can happen when the lamp is
removed. The load current will then keep the backgate diode of the switch that is switched
off conducting during the non-overlap time, and if the other switch is turned on, a sudden
step of the half-bridge voltage to the other supply rail takes place (which causes huge
current spikes). Also cross conduction between the switches can occur during the reverse
recovery of the backgate diode. These effects put huge stress on the power switches,
most of which can only handle capacitive mode switching a few times before they break
down.
To protect against capacitive mode switching the IC monitors pin SHHB during the
non-overlap time tno(LH) between switching off of the low-side switch and switching on of
the high-side switch. If a rise of VSHHB (dVSHHB/dt > Vth(cm)(SHHB)) during tno(LH) is not
detected then the IC will conclude that capacitive mode switching is occurring during the
next full cycle. If capacitive mode is detected longer than the fault activation delay time
tdet(fault) then the IC will enter Stop state.
Capacitive mode detection is active in all oscillating states for all ICs except in the Ignition
state of the UBA2016A if zero voltage switching has been observed. In that case the
UBA2016A switches to hard switching regulation, see Section 7.6.4 “Hard switching
regulation (UBA2016A)”.

NXP Semiconductors
600 V fluorescent lamp driver
During ignition a situation may occur where the amplitude of the load current is high and
the half-bridge is at the boundary of capacitive mode switching; see Figure 14 “Switching”.
The load current crosses zero during the non-overlap time. If the amplitude of the load
current is large enough, the UBA2015 and UBA2015A might not detect capacitive mode
because VSHHB did rise before going down again. The backgate diode of one switch is
conducting again when the other switch switches on. Since this can only happen if the
load current crosses zero during the non-overlap time, the momentary value of the load
current at the end of the non-overlap time will be not so big, and will not necessarily
damage the switches.
Depending on the topology used, the DC blocking capacitor might be charged via the
lamp(s) at the moment the lamp(s) ignite. This will cause a temporary DC current addition
to the load current that might be interpreted by the UBA2015 and UBA2015A as
capacitive mode switching. If this happens the DC blocking capacitor must be reduced or
pre-charged. The UBA2016A does not have this problem.
7.6.4 Hard switching regulation (UBA2016A)
In Ignition state the UBA2016A capacitive mode detection is disabled and replaced by
hard switching regulation. This enables ignition without voltage feedback.
The hard switching regulation measures the voltage step on pin SHHB at the end of the
non-overlap time tno(LH) (Vstep(SHHB) in Figure 14 “Switching”) and increases the switching
frequency by discharging pin CIFB with a current according to the formula:
Idch(hswr)CIFB = (Vstep(SHHB) Vth(hswr)SHHB gm(hswr)
In this way the IC keeps the switching frequency during ignition at the point where there is
still a small phase difference between the load current and the half-bridge voltage, and the
switching losses due to hard switching are limited. This is assuming that it is not already
held at the higher frequency by the overvoltage protection or coil saturation protection.
As Figure 14 “Switching” shows, hard switching also occurs when the amplitude of the
load current is to small. This might happen when the IC enters Ignition state at the end of
preheat and the frequency is still relatively high. To prevent the IC from getting stuck at
fhigh the hard switching regulation is disabled until zero voltage switching has been
observed, that is if Vstep(SHHB) < Vth(zvs)SHHB.
7.6.5 Hard switching protection
The hard switching level Vstep(SHHB) step is measured via pin SHHB. The hard switching
level is determined by measuring the voltage step on pin SHHB on the rising edge of pin
GHHB; see Figure 14 “Switching”. When Vstep(SHHB) is above the hard switching
protection threshold voltage on pin SHHB (Vth(hswp)SHHB) the fault timer is activated.

7.6.6 Coil saturation protection
When the peak voltage on pin SLHB exceeds saturation threshold voltage Vth(sat)SLHB, an
additional current Iadd(CF) is sourced to pin CF to shorten the running oscillator cycle. In
Ignition state the fault timer is started and a discharge current Idch(CIFB) is drawn from pin
CIFB during the next cycle to increase the switching frequency.
In Burn state the IC will go to Stop state if coil saturation is detected longer than the
saturation detection delay time td(det)sat.
Current Ibias(SLHB) is sourced to pin SLHB which will force the controller into coil saturation
protection if pin SLHB is left open.
7.6.7 Lamp overcurrent protection
If voltage on pin IFB exceeds the overcurrent detection threshold voltage Vth(ocd)(IFB), and
the oscillator is running at fsw(high), an overcurrent is detected and the IC will immediately
enter the Stop state.
7.6.8 Lamp overvoltage protection
When the peak voltage on pin VFB exceeds Vth(ov)(VFB), the fault timer is started and a
discharge current Idch(CIFB) is drawn from pin CIFB during the next cycle to increase the
switching frequency.
When VVFB > Vth(ovextra)(VFB) for longer than the fault activation delay time tdet(fault) then the
IC will enter the Stop state.
7.6.9 Lamp removal detection
Removing the lamp from applications that have the resonant capacitor connected via the
lamp filaments, will result in hard switching because current cannot flow through the
ballast inductor.
If hard switching is detected during Ignition or Burn state the fault timer will be started.
For applications with the resonant capacitor connected directly to the ballast inductor,
capacitive mode, coil saturation or over voltage will be detected. Capacitive mode is
activated if the switching frequency ends up below the resonance frequency due to
removal of the lamp. If the switching frequency is near or above the resonance frequency,
the lamp (or rather the lamp socket) voltage and half-bridge current will be very high due
to the unloaded resonant circuit (lamp inductor and lamp capacitor) which activates the
coil saturation protection or the overvoltage protection.
7.6.10 Temperature protection
When the temperature is above Tth(act)otp and GLHB is high, the IC enters Standby state.
The IC cannot exit the Standby state until the temperature drops below Tth(rel)otp.
7.6.11 Fault timer
Any fault that starts the fault timer must be detected for longer than the fault activation
delay time td(act)fault to actually start the timer. When the timer is started, the capacitor at
pin CPT is alternately being charged and discharged. After 8 charging and 7 discharging
cycles the fault time-out period tto(fault) is reached and the IC enters either the Stop state or
the Auto-restart state, depending on the fault detected, the current state of the timer and
the number of ignition attempts; see Figure 9 “State diagram”. If the fault that started the

timer is no longer detected for a period longer than the fault release delay time td(rel)fault,
the fault timer will be reset and at any new occurance of the fault, the timer will start from
zero.
Faults which activate the fault timer are shown as SlowFault in Figure 9 “State diagram”.
The fault timer uses the same pin (CPT) to set the time with an external capacitor Cext(CPT)
as the preheat timer. The ratio between the preheat time-out time tto(ph) and the fault
time-out time tto(fault) can be changed by adding an external series resistor Rs(ext)(CPT) or
an external parallel resistor Rp(ext)(CPT) to the external capacitor Cext(CPT); see Figure 15
“CPT connections”.

The fault timer incorporates a protection that ensures safe operation conditions if the CPT
pin voltage is below Vth(scp)(CPT) (shorted to GND) by holding the oscillation frequency at
fsw(high).
7.6.12 Brownout protection
Brownout protection is designed to maintain stable and safe lamp operation during dips in
mains supply. Without this protection the current demand from the bus voltage to maintain
constant lamp power would increase upon a drop in bus voltage. This creates an unstable
situation with the mains input voltage dropping and the PFC reaching its regulation range
limit.
Brownout protection reduces the lamp power when the PFC is out of regulation. This
situation is only allowed for a limited time to prevent excessive component stress.
When the PFC is outside its regulation range and the bus voltage is still too low
(VCOMPPFC = Vclamp(COMPPFC) and VFBPFC < Vreg(FBPFC)), a brownout current Ibo(CF) is
added to the charge current at pin CF, thus increasing the fsw(low). A discharge brownout
current Idch(bo)(CIFB) is also drawn from pin CIFB. Both Ibo(CF) and Idch(bo)(CIFB) are
proportional to the difference between VFBPFC and Vreg(FBPFC). If VFBPFC < Vth(bo)(FBPFC)
the fault timer will start.
The start-up bleeder resistor and the regulation range of the PFC should be dimensioned
in such a way that if the fault timer times out on brownout protection and the IC enters
Stop state, the input mains voltage is too low to support the standby current of the IC via
the bleeder resistor. The IC will then automatically reset and start-up in normal mode (and
reignite the lamps) when the mains voltage has returned to normal.

The threshold for the brownout protection is slightly below the normal regulation level on pin FBPFC. The design guarantees that it will
always be below this level because the clamp current from the PFC OTA is used as a signal.

11. Application information
11.1 Connecting the IC in an application
A 33 k resistor must be connected between pin IREF and GND. The tolerance of this
resistor adds to any current related tolerances of the IC, including fsw(low). No other
components can be connected to pin IREF.
Tolerance and temperature dependency of the capacitor connected between pin CF and
GND will add to the tolerance on fsw(low).
Small decoupling capacitors (about 100 pF) are recommended on pins FBPFC and IFB
close to the IC.
Normal sized decoupling capacitors (about 10 nF) are recommended on pins DIM and
EOL.
The capacitors at pins CF, COMPPFC, CPT, FSHB and VDD should also be placed close
to the IC.
A capacitor between pin CIFB and GND of at least 470 pF is needed for stability of the low
switching frequency.
A capacitor between pin VDD and GND of at least 10 nF is needed for stability of the
internal VDD voltage clamp. However, for reliable operation of the IC a low ESR type of at
least 470 nF is recommended.
A capacitor between pin FSHB and SHHB is needed to supply the high-side driver. The
recommended value for this capacitor is 1⁄5 of the value of the capacitor at VDD.
A series resistor of at least 1 k is recommended on pins AUXPFC and SLHB.
