Functional Description
2.1.1
UVLO to Soft Start
This section describes the operating flow from UVLO to soft start in detail – Start-Up Procedure from UVLO to
Soft Start Figure 6. The control of the LED ballast is able to start the operation in less than 100 ms (Time to
Light IC is in active mode). This is achieved by the low current consumption during UVLO (IVCC = 130 µA) and
start-up hysteresis (IVCC = 160 µA – defines the start-up resistor) phases. The chip supply stage of the IC is
protected against overvoltage via an internal Zener clamping network, which clamps the voltage at 16.3 V and
allows a current of 2.5 mA. For clamping currents above 2.5 mA, an external Zener diode from VCC to GND is
required.

Figure 6 Start-Up Procedure from UVLO to Soft Start
If VCC exceeds the 10.6 V level and stays below 14.0 V (start-up hysteresis), the IC checks whether the pcb
temperature is experiencing over temperature or an output overvoltage is present. Over temperature is checked
from a source current of typically IOTP3 = - 21.3 µA out of pin 13 OTP (IOTP). This current produces a voltage drop
of VOTP < 1.6 V (temperature is ok). Over temperature is detected if the voltage at the OTP pin exceeds the VOTP
> 1.6V threshold (VOTP).
The output overvoltage is checked by a current of typically IOVP > 12 µA via resistors R12 into the OVP pin 12.
Output overvoltage is detected if there is no sink current into the OVP pin. This causes a higher source current
out of the OTP pin (typically 42.6 µA / 35.4 µA) in order to exceed VOTP > 1.6 V. In the case of over temperature
or overvoltage, the IC keeps monitoring until there is an adequate voltage from the OTP or OVP pin.
