Controller for Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts
Functional Description
2.7
Emergency Lighting
Line interruptions (bus voltage drops) are detected by the PFCVS. If the rated PFC bus voltage drops below
VBUSRated < 75 % during run mode, the controller detects PFC bus undervoltage. In order to meet the emergency
lighting standards, the controller distinguishes between two different states of PFC bus undervoltage: short- and
a long-term PFC bus undervoltage. A timer increases the time as long as bus undervoltage is present. Short-term
bus undervoltage is detected if the timer value stays below t < 800 ms typical (500 ms min.) after the bus voltage
reaches the nominal level again. This causes a restart without preheating (emergency standard of VDE0108) –
see Figure 25. If the timer exceeds t > 800 ms, the controller forces a complete restart of the system due to long-
term bus undervoltage (Figure 26).
2.7.1 Short-term PFC Bus Undervoltage
Short-term PFC bus undervoltage (Figure 25) is detected if the duration of the undervoltage does not exceed
800 ms (timer stays below t < 800 ms, see Figure 25). In that case, the PFC and inverter drivers are immediately
switched off and the controller continuously monitors the status of the bus voltage in a latched power-down mode
(ICC < 170 μA). If the signal at the LVS pin exceeds 18 μA and the rated bus voltage is above 12.5 % while the
timer is below t < 800 ms, the controller restarts from power up without preheating. The timer resets to 0 when
entering run mode.
