Application Examples
The second solution of this equation (with the minus sign) leads to a result of 50163Hz, which is on the capacitive
side of the resonant rise. This value is no solution, because the operating frequency approaches from the higher
frequency level.
In the next step we can calculate the current through the resonant capacitor C20 when reaching a voltage level
of 800V peak.
IC20 = VIGN ⋅ 2 ⋅ π ⋅ fIGN ⋅ C20 = 800V ⋅ 2 ⋅ π ⋅ 69759Hz ⋅ 4, 7nF = 1, 65A
Finally the resistors R24, R25 can be calculated from IC20 and the current limitation threshold during ignition
mode.

Lamp voltage sense resistors R31, R32, R33
The selected lamp type 54W-T5 has a typical run voltage of 167V peak. We decide to set the EOL-thresholds at
a level of 1,5 times the run voltage level (= 250,5V peak).
