2nd Generation FL-Controller for FL-Ballasts
A resistor, connected between ZCD winding
and PIN 7, limits the sink and source current of
the sense pin when the voltage of the ZCD
winding exceeds the internal clamping levels
(6.3V and -2.9V typically @ 5mA) of the IC.
If the sensed voltage level of the ZCD winding
is not sufficient (e.g. during start-up), an internal
start-up timer will initiate a new cycle every
52µs after turn-off of the PFC Gate drive. The
source current out of this pin during the on-time
of the PFC-MOSFET indicates the voltage level
of the AC supply voltage. During low input
voltage levels the on-time of the PFC-MOSFET
is enlarged in order to minimize gaps in the line
current during zero crossing of the line voltage
and improve the THD (Total Harmonic
Distortion) of the line current. An optimization of
the THD is possible by trimming of the resistor
between this pin and the ZCD-winding.
PFCVS (PFC voltage sense, Pin 8)
The intermediate circuit voltage (bus voltage) at
the smoothing capacitor is sensed by a resistive
divider at this pin. The internal reference
voltage for rated bus voltage is 2.5V. There are
further thresholds at 0.3125V (12.5% of rated
bus voltage) for the detection of open control
loop and at 1.875V (75% of rated bus voltage)
for the detection of an under voltage and at
2.725V (109% of rated bus voltage) for the
detection of an overvoltage. The overvoltage
threshold operates with a hysteresis of 100mV
(4% of rated bus voltage). For the detection of a
successful start-up the bus voltage is sensed at
95% (2.375V). It is recommended to use a
small capacitor between this pin and GND as a
spike suppression filter.
In run mode, a PFC overvoltage stops the PFC
Gate drive within 5µs. As soon as the bus
voltage is less than 105% of rated level, the
Gate drives are enabled again. If the
overvoltage lasts for longer than 625ms, an
inverter overvoltage is detected and turns off
the inverter the gate drives also. This causes a
power down and a power up when VBUS<109%.
A bus under- (VBUS>75%) or inverter
overvoltage during run mode is handled as fault
U. In this situation the IC changes into power
down mode and generates a delay of 100ms by
an internal timer. Then start-up conditions are
checked and if valid, a further start-up is
initiated. If start-up conditions are not valid, a
further delay of 100ms is generated.
This procedure is repeated maximum seven
times. If a start-up is successful within these
seven cycles, the situation is interpreted as a
short interruption of mains supply and the
preheating is skipped. Any further start-up
attempt is initiated including the preheating.
RFRUN (Set R for run frequency, Pin 9)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets the
operating frequency of the inverter during run
mode. Typical run frequency range is 20 kHz to
120 kHz. The set resistor R_RFRUN can be
calculated based on the run frequency fRUN
according to the equation:
RFRUN
=
5 ⋅108 ΩHz
f RUN
RFPH (Set R for preheat frequency, Pin 10)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets together
with the resistor at pin 9 the operating
frequency of the inverter during preheat mode.
Typical preheat frequency range is run
frequency (as a minimum) to 150 kHz. The set
resistor R_RFPH can be calculated based on
the preheat frequency fPH and the resistor
RRFRUN according to the equation:
RRFPH
=
RRFRUN
f PH ⋅ RRFRUN

RTPH (Set R for preheating time, Pin 11)
A resistor from this pin to ground sets the
preheating time of the inverter during preheat
mode. A set resistor range from zero to 25kΩ
corresponds to a range of preheating time from
zero to 2500ms subdivided in 127 steps.

RES (Restart, Pin 12)
A source current out of this pin via resistor and
filament to ground monitors the existence of the
low-side filament of the fluorescent lamp for
restart after lamp removal. A capacitor from this
pin directly to ground eliminates a
superimposed AC voltage that is generated as
a voltage drop across the low-side filament.
With a second sense resistor the filament of a
paralleled lamp can be included into the lamp
removal sense. Note: during start up, the chip
supply voltage Vcc has to be below 14.1V
before VRES reaches the filament detection
level.
