Packages
The IR2157 is a fully integrated, fully protected 600V ballast control IC designed to
drive virtually all types of rapid start fluorescent lamp ballasts. Externally program-
mable features such as preheat time & frequency, ignition ramp characteristics, and
running mode operating frequency provide a high degree of flexibility for the ballast
design engineer. Comprehensive protection features such as protection from failure
of a lamp to strike, filament failures, low dc bus conditions, thermal overload, or lamp
failure during normal operation, as well as an automatic restart function, have been
included in the design. The heart of this control IC is a variable frequency oscillator
with externally programmmable deadtime. Precise control of a 50% duty cycle is
accomplished using a T-flip-flop. The IR2157 is available in both 16 pin DIP and 16
pin narrow body SOIC packages.
