Description
This IC takes full advantage of IR’s patented ballast
and high-voltage technologies to realize a simple, high-
performance magnetic ballast replacement solution.
The IC includes a novel single-stage circuit topology
and control method to achieve high power factor and
low THD without a PFC stage or any electrolytic
capacitors. A single high-voltage pin senses the half-
bridge voltage to perform necessary protection
functions. Closed-loop control of the lamp current
provides constant lamp brightness over a wide line input
voltage range. Combining these high-voltage control
algorithms in a single 8-pin IC results in a large
reduction in component count, an increase in
manufacturability and reliability, a reduced design cycle
time, while maintaining high ballast system
performance.
