STEVAL-ILB007V1
Description
The STEVAL-ILB007V1 demonstration board is
capable of driving 2 x 58 W linear T8 fluorescent
tubes, and with simple modifications can also be
adapted for 2 x 36 W linear T8 fluorescent tubes.
The ballast is controlled by the L6585DE device,
which integrates PFC and half-bridge control
circuits, the relevant drivers, and the circuitry to
manage all lamp operating phases (pre-heating,
ignition and run mode). Protection against failures
such as lamp disconnection, anti-capacitive mode
and PFC over-voltage are guaranteed and
achieved using a minimum number of external
components.
An electronic ballast consumes less power and
therefore dissipates less heat than an
electromagnetic ballast. The energy saved can be
estimated to be in the range of 20-25% for a given
lamp power.
Finally, the electronic solution allows better
control of the filament current and lamp voltage
during pre-heating, resulting in an increase in
lamp life.
