bso Description
O The STEVAL-ILB008V1 is a wide-range lighting
) - ballast capable of driving 4 x 18 W linear T8
t(s fluorescent tubes.
c The ballast is controlled by the L6585DE IC,
u which integrates PFC and half-bridge control
d circuits, relevant drivers, and the circuitry required
ro to manage all lamp operating phases (pre-
P heating, ignition and run mode). Protection
te against failures such as lamp disconnection, anti-
capacitive mode, and PFC overvoltage are
le guaranteed and achieved using a minimum
so number of external components.
ObAn electronic ballast consumes less power and
STEVAL-ILB008V1
therefore dissipates less heat than an
electromagnetic ballast. The energy saved is
estimated to be in the range of 20-25% for a given
lamp power. Moreover, an electronic solution
allows for improved control of the filament current
and lamp voltage during pre-heating, resulting in
increased lamp life.
