Typical industrial TL ballasts requires complex
control with dimming or automation interface.
Here the L6569 is a driver between the power
and control blocks. To use it with an external os-
cillator, pin CF is used as an 0-12V logic input,
and the L6569 becomes a high voltage buffer.
Applications with power above 150W require a full
bridge inverter. Figure 6 shows how two L6569
drive such a MOSFET bridge. If no external con-
trol is required, the first L6569 master can control
the switching with its oscillator, and synchronizes
the other driver as (slave).
The L6569 start up
Two versions of the L6569 are available with dif-
ferent start up characteristics. The L6569 drives
the lower MOSFET ON at power-up until the sup-
ply voltage reaches the Under Voltage Lock Out.
The bootstrap capacitor is precharged to 4.6V
and both the lower and the upper MOSFETs will
switch immediately with the oscillator. This is in-
tended for inverters which use only one DC block-
ing capacitor connected to the power ground, as
shown on figure 4 for CFL ballast.
