Description

The UBA2017/UBA2017A are high-voltage Integrated Circuits (IC) intended to drive fluorescent lamps with filaments such as Tube Lamps (TL) and Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) in general lighting applications. The IC comprises a fluorescent lamp control module, half-bridge driver and several protection mechanisms. The IC drives fluorescent lamps using a half-bridge circuit made of two MOSFETs with a supply voltage of up to 600 V.The UBA2017/UBA2017A are supplied by a start-up bleeder resistor and a dV/dt supply from the half-bridge circuit, or any other auxiliary supply derived from the half-bridge. The supply current of the IC is low. An internal clamp limits the supply voltage.

Features

 Half-bridge driver features:

  •  Integrated level-shifter for the high-side driver of the half-bridge
  •  Integrated bootstrap diode for the high-side driver supply of the half-bridge
  •  Independent non-overlap time
  •  Fluorescent lamp controller features:
  •  Linear dimming (UBA2017A only)
  •  EOL (End-Of-Life) detection (both symmetrical and asymmetrical)
  •  Adjustable preheat time
  •  Adjustable preheat current
  •  Adjustable fixed frequency preheat
  •  Lamp ignition failure detection
  •  Ignition detection of all lamps at multiple lamps with separate resonant tanks
  •  Second ignition attempt if first failed
  •  Constant output power independent of mains voltage variations
  •  Automatic restart after changing lamps
  •  Lamp current control
  •  Enable input
  •  Protection
  •  Hard switching/capacitive mode protection
  •  Half-bridge overcurrent (coil saturation) protection
  •  Lamp overvoltage (lamp removal) protection
  •  Temperature protection

Typical applications

  • Intended for fluorescent lamp ballasts with either a UBA2017A dimmable or a
