13W CFL电子镇流器
A small and low cost electronic CFL ballast has been designed, which is able to drive a
13 W NXP PLC lamp or similar 13 W Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL). The circuit is
intended for integrated ballast-lamp designs. Therefore no additional protection against
lamp removal is required.
A voltage fed half-bridge inverter has been chosen as lamp driver circuit. The inverter has
been designed for a nominal input voltage of 230 V (RMS) ± 15 %, 50 Hz / 60 Hz. The key
component in this circuit is the UBA2021 Integrated Circuit (IC). This UBA2021 is a high
voltage driver IC, which provides all the necessary functions for a correct preheat, ignition
and burn-state operation of the lamp. Besides these control function the UBA2021 provides the level-shift and drive function (high-side driver and bootstrap circuit included)
for the two discrete power MOSFETS PHU2N60.
The key issues for this design are: compact, low cost and low component count. The
UBA2021 IC has a few peripheral components. Only a minimum amount of components
are required for the optimal balance between maximum design flexibility and low
component count. Furthermore, all components are of compact size.
For a reliable system operation and a long lamp life, the fluorescent lamp is preheated
first, after switch-on. This preheat is controlled by the UBA2021 IC. The electrode currents
and voltages meet the requirements to obtain a proper electrode-emitter temperature.
This results in a smooth ignition of the lamp at a much lower ignition voltage, with less
component stress and/or electrical stress.
In the burn phase, the operation frequency is approximately 43 kHz, so no interference
with infrared communication systems (32 kHz / 36 kHz) will occur. Furthermore, this
frequency is kept below 50 kHz (third harmonic < 150 kHz), which meets a better
RFI performance. During steady state operation, the frequency is determined by a
feed-forward control. The result is a constant level of light output over a large mains
voltage range (approximately 200 V / 250 V).
The 13 W CFL ballast with UBA2021 is available on two versions of printed circuit boards.
Printed-circuit board (PCB) PR38922 is a miniaturized version with SMD components
(referred to as SMD version). PCB PR39001 consists of leaded components only
(referred to as leaded-version). Both PCBs contain the same electrical circuit. Their board
designs (PCB layout) meet the requirements for a good EMC performance.
The AC mains voltage is rectified by four bridge rectifying diodes and the DC supply
voltage for the half bridge inverter is smoothed by a buffer capacitor. An EMC-filter is used
to minimize the disturbance towards the mains. The half-bridge inverter is a voltage fed
type and has been designed to operate a 13 W PLC lamp or similar lamps.
The voltage fed inverter belongs to a group of high frequency resonant inverters, which
are very attractive to drive lamp circuits. They can achieve a high efficiency, due to the
zero-voltage switching principle. This reduces the switching losses of the two power
MOSFETS PHU2N60 to a minimum, so the power loss is MOSFET ON-loss. Therefore
the steady state operation (thermal resistance and ON-loss) determines the choice of
MOSFET type (by RDSon). During ignition and preheat, the total MOSFET current has to
be below the specified maximum rating. All together the PHU2N60 (RDSon < 6 Ω,
Vds-max = 600 V) suits best with this application.
