600 V fluorescent lamp driver with linear dimming function
Rev. 2 — 15 May 2012
Product data sheet
1. General 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.

UBA2017/UBA2017A
600 V fluorescent lamp driver with linear dimming function
7. Functional description
7.1 Introduction
The UBA2017/UBA2017A is an integrated circuit for electronically ballasted fluorescent
lamps. It provides a half-bridge controller/driver with all the necessary functions for correct
preheat, ignition and on-state operation of the lamp. Several protection mechanisms are
incorporated to ensure the safe operation of the fluorescent lamp or a shutdown of the
complete ballast under any abnormal operating conditions or lamp failure.
7.2 Half-bridge driver
The IC incorporates drivers for the half-bridge switches and all related circuits such as
non-overlap, high-voltage level shifter, bootstrap circuit for the floating supply and hard
switching and capacitive mode detection.
The UBA2017/UBA2017A is designed to drive a half-bridge inverter with an inductive
load. The load consists typically of an inductor with a resonant capacitor and a TL or CFL.
A basic half-bridge application circuit driving a TL is shown in
Figure 4
which also shows a
typical IC supply configuration with a start-up bleeder resistor and a dV/dt supply.
