Description
The IRS2168D is a fully integrated, fully protected 600 V
ballast control IC designed to drive all types of fluorescent
lamps. The IRS2168D is based on the popular IR2166
control IC with additional improvements to increase ballast
performance. The PFC circuitry operates in critical
conduction mode and provides high PF, low THD and DC
bus regulation. The IRS2168D features
include
programmable preheat and run frequencies, programmable
preheat time, programmable PFC over-current protection,
closed-loop half-bridge ignition current regulation, and
programmable end-of-life protection. Comprehensive
protection features such as protection from failure of a lamp
to strike, filament failures, end-of-life protection, DC bus
undervoltage reset as well as an automatic restart function,
have been included in the design.
System Features
One-chip ballast control solution
Wide range PFC for universal input and multi-lamp ballasts
Ultra low THD
Closed-loop ignition regulation for reliable lamp ignition
End-of-Life window comparator with internal OTA
Lamp removal/auto-restart function
Fault counter for robust noise immunity
Brown-out protection and reset
Internal bootstrap MOSFET

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings indicate sustained limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. All voltage
parameters are absolute voltages referenced to COM, all currents are defned positive into any lead. The thermal
resistance and power dissipation ratings are measured under board mounted and still air conditions.

Note 1: This IC contains a Zener clamp structure between the chip V
CC
and COM which has a nominal breakdown
voltage of 15.6 V. This supply pin should not be driven by a DC, low impedance power source greater than the V
CLAMP
specified in the Electrical Characteristics section.
