1. Introduction
WARNING
Lethal voltage and fire ignition hazard
The non-insulated high voltages that are present when operating this product, constitute a
risk of electric shock, personal injury, death and/or ignition of fire.
This product is intended for evaluation purposes only. It shall be operated in a designated test
area by personnel qualified according to local requirements and labor laws to work with
non-insulated mains voltages and high-voltage circuits. This product shall never be operated
unattended.
The UBA2017AT reference design is intended to serve as an example of a dimmable two
lamp ballast. This user manual describes the specification and use of the UBA2017AT
board. This reference ballast design is intended to drive two T5 35 W lamps.

2. Safety warning
Connected the board to the DC voltage. Avoid touching the board while it is connected to
the mains voltage. An isolated housing is mandatory when used in uncontrolled,
non-laboratory environments.

When no dimming is needed, do
not connect the (floating) DIM input.
Remark:
The chassis connection must connect to the earth using mounting hole MH1.

3.1 Dimming without using an external voltage source
The ballast is dimmed using a voltage source of 1 V (DC) to 10 V (DC) connected to
connector X1.
It is also possible to dim using an external logarithmic potentiometer of 470 k (for
example, no external voltage supply is available). The potentiometer must connect pins 5
(gray wire, DIM) and 4 (violet wire, DIM+) of connector X1.
