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.
This evaluation board is intended to build applications with the UBA2016A, UBA2015A
and UBA2015 ballast controller family. This document describes the specification and use
of the board. This ballast design is intended to drive one 35W T5 lamp with the
UBA2015AP. However, several options are provided on the board to use it with the
UBA2016AP and UBA2015P.

2. Safety warning
This evaluation board is connected to a high AC voltage (up to 200 V). Avoid touching the
reference board during operation. An isolated housing is mandatory when used in
uncontrolled, non-laboratory environments. Galvanic isolation of the mains phase using a
fixed or variable transformer (Variac) is always recommended. The symbols shown in
Figure 2
indicate these devices.

Wiring diagram
Remark:
The chassis (if any) must connect to the earth which is available on mounting
hole E1.
Remark:
Before powering up the board, check if the three MOSFETs are correctly
mounted. During transport, the MOSFETs can become detached.
