Description
The IR21571 is a fully integrated, fully protected 600V ballast control IC designed
to drive virtually all types of rapid start fluorescent lamp ballasts. Externally pro-
grammable features such as preheat time & frequency, ignition ramp characteris-
tics, and running mode operating frequency provide a high degree of flexibility for
the ballast design engineer. Comprehensive protection features such as protec-
tion from failure of a lamp to strike, filament failures, low dc bus conditions, thermal
overload, or lamp failure during normal operation, as well as an automatic restart
function, have been included in the design. The heart of this control IC is a variable
frequency oscillator with externally programmable deadtime. Precise control of a
50% duty cycle is accomplished using a T-flip-flop. The IR21571 is available in both
16 pin DIP and 16 pin narrow body SOIC packages.

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 defined positive into any lead. The thermal
resistance and power dissipation ratings are measured under board mounted and still air conditions.

Enough current should be supplied into the VCC lead to keep the internal 15.6V zener clamp diode on this lead
regulating its voltage.
Due to the fact that the RT input is a voltage-controlled current source, the total RT lead current is the sum of all
the parallel current sources connected to that lead. For optimum oscillator current mirror performance, this total
current should be kept between 50µA and 500µA. During the preheat mode, the total current flowing out of the RT
lead consists of the RPH lead current plus the current due to the RT resistor. During the run mode, the total RT lead
current consists of the RUN lead current plus the current due to the RT resistor.

When the IC senses an overtemperature condition (Tj > 160ºC), the IC is latched off. In order to reset this
Fault Latch, the SD lead must be cycled high and then low, or the V
CC
supply to the IC must be cycled below
the falling undervoltage lockout threshold (V
CCUV-
).
