Description
The IR2156 incorporates a high voltage half-
bridge gate driver with a programmable oscillator and
state diagram to form a complete ballast control IC.
The IR2156 features include programmable preheat
and run frequencies, programmable preheat time,
programmable dead-time, and programmable over-
current protection.
Comprehensive protection
features such as protection from failure of a lamp to
strike, filament failures, as well as an automatic
restart function, have been included in the design.

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.

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