DESCRIPTION
The TN22 has been specifically developed for use
in electronic starter circuits. Use in conjunction
with a sensitive SCR and a resistor, it provides
high energy striking characteristics with low trig-
gering power. Thanks to its electronic concept, this
TN22 based starter offers high reliability levels and
extended life time of the fluorescent tubelamps.

TN22
This thyristor has been designed for use as a fluo-
rescent tube starter switch.
An electronic starter circuit provides :
s
A pre-heating period during which a heating
current is applied to the cathode heaters.
s
One or several high voltage striking pulses
across the lamp.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
1/ Pre-heating
At rest the switch S is opened and when the mains
voltage is applied across the circuit a full wave rec-
tified current flows through the resistor R and the
TN22 gate : at every half-cycle when this current
reaches the gate triggering current (I
GT
) the thyris-
tor turns on.
When the device is turned on the heating current,
limited by the ballast choke, flows through the tube
heaters.
The pre-heating time is typically 2 or 3 seconds.
2/ Pulsing
At the end of the pre-heating phase the switch S is
turned on. At this moment :
If the current through the devices is higher than the
holding current (I
H
) the thyristor remains on until
the current falls below I
H
. Then the thyristor turns
off.
If the current is equal or lower than the holding cur-
rent the thyristor turns off instantaneously.
When the thyristor turns off the current flowing
through the ballast choke generates a high voltage
pulse. This overvoltage is clamped by the thyristor
avalanche characteristic (V
BR
).
If the lamp is not struck after the first pulse, the sys-
tem starts a new ignition sequence again.
3/ Steady state
When the lamp is on the running voltage is about
150V and the starter switch is in the off-state.
IMPLEMENTATION
The resistor R must be chosen to ensure a proper
triggering in the worst case (minimum operating
temperature) according to the specified gate trig-
gering current and the peak line voltage.
Switch S : This function can be realized with a gate
sensitive SCR type : P0130AA 1EA3
This component is a low voltage device (< 50V)
and the maximum current sunk through this switch
can reach the level of the thyristor holding current.
The pre-heating period can be determined by the
time constant of a capacitor-resistor circuit
charged by the voltage drop of diodes used in se-
ries in the thyristor cathode.
