Infineon Technologies AG Lighting, Ballast Controllers ICB1FL02GXUMA1

The ICB1FL02G is a Smart Ballast Control IC designed for fluorescent lamp ballasts, featuring a Discontinuous Conduction Mode Power Factor Correction (PFC) and an integrated lamp inverter control. It operates within a voltage range of 90 to 270 V AC and is packaged in a PG-DSO-18-2 format. The device minimizes the number of external components required, thanks to its integrated low pass filters and internal compensation for the PFC voltage loop control. Key features include adjustable preheating time, which can be set between 0 and 2000 ms using a single resistor, and the ability to detect end-of-life conditions and capacitive mode operations. The ICB1FL02G supports multi-lamp topologies and includes protection measures such as adjustable inverter overcurrent shutdown. It is compliant with RoHS and WEEE regulations, ensuring it meets environmental standards. This IC is suitable for engineers looking for a reliable and cost-effective solution for controlling fluorescent lamp ballasts.
