STMicroelectronics L6572
The L6572 is a high voltage half-bridge driver for current regulation, quasi-self-oscillating ballast. It contains all functions that are needed to preheat the filaments, to ignite and to operate a fluorescent lamp. The filaments are preheated before the lamp is re-ignited after every disconnection of the mains voltage.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
During normal operation of the lamp, the ballast operates either with the nominal or with a reduced resonant current which results in a nominal or a reduced light output of the lamp. A change between those two possible light outputs of the lamp is triggered by disconnecting the mains voltage for a short time (two-step dimming). A...
