This Application Brief exists as a supplement to Application Note 63. When used with Application Note 63, this document contains all the necessary information to convert an ML4833 Evaluation Board into a low-cost, non-dimming 220V ballast.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This power factor corrected, 60W non-dimming ballast operates over a 187 to 253VRMS line, and is designed to power two series connected F32T8 lamps. The design preserves the features of the dimming ballast, which include:●
●
●
●
●
● 0.99 minimum power factor Less than 10% THD Programmable starting sequence for low glow current and extended lamp life Greater than 92% efficiency All American On-chip thermal and lamp out detection circuitry Capsco Power down threshold for GFI or end of lamp life protection Future Active Inc.
