Product details
Overview
ICB2FL01GXUMA2 from Infineon Technologies is a second-generation fluorescent lamp ballast control IC integrating discontinuous-mode PFC, inverter control, and 900V high-side/low-side gate drivers for T5/T8 electronic ballasts. It supports single- and multi-lamp topologies, delivers up to 40-second digital timers, operates from −25°C to +125°C, and enables ignition near magnetic saturation of lamp chokes.
For engineers reviewing the ICB2FL01GXUMA2 datasheet, ICB2FL01GXUMA2 pinout, ICB2FL01GXUMA2 application, or ICB2FL01GXUMA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include PFC DCM operation with THD correction, dual lamp voltage sense (LVS1/LVS2), filament break detection during startup and run mode, and customer test mode for in-circuit validation.
Technical Context
The ICB2FL01GXUMA2 implements a mixed-signal PFC architecture with ZCD-based THD correction optimized for discontinuous conduction mode, including dedicated compensation for low THD across 0–100% load range. Its inverter section features current-mode preheating, adjustable dead time, and dual threshold overcurrent protection (0.8 V / 1.6 V) on LSCS with 500 ns timeout.
It integrates two independent lamp voltage sensing inputs (LVS1, LVS2) for end-of-life (EOL1/EOL2) and rectifier effect detection, plus capacitive load monitoring via current slope analysis. The controller supports emergency lighting with restart-on-short-interruption and latched fault handling per state diagram logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PFC Mode | Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) only; enables stable PFC across full 0–100% lamp load without critical conduction mode instability. |
| Operating Temp | −25°C to +125°C junction temperature; ensures reliability in enclosed ballast housings and high-ambient industrial lighting fixtures. |
| Lamp Voltage Sense | Dual-input (LVS1 & LVS2); enables independent detection of lamp overvoltage (EOL1) and rectifier effect (EOL2) for fail-safe lamp replacement alerts. |
| Inverter Overcurrent Threshold | 0.8 V (preheat/run), 1.6 V (startup); provides fast latched shutdown within 500 ns to protect MOSFETs during short-circuit or cold-start failure. |
| Ignition Control Slope | 205 mV/µs ±25 mV/µs at LSCS; dynamically halts frequency sweep when choke saturation is detected, reducing required inductor size by up to 30%. |
| Timer Range | Digital timers up to 40 seconds; supports precise preheat duration (RTPH), preheat frequency (RFPH), and run frequency (RFRUN) adjustment via external resistors. |
Pinout & Package
ICB2FL01GXUMA2 is housed in a PG-DSO-19-1 package - a 19-pin, thermally enhanced, surface-mount SOIC variant with extended creepage distance (Pin 16) for high-voltage fluorescent ballast isolation requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 LSCS | Low-side current sense input | Senses MOSFET source current for preheat/run overcurrent protection and ignition slope detection; internal 0.8 V/1.6 V comparators with 500 ns timeout. |

| 4 GND | Low-side reference ground | Return path for LSCS, LSGD, and control logic; isolated from HSGND to support floating high-side drive. |
| 5 PFCGD | PFC gate driver output | Drives PFC boost switch MOSFET; supports 900 V operation with programmable on-time and ZCD-synchronized switching. |
| 6 PFCCS | PFC current sense input | Connects to PFC boost diode cathode or shunt; detects zero-current crossing and peak current for DCM timing and current limiting. |
| 7 PFCZCD | PFC zero-current detection input | Monitors boost inductor current zero-crossing to trigger PFC switch turn-on; enables precise DCM boundary control. |
| 8 PFCVS | PFC bus voltage sense input | Resistive divider input for PFC output voltage monitoring; enables 95%/75% bus sensing and open-loop/overvoltage protection. |
| 9 RFRUN | Run frequency setting | External resistor sets inverter operating frequency during steady-state lamp operation (typically 35–65 kHz). |
| 10 RFPH | Preheat frequency setting | External resistor sets lower-frequency preheat stage (typically 25–45 kHz) to limit filament stress before ignition. |
| 11 RTPH | Preheat time setting | External resistor programs preheat duration (up to 40 s); enables skip-preheat mode when pulled to GND. |
| 12 RES | Restart after lamp removal | Enables automatic re-start sequence upon lamp reinsertion; debounced input with internal pull-up. |
| 13 LVS1 | Lamp voltage sense 1 | Primary lamp voltage monitor for EOL1 (overvoltage) detection and capacitive load identification during ignition. |
| 14 LVS2 | Lamp voltage sense 2 | Secondary lamp voltage monitor for EOL2 (rectifier effect) detection and improved lamp-end asymmetry tolerance. |
| 15 AUX | Auxiliary output | Open-drain output for status signaling (e.g., lamp OK/fault) or driving external circuitry like relays or LEDs. |
| 17 HSGND | High-side reference ground | Floating ground reference for high-side driver; isolated from low-side GND to enable bootstrap or transformer-coupled high-side drive. |
| 18 HSVCC | High-side supply voltage | Provides power to high-side driver stage; typically supplied via bootstrap capacitor or auxiliary winding. |
| 19 HSGD | High-side gate driver output | Drives high-side N-channel MOSFET in half-bridge; integrated level shifter supports 900 V blocking and matched propagation delay vs. LSGD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual lamp voltage sensing (LVS1/LVS2) | Enables independent detection of lamp overvoltage (EOL1) and rectifier effect (EOL2), improving lamp life prediction accuracy by >40% vs. single-sense ICs. |
| Current-mode preheat with slope-based ignition control | Uses dI/dt at LSCS to halt frequency sweep at choke saturation point, eliminating need for oversized inductors and reducing BOM cost by one high-current choke. |

FAQ
What is the maximum lamp power supported by ICB2FL01GXUMA2?
The ICB2FL01GXUMA2 is validated for use in 54 W T5 single-lamp ballast designs per the official Infineon application schematic (Section 6.1). Its 900 V gate drivers and thermal design allow reliable operation up to 65 W with appropriate heatsinking and layout-though system-level validation is required beyond 54 W due to PFC inductor and MOSFET derating constraints.
Does ICB2FL01GXUMA2 support analog dimming?
No, ICB2FL01GXUMA2 does not include native analog dimming capability. Dimming must be implemented externally via PWM modulation of the RFRUN or RFPH pins, or by controlling the PFC bus voltage. The datasheet confirms only frequency-based lamp control-not 0–10 V or DALI interface support-and no internal DAC or dimming state machine is present.
How is filament break detection implemented during lamp operation?
During run mode, low-side filament break is detected by monitoring LSCS current waveform symmetry and amplitude decay over consecutive half-cycles. If current drops below 30% of nominal preheat value for >3 cycles while LVS1 remains active, the IC triggers a latched fault. This is distinct from startup detection and relies on internal cycle-by-cycle comparison-not external comparators or timers.
Can ICB2FL01GXUMA2 drive SiC MOSFETs in the inverter half-bridge?
Yes-its 900 V-rated HSGD and LSGD outputs are compatible with SiC MOSFETs, provided gate resistance and PCB layout accommodate faster switching edges. However, the internal dead-time is fixed and non-adjustable; for optimal SiC performance, external dead-time control or gate driver buffers may be needed to prevent shoot-through at >100 kHz switching frequencies.
