Product details
Overview
UBA2211BP/N1,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a high-voltage monolithic half-bridge power IC designed specifically for driving Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) in 220 V mains applications. It integrates high-side and low-side power transistors (9 Ω on-resistance), bootstrap diode, and high-voltage supply circuitry, enabling direct lamp ignition and RMS current-controlled steady-state operation up to 25 W.
For engineers reviewing the UBA2211BP/N1,112 datasheet, UBA2211BP/N1,112 pinout, UBA2211BP/N1,112 application, or UBA2211BP/N1,112 equivalent, this device delivers verified preheat time control, saturation current protection, capacitive mode protection, and adjustable oscillator frequency - all critical for reliable CFL burner integration across indoor/outdoor lighting systems.
Technical Context
The UBA2211BP/N1,112 implements a self-oscillating 555-timer-based controller with internal divider for precise 50% duty cycle generation. Its half-bridge frequency is set by external Rosc and Cosc components, while preheat and ignition states use dedicated internal voltage references (Vref(ph) = 620 mV, VO(ref)RMS = 285 mV typical) to regulate filament current and lamp RMS current respectively.
It features integrated safety mechanisms including Saturation Current Protection (SCP), OverTemperature Protection (OTP) with 175 °C activation threshold, Capacitive Mode Protection (CMP), and system shutdown on ignition failure. The DIP8 package requires external DVDT supply diodes, unlike the SO14 variant which integrates them.
Key Specifications

What is the maximum lamp power supported by UBA2211BP/N1,112?
The UBA2211BP/N1,112 supports Compact Fluorescent Lamps up to 25 W, as confirmed in the official NXP product data sheet Section 3. Its 1.35 A peak ignition current and 9 Ω integrated MOSFET on-resistance are optimized for this power range under 220 V mains conditions.
Does UBA2211BP/N1,112 require external diodes for the DVDT supply?
Yes, UBA2211BP/N1,112 in the DIP8 package (SOT97-1) does not integrate the DVDT supply diodes. As stated in Section 5 of the datasheet, these diodes must be mounted externally - unlike the SO14 variant which integrates them internally.
How is preheat time adjusted in UBA2211BP/N1,112?
Preheat time in UBA2211BP/N1,112 is set by the external capacitor CSW, with typical value 47 nF yielding 0.55 s (Section 10, Table 5). Equation 3 in the datasheet confirms Csw = tph × 1.5 s / 100 nF, allowing precise tuning based on lamp filament requirements.
What protection features are built into UBA2211BP/N1,112?
UBA2211BP/N1,112 integrates Saturation Current Protection (SCP), OverTemperature Protection (OTP), Capacitive Mode Protection (CMP), overpower control, and automatic system shutdown upon ignition failure - all detailed in Sections 2.4 and 7.9–7.12 of the datasheet.
Can UBA2211BP/N1,112 operate directly from rectified 220 V AC mains?
Yes, UBA2211BP/N1,112 is designed for 220 V mains operation. Its HV pin accepts up to 373 V DC operating voltage and withstands 550 V transients for 10 minutes, making it compatible with standard bridge-rectified 220 V AC inputs as shown in Figure 8 of the datasheet.
