Product details
Overview
UBA2211CP/N1,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a high-voltage monolithic half-bridge power IC designed specifically for driving Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) up to 25 W in mains-powered lighting systems. It integrates high-side and low-side power transistors (6.6 Ω on-resistance), bootstrap diode, and high-voltage supply circuitry. Its RMS current control, adjustable preheat timing, and lamp inductor saturation protection enable reliable cold-start ignition and extended burner lifetime in indoor/outdoor CFL ballasts.
For engineers reviewing the UBA2211CP/N1,112 datasheet, UBA2211CP/N1,112 pinout, UBA2211CP/N1,112 application, or UBA2211CP/N1,112 equivalent, this device delivers verified lamp current regulation, integrated safety protections (SCP, OTP, CMP), and DIP8-compatible layout with external DVDT diodes - critical for cost-sensitive, high-reliability CFL driver design.
Technical Context
The UBA2211CP/N1,112 implements a self-oscillating 555-timer-based controller with internal divider for precise 50% duty cycle generation. Its frequency sweep during ignition (2.5× nominal) targets lamp resonance, while RMS current control maintains constant lamp current independent of mains voltage variation.
Preheat mode uses peak voltage across RSENSE to regulate filament current via VSW(ph); steady-state operation squares VSENSE and compares it to VO(ref)RMS to enforce RMS equivalence. Integrated Saturation Current Protection (SCP) dynamically adjusts frequency and conduction time to prevent inductor saturation damage during transient overloads.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum lamp power supported by the UBA2211CP/N1,112?
The UBA2211CP/N1,112 supports Compact Fluorescent Lamps up to 25 W, as confirmed in the official NXP product data sheet Section 3. Its 1.85 A maximum ignition current and 6.6 Ω on-resistance are optimized for this power range in 220 V mains applications. Higher wattages require external current boosting or alternative topologies not supported by the UBA2211CP/N1,112.
Does the UBA2211CP/N1,112 require external DVDT supply diodes?
Yes, the UBA2211CP/N1,112 uses the DIP8 package (SOT97-1), which 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 (UBA2211CT/N1) where they are bonded internally. Failure to install them will prevent proper VDD charge pump operation.
How is preheat time configured for the UBA2211CP/N1,112?
Preheat time for the UBA2211CP/N1,112 is set by the external capacitor CSW connected to pin SW, with typical value calculated as Csw = tph × 1.5 s / 100 nF (Section 7.5). For example, a 47 nF capacitor yields ~0.55 s preheat time. The UBA2211CP/N1,112's fixed 620 mV preheat reference voltage ensures repeatable filament current regardless of component tolerances.
What protection features are built into the UBA2211CP/N1,112?
The UBA2211CP/N1,112 integrates Saturation Current Protection (SCP), OverTemperature Protection (OTP), Capacitive Mode Protection (CMP), overpower control, and automatic shutdown on ignition failure. These are active across all operating states - including start-up, preheat, ignition, and steady-state - as detailed in Sections 2.4 and 7.9–7.12 of the datasheet.
Can the UBA2211CP/N1,112 operate from 110 V AC mains?
No, the UBA2211CP/N1,112 is specified exclusively for 220 V mains operation, as explicitly stated in Section 2.1 ("UBA2211C: 220 V mains; 6.6 Ω; 1.85 A maximum ignition current"). Its HV pin absolute maximum rating (550 V) and internal start-up threshold (VDD(start) = 10.7–12.7 V) assume rectified 220 V input (~310 V DC). Operation from 110 V mains would result in insufficient VDD charging and failure to exit start-up state.
