FAIRCHILD launched the highest integrated ballast for compact fluorescent lamps IC

Fairchild Semiconductor launched specifically for compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) design and development, the market's most integrated ballast IC products FAN7710. By adopting the "system level packaging" scheme, FAN7710 can simplify the design and overcome the problem of space limitation in CFL lighting applications.

FAN7710 in the ultra compact 8-DIP package in the integration of a high-end 625V gate driver circuit, two 550V MOSFET, a frequency control circuit and a shunt regulator, and joined the ZVS active control and light detection function. As the most integrated device in the same solution, FAN7710 can help design

Reduce the number of components to simplify the design. FAN7710's high functionality and built-in protection feature can save board space, reduce power consumption, and achieve excellent temperature characteristics and improve the reliability of the terminal system.

In addition to FAN7710, Fairchild also for linear fluorescent lamp (LFL) design and CFL applications launched FAN7711 devices. In addition to two high power MOSFET, the ballast IC integrates all the components of the FAN7710, making it more suitable for LFL design. FAN7711 is also available in two packages of 8-DIP and 8-SOP.

Jay, director of Lee, director of CFL, said: "as the most integrated ballast IC, FAN7710 is an ideal system level packaging solution for space savings in the design of the system. Through the introduction of LFL and CFL applications for the FAN7711, Fairchild's product portfolio allows designers to be based on the specific requirements of the application, the flexibility to optimize power, performance and space. "

The main features of FAN7710 and FAN7711 are as follows:

Built in adaptive ZVS control to improve the stability of the system, no longer need to turn on the lights to protect the circuit; and built-in 15V shunt regulator to ensure the stability of the operation.

Only two frequency and time control pins, compared to conventional devices require the 4 pins, the system design can be simplified.

Programmable warm-up time and operating frequency help to improve flexibility.

Built in HVIC with noise cancellation circuit function (high dv/dt common mode noise), under voltage protection (UVLO) function and prevent through output buffer can enhance reliability.

These products are available in lead free packages that meet or exceed the J-STD-020C standard requirements of the IPC/JEDEC and are in compliance with the EU standards that are now in force.
