march 2010 doc id 15599 rev 1 1/31 AN2982 application note 1 x 54 w t5 fluorescent lamp ball ast in wide input voltage range using the l6585de - steval-ilb005v2 introduction this application note describes the steval-ilb005v2 demonstration board equipped with the l6585de lighting controller, std7nm50n mosfets and an stth1l06 shottky diode able to drive a 54 w linear t5 fluorescent lamp in a wide input voltage range (88 - 277 vac). the design steps, schematic and board performance are also given. the l6585de lighting controller embeds both the pfc stage and ballast stage suitable for driving all kinds of lamps (t8, t5, t4, cfln,...) and all kinds of topologies having an input power greater than 25 w. new t5 lamps are characterized by very high luminous efficiency and compactness. to optimize their performance, high accuracy in both preheating of the cathodes and steady- state parameters is required. the minimum performance of t5 ballasts together with their minimum safety requirements are summarized in international norms, especially iec61347- 2-3, iec60929, and iec60081. the demand for these lamps is rapidly growing and the l6585de is able to control electronic ballasts meeting all performance specifications and reliability with lo w component count and a small pcb. the steval-ilb005v2 has been developed to drive a 54 w t5-ho lamp. figure 1. steval-ilb005v2 demonstration board ! - v www.st.com
