GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The UBA2000T is an integrated circuit for electronic
TL-lamp starters and is fully compatible with conventional
glow switch starters. The circuit controls the preheating
and ignition of the lamp. The preheat time is well defined
without spread, since it is derived from the mains
frequency. When the lamp fails, ignition is shut-off after 7
ignition attempts. The circuit has an automatic reset when
the supply voltage is interrupted.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The UBA2000T is an Integrated Circuit that performs all
functions necessary to ignite a TL-lamp. The circuit is
connected to the lamp circuit according to Figs. 7 or 8.
The mains voltage is rectified and divided over resistors
R1 and R2 to a lower level. When the mains power is
switched on, the buffer capacitor C1 is charged through
the resistive divider and internal switch S1. As long as the
supply voltage at the buffer capacitor (VCC, see
“Characteristics”) is below the reset level (V
CC(rst)
),
the UBA2000T initializes its internal circuitry.
When V
has reached the start level (V
CC
peak value of Vin>V
(indicating that the mains supply is
ign
CC(sl)
) and the
near its peak value), the external switching device TH1 will
be turned on. This results in a current through the
electrodes of the TL-lamp, the switching device and an
integrated sense resistor. Because the current starts to
flow when the mains voltage is near its peak value,
transient currents are limited.
handbook, full pagewidth
V
CC(sl)
When the switching device is turned on, the circuit draws
its supply current from buffer capacitor C1. A typical wave
shape of the voltage at pin 6 (V
) is given in Fig.3. During
CC
the preheat periods the buffer capacitor is discharged.
The rectified current through the sense resistor is detected
and the output signal of the detector is used as a clock
signal for the counter. The preheat time is defined to 1.52 s
(at 50 Hz mains supply) using this counter. The preheat
time is very accurate, since it only depends on the
frequency of the mains supply.
After preheating, the switching device is turned off when
the current through the internal sense resistor equals at
least 285 mA. As a result of the current interruption and the
presence of an inductive load, a voltage peak is generated
that will normally ignite the TL-lamp. After ignition, the
lamp voltage is lower than the mains voltage. An ignited
TL-lamp prevents the voltage at pin 6 (VCC) to exceed start
level. In Fig.3 the TL-lamp is ignited after two ignition
attempts.

Electronic TL-lamp starterUBA2000T
During preheating, the integrated circuit draws its supply
current from the buffer capacitor. As a result, the voltage
over the buffer capacitor decreases. When the ignition has
failed after the ignition pulse, the voltage on the buffer
capacitor increases to start level and the external
switching device will be turned on again. This time the
preheat time is reduced to 0.64 seconds because the lamp
electrodes are still warm. An internal counter limits the
number of ignitions attempts to 7. This prevents the lamp
from flickering at end of lamp life.
The UBA2000T has an integrated current protection.
When the current through the sense resistor exceeds the
protection level (I
), the switching device is turned off
prot
and the circuit will enter a standby state. Switching the
mains voltage off and on again will reset the circuit.
The flow chart of the starting process is given in Fig.5.
In the following subsections the several blocks of the block
diagram are described in more detail.
IC supply
When the mains power is switched on, the buffer capacitor
is charged and the internal current source is started.
The internal voltage is stabilized, making it independent of
the voltage at the buffer capacitor. An internal zener diode
limits the voltage at pin 6 (V
) to start level (V
CC
CC(sl)
).
This time depends on the value of C1, the IC current and
the source resistance at pin V
(R1//R2). When the mains
in
voltage is near its peak value, the switching device is
actually turned on. When the voltage decreases to a value
indicating that the mains supply is interrupted, the starter
is ready to start preheating and igniting the TL-lamp at the
moment the mains supply returns.
Latch
The internal state of the latch represents the state of the
switching device. The setting of the latch depends on the
outputs of the voltage detectors, the number of starts
counter and the standby state. Resetting the latch is
controlled by the timer, the current detector and the current
protection circuit.
Current detector
The current detector detects when the switching device
must be turned off. The current detector also generates the
clock pulses to activate the counter (see Fig.4). For proper
functioning, the preheat current should be within the range
indicated by I
. By including an hysteresis, unwanted
pr
current peaks on the preheat current have no effect on the
counter. Because the current detector has a low-pass
transfer function, it is not influenced by spikes. This
circuitry eliminates the effect of spikes on the preheat time.
Voltage detectors
The voltage detectors measure the voltage on the buffer
capacitor and activate the switching device when the start
value (V
capacitor is the initial time (t
handbook, full pagewidth
) is reached. The time required to charge the
CC(sl)
, see also Fig.3).

Counter
With the counter, which is supplied with pulses with twice
the frequency of the mains supply, the preheat time for the
first preheat and (if necessary) the next six preheats is
defined.
Time select
Depending on the state of the counter a long (t
or a short (t
= 0.64 s) preheat time is selected.
prn
= 1.52 s)
prf
Number of starts counter
The number of starts are counted by a counter. After seven
ignition attempts the IC is brought into standby state.
In standby state the supply current (I
) is increased.
CC
Due to the increased current, the buffer capacitor C1 will
discharge faster when the starter is disconnected from the
mains. This makes it possible to automatically reset the
starter the moment a malfunctioning tube is replaced by a
new one.
Current protection
When the current through the sense resistor exceeds its
limit (I
), the switching device will be turned off. During
prot
the first few periods of conduction, the current protection is
disabled (disable time td) to ensure that transient currents
do not trigger the current protection. When the current has
exceeded its limit, the switching device is turned off and
the IC enters the standby state that prevents re-activating
the switching device. Only an interruption of the supply
voltage will reset the standby state.
Output driver
The output driver is capable of driving a low input current
trigger device as well as a device controlled by a gate.
During start-up the output is kept low to prevent turning on
the external switching device.
This has a minimal effect on the voltage division ratio,
since the voltage at the gate of the trigger device is low.
The output driver generates the current pulse, which is
necessary to activate the external switching device TH1.
This current pulse is synchronized with the voltage at pin 4
(V
). The switching device is triggered when Vin reaches
in
the V
level. In that way the current through resistors R1
ign
and R2 is a part of the current needed to activate the
switching device. If necessary, the current pulse is
delivered every half cycle of the mains voltage. When the
switching device must be turned off, the output driver is
capable of sinking the gate turn-off current of the switching
device.
It might be necessary to limit the current peaks, which flow
through the switching device at turn-on, resulting from
discharging the suppressor capacitor (C2). This can be
achieved using a resistor (R3).
G
ATE INPUT DEVICE
A typical application that uses a MOSFET is given in Fig.8.
In this circuit the resistive divider is connected to ground.
The output driver of the IC operates the same way as when
a trigger device is used. The output current pulse will
charge the gate of the MOSFET. As a result, the MOSFET
will be activated.
To keep the MOSFET conductive, a high ohmic pull-up
resistor is connected between the gate of the MOSFET
and the buffer capacitor C1. This is necessary, because
the output current is a pulse and not a continuous signal.
This pull-up resistor increases the current which is drawn
from the buffer capacitor. An internal zener diode in the IC
limits the voltage at the output (and thus at the gate of the
MOSFET) to a typical value of 6.8 V.
Both switching devices require the breakdown voltage
(V
(BR)AK
or V
) to be larger than the ignition voltage of
(BR)DS
the TL-lamp.
T
RIGGER DEVICE
A typical application that uses a low input current trigger
device (such as TN22) as switching device is given in
Fig.7. The resistive divider R1//R2 is not connected to
ground but to the gate of the trigger device.

SOLDERING
Introduction
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“IC Package Databook”
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all SO
packages.
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example,
thermal conduction by heated belt. Dwell times vary
between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating
method. Typical reflow temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C.
Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate
the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 minutes at
45 °C.
(order code 9398 652 90011).
Wave soldering
Wave soldering techniques can be used for all SO
packages if the following conditions are observed:
• A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave) soldering
technique should be used.
• The longitudinal axis of the package footprint must be
parallel to the solder flow.
• The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves at
the downstream end.
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder is
10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 °C within
6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
Repairing soldered joints
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonallyopposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron
(less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact
time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C. When
using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in
one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
