DESCRIPTION
The EFS Kit is a 2 chips set used with 7 additional
passive components, for Glow switch Starter.
The ASD(Application SpecificDiscretes)
includes a bi-directional Power Switch and a
Power Supply for the driver.
The driver provides a program to ensure a fully
optimised linear fluorescent lamp ignition.

When the starter has to be protected against over-temperature, over-current or short circuit, it is
recommended to implement a thermal fuse in series with the starter.
Tomeet (IEC 926)standards,a capacitor (f.i.5nF) can beconnected betweenpin 3and pin 4 ofthe ASD.
BOARD ASSEMBLY
PCB with Pentawatt HV and SO14
DRILL and CUT the track
for SHORT preheat -->
for LONG preheat -->
Pin 2 is the preheat time select pin. To select a shortpreheat time, drill to cut the Vcc to pin 2 track at the
metallic hole. To select a long preheat time, drill to cut the GND to pin 2 track. The layout must be
configured for either choice to avoid supply short circuit.
