The L6382D5 is suitable for microcontrolled
electronic ballasts embedding a PFC stage and a
half-bridge stage. The L6382D5 includes 4
MOSFET driving stages (for the PFC, for the half
bridge, for the preheating MOSFET) plus a power
management unit (PMU) featuring also a
reference able to supply the microcontroller in any
condition.
Besides increasing the application efficiency, the
L6382D5 reduces the bill of materials because
different tasks (regarding drivers and power
management) are performed by a single IC, which
improves the application reliability.
Designed in High-voltage BCD Off-line technology, the L6382D5 is provided with 4 inputs
pin and a high voltage start-up generator conceived for applications managed by a
microcontroller. It allows the designer to use the same ballast circuit for different lamp
wattage/type by simply changing the µC software.
The digital input pins - able to receive signals up to 400KHz - are connected to level shifters
that provide the control signals to their relevant drivers; in particular the L6382D5 embeds
one driver for the PFC pre-regulator stage, two drivers for the ballast half-bridge stage (High
Voltage, including also the bootstrap function) and the last one to provide supplementary
features like preheating of filaments supplied through isolated filaments in dimmable
applications.
A precise reference voltage (+5V ±2%) able to provide up to 30mA is available to supply the
µC in operating
is up to 10mA and it is provided by the internal high voltage start-up generator.
The chip has been conceived with advanced power management logic to minimize power
losses and increase the application reliability.
In the half-bridge section, a patented integrated bootstrap section replaces the external
bootstrap diode.

The L6382D5 integrates also a function that regulates the IC supply voltage (without the
need of any external charge pump) and optimizes the current consumption.

With reference to the timing diagram of figure 6, when power is first applied to the converter,
the voltage on the bulk capacitor (Vin) builds up and the HV generator is enabled to operate
drawing about 10mA. This current, diminished by the IC consumption (less than 150µA),
charges the bypass capacitor connected between pin Vcc and ground and makes its voltage
rise almost linear.

6.3 Drivers
●LSD (Low Side Driver): it consists of a level shifter from 5V logic signal (LSI) to Vcc
MOS driving level; conceived for the half-bridge low-side power MOS, it is able to
source and sink 120mA (min).
●HSD (Level Shifter and High Side Driver): it consists of a level shifter from 5V logic
signal (HSI) to the high side gate driver input up to 600V. Conceived for the half-bridge
high-side power MOS, the HSD is able to source and sink 120mA.
●PFD (Power Factor Driver): it consists of a level shifter from 5V logic signal (PFI) to Vcc
MOS driving level: the driver is able to source 120mA from V
sink 250mA to GND (turn-off); it is suitable to drive the MOS of the PFC pre-regulator
stage.
●HED (Heat Driver): it consists of a level shifter from 5V logic signal (HEI) to Vcc MOS
driving level; the driver is able to source 30mA from Vcc to HEG and to sink 75mA to
GND and it is suitable for the filament heating when they are supplied by independent
winding.
●Bootstrap Circuit: it generates the supply voltage for the high side Driver (HSD). This
circuit sources current from V
to PIN HSB when LSG in ON. A patented integrated
CC
bootstrap section replaces an external bootstrap diode. This section together with a
bootstrap capacitor provides the bootstrap voltage to drive the high side power
MOSFET. This function is achieved using a high voltage DMOS driver which is driven
synchronously with the low side external power MOSFET. For a safe operation, current
flow between BOOT pin and Vcc is always inhibited, even though ZVS operation may
not be ensured.

6.4 Internal logic, over current protection (OCP) and interlocking
function
The DIM (Digital Input Monitor) block manages the input signals delivered to the drivers
ensuring that they are low during the described start-up procedure; the DIM block controls
the L6382D5 behaviour during both save
When the voltage on pin CSI overcomes the internal reference of 0.54V (typ.) the block
latches the fault condition: in this state the OCP block forces low both HSG and LSG signals
while CSO will be forced high. This condition remains latched until LSI and HSI are
simultaneously low and CSI is below 0.54V.
This function is suitable to implement an over current protection or hard-switching detection
by using an external sense resistor.
As the voltage on pin CSI can go negative, the current must be limited below 2mA by
external components.
Another feature of the DIM block is the internal interlocking that avoids cross-conduction in
the half-bridge FET's: if by chance both HSI and LSI input's are brought high at the same
time, then LSG and HSG are forced low as long as this critical condition persists.
