General operation
The L6567 uses a small amount of current from a supply resistor(s) to start the operation of the IC. Once start
up condition isachieved, the IC turns on the lower MOS transistor of the half bridge which allows the bootstrap
capacitor to charge. Once this is achieved, the oscillator begins toturn on the upper and lower MOStransistors
at high frequency, and immediately ramps down to a preheat frequency. During this stage, the IC preheats the
lamp and after a predetermined time ramps down again until it reaches the final operating frequency. The IC
monitors thecurrentto determine if the circuitisoperating in capacitivemode.If capacitive switchingis detected,
the IC increases the output frequency until zero-voltage switching is resumed.
Startup and supply in normal operation

During ignition and steady state the operating frequency is higher than the resonance frequency of the load

order to maintain Zero Voltage Switching.
If the operating frequency undershoots the resonance frequency ZVS doesn’t occur and causes hard switching
of theMOStransistors. The L6567 detects this situation by measuring V
on. At pin 9 there is an internal comparatorwith thresholdV
assumed and the frequency is increased as long as this situation is present. The shift is determined by CI.

During ignition the frequency variation is ~ -200Hz/ms.
If slower variations are needed, CI has to be increased.
