Evaluation Board for Des Ballast 4Level Dim Fluor

The IRPLDIM5E reference design kit consists of a dimming fluorescent ballast, with a microcontroller driven dimming control system providing four fixed levels and actuated by power re-cycle pulses of less than one second, driving a single 25W CFL lamp. The design contains an EMI filter and a dimming ballast control circuit using the IRS2530D. This demo board is intended to help with the evaluation of the IRS2530D (DIM8) dimming ballast control IC, demonstrate PCB layout techniques and serve as an aid in the development of production ballasts using the IRS2530D.
