FL Controller 16-Pin DSO T/R

The new ICB2FL03G in a slim SO-16 package is the latest extension of Infineon"s smart ballast controller family. It is tailored for cost-performance optimized applications operating serial connected FL/CFL lamps. The performance and feature set of the ICB2FL03G is very similar to the well established ICB2FL01G in a SO-19 package. The product integrates all functions required to operate FL lamps such as preheat-, ignition- and run-mode and protection features. Digital mixed-signal power control is employed enabling speedy, cost-effective and stable ballast designs with a minimum number of external components. Reliable and robust high voltage isolation is achieved using Infineon’s proprietary Coreless Transformer Technology (CLT)
