AMG-LM302
Ballast Controller for Metal Halide Lamps
1. Functional Description of the AMG-LM302
The AMG-LM302 is a Ballast Controller IC for Metal Halide Lamps (HID, CDM, HQI…).
The AMG-LM302 integrates all functions necessary for control off Metal Halide lamps
including power factor correction (PFC), ignition voltage generation and overdrive, current
supply and power management. The ballast controller specifically supports high stability of
color temperature.
2. Features
PFC
PFC operates in current controlled transition mode (TM) with overvoltage protection
Separate undervoltage lockout for PFC and HID part
Zero current detection for TM operation
Real multiplier for excellent THD
High pulse current driver output for HV Power MOS
Internal reference voltage
HID
Current mode controlled buck converter
Buck converter with Driver for external transistor
Power drive mode for HV MOSFETS
Safe ignition through burst oscillation
30kHz PWM in capture compare mode with maximum duty cycle of 50%
Regulation of lamp power
Slope compensation
Open load and short-circuit detection
Completely adjustable current and power ramp during lamp warm-up period
Full bridge drive for acoustic control
Automatic time control for all function
Monitoring of lamp state
General
Wide supply range of 14.5V to 35V
Low power startup current
Disable function to shut down the ballast and reduce power consumption
Over temperature protection
Short-circuit protected
Ambient temperature range: -25°C to +125°C
Package: TQFP48
3. Application
The AMG-LM302 is suitable for all application where the light spectrum and color temperature
of the sun, which is given by Metal Halide lamps, are needed. The AMG-LM302 controls the
whole lamp ballast and thus not only provides for a low cost solution, but also one, which is
high quality and easy to design.
