iT6801
SELF-OSCILLATING HALF-BRIDGE DRIVER
1. Description
2. Features
iT6801 is a half-bridge driver with programmable
oscillator within a SOP-8L package to drive both
lower MOSFET and floating upper MOSFET. It is
suitable for electronic ballast of fluorescent lamp.
It is equipped with internal clamp of 17.2 V zener
diode, so the VCC voltage is easily regulated. For
proper operation assurance and low power start-
up, it is designed with internal under voltage
lockout (UVLO), so it takes little current for supply
capacitor voltage to builds up. Oscillator frequency
is controlled by the current drawn out from RT,
which acts as minimum base frequency. The
same current is duplicated internally to double
base frequency for preheat.
