The FAN7710, developed using Fairchild’s unique high-voltage process and system-in-package (SiP) concept, is a ballast control integrated circuit (IC) for a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). The FAN7710 controls internal high-voltage stress and delivers 20W to the lamp at 310V_DC voltage. FAN7710 incorporates a preheating / ignition function, controlled by an user-selected external capacitor, to increase lamp life. The FAN7710 detects switch operation from after ignition-mode through an internal active Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) control circuit. This control scheme enables the FAN7710 to detect an open-lamp condition, without the expense of external circuitry, and prevents stress on MOSFETs. The high-side driver built into the FAN7710 has a common-mode noise cancellation circuit that provides robust operation against high-dv/dt noise intrusion.
