NCP5104BA36WGEVB: 36W CFL, 85 ~ 145V/184 ~ 265VAC in

This document describes how the NCP5104 driver can be implemented in a ballast application.

The scope of this evaluation board user's manual is to highlight the NCP5104 driver and not to explain or detailed how to build electronic ballast.

The NCP5104 is a high voltage power MOSFET driver providing two outputs for direct drive of 2 N-channel power MOSFETs arranged in a half-bridge configuration with only one input. It uses the bootstrap technique to insure a proper drive of the High-side power switch. The driver works with one input to accommodate half-bridge topology with a fixed dead time of 520 ns.
