About this manual

This document describes an application developed to supply two 18W fluorescent lamps. The circuit consists of two sections: a Power Factor Corrected (PFC) preregulator using the L6561 IC, and a lamp ballast stage using the L6569 IC. The PFC section boosts the rectified AC mains voltage to a controlled DC value of 400 Volts using transition mode control. The ballast section utilizes a high voltage half-bridge driver with a built-in oscillator to operate the lamps in Zero Voltage Switching mode, reducing switching losses and electromagnetic interference.
