About this manual

The L6574 is an integrated circuit designed to drive two power MOSFETs in a half-bridge topology for fluorescent lamp applications. It features BCD OFFLINE technology to support high voltage ratings exceeding 600V and includes a dedicated timing section for preheat and ignition sequences.

The device incorporates an integrated bootstrap section to eliminate the need for an external bootstrap diode and a sense op-amp for closed-loop control of lamp current. It provides high sink/source driving currents (450mA/250mA) to ensure fast switching times for external power MOSFETs.
