STMicroelectronics 20 W Electronic Compact Fluorescent Lighting Balast, 264 Vac

This demonstration board represents a 20W dimmable CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) ballast design which can completely replace incandescent lamps in dimming systems. The controlled dimming range is from below 20% up to 100% of full light output without changing the triac dimmer. Compared to formal CFL designs, this dimmable design provides not only energy savings, but also higher reliability and significantly longer operating life. It is based on the high performance ballast driver L6574, two STD4NK50Z power MOSFETs, a Zener-protected SuperMESH™ power MOSFET and two STTH1L06 Turbo 2 ultrafast high-voltage rectifiers.
