Description
Electronic Ballast Controller
Manufacturer
Microsemi Corporation
Datasheet
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4831 is a complete solution for a dimmable, high
power factor, high efficiency electronic ballast. Contained
in the ML4831 are controllers for “boost” type power
factor correction as well as for a dimming ballast.
The Power factor circuit uses the average current sensing
method with a gain modulator and over-voltage
protection. This system produces power factors of better
than 0.99 with low input current THD at > 95%
efficiency. Special care has been taken in the design of the
ML4831 to increase system noise immunity by using a
high amplitude oscillator, and a current fed multiplier. An
over-voltage protection comparator inhibits the PFC
section in the event of a lamp out or lamp failure
condition.
The ballast section provides for programmable starting
scenarios with programmable preheat and lamp out-of-
socket interrupt times. The IC controls lamp output
through either frequency modulation using lamp current
feedback.
The ML4831 is designed using Micro Linear‘s Semi-
Standard tile array technology. Customized versions of this
IC, optimized to specific ballast architectures can be made
available. Contact Micro Linear or an authorized
representative for more information.

... Capacitor C1 as shown in Figure 2 is used to block the DC current to minimize the adverse effect of offsets. Slew rate enhancement is incorporated into all of the operational transconductance amplifiers in the ML4831. This improves the recovery of the circuit in response to power up and transient conditions. The response to large signals will be somewhat non-linear as the transconductance amplifiers change from their low to high transconductance mode ...
