Hello, I’m looking for Ballast ICs for driving UV-C disinfection lamps. The ICB2FL03G showed to be a great choice based on a number of integrated controller and safety features and is really cost-effective. Although I’m looking for something which can be driven from low voltage DC, similar as 12V. The ICB2FL03G appears to be designed for AC-line applications with 90-270Vac input.

Would it be possible to use this IC and reconfigure the circuit to use a resonant oscillator and step- up transformer? such ICs similar as the LT1768 from direct technologies are designed to do this for CCFL applications. However, are there any reference circuits or guidance on this?
If so.
However, does Infineon have any other ICs which may be suitable of this? Ideally able of running from a single or multi-cell li-ion or li-poly battery, If not.

Looking forward for your Answer

Thank You

    Hi @Swiftconnect, The ICB2FL03G's turn-on threshold is 14.0 volts, still, the input voltage needed for your application is 12 volts. Therefore, ICB2FL03G will not be the best option for your application. We do not presently have any other dedicated controller for UV-C disinfection lamps except for tRead more

    Hi Swiftconnect,
