UC3872QG3

The UC3872 is a resonant lamp ballast controller optimized for driving cold cathode fluorescent, neon, and other gas discharge lamps. The resonant power stage develops a sinusoidal lamp drive voltage, and minimizes switching loss and EMI generation. Lamp intensity adjustment is accomplished with a buck regulator, which is synchronized to the external power stage???s resonant frequency. Suitable for automotive and battery powered applications, the UC3872 draws only 1???A when disabled. Soft start and open lamp detect circuitry have been incorporated to minimize component stresses.
