2. Description
The IRPLDIM3 reference design kit consists of a high power factor wide input voltage range
dimming Fluorescent ballast, with a fully isolated 0 to 10V control interface, driving a single T5 28 W
rapid start linear lamp. The design contains an EMI filter, active power factor correction and a dimming
ballast control circuit using the PDIP16 version of IRS2158D. This demo board is intended to help with the
evaluation of the IRS2158D dimming ballast control IC, demonstrate PCB layout techniques and serve as
an aid in the development of production ballasts using the IRS2158D
