This feedback keeps the peak preheat current
regulated to the user-programmable setting on pin
IPH for the duration of the preheat time. An
internal current source connected to an external
resistor on pin IPH sets a voltage reference for
the peak pre-heat current. The pre-heat time
continues until the voltage on pin CPH exceeds
5V.
Ignition (IGN)
The IR21592/IR21593 enters ignition mode when
the voltage on pin CPH exceeds 5V. The peak
current regulation reference voltage is
disconnected from the user-programmable
setting on pin IPH and is connected to a higher
internal threshold of 1.6V (Figure 9).

The ignition ramp is then initiated as the
capacitor on pin VCO discharges linearly
through an internal 1uA current source. The
frequency decreases linearly towards the
resonance frequency of the high-Q ballast output
stage, causing the lamp voltage and load current
to increase (Figure 10).
continues to decrease until the lamp ignites or
the current limit of the IR21592/IR21593 is
reached. If the current limit is reached, the
IR21592/IR21593 enters FAULT mode. The 1.6V
threshold together with the external current
sensing resistor on pin CS determine the
maximum allowable peak ignition current (and
therefore peak ignition voltage) of the ballast
output stage. The peak ignition current must not
exceed the maximum allowable current ratings
of the output stage MOSFETs or IGBTs, and,
the resonant inductor must not saturate at
any time.
To prevent a "flash" across the lamp during
ignition at low dim settings, an ignition detection
