7.4.1 Coil saturation protection
7.4 Protection and power-down
Coil saturation protection is integrated into the IC to allow for the use of small CFL lamps
and use of small coils. Saturation of these coils is detected and excessive overcurrent due
to saturation is prevented. Coil saturation protection is only enabled during the ignition
state. To limit voltages and currents in the resonant circuit when there is no ignition or
delayed ignition, a cycle-by-cycle control mechanism is used to prevent coil saturation.
This control also limits the high peak current and dissipation in the half-bridge power
transistors.
Coil saturation is detected by monitoring the voltage across the R
generated when this voltage exceeds the V
fixed current I
the half-bridge. The injected current is maintained until the end of the switching cycle. This
action immediately increases the half-bridge switching frequency. Furthermore, in each
successive cycle that coil saturation is detected, capacitor C
ignition time-out detection in the ignition state.
