FAN7532M

Overview

The FAN7532M is a ballast controller manufactured by onsemi, formerly Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates within a frequency range of 48kHz to 52kHz and supports a supply voltage range of 11V to 15.6V. The device is housed in a 16-SOIC package with a maximum power dissipation of 940 mW. It functions as an electronic ballast controller without integrated dimming capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Integrated control logic for electronic ballast applications
• Fixed operating frequency range for standard lamp compatibility
• Surface-mount packaging for automated assembly

Applications

• Electronic ballast systems
• Fluorescent lighting drivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the component was originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor and is now managed by onsemi following corporate acquisition. Confirm the specific suffix 'M' corresponds to the 16-SOIC package variant. Check current lifecycle status as distribution channels may list this part as obsolete or limited stock depending on regional availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component specifically for non-dimmable electronic ballast designs requiring operation between 48kHz and 52kHz. Ensure the system power supply provides a stable voltage within the 11V to 15.6V operating range. Consider thermal management requirements given the 940 mW power dissipation limit in the SOIC-16 package.

Part Context

This component belongs to the FAN7532 series of ballast controllers. It serves as a dedicated integrated circuit for managing high-frequency AC generation for fluorescent lamps. The device replaces discrete transistor-based solutions, offering a compact footprint and simplified design implementation for lighting manufacturers.
