IRS2168DPBF

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Overview

The IRS2168DPBF is a Power Factor Correction (PFC) and ballast controller IC manufactured by Infineon Technologies. It integrates a 600V half-bridge driver suitable for fluorescent lighting applications. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 11.5V to 16.6V and supports frequencies between 42.5kHz and 46.5kHz. It utilizes a push-pull switcher configuration and is housed in a 16-DIP package with a width of 7.62mm.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-voltage half-bridge driver for direct control of power switches
• Designed specifically for PFC and ballast control in lighting systems
• Supports standard fluorescent lighting operational frequencies

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Applications

• Fluorescent lamp ballast control
• Power factor correction circuits
• Lighting system power management

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify component status as the IRS2168DPBF is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets. Ensure compatibility with existing design constraints before procurement, as new designs should consider alternative active components.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component only for legacy maintenance or specific retrofitting where the 16-DIP package and integrated 600V driver are required. Evaluate if newer active replacements from the same family offer better performance or availability. Check pinout compatibility if substituting in existing PCB layouts.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to Infineon's lighting and ballast controller portfolio. It combines control logic with power driving capabilities to simplify circuit design for AC-DC conversion in lighting. The DIP-16 package facilitates through-hole mounting, distinguishing it from surface-mount variants like the SOIC version.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Replacement Considerations

Check for active equivalents such as the IRS2168DSTRPBF (SOIC package) or other updated PFC controllers from Infineon. Verify that any substitute maintains the 600V driver rating and compatible frequency range.
