IRS2168DSPBF

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Overview

The IRS2168DSPBF is a Power Factor Correction (PFC) and Ballast Controller IC manufactured by Infineon Technologies. It integrates a PFC controller with a 600V half-bridge driver, designed for high-efficiency power management in lighting applications. The device operates within a frequency range of 42.5kHz to 46.5kHz. It features a 16-SOIC package and supports negative voltage tolerance for the bootstrap supply. The IC provides integrated control for both PFC and ballast functions without external dimming support.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DSPBF' against the official Infineon datasheet to ensure correct packaging and temperature grade. Confirm that the 16-SOIC package variant matches the required PCB footprint. Check for any regional compliance certifications such as RoHS status directly from the manufacturer's current documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined PFC and ballast solution is required for fluorescent lighting systems. Ensure the application does not require digital dimming capabilities, as this model lacks that feature. Verify that the input voltage and load requirements align with the integrated half-bridge driver specifications. Consider thermal management needs associated with the SOIC package in enclosed lighting fixtures.

Lighting, Ballast Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to Infineon's family of lighting and ballast controllers. It combines power management and gate driving functionalities into a single integrated circuit. The design targets cost-effective and space-constrained lighting applications where separate PFC and driver chips would increase complexity. It represents a specialized solution for traditional fluorescent lighting infrastructure.
