OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION AND INHIBIT
The OVP pin serves to protect the power circuit from
being subjected to excessive voltages if the load should
change suddenly (lamp removal). A divider from the high
voltage DC bus sets the OVP trip level. When the voltage
on PVFB/OVP exceeds 2.75V, the PFC transistor are
inhibited. The ballast section will continue to operate.
TRANSCONDUCTANCE AMPLIFIERS
The PFC voltage feedback amplifier is implemented as an
operational transconductance amplifier. It is designed to
have low small signal forward transconductance such that
a large value of load resistor (R1) and a low value
ceramic capacitor (<1µF) can be used for AC coupling
