Application information TN22
6/14 DocID3768 Rev 5
2 Application information
2.1 Overview
The TN22 has been designed for use as a fluorescent tube starter switch.
As shown in Figure 12, the starter circuit is divided in five parts:
1. Rectifier bridge: to rectify mains voltage.
2. Voltage detector: RCD circuit used to switch on the TN22.
3. Preheating time control: RC circuit used to switch on the SCR, so turn off the TN22.
4. Ignition circuit: made of sensitive SCR and TN22 devices.
5. Reset control: resistor used to discharge the C2 capacitor and to reset the circuit.
