High/Low Side Driving Section:
High and low side driving sections provide the proper drive to the external power MOSFET. A high sink/
source driving current (450/250 mA typical) ensures fast switching times when a size 4 external power
MOSFET needs to be driven.
Bootstrap Section:
A patented integrated bootstrap section replaces an external bootstrap diode. This section together with
a bootstrap capacitor provides the bootstrap voltage to drive the high side power MOSFET. This function
is achieved using a high voltage DMOS driver which is driven synchronously with the low side external
power MOSFET.
For a safe operation, current flow into the Vboot pin is inhibited, even though ZVS operation may not be
ensured.
Timing Section:
To set the proper preheat time (tpre=kpre*Cpre) for the bulb, a capacitor is connected to the Cpre pin
which is charged with a fixed current. During tpre, the output is switching at fpre (see Oscillator Section).
When the tpre expires, the Cpre capacitor is discharged and then recharged with a different current. This
sets a second time interval tsh (0.1 times the selected preheat time tpre) during which frequency shifting
from fpre to fing is performed to ensure lamp ignition.

Oscillator Section:
A voltage controlled oscillator, with the selected frequencies fpre and fing, drives the output half bridge.
Independently selected, fpre is effective during tpre and fing is effective during normal lamp burning. When
working open loop, fpre and fing are the highest and lowest allowed oscillation frequencies.
Closed loop control of the lamp current under normal operation can be achieved with the L6574. This is
accomplished by automatic adjustment of the oscillator frequency. The OP AMP output is fed through a
resistor diode network to the Ring pin. See AN 993.
OP AMP Section:
The integrated OP AMP offers low output impedance, wide bandwidth, high input impedance and wide
common mode range. It can be readily used to implement closed loop control (see Oscillator Section) of
the lamp current.
EN1, EN2 Comparators:
Two CMOS comparators, with thresholds set at 0.6 V (typical) are available to implement protection meth-
ods (such as overvoltage, lamp removal, etc.). Short pulses (>200nsec) at the comparator inputs are rec-
ognized.
The EN1 input (active high) forces the L6574 in the shut down state (e.g. LVG low, HVG low, oscillator
stopped) in the event of an undervoltage condition. Normal operating condition is resumed after a power-
off power-on sequence or when EN2 input is high.
The EN2 input (active high) also restarts a preheat sequence (see timing diagrams).
