UBA2021 evaluation board
1. Introduction
This document describes the UBA2021 main board in combination with the UBA2021
daughter board. The main board is designed to be a flexible platform for demonstrating
the functionality of the UBA2014 and UBA2021 fluorescent tube drivers in different
applications. Please note that this board is not a complete ballast design for fluorescent
tubes. The default setup permits a T5 HE 35 W fluorescent lamp to be demonstrated.
2. Safety warnings and cautions
Remark: Galvanic isolation of the mains phase using a variable transformer is always
recommended. These devices can be recognized by the symbols shown in Figure 1.
The board is intended as an evaluation board to build different TL and or CFL
applications. To optimize flexibility, almost no protection is build in (except for IC internal
protection). The board does not conform with any safety norm.
CAUTIONS:
•Do not supply voltages to the board without a daughter board correctly inserted.
Failing to do so may damage the board.
•Always operate with burner (lamp) connected to the board and connected to the
resonant circuit. Failing to do so may damage the board.
•Do not use the UBA2021 daughter board in combination with the (old) V1.1 main
board. The V1.1 board is blue instead of green.
WARNING
Lethal voltage and fire ignition hazard
The non-insulated high voltages that are present when operating this product, constitute a
risk of electric shock, personal injury, death and/or ignition of fire.
This product is intended for evaluation purposes only. It shall be operated in a designated test
area by personnel qualified according to local requirements and labor laws to work with
non-insulated mains voltages and high-voltage circuits. This product shall never be operated
unattended.

3. Board description
The board consists of two separate PCBs. The main board with the resonance circuit and
a small daughter board with the UBA2021 IC.
3.1 Daughter board
The daughter board contains the UBA2021 IC with the preheat, sweep and oscillator
capacitors, the low voltage supply (VDD) components and some other low voltage
components.
The daughter PCB can easily be replaced if it becomes damaged. Care should be taken
that the board is inserted properly and to assist this, pin 11 has been removed from the
daughter board to prevent inserting the board incorrectly.
3.2 Main board
The main board has been designed for both TL or CFL applications and comprises the
following:
•DC and AC input connectors
•Dimming input
•Two sockets for FETs
•Two different transformers
•Area for experiments
•Connectors for up to four burners

4. Schematics
Figure 4 is a schematic of the daughter board with the UBA2021 IC. The component
values for the oscillator and sweep are RREF = 30 kΩ, CF = 100 pF, CP = 330 nF. These
values will give a minimum oscillator frequency of 39.5 kHz and a preheat time of 1.85 s.

5. Connectors
5.1 Power supply connectors
The board can be supplied by either a high voltage DC or a mains AC input. For most
applications the high voltage DC input should be used. In the final product, a PFC of
choice may be used to replace the high voltage DC supply.
For some applications (such as CFL applications) the rectified mains is sufficient. In these
cases a mains input of 230 VAC may be used.
5.2 Dimming input
The UBA2021 does not have dimming functionality so this input is not used. If dimming is
required, please use the UBA2014.
5.3 Lamp connectors
There are four lamp connectors on the board. The connectors are listed in Table 3,
Table 4, Table 5 and Table 6, together with the names of the test points that are connected
to them.
