摘要： A fluorescent lamp ballast utilizes a single a transformer for providing both tank inductance and current mode feedback to the ballast driver circuitry. The transformer has an "EE" core with inductor windings on the center legs and gate windings on one of the outer legs. The center leg is gapped to avoid magnetic core saturation and to adjust inductance to a desired value. Coupling can be adjusted further by gapping one or the other of the outer legs.
