摘要： An electronic ballast for driving a gas discharge lamp includes a power converter for generating a DC bus voltage, where the bus voltage is controlled to different magnitudes during different operating modes of the ballast. The ballast comprises a control circuit that is coupled to the power converter for adjusting the magnitude of the bus voltage to a first magnitude when the lamp is off, to a second magnitude when preheating filaments of the lamp, and to a third magnitude when the lamp is on. The control circuit is also operable to preemptively adjust the magnitude of the bus voltage prior to changing modes of operation. For example, when turning the load on, the control circuit first adjusts a power-conversion-drive level of the power converter to begin adjusting the magnitude of the bus voltage towards a predetermined magnitude, and then waits for a predetermined time period before attempting to turn the load on.

摘要： An electronic ballast circuit for driving a gas discharge lamp is operable to control the lamp to avoid flicking and flashing of the intensity of the lamp during low temperature conditions. The ballast circuit includes an inverter circuit for receiving a DC bus voltage and for generating a high-frequency output voltage, a resonant tank circuit for receiving the high-frequency output voltage and generating a sinusoidal voltage for driving said lamp, and a control circuit operatively coupled to the inverter circuit for adjusting an intensity of the lamp between a minimum intensity and a maximum intensity. The control circuit receives a control signal representative of a lamp temperature of the lamp, and increases the minimum intensity of the lamp if the lamp temperature of the lamp drops below a cold temperature threshold. In addition, the ballast circuit may also include a temperature sensing circuit operable to generate the control signal representative of the lamp temperature of the lamp.

摘要： An electronic ballast for driving a gas discharge lamp includes a rectifier to convert an AC mains input voltage to a rectified voltage, a valley-fill circuit for producing a DC bus voltage, an inverter for converting the DC bus voltage to a high-frequency AC voltage for driving the lamp, a control circuit for controlling the inverter, and a flyback cat-ear power supply for supplying current to the inverter when the rectified voltage is less than a predetermined level. The flyback cat-ear power supply also provides power to the control circuit. Preferably, the flyback cat-ear power supply draws current only when the inverter is not drawing current directly from the AC mains, so as to make the input current to the ballast substantially sinusoidal. The result is a ballast having substantially improved power factor and THD. Also, the ballast operates more efficiently because the flyback cat-ear ear power supply supplies excess energy not needed by the ballast control circuitry to the inverter to be used to drive the lamp.

摘要： An LED driver for controlling the intensity of an LED light source includes a power converter circuit for generating a DC bus voltage, an LED drive circuit for receiving the bus voltage and controlling a load current through, and thus the intensity of, the LED light source, and a controller operatively coupled to the power converter circuit and the LED drive circuit. The LED drive circuit comprises a controllable-impedance circuit adapted to be coupled in series with the LED light source. The controller adjusts the magnitude of the bus voltage to a target bus voltage and generates a drive signal for controlling the controllable-impedance circuit. To adjust the intensity of the LED light source, the controller controls both the magnitude of the load current and the magnitude of the regulator voltage. The controller controls the magnitude of the regulator voltage by simultaneously maintaining the magnitude of the drive signal constant and adjusting the target bus voltage.
