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 comprises an inverter circuit that operates in a partially self-oscillating manner. The inverter circuit comprises a push-pull converter having a main transformer having a primary winding for producing a high-frequency AC voltage, semiconductor switches electrically coupled to the primary winding of the main transformer for conducting current through the primary winding on an alternate basis, and gate drive circuits for controlling the semiconductor switches on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The drive circuits control (e.g., turn on) the semiconductor switches in response to first control signals derived from the main transformer, and control (e.g., turn off) the semiconductor switches in response to second control signals received from a control circuit.

摘要： A hybrid light source comprises a discrete-spectrum lamp (for example, a fluorescent lamp) and a continuous-spectrum lamp (for example, a halogen lamp). A control circuit individually controls the amount of power delivered to the discrete-spectrum lamp and the continuous-spectrum lamp in response to a phase-controlled voltage generated by a connected dimmer switch, such that a total light output of the hybrid light source ranges throughout a dimming range. The discrete-spectrum lamp is turned off and the continuous-spectrum lamp produces all of the total light intensity of the hybrid light source when the total light intensity is below a transition intensity. The continuous-spectrum lamp is driven by a continuous-spectrum lamp drive circuit, which is operable to conduct a charging current of a power supply of the dimmer switch and to provide a path for enough current to flow through the hybrid light source, such that the magnitude of the current exceeds rated latching and holding currents of a thyristor of the dimmer.

摘要： An electronic ballast for driving a gas discharge lamp comprises a measurement circuit for measuring a lamp current flowing through the lamp and a lamp voltage produced across the lamp. The ballast comprises a first winding magnetically coupled to a main transformer of an inverter circuit, and a second winding magnetically coupled to a resonant inductor of a resonant tank circuit. The first and second windings are coupled in series electrical connection to generate a voltage representative of the magnitude of the lamp voltage. The ballast further comprises a current transformer having primary windings coupled in series with the electrodes of the lamp. The measurement circuit integrates the current conducted through secondary windings of the current transformer only during every other half-cycle of the lamp voltage to generate a control signal representative of the magnitude of the lamp current that is in-phase with the lamp voltage.

摘要： An electronic ballast for driving a gas discharge lamp avoids mercury pumping in the lamp by adaptively changing an operating frequency of an inverter of the ballast when operating near high-end. The inverter of the ballast generates a high-frequency AC voltage, which is characterized by the operating frequency and an operating duty cycle. The ballast also comprises a resonant tank for coupling the high-frequency AC voltage to the lamp to generate a present lamp current through the lamp, and a current sense circuit for determining the magnitude of the present lamp current. A hybrid analog/digital control circuit controls both the operating frequency and the operating duty cycle of the inverter with closed-loop techniques. The control circuit adjusts the duty cycle of the inverter in response to a target lamp current and the present lamp current. To avoid mercury pumping, the control circuit attempts to maximize the duty cycle of the inverter when operating at high-end. Specifically, the control circuit adjusts the operating frequency of the inverter in response to the target lamp current signal, the duty cycle of the inverter, and a target duty cycle in order to drive the operating duty cycle toward the target duty cycle.
