An electronic ballast for a light emitting load is provided, and includes a transformer module, a resonance module, a high-frequency push-pull inverter and a driving controller module. The high-frequency push-pull inverter includes a first switch component and a second switch component. The driving controller module is used for generating and providing an asymmetric driving waveform to the first switch component and the second switch component. The asymmetric driving waveform includes a first discharging waveform portion for discharging and turning off the first switch component, and also a second discharging waveform portion for discharging and turning off the second switch component. The first and second discharging waveform portions are different in current amplitudes and time spans.
