    摘要: An interface circuit is disclosed for operating a light source from an electronic fluorescent driver. In one example, the interface circuit comprises input terminals for connection to lamp connection terminals of the electronic fluorescent lamp driver, a first string interconnecting a first pair of input terminals, a second string interconnecting a second pair of input terminals, a third string interconnecting a first terminal of the first string and a second terminal of the second string and comprising a rectifier, output terminals of said rectifier being coupled during operation to the light source. When a light source is operated making use of the interface circuit, a proper emulation of a fluorescent lamp is obtained.

    摘要: For converting a first DC voltage to a second DC voltage, a first bridge circuit comprised in a power converter is controlled to convert the first DC voltage to a first AC voltage. The first AC voltage is transformed to a second and possibly further AC voltage. The second and each possibly further AC voltage is converted to a DC voltage by respective bridge circuits. To increase efficiency of the power converter switches of the power converter are controlled to operate in soft switching. Thereto a duty cycle of each AC voltage is controlled. In an embodiment, a half-cycle voltage-time integral of each AC voltage is controlled to be substantially equal.

    摘要: A power driver circuit for an electrodeless discharge lamp comprises a push- pull class E converter comprising power supply terminals for receiving a DC supply voltage, and lamp output terminals for supplying power to an antenna of the lamp. The converter has a first switching leg and a second switching leg arranged in parallel between the power supply terminals. The first switching leg has a series arrangement of a first switching element and a first driver circuit inductor having a common first node. The second switching leg has a series arrangement of a second switching element and a second driver circuit inductor having a common second node. The lamp output terminals are coupled between the first node and the second node. A lamp impedance matching network is coupled between the first node and the second node, wherein the impedance matching network comprises at least one series resonant capacitor coupled in series with the lamp output terminals. A starting circuit comprises a series arrangement of a starting inductor and a starting capacitor coupled between a first starting circuit terminal and a second starting circuit terminal. The first starting circuit terminal is coupled between the first switching element of the power driver circuit and a first lamp output terminal. A node coupling the starting inductor and the starting capacitor is configured to be coupled to an ignition appendix of the lamp. A gate drive circuit is configured to supply a near-sinusoidal gate drive current.
