摘要:
A method and apparatus for detecting a zero crossing or desired phase angle of a power line signal having a variable amplitude uses a ratio between a peak amplitude of the power line signal and the amplitude of the power line signal at a desired phase angle for a known amplitude version of the power line signal to detect when a variable amplitude version of the power line signal is at the desired phase angle or zero crossing. The detection of the phase angle is used to determine if a notch is present in the power line signal. A substantially constant width pulse is generated if a notch is detected regardless of the amplitude of the power line voltage or current. The invention is particularly useful in a lighting system for generating and detecting pulses used to communicate information from a power line communication controller to a series of electronic ballasts over a power line used to power the ballasts. The information can be used to control a dimming function of the ballasts.

A power supply for vacuum fluorescent displays has a source of a relatively high frequency signal which is provided to a power driver amplifier which is also supplied with a desired supply voltage. The output of the driver amplifier is a square-wave signal varying between approximately zero and the supply voltage; this signal is provided to the filament of the vacuum fluorescent display such that the filament is heated and is self-biased at a DC level which is substantially one-half the supply voltage level. Self-biasing a capacitor between the filament and ground, which also allows the RMS level of the voltage across the filament to be controlled by controlling the frequency of the output signal from the driver amplifier. The voltage may be regulated by comparing the RMS voltage across the filament with a reference and using the difference to control the frequency of oscillation of the source. A voltage multiplier may be connected to receive the square-wave output from the driver amplifier to produce a higher level DC voltage which can be used to supply the grid and plate drivers with the higher voltage needed for these elements. Two driver amplifiers may be connected together with circuitry to self-oscillate, with the outputs of the two amplifiers being connected across the filament to heat the filament and self-bias the filament at one-half the DC supply voltage level.

This control, device, for a representative lamp (L1), by way of a power control circuit (20), detects the cathode (1k) from a resistor (TRk1), and controls a high-voltage stabilizing circuit (10), and performs drive controls so that the gate voltages, which were divided from the output voltage (Vgo) from the high-voltage stabilizing circuit (10), become suitable voltages. Moreover, the control device, for other lamps (L2..., Ln), by way of the power control circuit (20), changes the voltage dividing ratio of impedance dividing by resistors (R2_1, R2_2, ..., Rn_1,Rn_2) for the Output voltage (Vgo) using control elements (Q2, ...., Qn), and performs control so that the cathode current of each of the lamps (L2,..., Ln) becomes the same as the cathode current of the representative lamp (L1)

A method of lighting a high-pressure discharge lamp (X) is configured to change a power to be supplied to the high-pressure discharge lamp (X) in accordance with a luminance parameter (P) of an image content (C). The method includes switching between a low temperature operation and a high temperature operation so as to maintain a condition that mercury (30) encapsulated into an arc tube part (18) of the high-pressure discharge lamp (X) constantly partially deposits without evaporating. The low temperature operation is performed where the temperature in the arc tube part (18) is less than or equal to the deposition temperature of the mercury (30), whereas the high temperature operation is performed where the temperature in the arc tube part (18) is greater than the deposition temperature of the mercury (30).

The discharge lamp lighting device in accordance with the present invention includes a controller configured to perform an abnormality judgment process of judging whether or not abnormality has occurred based on a measured value of a driving voltage defined as an AC voltage applied to a discharge lamp. The controller is configured to, in the abnormality judgment process, judge whether or not an asymmetric state in which the driving voltage lacks symmetry has occurred over a predetermined period. The controller is configured to, upon concluding that the asymmetric state has occurred over the predetermined period, conclude that the abnormality has occurred.
