    摘要: A dimming ballast lamp includes a lamp, a ballast circuit for converting AC input power to AC output power, a dimming interface circuit for generating a dimming control signal having a voltage level indicative of a selected dimming level of the lamp and a dimming circuit responsive to the dimming control signal for controlling operation of the ballast circuit. A feedback control circuit detects the lamp voltage and produces a feedback control signal in response to the lamp voltage exceeding a perscribed threshold voltage level. The dimming circuit, responsive to the feedback control signal, controls operation of the ballast circuit so as to increase lamp current thereby increasing the dimming level of the lamp, ensuring low temperature ignition of the lamp and protecting against lamp shutdown.

    摘要: A striation correction circuit 300 is arranged to apply a first striation correction current to the first fluorescent lamp L1 and a second striation correction current to the second fluorescent lamp L2. A first voltage appearing across the first fluorescent tube L1 due to the first striation correction current is substantially similar in magnitude but has inverted polarity with respect to a second voltage across the second fluorescent tube L2 due to the second striation correction current. Detection of an end-of-life condition of a fluorescent lamp is facilitated.

    摘要: A temperature-compensated voltage regulator includes a field effect transistor voltage buffer which receives a high-voltage input and provides a low-voltage output, and a voltage generator having a series connection of a zener diode and at least one p-n junction diode for generating a reference voltage. The voltage generator is coupled between the low-voltage output of the voltage buffer and the input of a current mirror, with the output of the current mirror being coupled to the gate electrode of the field effect transistor in the voltage buffer. Additionally, the output of the current mirror is coupled to the low-voltage output of the voltage buffer by a resistor. The resulting voltage regulator circuit features high performance in a simple, economical configuration.

    摘要: A current limit circuit for protection of an intelligent power switch includes a series circuit of a sense transistor and a sense resistor coupled to the power semiconductor transistor switch so that the sense resistor current is a fraction of, and is proportional to, the power transistor current. A pull-down transistor is coupled to the control electrode of the power transistor switch. A feedback circuit including a series connection of a diode-connected transistor and a reference V source is coupled between the sense resistor and the control electrode of the pull down transistor. The feedback circuit produces a voltage level shift and the circuit provides an accurate limit on the power transistor current independent of any variations in threshold voltage.
