    摘要: A low-ripple power supply includes a storage capacitor coupled across load terminals, and an inductor connected to a source of voltage including a varying or pulsatory component and a direct component, for causing a flow of current to said capacitor through the inductor. The varying component of the inductor current flowing in the capacitor results in ripple across the load. A winding is coupled to the inductor for generating a surrogate of the varying inductor current. The surrogate current is added to the inductor current to cancel or reduce the magnitude of the varying current component. This cancellation effectively reduces the varying current component flowing in the storage capacitor, which in turn reduces the ripple appearing across the load terminals.(121)

    摘要: A diagnostic circuit monitors filament currents in hot cathode fluorescent lamps for detecting when the filament erodes to the point of breaking. When such a filament failure is detected, information is processed and a request is sent to replace the lamp before it actually fails. The diagnostic circuit is low power and low voltage and is electrically isolated from the high-voltage end of the lamp. Additionally, a simple circuit to regulate rms value of filament voltage without having to compute or otherwise measure the actual rms value is provided.

    摘要: A ballast system for at least one dimmable fluorescent lamp includes a resonant switching inverter and a controller which controls the inverter to operate above resonance during starting and normal running operation. After a start delay timer allows time for the lamp filaments to heat up, the controller provides control signals to a gate driver to drive the switching devices of the switching inverter initially at a relatively high frequency and then reduces the frequency until a sufficiently high voltage is reached to start the lamp. Once the lamp is started, the inverter is operated in its normal feedback mode. The ballast system further includes an overvoltage shutdown mechanism. During lamp starting, if either the output of the start delay timer is high or the output voltage is greater than a first overvoltage shutdown threshold, then an overvoltage shutdown timer is activated to shut down operation of the inverter for a predetermined overvoltage shutdown period. After the lamp has started, a second overvoltage shutdown threshold is activated which is lower than the first overvoltage threshold for avoiding operation of the inverter below resonance. Both the frequency and duty cycle of the output voltage from the switching inverter are variable to achieve a wide dimming range over a relatively narrow frequency range.
