摘要:
An electronic ballast is provided, which includes first and second output nodes, first and second lamp outputs, and a lamp interface network. The lamp interface network includes an LC circuit coupled between at least one of the first and second output nodes and a respective one of the first and second lamp outputs.

An embodiment of the present invention pertains to a multiple discharge load electronic ballast system, including a distribution bus and a plurality of electronic ballasts. The distribution bus has a nominal distribution power rating. The plurality of electronic ballasts are operatively coupled to the distribution bus. A respective electronic ballast comprises adaptations for DC voltage control and an alternating current (AC) output, and has a maximum ballast power rating. A sum of the maximum ballast power ratings of the plurality of electronic ballasts is greater than the nominal distribution power rating of the distribution bus.
摘要:
A single-ended DC-to-DC power converter which is operative at very high switching frequencies with zero-voltage resonant transition switching. A single magnetic element functions as both a storage inductor and a transformer. A charging capacitor is switched to induce a reversal current through the inductor for providing the zero-voltage switching function. Control to output characteristics are identical to those of conventional buck and buck-boost converters. The invention provides efficient, high-frequency operation and isolation of the output from the input power source with minimal component volume. The control system is adaptable to constant frequency pulse width modulation for voltage regulation.
摘要:
A single stage power conditioner which produces an isolated DC output while drawing resistive input current from the utility has been described. A high frequency switch-mode technique was used which operates in continuous conduction mode to reduce electro-magnetic interference (EMI) generation and ripple losses.

A pair of quantized duty ratio proportional-integral-differential (PID) converters are coupled to provide power sharing to a load. One of the converters is a master and the other is a slave, and a PID controller is coupled to both of the converters. The PID controller also supplies two digital offset signals to the converters during normal operation, which insures load sharing by control of the duty ratio of the converters. If one of the converters fails, a sensor control unit switches control to the other unit and the digital offset signal goes to zero.

A biasing network comprising two nominal type GZ 2422D transorbs, two resistors nominal 68 ohms and one resistor nominal 110 ohms replicated at each combined differential current driver of nominal type Am26L531 and differential receiver of nominal type Am26L532, as jointly form a transceiver, which are upon a two-wire differential signal communication path allows communication to transpire at a common-mode offset voltage, nominally .+-.8 volts, which is greater than the differential signal voltage that the receiver does elsewise communicate at, and which common-mode offset voltage is at a level which might but for the biasing network damage or destroy the driver.
