摘要： An electronic ballast for a discharge lamp is capable of dimming the lamp over a wide range, yet minimizing a color temperature deviation. The ballast includes a power converter which converts an input DC voltage into a lamp power for driving the lamp, and a dimmer providing a dimmer command of a varying dimming ratio in order to reduce the lamp power to a greater extent as the dimming ratio decreases. A controller controls the power converter to supply a high frequency AC current to the lamp in response to the dimming ratio decreasing to a predetermined level, and to reduce an RMS value of the high frequency AC current as the dimming ratio decreases past the predetermined level.

摘要： A lighting power source provides AC or DC power as needed to power an electric light source. A first switching element and a diode are coupled in series across output ends of a DC power source, with a second switching element coupled across the diode. An inductor forms an output loop with the diode. A driving capacitor has a first end coupled to a node between the first switching element and the diode. A charging power source is coupled to a second end of the driving capacitor and supplied with power from the DC power source. During a charging operation, a control circuit charges the driving capacitor by turning on the second switching element while maintaining the first switching element in an OFF state. During a normal operation which follows the charging operation the control circuit repeatedly turns on/off the first switching element while maintaining the second switching element in the OFF state.
