摘要:
A method and apparatus for operating at least one gas discharge lamp includes supplying a gas discharge lamp with high-frequency alternating voltage from an externally controlled lamp generator having an operating frequency being variable for dimming the gas discharge lamp. The state of the gas discharge lamp is monitored. A preheating phase with an ensuing starting phase are provided for firing the gas discharge lamp. The operating frequency of the lamp generator during the preheating phase is adjusted to be greater than a rated frequency in rated operation. The operating frequency at the beginning of the starting phase is reduced until the gas discharge lamp has attained a predetermined state and the operating frequency is subsequently maintained at least at an instantaneous value thereof until the gas discharge lamp fires. The operating frequency at the end of the starting phase is reduced to the rated frequency, thereby initiating rated operation. The operating frequency is varied for dimming in an ensuing dimming operation.

The document describes a method and an actuating circuit for actuating a switch regulating the power consumption in a power factor correction circuit which has input terminals for applying an input voltage and output terminals for providing an output voltage. In this case, the switch is cyclically turned on for an on-time and turned off for an off-time, respectively, with the on-time having a first on-time period and a second on-time period which is directly adjacent to the first on-time period. A length for the first on-time period is in this case dependent on the control signal, and a length for the second on-time period is proportional, at least for a prescribed range of values for an instantaneous value of the input voltage, to a quotient with a first first-degree function for this instantaneous value in the denominator and a second first-degree function for the instantaneous value in the numerator, with function values for the first function increasing as the instantaneous value rises.

摘要:
A semiconductor component contains two semiconductor bodies, which are spatially separated from one another and electrically interconnected. A compensation MOS field effect transistor is provided as the first semiconductor body, and a silicon carbide Schottky diode is provided as the second semiconductor body. Consequently, the semiconductor component can advantageously be produced significantly more compactly and more cost-effectively, since both the compensation MOS field-effect transistor and the silicon carbide Schottky diode contribute to a significant reduction of power loss.
