    摘要: A piezoelectric transformer signal coupler utilizes a drive circuit including an oscillator constructed to excite the primary of a piezoelectric transformer at its characteristic anti-resonant frequency. Positive feedback signals modulated by the time domain response characteristic of the particular piezoelectric transformer force the oscillator to lock onto its characteristic anti-resonant frequency despite variations thereof due to temperature drift and secondary loading. The resulting drive circuit is implementable as a miniature, low mass integrated circuit mountable on the transformer's piezoceramic wafer to create a signal coupler of a single integrated structure.

    摘要: A lamp driver circuit is presented herein for driving a lamp circuit with an AC squarewave voltage at a relatively high frequency. The driver circuit includes a self-oscillating half-bridge circuit having a pair of input terminals connected across a DC voltage supply, which may be obtained from rectifying an AC voltage signal, and a pair of output terminals connected across a lamp circuit including a lamp, either a resistive lamp or a gaseous discharge lamp, to be energized. The circuit also includes a pair of capacitors connected together in series across the input terminals and having a junction therebetween connected to a first one of the output terminals. The bridge circuit also includes first and second switching transistors connected together in series across the input terminals. A transformer is provided having first and second windings thereon respectively connected to the first and second switching transistors for alternately applying forward biasing base drive current to the first and second transistors. A third winding on the transformer is connected in series from the junction of the two transistors to a second one of the output terminals for purposes of supplying a squarewave voltage across the output terminals for driving the lamp circuit. A starter circuit serves to start the half-bridge circuit by initially turning on one of the switching transistors in such a manner that while one transistor is being forward biased into conduction, the other transistor is reverse biased.

    摘要: Ballast circuits for a gas discharge tube are disclosed. One embodiment of a single-phase non-inductive ballast for operation of a gas discharge tube by direct current (D.C.) using a resistive current-limiting means and a relatively small capacitor is disclosed. The D.C. ballast circuit generates a timed pulse addition (TPA). The D.C. ballast circuit includes an arrangement of switching means which controls the discharge of a capacitive energy storage means so as to supply the reignition and the restrike energy in the form of timed pulse additions (TPA) that may be needed for the gas discharge tube. Other embodiments are disclosed for the ballast circuit which operate directly from the A.C. line and control the discharge of a capacitive storage means to supply reignition and restrike energy in the form of timed pulse additions (TPA) that may be needed for the gas discharge tube.

    摘要: A ballast circuit and method of operating gas discharge lamps are disclosed. The ballast circuit generates a relatively low frequency regulated square-wave current which advantageously provides for operating the gas discharge lamps during their run mode. The square-wave current delivered to the electrodes of the gas discharge lamp reduces or substantially eliminates the cataphoresis effects typically created by D.C. and 60 Hz operation of the gas discharge lamp while also reducing or substantially eliminating the detrimental acoustics resonance effects typically created by operating the gas discharge lamps at relatively high frequency of excitations.
