摘要： An electrodeless neon discharge light source having a red color light output is provided for use in automotive applications. The light source has a lamp envelope containing a fill of neon gas which, when excited to a discharge state by introduction of an operating signal over a tuned circuit consisting of a resonant capacitor and a ferrite coil, produces a red color light output. A flash control input to a ballast circuit arrangement provides the ability to control the light output using bursts of high frequency sinusoidal energy. The use of the burst signal approach allows for providing varying levels of light intensity output thereby signifying the distinction between braking conditions and an on condition of the tail light. Furthermore, by controlling the rate of flashing of the light source, an indication of a hard braking or emergency condition, could be conveyed.

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.

摘要： Miniature high pressure arc lamps containing a substantial pressure of xenon, in addition to metal halide and mercury, can provide instant light at turn-on and are suitable for automotive headlamps. The high pressure of xenon aggravates convection which causes arc bowing and overheating of the envelope above the arc. By operating the lamp at high frequency within selected bands, acoustic modes are excited in the fill which straighten the arc and make the envelope more isothermal. Frequency modulation of the input can be used to broaden the band selected for acoustic operation and relax the tolerance on arc tube and circuit parameters needed for a match. Acoustic operation may also be used to effect physical displacement of the arc for beam switching.

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： Miniature high pressure arc lamps containing a substantial pressure of xenon, in addition to metal halide and mercury, can provide instant light at turn-on and are suitable for automotive headlamps. The xenon aggravates convection which causes arc-bowing and overheating of the envelope above the arc. By operating the lamps on unidirectional current upon which a frequency-modulated high frequency ripple has been imposed, acoustic resonance is used to straighten out the arc. The use of unidirectional current permits a reduction in cost and size of the ballast control circuits operated from auto storage battery. Frequency modulation of the ripple broadens the band allowing acoustic straightening of the arc. Additional control of the arc plus reduction of cataphoresis may be achieved through a horizontal magnetic field at the arc, transverse to current flow.

摘要： A low voltage DC input ballast circuit for a discharge lamp particularly suitable for a central lighting system includes an input filter stage which feeds into a first boost converter circuit controlled by way of a pulse width modulator device. The first boost converter provides warm-up and steady state run signals to the lamp in a voltage fed manner over a coupling circuit using components which are reduced in size relative to conventional discharge ballast circuits. Control circuitry provides various monitoring functions, an example of which is that, in the event of a low input voltage, the lamp will operate in a dimmed or faded manner rather than maintain lumen output by drawing additional current. A second boost converter circuit is associated with a starter circuit arrangement and operates such that starting pulses can be generated and repeated if necessary in a very rapid manner.

摘要： A resonant fluorescent lamp ballast includes an IC driver for a half-bridge arrangement that supplies AC current to a lamp. The IC creates a frequency sweep from a pre-heat frequency, through a resonant frequency, to a still lower operating frequency. A pre-heat pin in the IC triggers a re-start or the frequency sweep when a first signal exceeds a first threshold level. A shut-down pin in the IC associated with an internal shut-down latch shuts down the driver when a second signal exceeds a second threshold level. Pre-heat trigger circuitry detects a current spike through half-bridge switches when the lamp has not yet started, supplying the pre-heat pin with a first signal exceeding the first threshold level. End-of-life circuitry provides to the shut-down pin a second signal exceeding the second threshold level if lamp current fails to reach a substantial portion of its normal level within a predetermined time. A DC current-supply path is provided from a DC current supply, through at least one filament of each lamp in the load circuit, to a power-supply pin for the IC. The end-of-life circuitry cooperates with the pre-heat trigger circuitry by limiting the number of the frequency sweeps to no more than occur during the predetermined time set by the end-of-life circuitry. The DC path cooperates with the end-of-life circuitry and the internal shut-down latch to reset the latch when the DC path is broken due to absence of the at least one filament in the path.

摘要： Disclosed is an electronic ballast circuit for a high pressure gas discharge lamp with a reduced parts-count starting circuit. The circuit comprises an arrangement for supplying d.c. voltage from a d.c. source, and a main inductor for receiving energy from the d.c. source and supplying the energy to the lamp. The main inductor has a plurality of windings. A first winding of the inductor is coupled to receive energy from the d.c. source. Further included is a current-switching arrangement conductive during periodic first part cycles for transferring energy from the d.c. source to the main inductor, and non-conductive during periodic second part cycles. A first part cycle is followed by a second part cycle in successive periods of switching operation of the current-switching arrangement. The first winding of the main inductor has impressed across it substantially the d.c. source voltage during the first part cycles, and reflects substantially the lamp voltage during the second part cycles. The circuit further includes a starting circuit for providing a pulse in excess of 15,000 volts across the lamp to facilitate starting the lamp. The starting circuit comprises a spark gap device, a pulse transformer, and a voltage-generating circuit. The voltage-generating circuit comprises a starting capacitor for storing energy and impressing across a spark gap an increasing voltage, which reaches the breakdown voltage of the spark gap during a lamp start-up period, and also a circuit for charging the starting capacitor with energy from the main inductor during the second part cycles.

摘要： A reliable strobe power supply is disclosed that provides requisite light energy for emergency uses without causing EMI problems. A two phase dual flyback power converter operating in transitional mode is disclosed containing a microcontroller that maintains a 180 degree displacement between the two phases by enabling a small, variable dead time between the cessation of stored energy in the flyback transformers and turn-on of the associated power switching transistor for one or the other phases. The power supply is capable of detecting a fault (neoning) and automatically correcting the condition by incrementing the flash capacitor charge off-time delay. The power supply is also capable of tolerating defective (persistently neoning) strobe tubes that cause an inordinate delay in capacitor charging by turning them off.
