摘要 |
An electronic ballast (200) includes a rectifier circuit (20), a clamp inductor (44), an electronic switch (62), a control circuit (60) for driving the electronic switch (62), an energy storage capacitor (34), a first diode (38), a second diode (50), a clamping capacitor (58), and an output circuit (80). In a preferred embodiment, the rectifier circuit (20) includes a full-wave diode bridge (22) and a high frequency filter capacitor (24), and the output circuit (80) has a resonant inductor (82), a resonant capacitor (92), and a DC blocking capacitor (98). The ballast (200) provides power factor correction, low in-rush current, and high frequency power for fluorescent lamps, but requires only a single electronic switch (62) and a single clamp inductor (44).
