<p>The invention relates to a superimposed-type ignition device (ÜZG) for igniting a high-pressure discharge lamp (LA) which is operated with an alternating current and which comprises a control circuit (TS) for operating the superimposed-type ignition device (ÜZG) when the lamp is in the start mode. The superimposed-type ignition device (ÜZG) also comprises a pulse transformer (Tr) which transforms ignition pulses from a primary-sided ignition circuit (ZK) into a secondary-sided charge circuit (LK) which is connected to the electrodes (E<SUB>1</SUB>, E<SUB>2</SUB>) of the lamp (LA). The ignition circuit (ZK) comprises a circuit-breaker (Si) which is coupled to a resonance circuit (PRK) and which when switched to a low-impedance state, enables the voltage peaks generated by the resonance circuit (PRK) to be transformed in the charge circuit (LK) by the pulse transformer (Tr). In order to deactivate the superimposed-type ignition device (ÜZG), the control circuit (TS) switches an ohmic resistance (R</p> |
