A hybrid electronic ballast circuit includes a ballast control, half-bridge driver, and a power switch half-bridge in a single package. The ballast circuit includes a number of fault protections and safety features and is self-oscillating to drive a resonant circuit including a fluorescent lamp. Internal feedback and control signals are provided for a number of modes of operation, including startup, preheat, normal run mode and fault protection response mode. A voltage controlled oscillator adjusts the switching frequency of the switching half-bridge to maintain zero volt switching and minimum current switching. The entire ballast control may have only three external connections, and may be implemented in a TO220 package.
