<p>A discharge lamp energizing circuit (10A) has a pulse generating circuit (12) and a control circuit (14). The pulse generating circuit (12) has a DC power supply unit (20), and a transformer (26), a first semiconductor switch (28), and a second semiconductor switch (30) which are connected in series across the DC power supply unit (20). The control circuit (14) has a switching control circuit (50) and a frequency setting circuit (52). The frequency setting circuit (52) has a voltage-to-frequency converting circuit (54) for converting an input voltage (Vi) into a frequency signal (Sf), a frequency information table (58) recorded in a memory (56), for example, and storing data representative of changes in the input voltage (Vi) per unit time, a data reading circuit (60) for successively reading the stored data from the frequency information table (58), and a voltage control circuit (62) for modulating the input voltage (Vi) based on the read data.
