A ballast control circuit for use with a fluorescent lamp in accordance with an embodiment of the present application includes a voltage controlled oscillator operable to provide an operating signal for the ballast control circuit, wherein a frequency of the operating signal depends on an input voltage provided to the voltage controller oscillator, and a driver circuit operable to provide a first driver signal via a first driver terminal and a second driver signal via a second driver terminal to a first switch and a second switch of a half bridge, respectively, wherein the first switch and the second switch are connected in series across a power source, such that a desired output voltage for powering the fluorescent lamp is provided at a node between the first switch and the second switch. The first control signal and the second control signal control the first switch and the second switch to provide a desired duty cycle and dead time based on the frequency of the operating signal. The input voltage of the voltage controlled oscillator is provided at a power supply terminal of the ballast control circuit and is maintained within a desired range such that the frequency of the operating signal is maintained in a second desired range.
