Electronic lighting ballast with multiple outputs to drive electric discharge lamps of different wattage

摘要

A number of elements are integrated within an electronics enclosure. A non-inverting buck-boost converter is to operate in the continuous conduction mode designed to provide an average power of more than 200 watts at its DC output. A power bus is coupled to the DC output. Multiple inverter circuits are coupled to the power bus in parallel, each inverter circuit having a respective output to drive a respective electric discharge lamp. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
