发明名称 Protecting a cold cathode fluorescent lamp from a large transient current when voltage supply transitions from a low to a high voltage
摘要 A compensation circuit for protecting a lamp from a large transient current. The compensation circuit may include a saw tooth generator configured to generate a saw tooth signal with an amplitude corresponding to a supply voltage of the lamp. A pulse width modulated signal may be generated by a comparator of the compensation circuit based on the saw tooth signal and a DC signal. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal may be used by a controller to control the duration of time that current flows through the lamp. When the supply voltage of the lamp transitions from a low voltage to a high voltage, the amplitude of the saw tooth signal increases. When the amplitude of the saw tooth signal increases, the duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal decreases thereby causing the controller to decrease the duration of time that current flows through the lamp.
