Japanese Patent JP3069645

B2

The invention relates to a controller for a fluorescent lamp load, comprising DC-AC converter means (24) having an input and an output, DC supply means coupled to said input, output circuit means coupled to said output and arranged for coupling to said fluorescent lamp load (12), and control means (36) for controlling operation of said DC-AC converter and said DC supply means, said output circuit means including inductance means and resonant capacitor means forming a circuit (20) which is resonant at no-load and load-condition resonant frequencies with loads equivalent to those respectively obtained prior to and after lamp ignition. The control means (36) are arranged to operate in a lamp ignition phase to operate said converter at a frequency above the no-load resonant frequency of the output circuit means and to operate in an operating phase after lamp ignition to operate said converter in a frequency range above the load-condition resonant frequency of the output circuit means. The DC supply means comprise an up-converter (28) and the control means (36) include pulse width modulator means for applying high frequency gating pulses to said up-converter, which have a width so controlled as to maintain the DC output voltage of the DC supply means at a substantially constant level while also obtaining an input current wave form which is proportional to and in phase with the input voltage wave form. The control means include means for synchronizing the generation of said high frequency pulse width modulated gating pulses with a variable frequency signal applied to said DC-AC converter means.
