“…This technique eliminates all the current spikes of the circuit and hence it is suitable for many power conversion applications, and also has low switching loss and retains the basic features of switched-capacitor converter. Similar method has been found in recent publication including using an additional DC converter to add up the line voltage [12]. This technique merged with the classical switched-mode inverter technique can form the proposed novel switching method for use in electronic ballast.…”

SUMMARYAn electronic ballast circuit for a high-frequency operated fluorescent lamp, which uses switched-capacitor techniques, is presented in this paper. A part of energy in the electronic ballast is derived to a secondary DC output as a power supply. All the switching devices are zero-current switching in the proposed circuit. The circuit is integrated with the function of a DC/DC converter. Therefore, the circuit has a dual functionality with simple control method. Simulation results and experimental results of the ballast with an FL-15D lamp are used to verify the performance of the proposed circuit.

“…Various control methods and power electronics circuit topologies are used in PFC applications [17,19,22]; however, the continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converter is commonly chosen. Therefore, the use of an inductor at the input of the boost converter brings advantages for the PFC, as it provides a continuous (nonpulsating) input current.…”

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) and Light-emitting Diode (LED) lamps have received wide acceptance in lighting applications during the last few years. However, without a power factor correction (PFC), the lamps reach a lagging power factor below 0.64 while the total harmonic distortion (THD) in the input current can be over 136%. Therefore, this paper presents an efficient, small size, low cost, and analog technology based on PFC for CFLs and tubular LED lamps. The topology to couple the line with the ballast of the lamp consists of a boost electronic converter under a hysteretic controller that is designed based on hysteretic current mode control. Besides, an experimental prototype is implemented with the PFC applied to a 15 W CFL and 12 W tubular LED lamp. The results show that the prototype corrects the lagging power factor to a value close to 0.98 and that harmonic levels are obtained below the limits set by the IEC 61000-3-2 Class C standard. Furthermore, the test showed that lamps with the PFC can be switched on and off more times than lamps without the PFC due to the low THD produced in the CFL, thus avoiding abrupt changes in the line current. These results are promising, as the controller does not require a compensation ramp as in other PWM control strategies, and it can be adapted to any type of lamp that draws a pulsating input current. In addition, the proposed controller could be applied to correct the power factor or regulate voltage for other applications, as it is an autonomous control technique with compact implementation.
