Abstract
This paper presents a design techniques for an electronic ballast of HID lamps. An electronic ballast for HID lamps usually employs a high frequency resonant inverter and voltage-to-frequency converter to control the output and a half-bridge and series resonant circuit are chosen for the ballast. In this paper, the new lighting method for the stable ignition regardless of lamp types is designed. And this type of ballast has some useful functions such as surge protection, thermal protection, and dimmable function. Moreover the powerline communication skill is also used to transmit a dimming control signal.
