This paper is to present a selected method of circuit parameters in the inverter part of the electronic dimming ballast for fluorescent lamps, that is adequate to use with the prevailing dimming controller IC. Through the experiment result using the prototype of the electronic dimming ballast produced by this method, its validity is verified from the electrical and light output characteristics on fluorescent lamps. Also, it is feasible to remote automatic and passive control fur dimming electronic ballast as using a microprocessor, and we easily recognize the lamp condition owing to make a program indicate abnormal behavior for fluorescent lamp at PC screen.

Analysis, design and practical implementation of a single-stage electronic ballast for compact fluorecent lamps are presented in this paper. The proposed topology is based on a single-stage ballast which combines a boost converter and a half-bridge series resonant inverter. High power factor is achieved by using the boost semi-stage operating in discontinuous conduction mode, and inverter semi-stage operated above resonant frequency to provide zero voltage switching is employed to ballast the fluorescent lamp. Analytical and experimental results from the ballast system with 36W fluorescent lamps have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed single-stage electronic ballast.

In this paper, it has been proposed the simultaneous controller of electronic ballast and PFC(power factor corrector) for fluorescent lamp by one chip micro-controller. Boost DC-DC converter is adopted for PFC, and half bridge inverter for electronic ballast. It controls, simultaneously and independently, the boost DC-DC converter and the half bridge inverter. As electronic ballast and PFC are controlled by one chip micro-controller, it is possible to achieve the cheaper controller for fluorescent lamp. Experimental result has shown the feasibility of the proposed simultaneous controller of PFC and electronic ballast.

Contour vibration mode piezoelectric transformers were designed and fabricated to the square plate with size of 27.5x27.5x2.6㎟ using PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics. Electrical characteristics of the piezoelectric transformer were investigated for fluorescent lap ballast application. The electrical properties and characteristic temperature rise were measured by oscilloscope and infrared temperature sensor. A 28W fluorescent lamp was successfully driven by the fabricated transformers. The electronic ballast using piezoelectric transformer showed an excellent output power of 28.85[W], efficiency of 86.3% and characteristic temperature rise of 15[$\^{C}$].

Contour vibration mode piezoelectric transformers were designed and fabricated to the square plate with size of $27.5{\times}27.5{\times}2.5(2.6,\;3.0)mm^3$ using PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics. Electrical characteristics of the piezoelectric transformer were investigated for fluorescent lamp ballast application. The electrical properties and characteristic temperature rise were measured using oscilloscope and infrared temperature sensor. A 28W fluorescent lamp was successfully driven by the fabricated transformers.

Rosen type piezoelectric transformer for LCD backlight operated at high voltage and low current, may not be sucessfully used for illuminating general fluorescent lamps because low voltage and high current are required. In this study, the piezoelectric transformer with width vibration mode operated at low voyage and high current was designed for the application of fluorescent lasso ballast. The step-up ratio and efficiency as a function of the load resistance in the piezoelectric transformer indicated that the transformer can be effectively used for the electronic ballast for low profile fluorescent lamp.

The electronic fluorescent lamp ballast can promote the lighting efficiency up to 10-20% by driving high frequency with frequency transformation technique, and can completely eliminate the flickering phenomenon occurring from 60Hz frequency. The electronic ballast provides very high energy saving effects for it has high power fact than traditional ballast, and it is convenient to use. can extend the life of fluorescent lamp for it starts at once by driving with high frequency. However electronic ballast needs high price, and it can reduce the stability and reliability. This paper provides illumination systems which drive dozens of fluorescent lamps at the same time, to overcome these shortcomings of electronic ballast and utilize the advantage of electronic ballast.
