ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for starting and supplying a fluorescent tube, including a resonant system connected to the tube and to a rectified supply circuit with a switch in series. A first detector controls the switch to turn off when the current provided by the supply exceeds a determined threshold; and a second detector controls the switch to turn on for each transition through zero of the voltage on a node of the resonant system and for each transition through a minimum of this voltage.
