ABSTRACT:
A direct drive electronic ballast circuit suitable for a fluorescent lamp load includes a high frequency oscillator inverter circuit having a tuned output circuit coupled to a load and to a drive circuit series connected to the load and dependent upon current flow therein. The high frequency oscillator inverter circuit is also coupled to a pulsed DC potential source which is shunted by a charge storage and isolating circuit energized by a feedback rectifier circuit which supplies energy whenever the potential from the pulsed DC potential source decreases below a given reference level. A relaxation type oscillator is coupled to the high frequency oscillator inverter circuit and provides a starting capability therefore.
