ABSTRACT:
A switched AC ballast is operated synchronously with the AC line during normal running of a gas discharge lamp to limit EMI and is locked in a single phase during start-up (i.e. ignition, glow mode and warm-up) to protect the bridge switches from high voltage starting signals. Devices having a high impedance control input, such as FETs, are employed in the switching bridge thus allowing control of the upper devices in the bridge without a floating power supply. A control circuit insures proper operation of the bridge switches during all operating modes of the discharge lamp.
