ABSTRACT:
A ballast for an electrodeless high intensity discharge lamp comprises a Class-D power amplifier including an integrated tuning capacitor network and heat sink. A series blocking/tuning capacitor and a parallel tuning capacitor are integrated by sharing a common capacitor plate. The metal plates of the parallel tuning capacitor also comprise heat sink planes to remove excess heat from the excitation coil of the lamp. Heat sink fins are affixed to the plates of the parallel capacitor. Efficiency is maximized by matching the impedance of the ballast load network.
