ABSTRACT:
An inverter apparatus includes a serial resonance circuit provided at the primary side of a booster transformer, a controlling means for turning on and off the serial resonance circuit with a switching element operating at the timing of phase advanced from the resonance frequency of the serial resonance circuit, and a load device connected to the secondary side of the booster transformer. The inverter apparatus may further include a detecting means provided at the secondary side of the booster transformer for detecting a load so that the controlling means upon receiving a signal output of the detecting means indicative of the load advances the timing phase of the turning on and off actions of the switch element when the load is smaller. Also the load device may be a cold cathode tube. It may be arranged for stabilizing a voltage output of the booster transformer that the booster transformer is coupled to a feedback line for feeding back a voltage to the negative input of an operational amplifier in the controlling means before the cold cathode tube starts a discharge action or that the voltage at a primary coil of the booster transformer is fed back to the negative input of an operational amplifier in the controlling means before the cold cathode tube is actuated. The present invention allows a single power switching element to build a semi-class E type voltage resonance inverter thus increasing the operational efficiency and minimizing the number of its components.
