ABSTRACT:
The need of implementing a second local oscillator in addition to the drive oscillator, for timing the different phases of the starting process of a half-bridge or bridge stage driving an external load, such as a fluorescent lamp, is avoided by employing a timing counter to count the number of oscillations produced by the drive oscillator, and a digital-to-analog converter for controlling the frequency of oscillation of the drive oscillator.
