Auto-Tracking Control for High-Frequency Electronic Ballast of Metal Halide LampsHuang, Chun-Kai 19 June 2003 (has links)
A high-frequency electronic ballast with auto-tracking control was proposed to operate the metal halide lamps at a specific frequency free from acoustic resonance. In case the acoustic resonance should happen, the operating frequency is changed step by step with the auto-tracking control, until the lamp is operated at a frequency with stable operation.
The electrical characteristics of the lamps are first investigated. Based on the investigated results, a detection circuit is designed to identify the occurrence of acoustic resonance. With the auto-tracking control, the Class-D half-bridge series-resonant inverter can be adopted for the high-frequency electronic ballast to achieve high efficiency and high power density. The control strategy of auto-tracking is practically realized by a single-chip microprocessor. The proposed approach is implemented on a 70 W test lamp with an operating frequency range from 20 kHz to 30 kHz. To regulate the lamp power at its rated value, a buck-boost converter is used as a pre-regulator, which serves also as a power-factor-corrector to achieve a high power factor at the input line.
