Electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting deliver high efficiency and long lamp lifetimes. A new and simplified control circuit demonstrates complete control of the ballast, including all necessary ...

Resonant-mode topologies offer many benefits over traditional buck, boost, and flyback solutions. These include soft-switching, higher operating frequencies, higher power density, and higher ...

Today's design engineers are faced with new challenges when it comes to designing fluorescent or HID electronic ballast applications. In addition to the usual cost, reliability and longevity pressures ...

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are replacing incandescent light bulbs at a rapid rate due to their tremendous energy savings and longer lifetime. Additional energy savings can be achieved by dimming ...

New integrated circuits promise to make fluorescent lamps more "green." Get ready for new rules from the Dept. of Energy. Next year, DOE will implement regulations effectively making it impossible to ...
