Abstract

This paper presents a new design methodology, analysis, and practical considerations about series parallel resonant filter, LCC, for electronic ballasts employing the self-oscillating driver circuit. Designs equations and graphic methods are presented, obtained by analysis of Fourier series, Tsypkin´s Locus and stability tests. The lamp high frequency supply is given by the half-bridge converter, and the verification of this approach is guaranteed by simulation and experimental results
