In this paper, a novel single-stage electronic ballast with a high power factor is presented.
The ballast circuit is based on the integration of a buck converter to provide the power factor …

As the output current levels of power converters increase, interleaved topologies become
widely used. A well-known topology is the interleaved buck converter (IBC), which presents …

This paper presents a novel two-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast for metal–halide
(MH) lamps. The front stage is a single-switch two-output integrated converter, which is a …

In the last decades, the high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamp has been supplied in high
frequency in order to increase the efficacy of the lamp/ballast system. However, at some …

The analysis, design, and implementation of a microcontroller-based electronic ballast to
supply metal halide (MH) lamps are presented. The proposed topology is based on the …

This paper presents a novel single-stage electronic ballast with high power factor. The
ballast circuit is based on the integration of a buck converter to provide the power factor …

In this paper a new configuration of the two-flyback-based high-power-factor electronic
ballast is proposed. The ballast is aimed to supply high intensity discharge (HID) lamps with …

In this paper, a detailed study and experimentation on acoustic-resonances (AR) in low-
wattage metal–halide lamps is presented. In order to excite the AR without extinguishing the …

In this paper, a novel high power-factor electronic ballast for metal-halide (MH) lamps based
on integration of a buck-boost converter, a buck converter, and a full-bridge inverter is …

This paper presents a novel electronic ballast for dual high-intensity-discharge (HID) lamps.
The electronic ballast is composed of a boost preregulator to achieve high power factor and …
