Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power control circuit and an electronic ballast with the power control circuit, in particular to a power control circuit suitable for high-illuminance gas discharge lamps and an electronic ballast with the power control circuit. Background technique [0002] The equivalent impedance of high intensity discharge (HID) lamps will increase with time, so in order to maintain the stable lumen output of the lamp tube, the lamp tube needs to receive a stable power, so a power control is required A circuit is used to control the power supplied to the lamp. [0003] US Patent Publication No. 2006 / 0261746 A1, titled "Power control circuit for controlling rated power supplied to a load", proposes a power control circuit, and the power control circuit is suitable for use in an electronic ballast of a high-intensity gas discharge lamp . [0004] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a circuit diagram of a conventional electronic ballast. Th...

[0016] However, in the prior existing power control circuit 3, the current detection unit 34 detects once per cycle, and what the voltage detection unit 33 detects is the average value of the output voltage Vo, and the two detection units After the measurement results are added together, the response of the current detection will be slowed down, and the purpose of adjusting the power in real time cannot be achieved.

In addition, when the load R is open or short-circuited, the signal detected by the current detection unit 34 or the voltage detection unit 33 is zero, so the power switch unit 32 will be turned on, causing the output voltage Vo to be equal to the input voltage Vi, The output transient response is very poor, so that the voltage stress at the rear stage of the power control circuit 3 (such as: full bridge commutation circuit 4) is equal to the previous stage, so the circuit of the latter stage needs to use high voltage resistant components, such as: full bridge commutation The transistors used as switches in circuit 4 (transistors are transistors, referred to herein as transistors) to avoid damage, and the use of high-voltage components will increase the cost of the circuit

[0017] It can be seen that the above-mentioned existing power control circuit and electronic ballast obviously still have inconvenience and defects in structure and use, and need to be further improved urgently.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the relevant manufacturers have tried their best to find a solution, but no suitable design has been developed for a long time, and the general products do not have a suitable structure to solve the above-mentioned problems. This is obviously related. The problem that the industry is eager to solve
