Abstract

The invention relates to a dimming circuit. The dimming circuit comprises an alternating current-direct current conversion circuit and a direct current-alternating current conversion circuit, wherein alternating current-direct current conversion circuit is used for converting alternating-current voltage into direct-current voltage, and the direct current-alternating current conversion circuit is used for converting the direct-current voltage into the working voltage of a lamp. The direct current-alternating current conversion circuit comprises a drive circuit used for providing drive voltage between a reference contact and a control contact and a conversion circuit which is coupled to the drive circuit and comprises at least one switch. The dimming circuit has the advantages that at least one electric parameter between the reference contact and the control contact is adjusted to change the working frequency of the direct current-alternating current conversion circuit so as to adjust the brightness of the lamp; each electric parameter selected from one inductance parameter and one capacitance parameter; the dimming circuit provides simple circuit connection, and dimming is achieved by changing the electric parameters between the reference contact and the control contact.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dimming circuit and a dimming method, which can be used for gas discharge lamps or other lamps of the same type, in particular to a dimming circuit capable of three-way dimming and the application of the dimming circuit Dimming method of dimming circuit. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the needs of different lighting application conditions and the goal of energy saving and emission reduction, various dimming ballasts that can control the brightness change of gas discharge lamps have appeared. [0003] The gas discharge lamp changes the current flowing through the gas discharge lamp by changing the operating frequency of the ballast driving the gas discharge lamp, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the brightness of the gas discharge lamp. The core of the dimming ballast can be attributed to the frequency control of the ballast inverter. By controlling the oscillation frequency of the internal inverter ...
