“…This procedure has also helped to reduce the number of ballast product families and increase manufacturablility. Improvements are being done on the model to include non-linear lamp characteristics [3] and dimming for upcoming ballast ICs: IR2158 (closed-loop, non-dimming) and IR2159 (dimming) [4].…”

Abstract--High-intensity discharge (HID) lighting lamp systems are widely used in applications that can provide a high light levels are desired for large areas, such as vehicle headlight, industrial and street lighting. Similar to fluorescent lighting systems, all HID lighting systems require a ballast to operate. Traditionally, magnetic ballast designs were the only choice available for HID lighting systems. Today, highefficiency electronic HID ballasts are available that provide improved lighting quality and reduce lighting electricity use by 10 to 30 percent.The purpose of this paper is to identify requirements of the ballast interface from the perspective of the HID lamp. This study will generally brief the starting, run-up, and steady state operation of HID lamps on electronics ballasts.

“…The variable switching frequency control is popularly used in practical implementation because of its simplicity [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. When the switching frequency is located further away from the resonance of the tank, less energy is coupled to the lamps, and the lamps dim.…”
