Abstract-A new self-adjusting current-fed push-pull parallel inverter (SA-CFPPRI) is presented and tested by simulation and experimentally. The power source includes a soft switching control circuitry and a controllable inductor. The SA-CFPPRI can drive a capacitive load at any frequency within the design range. It will maintain zero voltage switching of the main transistors and follow the input frequency signal even when the resonant elements and/or the load vary. Possible range of applications for the proposed power source is: piezoelectric transformers and motors, ac bus for a distributed power system and other loads that need to be fed by a sinusoidal waveform. The experimental results of the laboratory unit (160 Vrms at 93 kHz and nominal output power of 5 W) verify the analytical analysis and proposed design procedure.Index Terms-Phase comparator, push-pull parallel resonant inverter (PPPRI), sinusoidal power source, variable inductor.

“…HID lamps, if driven at frequencies higher than 10 kHz, suffer from "acoustic resonance," a phenomenon which results in arc extinguishing, flickering, and unstable operation [4]. Several papers [7]- [16] discuss methods to detect and overcome acoustic resonance in HID metal halide lamps other than those used in automobiles. The ballast working in the megahertz range is proposed in [17], resulting in smaller size ballasts.…”

Abstract-High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps are becoming popular substitutes for halogen lamps in automotive headlamps because of the high lumen/watt ratio and the color of the light. In this paper, a ballast (integrated with a voltage multiplier circuit in the secondary winding of the dc converter transformer) with dimming control is presented. The proposed circuit not only eliminates one auxiliary winding but also reduces the voltage across the switch on the primary side and consequently permits the selection of switches with a lower rating. A brief review of the HID circuits is done and compared with the proposed circuit. Experimental results from the prototype are presented. This paper also presents different methods of dimming the automotive HID lamps based on analog and digital control and discusses the relative merits of each of the methods. The dimming control is implemented using both the methods, and experimental results are presented. It is envisaged that the dimming control will provide some flexibility to drivers in the control of HID lamps to suit the driving conditions in the modern cities that are very well lit at night. This paper investigates the merits of each method and discusses the practical issues for implementing such controls.Index Terms-Constant power, dimming control, highintensity discharge (HID) ballast.

A resonant driver for a Piezoelectric Motor (PZM) is presented, analyzed and tested experimentally. Following a short description of the linear PZM applied in this study, the paper covers the analytical relationships of the buck driven push-pull parallel resonant inverter stage that includes a novel single transistor direction switches. It is shown that the proposed topology is compatible with the drive requirements of the PZM powered from a low voltage (24V). It is also demonstrated that, unlike simple resonant converters, the proposed topology is relatively insensitive to the resonant component values and that it can tolerate added capacitance as introduced when connecting a PZM to the driver via a long cable.
