Adapter for fluorescent lamp with cold start has control circuit for inverter with integrated circuit with control input to timing capacitor that receives charging current and whose voltage controls lamp preheating, ignition and burn modes

摘要

The adapter (1) has an inverter (11) for supplying the lamp(s) (2) with an alternating voltage, a control circuit for the inverter with an integrated circuit (15) with a control input (16) connected to a timing capacitor that receives a charging current from the control input and whose voltage controls a lamp preheating mode, a lamp ignition mode and a lamp burn mode.
