Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronic ballast with a step-up converter for operating a discharge lamp, for example a low-pressure discharge lamp.
- Electronic ballasts for the operation of discharge lamps are known in many designs. l.d.R. They include a rectifier circuit for rectifying an AC power supply and charging a capacitor often referred to as a DC link capacitor. The DC voltage applied to this capacitor serves to supply an inverter or inverter (hereinafter inverter), which operates the discharge lamp.
- inverter inverter
- an inverter generates from a rectified AC voltage supply or a DC voltage supply a supply voltage for the discharge lamp to be operated with high-frequency current.
- Similar devices are also known for other lamp types, for example in the form of electronic transformers for halogen lamps.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of providing an improved electronic ballast with a step-up converter.
- the invention relates to an electronic ballast for a lamp with a step-up converter, which has a storage inductor, a diode, a DC circuit capacitor and a switching element, characterized in that it is designed to
- the invention is based on the recognition that the value of the current through the storage inductor can be used as an indicator for the switch-on and switch-off of the switching element for the operation.
- the switching element When switched on, the switching element ensures an increasing current flow in the storage choke up to an adjustable maximum value.
- the storage choke is magnetized.
- the electronic ballast according to the invention is designed so that the current through the storage inductor, when the switching element is switched on, for example by means of a measuring (shunt) resistor detected, and when reaching this maximum value, the switching element is turned off. After switching off the switching element, the diode conducts the current impressed in the storage inductor into the intermediate circuit capacitor. This current decreases with time.
- the storage choke If the storage choke is completely demagnetized, then no current flows through them, and the diode connected in series blocks.
- the potential between the storage inductor and the diode jumps from the supply potential of the intermediate circuit capacitor to a potential with a significantly smaller amount, which corresponds to the instantaneous potential of the rectified AC voltage supply. This potential jump can serve as an indicator for a switch-on time of the switching element.
- the invention is designed so that the switching element is now turned on. Current flows again through the switching element and the storage choke. The storage choke is magnetized again.
- ballast according to the invention is particularly simple in terms of control and circuitry, and it is also particularly robust with respect to tolerances of the storage inductor inductance.
- the jump of the potential between the storage inductor and the diode is detected after the demagnetization of the storage inductor with at least one decoupling capacitor.
- This potential jump can serve as an indicator for the switch-on time of the switching element.
- a resistor may be connected in series with this decoupling capacitor. The time constant of this resistor and the decoupling capacitor is so large that it does not come to a complete charge or discharge of the decoupling capacitor during demagnetization of the storage choke.
- the demagnetization is detected with a secondary coil to the storage choke.
- the measuring resistor preferably used for the current measurement for determining the switch-off time of the switching element may be in series with the switching element, advantageously in the connection between the switching element and the reference potential.
- An embodiment of the invention preferably has a first signal line which connects the control input of the switching element to a control circuit of the boost converter.
- the signal line can be connected directly to the control input of the switching element, or indirectly via a circuit which switches the switching element, or one or more resistors.
- the boost converter can be blocked by means of this signal line from the control circuit.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention has a resistance between the supply potential of the intermediate circuit capacitor and the control input of the switching element. If a sufficient voltage is applied to the DC link capacitor, then the switching element can be switched on via this resistor. This means that the oscillation can oscillate independently and no special control signals are necessary.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention has a threshold value for controlling the switching element.
- the control input of this threshold element is preferably connected via the decoupling capacitor and at least one resistor to the potential between the storage choke and the diode. Over this path can jump the potential between the storage choke and the diode following the demagnetization of the storage choke serve as an input signal for the threshold element.
- the control input of the threshold value element is connected to the potential between the switching element and the measuring resistor via at least one resistor. Via this path, the threshold element can be controlled in dependence on the current through the switching element.
- the control input of the threshold value element is at a defined potential during the time in which the switching element is switched on, it can be connected to the reference potential via a series connection of a resistor and a diode.
- the node between this resistor and the diode is connected to the series circuit of the decoupling capacitor and at least one resistor.
- one cycle of the boost setter proceeds as follows: In a first time interval, the switching element is switched on. The current through the switching element is measured via the measuring resistor connected in series with the switching element. This corresponds in this first period also the current through the storage choke. The tapped on the measuring resistor potential is fed to a control input of the threshold value element, possibly via one or more resistors, as an input signal. If the value of the current exceeds a predetermined maximum, then the threshold value element is switched. The required connection to the reference potential can be established via the series connection of a diode and a resistor presented in the preceding paragraph. The maximum current depends on the selected dimensioning of the components of the circuit and can be specified in this way.
- these components may be: the measuring resistor, a resistor via which the voltage across the measuring resistor is tapped off and fed to the control input of the threshold element, and the resistor stood, which establishes the connection to the reference potential in series with the diode.
- the output of the threshold element is connected to the control input of the switching element and switches it off.
- the potential between the storage choke and the diode jumps with the switching off of the switching element to approximately the supply potential of the DC link capacitor. This marks the end of the first period.
- the threshold element In a subsequent second period of time, the threshold element remains in its state through the decoupling capacitor, because the potential between the storage choke and the diode only jumps back when the storage choke is demagnetized and the threshold element is held in its state via the decoupling capacitor.
- the switching element remains switched off. This condition continues as long as the storage choke demagnetizes. If the switching element were not permanently switched off from the threshold value element, the switching element could be prematurely switched on again via the voltage at the intermediate circuit capacitor as soon as the storage inductor is demagnetized.
- the potential between the storage inductor and the diode jumps from the supply potential of the intermediate circuit capacitor to a potential with a significantly smaller amount, which corresponds to the instantaneous potential of the rectified AC voltage supply.
- the threshold element is switched via the decoupling capacitor. The switching element is switched on and a new cycle begins.
- the clock of the boost regulator is determined by the duration of the demagnetization of the storage choke. There are no further timers needed.
- the driving potential of the threshold element in a time that is significantly longer than the period of the on / off cycles of the boost converter in operation, not the switching threshold happen.
- the threshold value element can not be switched without further ado until the DC link capacitor is charged to the highest magnitude instantaneous value of the supply voltage. During this time, the boost converter is blocked.
- an embodiment of the invention preferably has a threshold value element via a second signal line, which is connected to the control input of the threshold value element and to the control circuit.
- this second signal line can be connected to the control input of the threshold value element via the resistor from the series connection of the diode and the resistor, which connects the control input of the threshold value element to the reference potential.
- the threshold value element can be switched by the control circuit via the second signal line.
- transistors as a simple embodiment of a threshold element may have the disadvantage that the maximum current through the storage inductor depends on the possibly not negligible tolerance of the switching threshold of the transistor.
- the transistor can also have a driver function for the switching element.
- a comparator is used as the threshold element and this preferably followed by a driver circuit.
- a driver circuit usually consists of several components and may inter alia also have one or more transistors.
- the control input of the threshold element can be connected via a resistor and a diode to the reference potential, wherein the resistor to the control input the threshold element is connected.
- the resistor to the control input the threshold element is connected.
- the diode can connect the series circuit of coupling capacitor and resistor.
- a capacitor is connected in parallel with the resistor at the control input. The capacitor acts as a differentiating element, so that the jump of the potential following the demagnetization of the storage inductor is transmitted differentially to the input of the comparator, which can accelerate the drive.
- At one input of the comparator is a reference signal
- at the other input are the interesting signals, which are generated by the measuring resistor and the decoupling capacitor.
- a DC voltage is superimposed on this signal input, which further lifts the potential of this input from the reference potential.
- the input node of the comparator can be connected, for example via a resistor to the supply potential of the comparator.
- the reference signal is proportional to the instantaneous value of the supply voltage.
- the current consumption of the boost converter can be made approximately sinusoidal.
- the boost converter may have to adapt its operation to a supply with or without phase-control dimmer. This can be the case, for example, if the operation of the boost converter in one of the two cases does not conform to the standard in terms of mains current harmonics or if the boost converter does not work effectively in one of the two cases without a changeover in its operation.
- the electronic ballast must then be able to detect whether it is operated directly on the mains supply or on a phase control dimmer; it can then correspond set operating parameters, for example, the Abschaltstromschwelle.
- Phase-control dimmers supply the mains supply to the ballast only after an adjustable time within each mains half-cycle. During phase control there is no input voltage to the ballast. After this time, approximately the original supply voltage is applied. The voltage at the input of the electronic ballast has a steep edge following the phase control; There are jumps in the supply voltage.
- An embodiment of the invention has a differentiator connected between a power line and the reference potential of the ballast. This differentiator decouples the voltage jumps in the supply voltage. In the event of a voltage jump, relatively large peak voltages occur at its output in terms of magnitude. These peak voltages can be supplied after a possible further processing, for example in the form of a peak detection, a control circuit of the boost converter, which can then adjust the operating parameters of the boost converter accordingly.
- the electronic ballast detects by means of the differentiator, whether a phase gating dimmer is connected upstream. If the ballast is working directly on the mains supply, the operating parameters of the step-up converter are set so that it can operate in compliance with the standard. This can be done by lowering the Abschaltstromschwelle the boost converter. The boost converter then consumes a lower amplitude current. In order to charge the intermediate circuit capacitor to its maximum value, current is now absorbed by the boost converter over a relatively long period of time within a mains half-wave. The Abschaltstromschwelle can, in order to comply with the standard, be set so that the current consumption of the boost converter extends beyond beyond the 90 ° phase angle.
- the operating parameters - in particular the Abschaltstromschwelle - the boost converter are set so that the power consumption takes place in the absence of a phase gating dimmer for at least half the duration of a network half-wave.
- the differentiator comprises a series circuit of a capacitor and a resistor.
- This series circuit can be connected to one of the power lines in series with the reference potential of the electronic ballast. From the node between the resistance and the capacitor, another capacitor can be switched to the other power line. With appropriate dimensioning of capacitance and resistance, a voltage proportional to the differentiated supply voltage is applied to the resistor.
- a peak detection circuit is connected in parallel with the resistor of the differentiator circuit described in the preceding paragraph. If the step-up converter is operated on a phase-gating dimmer, the control of the step-up converter can be controlled with the peak value detected above the resistor, for example by means of a switching element connected to the peak value detection.

- At the circuit arrangement is supplied via an AC voltage input AC and rectified with a rectifier GL voltage between a node V1 and a reference potential GND.
- a first series circuit of a storage inductor L, a diode D1 and a DC link capacitor C2 is connected.
- connection between the storage inductor L and the diode D1 represents a node V2.
- a series circuit of a switching element T1 and a (measuring or shunt) resistor Rsense is connected between the node V2 and the reference potential GND.

- the threshold element T2 can be designed as a (bipolar) transistor.
- a comparator as a threshold value element.
- a node V7 is at the potential of the control input of the threshold element T2.
- a resistor R3 connects a node V4 between T1 and Rsense to the node V7.
- a node V6 is on the connection between the resistor R1 and the diode D3.
- a node V3 is on the connection between the diode D1 and the capacitor C2.
- a series circuit of a resistor R4 and a diode D2 is connected between the node V3 and the reference potential GND.
- the connection node between the diode D2 and the resistor R4 is connected to the control input of the first switching element T1.
- the diode D2 is designed as a Zener diode.
- a signal line IS is connected to the node V6. This can be briefly set by a control circuit to the reference potential GND.
- a second signal line SD is connected to the control input of the switching element T1.
- the control circuit can block the boost converter with this signal line.
- Figure 2a shows the potential at node V6 and at node V4 as functions of time.
- a current IL flows.
- a voltage proportional to the current IL through the storage inductor L is measured at the node V4.
- the potential maps the magnetization state of the storage inductor L. This is done by the decoupling capacitor C1. If the storage choke is magnetized, the decoupling capacitor C1 is discharged.
- the potential at the node V6 corresponds approximately to the reference potential GND 1 because it corresponds to one of the forward voltage from the diode D3 negative value with respect to the reference potential GND is clamped.
- the decoupling capacitor C1 is charged. At the node V6, a potential is formed that is significantly above the reference potential GND.
- the decoupling capacitor C1 is dimensioned so that the time constant of the capacitor C1 and the resistor R1 is so large that during the demagnetization of the storage inductor L 1 in the time interval tb, does not come to a complete charging of the decoupling capacitor C1 and the potential the node V6 remains above the switch-on of the threshold value T2.
- intervals ta and tb and times t1 and t2 are plotted, which correspond to the relevant time intervals.
- FIG. 2 b shows the current IL through the storage inductor L as a function of time.
- Figure 2 c shows the potential at node V7 as a function of time.
- the switching element T1 is turned on and the Schwellwert- element T2 off.
- the potential applied to node V4 increases in proportion to the current IL through the storage choke.
- the potential at the node V6 corresponds approximately to the reference potential GND. If the potential at the node V7, which is connected to the node V4 via the resistor R3, exceeds the switch-on threshold voltage of the threshold element T2, then the threshold element T2 is turned on and the switching element T1 is turned off. This also limits the maximum current through the boost converter.
- the corresponding time t2 defines the end of the time interval ta.
- the time interval tb follows.
- the threshold element T2 is switched on at the time t2 indirectly by the potential at the node V4 via the resistor R3.
- the switching element T1 is turned off by the threshold element T2.
- the potential jumps at the time t2 to a value which is significantly above the reference potential GND.
- the storage choke is replaced during the time demagnetized tb.
- a current flows through C1, R1 and R2 to the control input of the threshold element T2 and keeps it switched on as long as the Abmagnetmaschinesstrom flows.
- the switching element T1 is switched off because the potential at its control input no longer exceeds the switch-on threshold.
- the time interval tb ends with the complete demagnetization of the storage inductor L.
- the potential at the node V2 jumps to the potential at the node V1 at the end of the time interval tb.
- This jump defines the time t1 and, via the decoupling capacitor C1, the resistor R1 and the diode D3 at the node V6, causes a potential which approximately corresponds to the reference potential GND.
- the potential is no longer sufficient to keep the threshold element T2 switched on. It locks.
- the threshold value element T2 is switched off and a sufficient voltage is applied to the intermediate circuit capacitor C2. Then, the switching element T1 is turned on by the voltage across the link capacitor via R4. In the second case, the control circuit via the signal line IS, the voltage at node V6 briefly set to the reference potential GND. As a result, the switching element T1 is turned on via the resistor R4.
- the second case may occur when the capacitors C1 and C2 are charged in parallel to the potential V1 when the supply voltage AC is applied for the first time.
- the potential V6 can then not drop below the switch-on threshold voltage of the threshold element T2 during a time that is significantly longer than the period of the boost converter.
- the Threshold element T2 can not be turned off until the charging of the DC link capacitor C2 is completed to the highest instantaneous value of the supply voltage. In this state, the boost converter is blocked by the threshold element T2.
- the control circuit can block the operation of the boost setter via the signal line SD at any time. This can happen, for example, when a desired voltage is reached at the DC link capacitor C2.
- the threshold element T2 has several functions in a circuit arrangement as described above: First, it is a threshold element for detecting signals at the node V7; the second function is to drive or drive the switching element T1. Furthermore, the threshold element also works as an inverter.
- the resulting maximum current through the storage inductor L is dependent on the tolerance of the switching threshold of the threshold element T2.
- Figure 3 shows a circuit diagram of a second circuit arrangement according to the invention, which is improved in this regard.
- the threshold element used is not a transistor but a comparator AMP with a downstream driver circuit TS. Since the comparator AMP alone can not provide the power for driving the switching element T1, the driver circuit TS is connected downstream of it.
- the comparator AMP receives a separate power supply Vcc.
- a diode D4 is connected between the node V6 and the positive supply potential Vcc. It is possible to connect a capacitor C3 in parallel to the resistor R2. This accelerates the rise of the potential at the node V7 at a rise of the potential at the node V6 at the time t1 because it differentially transfers the potential jump.
- the transhipment of C3 occurs much faster than the increase of the voltage at the node V7 by the supply taking the current IL. The effect is already taken into account in FIG. 2 c.
- the capacitor C3 is shown in FIG. Between the capacitor C3 and the resistor R3, a resistor R5 is connected to the supply voltage Vcc.
- An input of the comparator AMP is supplied with a switch-off threshold Vref. This corresponds to the switch-off criterion for the switching element Tl It can be set constant, but also made variable, for example, proportional to the curve of the input voltage AC.
- the input of the comparator should not be loaded with too high voltages.
- the switching off of the switching element T1 at the time t2 causes a voltage jump at the node V7.
- a diode V4 is switched from node V6 to the positive supply potential Vcc of the comparator.
- the voltage at the node V6 is limited to a potential which is higher by the forward voltage of the diode D4 than the supply potential Vcc of the comparator.
- a so-called pull-up resistor R5 is connected between the node V7 and the positive supply potential Vcc. The potential at node V7 is thereby removed from the reference potential. Although this reduces the signal swing, the measure can still be advantageous because the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved.
- FIGS. 1 and 3 show a circuit arrangement according to the invention for detecting whether the electronic ballast is operated directly on the supply network or on a phase gating dimmer.
- a capacitor CD is connected as a differentiating element to one of the power lines N or L.
- a resistor RD is connected, which connects the capacitor CD to the reference potential GND.
- the anode of a diode DS is connected, the cathode is also connected in series with another capacitor CS to the reference potential GND.
- This circuit represents a peak detection circuit of the voltage appearing across the resistor RD.
- the base of a transistor T is connected through a resistor RS.
- the emitter is connected to the reference potential GND and the collector TC to elements of the boost converter, which may affect the operation of the boost converter operation.
- the components of the circuit arrangement in FIG. 5 are designed in such a way that the peak value of the voltage across RD is stored in the capacitor CS via the diode DS and the voltage across the capacitor CS can not switch on the transistor T.
- the supply voltage shows significant jumps.
- high peak values occur across the resistor RD, so that the capacitor CS is charged to significantly higher values compared to operation without phase-angle dimmer.
- the voltage across the capacitor CS can now put the transistor T in a conductive state via the resistor RS, whereby the collector-side output of the transistor TC is approximately at the reference potential GND becomes.
- the boost converter Via the output TC of the transistor T, the boost converter can be addressed, so that the Abschaltstromschwelle decreases.
- the Abschaltstromschwelle is determined by the resistors R2 and R3. If a resistor is switched via the switch T from the potential at the node V7 to the reference potential GND, the resulting setpoint becomes larger when the switch T is turned on.
- the Abschaltstromschwelle is determined by the reference voltage Vref.
- the voltage Vref can be generated by a voltage divider circuit of resistors. To one of these resistors, a resistor can be connected in parallel via the switch T. Switching the switch T on and off changes the reference voltage Vref.
