Features: This book comprehensively introduces new specialized integrated circuits (ASICs) and components for electronic ballasts of various gas discharge lamps and low-voltage halogen tungsten lamp electronic transformers. The book is divided into nine chapters, primarily covering green lighting-related knowledge, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), straight-tubular fluorescent lamps (TLs), electronic dimmable fluorescent lamps, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs), electronic ballast ASICs for low-voltage lighting electronic transformers, and chips used in electronic ballast power factor correction (PFC) controllers. For each IC, the introduction specifically covers its basic structure, pin functions, performance characteristics, working principles, typical application circuits, and design. The book covers a wide range of topics, provides detailed information, is richly illustrated, and presents innovative technology, making it systematic, practical, instructive, and forward-looking. It is suitable for engineers and technicians engaged in R&D and production in the electronics and lighting industries, as well as for faculty and students in relevant disciplines at universities.
