Features: This book comprehensively introduces new specialized integrated circuits (ASICs) and components for electronic ballasts of various gas discharge lamps and electronic transformers for low-voltage halogen tungsten lamps. The book is divided into nine chapters, covering main topics such as knowledge related to green lighting, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), straight-tube 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 details its basic structure, pin functions, performance characteristics, working principles, typical application circuits, and design. The book covers a broad range of content, provides detailed information, features rich illustrations, and presents cutting-edge technology, making it systematic, practical, instructive, and forward-looking. It is suitable for engineering and technical personnel in the electronics industry and the lighting industry engaged in R&D and production. It can also serve as a reference for faculty and students in relevant fields at universities.
