An electronic ballast with wide dimming range, high PF, and low EMI.

The authors describe an electronic ballast design with the capability of low radiated and conducted EMI over a wide dimming range. It overcomes some limitations of traditional electronic ballasts that use frequency variation for dimming control. The proposed design allows soft switching of the balla...
