Abstract

See full text

A control device for a fluorescent lamp comprises two independent circuits based on a power transistor and a switching control circuit, series-connected between a high voltage and the ground. The power transistor has a diode that is reverse mounted between its two electrodes. The switching control circuit comprises a circuit for the detection of a voltage at the terminals of the diode greater than a voltage reference value and a circuit for the detection of the integral of the current flowing in the transistor that is greater than a current reference value corresponding to the power of the lamp.
