Analysis and implementation of a synchronous buck converter used as an intermediate stage of an HID ballast

Vernyuk, Sergey V.

Abstract Details

2004, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Cleveland State University, Fenn College of Engineering.
The contribution of this thesis is the analysis of a Synchronous Buck converter, used as the second stage (which controls the current through the lamp, and consequently, the lamp power) in a 3-stage High-Intensity Discharge (HID) ballast. Where previously standard Buck converters were used, this new application of the Synchronous Buck converter to a medium-power lighting ballast improves efficiency by operating the converter in a new, modified critical-conduction mode to achieve soft-switching and improve efficiency significantly. The converter and 2-loop controller will be analyzed in the three HID lamp modes of operation: open circuit, short circuit, and power control mode. Simulation and analytical results are compared to the experimental results.
