An apparatus and method to implement an electronic ballast for a high intensity discharge lamp having AC lamp current centered at approximately 300 kHz minimizes the ballast cost and utilizes modulation of the lamp current to avoid acoustic resonance. In order to minimize the number of additional components providing the modulation function, the ripple voltage produced by PFC circuit is fed through a capacitor to a FREQUENCY SET input of an inverter controller. The value of the capacitor can be chosen to produce the desired modulation range.

Appareil et méthode de mise en place d'un ballast électronique pour une lampe à décharge d'énergie à haute intensité et alimentée par c.a. centré à environ 300 kHz, qui permet de minimiser le cout de ballastage et qui a recours à la modulation du courant de la lampe pour éviter toute résonnance acoustique. Afin de minimiser le nombre de composants supplémentaires assurant la fonction de modulation, la tension d'ondulation produite par le circuit de correction du facteur de puissance (PFC) est acheminée par un condensateur en fonction d'un signal d'entrée DE RÉGLAGE DE FRÉQUENCE provenant d'un commutateur convertisseur. La valeur du condensateur peut être choisie de façon à produire la plage de modulation désirée.
