Abstract
In this work a new concept of hybrid lamps burner is presented. The High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps and the new generation Light Emitting Diodes (LED) lamps can be driven by the same electronic ballast using this hybrid ASIC in 0.35m CMOS technology. In the state-of-art the electronic ballasts are managed by powerful general-purpose devices (usually FPGA or microcontroller). These devices are not customized for the specific application. Thus they have a larger area occupation and power consumption compared to ASIC solution. The designed ASIC power consumption is 35 mW and the package area is about 6.5 cm2 against 550 mW and 6.5 cm2 for commonly used PIC 18FXX2. © 2011 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
