Abstract (en)

A frequency converter circuit for powering cold cathode fluorescent tubes comprising a circuit block (1) generating a square wave pulsed signal. This signal is used to power the primary winding (2) of a transformer (3) the secondary (4) of which is connected to at least one cold cathode fluorescent tube, said primary winding being connected to components (58, 63) connected to said circuit block (1), and which zero the mean value of said square wave pulsed signal.
