Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0800335A2] The circuit has a converter with two alternately switching converter transistors (Q1,Q2), first and second auxiliary transistors (T1,T2) in the control circuits for the first and second converter transistors respectively and a resonant load circuit connected to the converter output (M) and contg. at least one lamp (LP). The emitter or source resistance of the first and second converter transistor is a parallel circuit contg. at least one Ohmic resistor (R5,R7) and the control path of the first and second auxiliary transistor (T1,T2) respectively. The control inputs of both auxiliary transistors are connected to the output of a common control circuit (IC).
