Patent abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for converting DC power to AC and for driving multiple discharge lamps and, more particularly, Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFLs), External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps (EEFLs), and Flat Fluorescent Lamps (FFLs). Disclosed methods, among other advantages, allow accurate current sharing among the lamps, minimization of the total number of power switches, and, in general, simplification of the complexity of the control system.
