Abstract
An electronic ballast circuit includes a direct drive high frequency inverter circuit with a tuned output circuit and a drive circuit dependent upon current flow in a load circuit. The high frequency inverter circuit is coupled to a DC potential source which is derived from a pulsed DC potential source by way of a charge storage and charge isolating circuit. An oscillator provides a starting capability for the high frequency inverter circuit and is essentially removed from the active circuitry upon energization of the high frequency inverter circuit.
