Abstract

In a circuit arrangement for ignition and operation of a high pressure gas discharge lamp (GEL) for motor vehicles include: a desired power value determining device (LS) coupled to a first input of an integrating comparator (K) whose second input is coupled to an output of a multiplier; a switching device (S) which couples either a phase comparator or the integrating comparator (K) with a voltage control oscillator; and a status recognition device (ST), coupled with a current measuring device, for controlling the switching device which when the high pressure gas discharge lamp is not ignited couples the oscillator with the phase comparator and which when the high pressure gas discharge lamp is ignited couples the oscillator with the integrating comparator.
