Abstract

A solid state power supply circuit for providing high frequency power to ignite oil or gas and operate neon sign transformers. A switch operates in conjunction with a resonant tank circuit to supply power to the resonant tank at a predetermined time. The timing of the pulse is controlled to occur when the operation of the transistor will result in providing maximum energy to the load while minimizing power dissipation in the transistor. An amplifier and clamping circuit also operate to limit the duration of the pulse to further reduce power dissipation in the switch.
