Abstract
An electronic ballast for use in illuminating a lamp includes a voltage reference generator that uses a plurality of current amplifiers and resistors having substantially identical resistance characteristics to remain stable in response to temperature variations and despite resistance process dispersion. The reference voltage generator further includes an ON/OFF controller and a dimming function that may be controlled via a single input terminal. Additionally, the dimming function uses a capacitor to prevent abrupt changes in an input signal from causing abrupt changes in a feedback signal that controls an output frequency of the ballast.
