Abstract
A resonant inverter with a self-oscillating driver IC for powering AC loads, such as gas discharge lamps or regulated DC/DC converters, includes a timing circuit that generates control strobe pulses that are injected into the timing circuit. The timing circuit is coupled to an inverter resonant tank through a feed back circuit providing phase lock for the resonant inverter. The feed back circuit includes a source of variable bias current connected to an input terminal of a zero signal detector to shift an angle at which polarity changes to control a frequency for the resonant inverter.
