| Abstract |
This paper presents educational software for a PIC microcontroller used to study and design resonant electronic ballasts. The digitally controlled resonant inverter enables students to investigate the ballast behavior when changing the values of parameters. The soft start-up sequence and control of the LCsCp resonant inverter applied to supply high intensity discharge (HID) lamps is implemented in a PIC16F628. A new graphic interface BCP (Ballast Controlled by PIC Software) between student and microcontroller is presented. |
