Kurve 21 zeigt die Ansteuerung des gesteuerten Schalters Sl, Kurve 22 zeigt die Ansteuerung des gesteuerten Schalters S2, jeweils zwischen den Zuständen "Ein" und "Aus". Die Kurve 23 stellt die Magnetisierung des Übertragerkerns 2 zwischen den
Werten +B und -B dar und zeigt deren sägezahnartigen Verlauf entsprechend der mittels der Schalter Sl und S2 hervorgerufenen Einschaltung des Stromes zwischen der Batteriespannung +UB und dem Nullpotential 0. Mit Kurve 24 ist der Verlauf der Spannung auf Leitung 7 in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Aufgrund der Zenerdioden ZI und Z2 wird hier ein Spannungswert zwischen -30V und +50V erreicht.

Dies erfolgt mit Hilfe der gesteuerten Schalter Sl und S2. Die Richtung ist dabei davon abhängig, ob der Schalter Sl oder ob der Schalter S2 getaktet wird. Das Takten der Schalter Sl und S2 geschieht hochfrequent, bevorzugt mit einigen 100 kHz, um kleine Bauformen realisieren zu können.

Einschalttastverhältnis der beiden gesteuerten Schalter Sl und S2 ist entsprechend der Erfindung so gewählt, daß es größer als 50%, bevorzugt ca. 80%, beträgt. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die an den Wicklungen anstehende Spannung im eingeschalteten Zustand eines der gesteuerten Schalter Sl oder S2 geringer ist als im ausgeschalteten Zustand.The duty cycle of the two controlled switches S1 and S2 is selected according to the invention in such a way that it is greater than 50%, preferably approximately 80%. It is thereby achieved that the voltage applied to the windings in the switched-on state of one of the controlled switches S1 or S2 is lower than in the switched-off state.
Die Primärseite 3 bildet zusammen mit der ersten Sekundärwicklung 11 sowie dem Gleichrichter 12 und dem Kondensator 13 das Schaltnetzteil 9. Durch die Verwendung des Gleichrichters 12 ist es gleichgültig, ob über den Schalter Sl die Wicklung 5 oder ob über den Schalter S2 die Wicklung 4 getaktet wird. Es ist durch
diese Anordnung in günstiger Weise ein Sperrwandler geschaffen. Der nicht dargestellte Regelkreis sorgt dafür, daß die am Kondensator 13 entstehende Spannung den gewünschten Sollwert einhält.The primary side 3 forms, together with the first secondary winding 11 and the rectifier 12 and the capacitor 13, the switched-mode power supply 9. By using the rectifier 12, it does not matter whether the winding 5 is clocked via the switch S1 or whether the winding 4 is clocked via the switch S2 becomes. It's through this arrangement created a flyback converter in a favorable manner. The control loop, not shown, ensures that the voltage developing across the capacitor 13 maintains the desired setpoint.
Zur Ansteuerimpulsübertragung wird durch die Primärseite 3 des Übertragers 1 und die zweite Sekundärwicklung 14 ein Impulsübertrager gebildet, der an der Wicklung 14 Rechteckimpulse, siehe Kurve 26 in Fig. 2, erzeugt. Dadurch, daß erfindungsgemäß das Einschalttastverhältnis der Schalter Sl und S2 größer ist als 50%, entstehen in der langen Einschaltphase geringere Spannungen als in der Ausschaltphase. Dieses Rechtecksignal wird über die beiden an ihrer Kathode miteinander verbundenen, in Reihe liegenden, antiseriell geschalteten Zenerdioden ZI und Z2 auf den Kondensator 16 gelegt. Dadurch lädt sich dieser auf die entsprechende Spannung auf. Die Zenerdioden ZI und Z2 sind gleich und vorteilhafterweise derart dimensioniert, daß sie das Entladen durch die zum Einschaltzeitraum entstehende Spannung vermeiden.For control pulse transmission, a pulse transformer is formed by the primary side 3 of the transmitter 1 and the second secondary winding 14, which generates square-wave pulses on the winding 14, see curve 26 in FIG. 2. The fact that, according to the invention, the switch-on duty ratio of the switches S1 and S2 is greater than 50%, results in lower voltages in the long switch-on phase than in the switch-off phase. This square-wave signal is applied to the capacitor 16 via the two series-connected, serially connected Zener diodes ZI and Z2 connected to one another at their cathode. This charges it to the appropriate voltage. The Zener diodes ZI and Z2 are identical and advantageously dimensioned in such a way that they avoid discharging due to the voltage generated during the switch-on period.
Der Kondensator 16 kann dann weggelassen werden, wenn die Gate- Kapazität des zu schaltenden FET-Transistors 15 ausreicht. Die Frequenz, mit der die Polarität der Magnetisierung geändert wird, ist relativ niedrig, und liegt beispielsweise bei wenigen 100 Hz.The capacitor 16 can then be omitted if the gate capacitance of the FET transistor 15 to be switched is sufficient. The frequency at which the polarity of the magnetization is changed is relatively low, for example a few 100 Hz.
Die vorliegende Erfindung nutzt einen Übertragerkern mehrfach. Insbesondere erreicht sie die Reduzierung des Gesamtaufwands zur Erzeugung einer versorgungsspannungsunabhängigen stabilisierten Spannung und zur Ansteuerung eines FET-Transistors, wobei dieser auch insbesondere elektrisch floatend und ein MOSFET Transistor sein kann. Solche Transistoren werden beispielsweise in gesteuerten Halb- oder Vollbrückenschaltungen verwendet. Daher ist vorliegende Erfindung mit besonderem Vorteil in Steuergeräten für Hochdruck-Gasentladungslampen, welche bevorzugt in Kraftfahrzeugscheinwerfern eingesetzt werden, zu verwenden.
The present invention uses a transformer core several times. In particular, it achieves a reduction in the total expenditure for generating a stabilized voltage independent of the supply voltage and for driving a FET transistor, which can also be, in particular, electrically floating and a MOSFET transistor. Such transistors are used, for example, in controlled half or full bridge circuits. Therefore, the present invention can be used with particular advantage in control units for high-pressure gas discharge lamps, which are preferably used in motor vehicle headlights.
