Definitions
- the invention relates to an electronic ballast for operating an electrode discharge lamp or an electronic transformer for operating a low-voltage halogen lamp
- ballasts The designer of electronic ballasts first thinks of operating a ballast to be designed by him at mains frequency, since the mains frequency is present. However, it shows that the components have to be chosen relatively large. As a result, the ballast is not only is expensive but also has relatively large wear
- ballast designers have therefore very soon switched to using higher frequencies for the operation of the ballasts in order to be able to use components with smaller dimensions, with the result that the ballast has also become smaller and cheaper the mains voltage must first be rectified and that a higher-frequency alternating voltage must be generated from the rectified mains voltage, but the advantages outlined outweigh in terms of the additional work involved, and there is another advantage, namely that the efficiency of low-pressure discharge lamps increases at higher frequencies
- the invention is therefore based on the object of breaking the previously considered optimum frequency limits for electronic ballasts and electronic transformers and treading new paths in the development and in particular the miniaturization of these devices
- the object is achieved in that the inverter of an electronic ballast is now operated for igniting and in operation of the lamp at frequencies above 200 kHz and that passive components of the ballast are integrated in a multilayer circuit.
- the inverter is preferably operated at frequencies above 1 MHz, in particular between 2.2 MHz and 3.0 MHz.
- No. 5,371,440 describes an electronic ballast in which the rectified mains supply voltage is first converted into a high-frequency AC voltage with a frequency of 1-2 MHz and is also modulated with a frequency of approximately 20 kHz before this AC voltage is to be operated Lamp is supplied, however, it is smoothed again, so that the lamp is again operated only at a frequency m the known range of about 20-50 kHz
- ballast known from WO 96/07297 A2
- an AC voltage with a frequency of 2.65 MHz is actually fed to the load circuit.
- special precautions are taken for lamp operation. A certain ratio between the resonance frequency of the load circuit and the frequency of the inverter is selected, which ensures particularly effective operation.
- this ballast is particularly suitable for electrode-less lamps
- ballast In order to keep the radiation of electromagnetic high-frequency fields as low as possible at the high frequencies according to the invention, it is desirable to make the ballast compact, since in this case shielding measures can be carried out in a simple manner by increasing the operating frequency Capacitance and inductance values of some of the components used in the ballast are reduced such that, instead of using discrete components, these elements can be integrated into a multi-layer circuit according to the invention.
- passive components such as resistors, capacitors, transformers or chokes are suitable for integration. so that a significant reduction in the dimensions of the entire ballast can be achieved
- the object is also achieved by an electronic transformer for operating a low-voltage halogen lamp, which has an inverter which is supplied with direct voltage and whose output frequency can be varied, and a load circuit connected to the output of the inverter, which has at least one transformer and contains a low-voltage halogen lamp connected to the secondary winding of the transformer.
- the inverter is in turn operated at frequencies above 200 kHz and passive components of the electronic transformer are integrated in a multilayer circuit.
- the inverter is preferably operated at a frequency above 1 MHz, particularly preferably between 2. 3 MHz and 3.0 MHz. This area is particularly advantageous insofar as the European standards allow increased store radiation here.
- the integration of components can take place, for example, by means of a multi-layer circuit board technology.
- the multi-layer circuit is preferably implemented by an LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) structure, which consists of several superimposed, low-sintering ceramic layers or foils, between which there are conductor tracks
- LTCC Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic
- Conventional circuit board technology can be miniaturized again with this newly developed LTCC technology in the past few years.
- inductors and capacitors can also be integrated in the multi-layer circuits.
- the ceramic material has the advantage that it warms relatively well conducts, which means that greater performance can be achieved with the same volume, since heat loss is better radiated.
- the heat dissipation is preferably increased again by embedding the ceramic structure in a metallic housing.
- Such LTCC multilayer circuits are in general form in EP 0 581 206 A2 or US 5,945,902 At operating frequencies in the megahertz range, a large part of the components of the ballast can be integrated into the multi-layer circuit.
- the remaining passive components as well as some semiconductor modules are still to be attached to the surface or outside the ceramic structure in order to achieve the smallest possible space requirement for this, too the semiconductor modules are preferably mounted on the ceramic substrate using the Fhp-Chip (FC) technology, which is known from EP 0 690 460 AI, for example.
- FC Fhp-Chip
- a plastic layer is introduced between the semiconductor, which is mounted without a home, and the contacts on the surface of the carrier substrate on the one hand, it is electrically conductive perpendicular to the contacting plane and is insulating in the contacting plane, and on the other hand it absorbs the stresses that result from different thermal expansion of the semiconductor assembly and the ceramic substrate, and thus destruction ng of the semiconductor assembly prevented
- the present invention thus provides a compact ballast or a compact electronic transformer which, due to its properties, enables reliable and safe operation of discharge lamps or low-voltage halogen lamps
- FIG. 1 shows the circuit design of an electronic ballast according to the invention for operating a discharge lamp
- Fig. 2 shows a preferred application example of a socket on one side
- FIG. 3 shows the circuit design of an electronic transformer according to the invention for operating a low-voltage
- FIG. 1 shows the typical functional circuit diagram of a simple electronic ballast.
- the input of the ballast connected to the AC line voltage u " is formed by a harmonic filter 1, which acts as a radio protection filter through the Switching operations occurring in the ballast and should limit interference voltages to the supply network.
- a rectifier circuit 2 - for example a bridge rectifier or the like - is connected to the output of the harmonic filter 1.
- an electrolytic capacitor C s acting as a storage capacitor between the positive output of the rectifier circuit 2 and the input of the inverter 3.
- the inverter 3 of the ballast is formed by a half bridge made of two electronic switches S 1 and S2 connected in series, one switch each consisting of a MOS field effect transistor.
- the control of these two switches S1 and S2 takes place via a control circuit (not shown) such that one of the two switches S1 or S2 is open and the other is closed, the switching frequency according to the invention being above 200 kHz, preferably above 1 MHz and particularly preferably in the range between 2.2 and 3.0 MHz, for example at approximately 2.65 MHz.
- the load circuit containing the discharge lamp LA is connected to the common node of the two switches S 1 and S2.
- This consists of a series resonance circuit, which is composed of a choke coil L1 and a resonance capacitor C l.
- a coupling capacitor C2 is also arranged between the choke coil L1 and the resonance capacitor C1.
- One of the two cathodes of the discharge lamp LA is connected to the connection node between the two capacitors C1 and C2, so that the lamp LA is parallel to the resonance capacitor C1.
- the lamp LA can, for example, be a low-pressure discharge lamp. It is preferably a fluorescent lamp or a high-pressure gas discharge lamp that has electrodes and is capped on one side, since in this case the radiation from the lamp is reduced.
- the circuit structure shown in FIG. 1 is already well known from the conventional ballasts with which discharge lamps are operated in a frequency range between 20 kHz and 50 kHz, and therefore need not be explained further.
- the inductance value of the choke coil L 1 and the capacitance values of the resonance capacitor C 1 and the coupling capacitor C2 in the ballast according to the invention are, however, significantly lower than the corresponding values in a conventional ballast due to the high operating frequencies.
- the three passive components just mentioned therefore no longer have to be discrete components, but can be integrated into a multi-layer circuit.
- the circuit shown in Fig. 1 can be easily supplemented. For example, it would be conceivable to monitor the operating state of the lamp LA using suitable circuits which detect the lamp current and the lamp voltage.
- FIG. 2 shows the preferred application example of a lamp 30 with a base on one side and which is usually also referred to as a compact lamp.
- the main components of this compact lamp 30 are a base body 31, from which a U-shaped gas discharge tube 32 extends in one direction and in the opposite direction a base 33 extends.
- the base 33 is provided for the reception in a conventional light bulb socket, the electronic ballast is arranged within the base body 31. Due to the inventive integration of the passive components in a multilayer circuit, the dimensions of the ballast can be kept very small, so that it is also small Base bodies find space
- the compact lamp 30 with a base on one side can be both a fluorescent lamp and a high-pressure gas discharge lamp
- FIG. 3 shows the typical functional circuit diagram of an electronic transformer for operating a low-voltage halogen lamp, elements which are identical to the components shown in FIG. 1 being provided with the same reference symbols.
- the electronic transformer also has a harmonic filter 1 for radio interference suppression, which is connected on the input side to an alternating voltage source that supplies an alternating supply voltage u n emits, which in turn consists of two switches S1 and S2 arranged in a half-bridge circuit.
- the switches S 1, S2 are switched on and off alternately according to a certain scheme by a control circuit (again not shown), so that this results in a voltage chopped into rectangular blocks which is modulated with the rectified mains voltage.
- the AC voltage generated in this way is transmitted by means of a transformer 4 to an output-side load circuit and is thereby transformed to a low voltage necessary for the low-voltage halogen lamp 7 arranged in the load circuit.
- a further circuit 5 for rectification and a filter 6 for smoothing the transmitted AC voltage in the load circuit.
- the switches S 1 and S2 of the inverter 3 are operated according to the invention at a frequency above 200 kHz, so that a significant reduction in the inductance and capacitance values of the passive components contained in the circuit is achieved and these can thus be integrated in a multilayer circuit.
- the frequencies are preferably above 1 MHz, particularly preferably in the range between 2.2 MHz and 3.0 MHz, for example approximately 2.65 MHz.
- the circuit can also be supplemented by further monitoring circuits or control circuits for dimming the low-voltage halogen lamp 7.
- the LTCC multilayer circuit already mentioned is particularly suitable for the integration of the passive components.
- the production of such a ceramic multilayer structure will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 4a-9.
- the basic building block of an LTCC structure is an approx. 100-130 ⁇ m thick, low-sintering ceramic film - for example made of aluminum oxide, which is mixed with glass particles and other filler material - as shown in a top view in FIG. 4a.
- the first processing step consists in punching 10 through-holes 11 in the ceramic film.
- Fig. 4b shows the correspondingly processed ceramic film 10 in section II of Fig. 4a.
- the diameter of the via holes 11 is approximately 250 ⁇ m.
- the via holes 11 are then filled with a conductive material, usually with a conductor paste, which contains a relatively high proportion of solids.
- 10 conductor tracks 12 are then printed on the top of the ceramic film (FIG. 6). This is usually done using a screen printing process. Silver, silver / palladium, gold or copper pastes are used for the plated-through holes and for the conductor tracks. In order to avoid deflections, the material composition of the conductor pastes is selected such that they shrink to the same extent as the ceramic layers 10 themselves during subsequent sintering.
- the processing steps just described are first carried out separately for each ceramic film 10.
- the individual layers of punched and printed ceramic films 10 are then arranged and aligned one above the other, as shown in FIG. 7. They are then stacked in a press mold and laminated with the application of heat and pressure, so that a coherent ceramic structure is formed. This is finally sintered into a high-strength ceramic structure, a homogeneous ceramic substrate 13 with a connected interconnect network 14 being formed therein, as shown in FIG. 8.
- the components that cannot be integrated into the ceramic structure for example various semiconductor assemblies 15 and the electrolytic capacitor C s shown in FIG. 1, are then attached and contacted on the upper side of the ceramic substrate 13.
- conductor tracks 16 can also be subsequently applied to the upper side.
- the entire complex is provided with connections and surrounded by a metallic housing, which on the one hand increases heat dissipation and on the other hand shields the high-frequency electromagnetic fields that arise during operation.
- FIG. 10 again shows an area of the LTCC structure in section on an enlarged scale.
- the dividing lines between the individual original ceramic layers are also shown, even if — as described above — a homogeneous ceramic structure 13 is formed after the lamination and sintering.
- the vertically running conductor tracks 11, which are formed by the through-holes punched out in the first method step can also extend over several levels.
- the main advantage of using an LTCC structure is that not only conductor tracks 11 or 12 but also other passive components can be integrated in the multilayer circuit. In the course of the processing step shown in FIG.
- an inductance within the ceramic structure 13 could be realized by a spiral-like conductor tracks printed on an individual ceramic layer 10. However, it would also be conceivable to distribute the different windings of the inductance over several conductor track levels. Such structures are also called planar inductors. To increase the inductance, an opening or recess could also be provided in the ceramic substrate 13, which is filled with a suitable core material, for example ferrite. In particular, by integrating inductors, a significant reduction in the size of the entire ballast or electronic transformer can be achieved.
- inductance and capacitance values up to a certain level can be achieved. However, these values are sufficient for correct operation of the ballast or the electronic transformer at the frequencies according to the invention.
- control circuits for activating the two switches S1 and S2 of the inverter and any monitoring circuits are essentially formed by semiconductor modules 15 which cannot be integrated into the ceramic layer 13. Such semiconductor modules 15 are then preferably contacted at the top of the multilayer circuit 13 by means of flip-chip technology.
- the plastic contains, for example, irregularly shaped metal pieces or else smaller balls or fibers, which bring about contact between the surface contacts 18 of the ceramic substrate 13 and the connection pads 17 of the semiconductor assembly 15. Furthermore, this plastic 18 also absorbs voltages which can result from a different thermal expansion of the ceramic material and the semiconductor module 15.
- This flip-chip technology enables a very high contact density, so that it also contributes to a volume reduction of the entire ballast.
