- the voltage rise at light load affects the withstand voltage of the parts used, especially the switching elements such as the electrolytic capacitor for smoothing capacitor Cs and FET, etc., so the fluorescent lamp is turned on especially when fluorescent light is used for the load. Since this state elapses every time at the start, what kind of mode the input current Ii is in is important.

- a conventional neutral point type integrated circuit device is provided.
- the inductor was connected between the neutral point and the SW point, and high-frequency power was applied to this inductor. Since the configuration is such that the voltage is supplied, it is possible to operate as a booster overnight due to the back electromotive voltage of the inductor. By this operation as the boosted inverter, it is possible to obtain a high frequency voltage at both ends of the inductor which is approximately twice as high as that of the conventional neutral point type inverter.
- the obtained high-frequency voltage is a voltage having a small difference between the maximum peak Vmax and the minimum peak Vmin, so that a higher and more stable high-frequency voltage can be obtained than in the conventional neutral point type night sky device.
- the conventional neutral point inverter is used as the input voltage.
- a voltage higher than the commercial voltage (100 V) is required, and the voltage is stepped up by a transformer or the like.

- the harmonic current since the harmonic current has the same characteristics as that of the neutral point type device, it can be applied sufficiently to prevent harmonic disturbance of the input current.
- the allowable range of the constant of the smoothing capacitor for preventing the peak current and obtaining the optimum harmonic current waveform is narrow, whereas the neutral point type inverter according to the present invention is used. Since the peak current does not flow in the overnight equipment and the allowable range for setting the constant of the smoothing capacitor is wide, it is possible to use a smaller capacitor in consideration of ripple voltage etc. to reduce the size of the equipment. Also, if a capacitor is connected in series with the inductor, the voltage due to the back electromotive force of the inductor can be absorbed by the capacitor, so that the operation as the boosting inverter can be reduced and the boosting effect can be reduced. Therefore, even if the input voltage is doubled, for example, almost the same output voltage as when the above-mentioned capacitor is not connected can be obtained, and the input voltage It is possible to easily cope with switching.
- a transformer having a secondary winding can be used, and the winding ratio is set according to the high frequency voltage required by the load circuit. Desired high-frequency voltage easily without changing the primary circuit Can be obtained. Further, since the secondary winding can be insulated from the primary side, a configuration excellent in safety can be achieved. Furthermore, the power supplied to the primary winding (primary inductor) of the transformer can be effectively transmitted to the secondary side. Furthermore, if the load circuit does not require a very high voltage, connecting an inductor to the transformer in series can prevent the transformer from generating heat. In this case, the high-frequency voltage supplied to the load circuit can be reduced by using an auto transformer. Furthermore, when trying to obtain the same output voltage, a transformer smaller than the above-mentioned transformer having a secondary winding can be used, so that the neutral point type inverter can be made smaller. Becomes
- the neutral point type inverter device using the transformer having the secondary winding described above is configured to detect the intersection of the load current with the AC zero, so that the power to the inductor due to the load fluctuation is reduced. Since it is possible to prevent a decrease in supply capacity, an ideal high-frequency voltage can be generated in the inductor, and an efficient neutral point type inverter can be configured. .

- FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a neutral point type integrated circuit device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and constitutes an integrated type ballast for lighting a fluorescent lamp LT.
- a commercial power supply is connected to the AC input terminal of the full-wave rectifier DB via a low-pass filter LPF composed of an inductor Lf and a capacitor Cf.
- the direct-current output terminal of the full-wave rectifier DB has a series circuit of two small-capacitance capacitors C1 and C2, and the first and second switching elements (transistors) Q1 and Q2 that are turned on and off alternately by the drive circuit DR.
- a series circuit is connected in parallel with the smoothing capacitor Cs that smoothes the output of the rectifier DB.
- First and second diodes D1 and D2 are connected in anti-parallel to the switching elements Q1 and Q2, respectively.
- the load circuit consists of inductor Lo and fluorescent lamp LT.
- Inductor Lo is connected between the neutral point and the connection point of switching elements Q1 and Q2 (SW point).
- a series circuit of a fluorescent lamp LT and an inductor La functioning as a choke coil is connected in parallel to the inductor Lo, and a resonance capacitor C4 is configured to be connected in parallel to the fluorescent lamp LT as necessary. I have. When the resonance capacitor C4 is connected, the inductor Lo and the resonance capacitor C4 form a parallel resonance circuit, and the resonance voltage generated at both ends of the resonance capacitor C4 is applied to the fluorescent lamp LT. If a load other than the fluorescent lamp LT is used, the load can be directly connected in parallel with the inductor Lo without connecting the inductor La.
- the voltage waveforms of the voltage dividing capacitors C1 and C2 become waveforms as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively (however, the voltage varies depending on the values of the inductor Lo, the voltage dividing capacitors Cl and C2, etc.).
- the voltage Ed of the smoothing capacitor Cs is a direct current.
- the voltage Ed of the smoothing capacitor Cs has a ripple voltage (this is shown in Fig. 4 corresponding to the input voltage Vi). Therefore, all the diodes constituting the rectifier DB are not turned on, and the diodes DB3 and DB4 are turned on only during the period near 1/4 T of the input voltage Vi of 0 V, and currents (Id3, Id4) flow through the diodes. The rest is off and there is a section where no current flows in the diode.
- the on-period of the diodes DB3 and DB4 constituting the rectifier DB hardly changes depending on the magnitude of the ripple voltage. That is, The AC component of the ripple voltage crosses at the same time regardless of the capacity of the capacitor Cs. At this time, the frequency of the ripple voltage is twice the frequency of the input Vi.
- the voltage Ed of the smoothing capacitor Cs fluctuates due to the capacitance of the voltage dividing capacitors Cl and C2 due to the voltage drop of the voltage dividing capacitors Cl and C2. Therefore, the voltage waveforms of the voltage dividing capacitors C1 and C2 are as shown in FIG. It should be noted that the voltage V cu V C 2 is shown superimposed on AC zero.
- the ratio of the capacitance value of the smoothing capacitor Cs to the capacitance value of the voltage dividing capacitors Cl and C2 is desirably about 1: 1/10000.
- the capacitance values of the voltage dividing capacitors Cl and C2 are about 0.004 to 0.01 / iF. This is considered as follows.
- both ends of the inductor Lo are approximately 270 to 300 V.
- An output voltage is obtained. That is, as described above, a high-frequency AC current flows alternately in the inductor Lo, and a high-frequency voltage is generated in the inductor Lo.
- This voltage resonates by the resonance capacitor C4 connected in parallel with the fluorescent lamp LT, and the fluorescent lamp LT is turned on by this resonance voltage (high voltage) together with the preheating of the fluorescent lamp filament.
- the fluorescent lamp current is controlled to a constant current by the function as a choke coil by Inductor La, and the lamp is lit stably. Note that, depending on the type of fluorescent lamp, lighting can be started in a cold cathode state. In this case, the resonance capacitor C4 may not be used.
- the harmonic current of the commercial power supply is different from that of the conventional neutral point inverter. There is no problem, it can be reduced by introducing a single pass filter LPF to the input, and it can sufficiently cope with the harmonic problem of the commercial power supply. Rather, it is better because no peak current flows. Further, since this peak current does not flow, there is a degree of freedom in selecting the smoothing capacitor Cs, and various constants can be selected in consideration of the ripple voltage and the like.
- the neutral point transmitter and receiver according to the present invention does not employ a completely smoothing method, so that desired characteristics can be obtained with a small-capacity smoothing capacitor Cs. Needless to say, it decreases.
- the smoothing capacitor Cs usually requires a number of 10 O / iF.
- a small-sized smoothing capacitor Cs can be used, which is suitable for downsizing the device.
- a transistor is used as a switching element.
