CFL ballast HB/PP
Hello
I have the idea to design a battery-operated ballast for a 5W CFL. I made this schematic based on a push-pull topology, but I'm not sure if this topology is the right one for a CFL ballast. In a lot of schematics I see half-bridge designs. Is it better to use this topology for the ballast?
The goal is to make a ballast with high efficiency (> 90%), and low component count/cost. With PP only a few components are needed, but is it also the best for a high efficient design? Thanks in advance.
