Abstract

See full text

The present invention is capable of continuously applying an optimum starting waveform to a discharge lamp using a simple-enough circuit configuration. A starting circuit is connected to output terminals of an inverter, and the starting circuit outputs to a discharge lamp an output voltage Vout capable of starting the discharge lamp that is a load, upon receiving an AC power with a high frequency from the inverter at the start of the discharge lamp. Further, the starting circuit is connected to output terminals of the inverter, and comprises two windings connected to the output terminals of the inverter and serially connected to the discharge lamp; a first capacitor connected between an output terminal of the first winding and an input terminal of the second winding; and a second capacitor connected between an input terminal of the first winding and an output terminal of the second winding.
