Control Algorithm Description
is higher than the generated sine waveform, then the comparator output is in log.1 and PWM1 is switched off. This happens every PWM period and this process is called cycle by cycle limiting. PWM1 operates at a 40 kHz frequency with variable duty cycle. For safety reasons, the comparator is enabled when the microcontroller is initialized and mains voltage synchronization is provided.
5.2.2 Light Ballast Control
Light Ballast Control controls the fluorescent tubes. The control process consists of two parts (modes), tube start mode and tube run mode. Figure
