Abstract
This paper presents a design methodology, analysis, and practical considerations of self-oscillating drive circuit for electronic ballasts by considering the self-oscillating electronic ballast as a relay control system The first section of the paper analyzes the design of resonant elements, the nonlinearity present in the circuit and consideration to apply the methodology proposed The second section of the paper shows the design of self-oscillating electronic ballast using control tools such as: describing function, extended Nyquist criterion and block diagrams that allows an expression for designing the self-oscillating electronic ballast to be found
