本論文針對複金屬燈，設計一含返覆共振點火電路之新型複金屬燈電子安定器。電子安定器採雙級式架構，由功因修正電路與具電流控制之全橋換流器組成。換流器整合電流控制、濾波與點火等多項功\能。
全橋換流器一臂操作於低頻，另一臂操作於高頻。換流器的低頻側採用單向切換開關，於燈管未點亮前，配合儲能元件(電感與電容)的返覆共振，迅速累積點燈所需的高壓；高頻側則使用雙向切換開關，藉由導通率的調整，達到電流控制的目的。在此電路架構中，儲能元件兼具產生高壓與濾波器功能，濾除電路中高頻成分，以低頻方波定電流方式驅動燈管。
本文提出之電子安定器運用全橋換流器與儲能元件的電路架構安排，配合特殊的控制方式與參數設計，可滿足點燈暫態與穩態運轉需求，同時可減少電路元件，降低製造成本。

In this thesis, a novel electronic ballast that includes a repeatedly resonating ignition circuit is proposed for metal halide lamps. The proposed electronic ballast features a two-stage structure that comprises a power factor corrector and a full-bridge inverter used for current control, filtering and ignition.
The full-bridge inverter consists of a leg operating at low-frequency with unidirectional switches and a leg operating at high frequency with bidirectional switches. The low-frequency side performs repetitive resonating on the load circuit with inductors and capacitors to accumulate a high voltage for ignition. Adjusting the duty-ratio of the high-frequency side allows for the regulation of the lamp current. The inductors and capacitors in the load circuit function not only producing the high ignition voltage but also filtering out high-frequency components, so that to drive the lamp with a low-frequency square-wave current.
The proposed electronic ballast employing the full-bridge inverter with the specially designed control scheme and circuit parameters allows the metal halide lamp to tackle the demanding starting transient and steady state operation. With a simpler circuit structure and a reduced component count, the product cost will be much lower.
