As such, hundreds of millions of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are sold every year, with an ever-increasing demand for higher reliability. Today's lighting systems need ballast control functions to drive compact fluorescent lamps, adding cost and requiring more design time. Also, these functions must often be...
