A new single-stage converter with combined flyback and class D high power factor electronic ballast is presented in this paper. The single-stage converter of combined flyback and class D high power factor electronic ballast is composed of two flyback converters and a class D resonant inverter. The two flyback converters are alternatively turned on to produce an input current near the critical range of the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and the continuous conduction mode (CCM). As a result, this proposed single-stage converter with high power factor electronic ballast can provide a smoother input current waveform, lower input current harmonics and less switching current stress.
