Abstract
A spiral pulse generator is used to start a high-pressure discharge lamp and is accommodated directly in the external bulb of the lamp. The spiral pulse generator comprises two parts which are manufactured jointly as an LTCC component.
Claims16
A high-pressure discharge lamp with a discharge vessel, which is accommodated in an outer bulb, a starting device which generates high-voltage pulses of at least 15 kV in the lamp being integrated in the lamp, characterized in that the starting device is accommodated in the outer bulb and comprises a first spiral pulse generator, the high starting voltage being generated by a combination of the first generator with a second such generator, the two generators being configured in an integrated fashion in a single spiral and consequently forming a double spiral pulse generator.
A high-pressure discharge lamp with a discharge vessel and with an assigned starting device, the starting device generating high-voltage pulses and including a spiral pulse generator, characterized in that the spiral pulse generator is produced from an LTCC material, a high starting voltage of over 15 kV being generated in combination with a second such generator, the two generators being wired on the push-pull principle and configured in an integrated fashion in a single spiral.
A compact high-voltage pulse generator based on a spiral pulse generator, characterized in that the spiral pulse generator is configured as an LTCC component and comprises two ceramic sheets and metallic conductive paste applied thereto, a high starting voltage of over 15 kV being generated by combination with a second such generator, the two generators being wired on the push-pull principle and configured in an integrated fashion in a single spiral, by two spaced-apart strips of metallic conductive paste being respectively applied to a sheet.
