Abstract

A multi-resonant circuit has a series-resonant circuit coupled to the input of an inverter. The output of the inverter is coupled to a parallel resonant circuit. The output of the parallel resonant circuit energizes a load, which could be gas discharge lamps. The operating frequency of the inverter is between the resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit and the resonant frequency of the parallel resonant circuit.
