Abstract
An inductive boost circuit is added in parallel with an inverter to increase current to an EL lamp. The inverter and the boost circuit each include a switching transistor. The switching transistor in the inductive boost circuit may be matched to the switching transistor in the inverter and may be driven synchronously with the switching transistor in the inverter.
