Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a current converter to supply a DBD exciplex lamp. The structure is implemented, based on a Boost converter. An analysis in the state plane is used, to determine the stability of the converter and the values of current and voltage during the discharge phase. An electrical model of the lamp is used to simulate the non measurable variables: the gas current and the gas conductance. Finally, the relationship between the gas current and the UV emission is presented.
