Voltage multiplication circuit for starting uv source gas discharge lamps.
Gas discharge lamps need a momentary high voltage to initiate their operation but normal operation only requires a much lower operating voltage. Circuit design parameters are presented, together with a practical arrangement, so that the HV trigger pulse may be derived in an economical manner from the normal operating power source.
