Inverter tests keep CCFLs shining

Inverter workings. The basic design of all ERG inverters involves a low-voltage oscillator that converts a DC input, typically 5 V to 12 V, into a low-voltage AC waveform that the a step-up transformer boosts to 1000 V rms to 2000 V rms, the voltage needed to start a CCFL. This voltage is … ................
