本論文提出具抑制直流電壓應力功能之連續導通模式充電幫浦功因修正電子安定器。所研製之電子安定器，係採用充電幫浦功率因數修正技術，俾以符合功率因數規範。然而，當充電幫浦功因修正電子安定器操作於預熱或點燈模式下，直流端電壓會上昇且遠高於穩態操作下之額定值，增加功率元件及直流電容器之電壓應力。因此，藉由並聯一電容於功因修正電感上，構成一帶拒濾波器(notch filter)於電子安定器操作在預熱或點燈模式時，增加輸入阻抗以降低安定器之直流電壓應力。此外，針對本論文所提出之連續導通模式充電幫浦功因修正電子安定器，提出其之設計準則，達到高功因且抑制直流電壓應力之效果。
最後，分別實做54W之電壓源及電流源連續導通模式充電幫浦功因修正的T5螢光燈電子安定器雛型電路，俾以驗證功率因數修正效果及抑制直流電壓應力的功能。

This thesis presents the continuous-conduction-mode charge-pump power-factor-correction (CCM CP-PFC) electronic ballasts with DC-bus voltage-stress reduction function. The CP-PFC techniques are widely applied to the electronic ballasts in order to achieve high power factor. However, the DC-bus voltage at preheat or ignition mode is higher than that at steady-state operation, which causes high voltage stresses on the active and passive components. Therefore, the input notch filter for the CCM CP-PFC electronic ballasts is proposed in order to reduce the DC-bus voltage stress at preheat and ignition modes. Furthermore, to achieve high power factor functionality, the design guidelines for the CCM voltage-source (VS) and current-source (CS) CP-PFC electronic ballasts are presented.
Finally, two prototype circuits of the CCM VS and CS CP-PFC electronic ballasts for one T5-54W fluorescent lamp are built to verify the performance of the PFC and the voltage-stress reduction capability of the DC-bus.
