Dimmable instant-start ballast
A dimmable instant-start ballast for a plurality of LED lamps and/or a plurality of fluorescent lamps is provided, which includes an isolated dimming interface, a duty control device, a dimming switch, and an inverter circuit. The isolated dimming interface receives a dimming signal to generate a dimming voltage. The duty control device generates an operation signal according to the dimming voltage. The dimming switch periodically couples a first node to a ground according to the operation signal. The inverter circuit receives a rectified voltage and is coupled to the first node. When the first node is coupled to the ground terminal, the inverter circuit provides a lamp current for the LED lamps and/or the fluorescent lamps.
