本文综述了磁控器件、可变电感(VI)和可变变压器(VT)及其在放电灯和/或LED灯照明装置中的应用。这些电流控制装置的主要特点是磁芯的非线性和不均匀饱和。本文介绍了这种装置的基本原理和基本工作原理，并对现有专利进行了概述。这些专利将VIS或VTS设备称为有用的或工业上适用的设备。一些人提出了关于该装置的结构和行为特征的一项或多项权利要求；其他人涉及特定的应用，例如电压调节或通用镇流器操作。随后，本文通过介绍放电和固态灯驱动器的最新应用，重点回顾了利用受控电感值存在的具体技术和电路。这些应用将展示这些通常由于效率较低而不被考虑的多绕组设备如何发挥重要作用，并为最先进的灯驱动器添加功能。
This paper presents a literature review on magnetically-controlled devices, variable inductors (VI), and variable transformers (VT), and their applications to lighting gears for discharge lamps and/or LED lamps. These current-controlled devices are mainly characterized by nonlinear and non-uniform saturation of the magnetic core. The paper describes the fundamentals and basic operating principle of such devices and provides an overview of existing patents. These patents refer the devices, VIs or VTs, as useful or industrially applicable. Some present one or more claims regarding the construction of the device and behavioral characteristic; others refer to specific applications, such as voltage regulation or universal ballast operation. Afterwards, the paper focuses on the review of specific techniques and circuits taking advantage of the presence of a controlled inductance value, by covering recent applications regarding discharge and solid-state lamp drivers. These applications will show how these multi-winding devices, typically not considered due to their low efficiency, may fulfill an important role and add features to state-of-the-art lamp drivers.
