Abstract: The present invention relates to a discharge lamp lighting apparatus which can prevent an increase of loss and a rise of temperature in the area where discharge lamp tube voltage is low. The power conversion circuit 1 converts the input power Pin to output the DC power Pd. The discharge lamp driving circuit 5 converts the DC power Pd supplied from the power conversion circuit 1 to output AC voltage Vo and AC current Io. The controller 2 provides constant power control for maintaining the AC power Po provided by the AC voltage Vo and AC current Io to be constant when the AC voltage Vo is higher than the predetermined value V1, and provides power reduction control for reducing AC power Po to the power conversion circuit 1 when the AC voltage Vo is lower than the predetermined value V1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a discharge lamp lighting apparatus in which overshoot occurring when the polarity of AC rectangular wave voltage/current is inverted is suppressed. An inverter converts DC power supplied by a converter to AC rectangular wave power and outputs the AC rectangular wave power. A power calculation unit generates a power detection signal based upon a voltage detection signal and a current detection signal detected on the output side of the converter. A control target value setting unit outputs an output power command value to be used to control the DC power so as to achieve a target value. A correction signal generation unit outputs a correction signal to be used to correct the output power command value in conformance to the power detection signal in synchronization with a polarity inversion of the AC rectangular wave power.
