     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , the block diagram of a VAM power device includes, Active Power Factor Corrector, APFC  100 , high frequency power source circuit  200 , High Frequency Transformer  300 , CCFL or EEFL lamps group  400 , Protector Circuit  500 , impulse width control  600 , DC power source  700 , Output/Input Interface Equipment  800 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 2 , an embodiment of APFC circuit,  100 , of this Invention. An Electro-Magnetic Interference Filter, EMIF, is connected to AC source, the IC 1  is an APFC IC, and pin  1 , P, is a voltage feedback. The rating of the feedback voltage is different by different IC. For example, the feedback voltage of TDA4862 is 2.5V. When the output voltage, DC V, is fixed, the rating of RA is decreased, the voltage of P is increased, and thus the DC V is decreased. To approach the purpose, a RB and a Photo Coupler Ph 1  is applied in this embodiment. RB and output part of Ph 1  is connected in serial and paralleled to RA. When switch S 1  is switched to 1, the LED part of Ph 1  is most lit when the Vin is a high voltage, therefore; the equipotent resistance of RA and RB is lowest, and the voltage of DC V is lowest. Conversely when the Vin is a low voltage, the voltage of Vin is highest. The Vin and DC V is an inverse ratio. When S 1  is switched to 2, the LED part of Ph 2  is most lit when the Vin is a high voltage, therefore; the equipotent resistance of RC and RD is lowest, and the voltage of DC V is highest. Conversely when the Vin is a low voltage, the voltage of Vin is lowest. The Vin and DC V is a direct proportion. Thus, the input characteristic of Ph 1  and Ph 2  is an important coefficient of the range of Vin. The range of Vin can be wide and digital controllable with combination of R 1  and R 2 .

     As shown in  FIG. 6 , is an embodiment example of VAM power system. Physically it is the same structure as  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 4 , and  FIG. 5  except symbols. The only difference is that the connection  11  and  12  of the fourth secondary winding of the high frequency transformer  300  is an independent power source. The purpose of the circuit is to give a stable voltage output to DC voltage output of the second secondary winding of high frequency transformer  300 . When the V 1  is low, the LED part of IC 6  is not lit, the MOSFET M 3  is on, and a setting voltage can be measured at V 1 . If the V 1  is greater than setting, the M 3  is off, and the V 1  is lower, therefore, V 1  is a very stable voltage output. IC 3  is a Programmable Precision References IC. R 5  is an over current detection resistor. The I/O Interface  800  includes 5V DC voltage output, connection  1 ,  2 , and  3 ; 12V DC voltage output connection  9 ; ground connection  4 ,  5 ,  6 , and  10 ; the input connection, connection  7  is a lamination dimming control signal input, usually from 0 to 4.5VDC or 0 to 5VDC depended on system. 
     As shown in  FIG. 7 , is an embodiment example of VAM power system.

The first secondary winding, connection  3 ,  4 , and the second secondary winding connection  5 ,  6 , and  7 , belong to a same high frequency transformer  300 , therefore; the second secondary winding reacts the RMS voltage of the first secondary winding. The other function is as same as pervious embodiment examples. The control logic can be negative or positive logic control depended on the requirement and the characteristics of the CCFL or EEFL lamps group and, but should not be limited to this embodiment. 
     As shown in  FIG. 8 , is an embodiment example of VAM power system. The DC voltage output of the second secondary winding of high frequency transformer  300 , connection  5 ,  6 , and  7 , is controlled by a reference voltage control variable resistor, VR 3 , of Programmable Precision References IC, IC  3 . When the V 1  is smaller than setting voltage, Ph 1  gets a positive voltage, therefore, the DC voltage output of the APFC  100  gains, V 1  gains to setting voltage as well. The third secondary winding of high frequency transformer  300 , connection  8 ,  9 , and  10 , supplies V 2  to load as well. The other function is as same as pervious embodiment examples. 
     As shown in  FIG. 9 , is an embodiment example of VAM power system.  FIG. 9  (A) is the combination of the two sets of MOSFET in the  FIG. 6 ,  FIG. 7 , and  FIG. 8  so as to gain the output of the high frequency power source circuit  200 . The purpose is to diffuse the heat dissipation and to reduce the thickness within same output. There is only one driver IC, IC 2 , applied in circuit to synchronize the two sets of MOSFET.

That is, the high frequency power source circuit can be s self oscillating full bridge driver and, but should not be limited to this embodiment. The MOSFET can be replaced with IGBT or other power transistor device and, but should not be limited to this embodiment. 
     As shown in  FIG. 10 , is an embodiment of impulse width control circuit. The outputs, the connection  5  and  7 , of the PFMIC respectively send pulses to the Gate Terminals of M 1  and M 2 .

The Sawtooth Generator can be other sawtooth generator IC, but should not be limited to this embodiment. The output of DC Summing Amplifier IC, IC  8 , and DC voltage is connected to the negative input of the IC  9 . The voltages of positive input of IC  8  come from DC voltage and External Control Voltage, EV. The negative input of the IC  9  is a DC voltage; the positive input of IC  9  is sawtooth wave; therefore, a pulse is generated at the output of IC 9 , Q, and the frequency of it is controlled by VR 4 . The output of the IC 9 , Q, is connected to input part of Ph 7  and Ph 8 ; the output part of Ph 7  and Ph 8  is connected to Gates of M 1  and M 2 . When the negative input of the IC 9  is large, the pulse width is narrow; therefore, the output of the high frequency transformer  300  is enlarged. Contrariwise, the output of the high frequency transformer  300  is lessened. To approach the brightness control or CCFL or EEFL lamps group, the same function IC can be applied to replace this circuit and, but should not be limited. The impulse width control circuit can be applied on the brightness control of other discharge lamps, such as High Pressure Sodium Lamp, HID Lamp, and etc. lamps.

     As shown in  FIG. 14 , is an embodiment of DC power source circuit. The Programmable Precision References IC is replaced by IC  10 , OP Amp, in  FIG. 5  of DC power source circuit  700 . When the positive input voltage is greater than negative input voltage, a positive is sent to the LED part of the photo coupler Ph 6 , the MOSFET M 3  is off. V 1  is low down to setting voltage. When the positive input voltage is smaller than negative input voltage, the LED part of the photo coupler Ph 6  is off, the MOSFET M 3  is on. V 1  gains to setting voltage. The on/off cycles keep the V 1  in stable setting output. A negative logic can be applied on this embodiment and, but should not be limited to this embodiment. 
     As shown in  FIG. 15  (A), is an embodiment of DC power source circuit. The photo coupler Ph 6  is replaced by a PNP transistor T 2  in  FIG. 5  of DC power source circuit  700 . When the source voltage of the MOSFET M 3  is higher than the setting voltage, V 1 , the IC 3  is on, T 2  is on, the gate voltage of M 3  is low, M 3  is off; the source voltage of the M 3  is low to V 1 . When the source voltage of M 3  is lower than V 1 , T 2  is off, M 3  is on; the source voltage of M 3  is high to V 1 . Due to the above movement, the V 1  is a stable output. As shown in  FIG. 15  (B), is an embodiment of DC power source circuit. The photo coupler Ph 6  is replaced by a NPN transistor T 3  in  FIG. 14  of DC power source circuit  700 . The coupling way is a direct coupling which is different from photo coupling of  FIG. 14 . As shown in  FIG. 5(C) , is an embodiment of DC power source circuit. When the source voltage of M 3  is higher than setting voltage V 1 , the voltage between RE and RI is higher than Zener voltage of ZD 5  and the base-emitter voltage of T 4 , the T 4  is on, M 3  is off. When the source voltage of M 3  is lower than setting voltage V 1 , the M 3  is on. Due to the above movement, the V 1  is a stable output. 
     As shown in  FIG. 16  (A), is an embodiment of DC power source circuit. When the connection  8  of the secondary winding of the high frequency transformer  300  in positive half wave, the positive voltage passing through a limiting current resistor R 8 . Then the positive voltage passing through diode D 1  to the LED of Ph 9  to turn on the LED; the RH connected to the positive and the negative of the connection  11  and  12  of the secondary winding of the high frequency transformer  300  is short; The Gate of Power MOSFETs M 5  is not positive voltage, thus the Power MOSFETs M 5  is off. It means the Gate of the Power MOSFETs M 4  is positive voltage, and the M 4  is on. The MOSFET M 5  is off; the MOSFET M 4  is on. M 4  and M 5  have the characteristic of unidirectional; therefore, the circuit has rectifier function. When the junction B gets a rectified voltage, the V 2  gets a DC voltage after flows through a π filter circuit composed by C 3 , L 1 , and C 4 . The center junction of RE and RI is connected to Reference of the Programmable Precision References IC, IC 3 , the other two junctions are connected to V 2 . When the V 2  is greater than setting voltage, the IC 3  is on, both M 4  and M 5  is off, the rectifying stops, the V 2  is lower. When V 2  goes low enough to turn the IC 3  off, the M 4  and M 5  execute the rectifying function again, the V2 voltage is greater than it was. The M 4  and M 5  have the function of rectifying and regulation. The voltage of B junction could be higher than 8 and 10 connection of high frequency transformer  300  any time, to avoid this; a Protect opposite current detection circuit is applied in this invention. When the positive input of IC 11  is greater than the negative one, the LED part of Ph 12  is lit, the output of Ph 12  is on, the power source is cut off, the emitter of the T 4  is a zero voltage output, M 4  and M 5  cut off; therefore, no reversing voltage occurs on high frequency transformer  300 . The D 3  and D 4  are diodes; they are set to give the instant voltage comes from connection  8  and  10  to the negative input of IC 11 . RL and RM are for setting voltage of positive input of IC 11 . The RN and RP are for setting voltage of negative input of IC  11 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 16  (B), is an embodiment of DC power source circuit with self starting function. When the positive half wave occurs on connection  8  of high frequency transformer  300 , the sum of Zener voltage of DZ 7 , the forward bias voltage of D 1 , and the forward bias voltage of LED part of Ph 9  has to be greater than voltage of junction B; then the circuit has the function of protect opposite current. If the voltage is greater than voltage of junction B, the LED part of Ph 9  is lit, the output of the Ph 9  is on, the positive voltage comes from connection  11  and  12  is on RH, M 4  is on, the positive half wave voltage goes through M 4  to the π filter composed by C 3 , L 1 , and C 4 ; then it becomes to output voltage V 2 . When the positive half wave occurs on connection  10  of high frequency transformer  300 , the execution is the same as the above. Both positive half wave of 8 and 10 are connected to junction B, thus is a full-wave rectifier. IC 3 , Programmable Precision References IC, is on, the output of the Ph 6  is on, the gates of M 4  and M 5  is shorten, the V 2  is lower than it was; when V 2  drops until the IC 3  is off, the M 4  and M 5  executes rectifying, the V 2  is higher than it was. Instead of the Protect opposite current detection circuit, DZ 7  and DZ 8  can be removed out of the circuit. The M 4  and M 5  has characteristic of bidirectional; therefore, the Drain and source can be switch from each other and, but should not be limited to this embodiment, the gate circuit stays the same. 
     As shown in  FIG. 16(C) , is an embodiment of DC power source circuit with self starting function. When the positive half wave occurs on connection  8  of high frequency transformer  300 , the sum of Zener voltage of DZ 7 , the forward bias voltage of D 1 , and the base voltage of T 5  has to be greater than voltage of junction B; then the circuit has the function of protect opposite current. If the voltage is greater than voltage of junction B, T 5  is on, the positive voltage comes from connection  11  and  12  is on RH, M 4  is on, the positive half wave voltage goes through M 4  to the π filter composed by C 3 , L 1 , and C 4 ; then it becomes to output voltage V 2 . When the positive half wave occurs on connection  10  of high frequency transformer  300 , the execution is the same as the above. Both positive half wave of 8 and 10 are connected to junction B, thus is a full-wave rectifier. IC 3 , Programmable Precision References IC, is on, the output of the Ph 6  is on, the gates of M 4  and M 5  is shorten, the V 2  is lower than it was; when V 2  drops until the IC 3  is off, the M 4  and M 5  executes rectifying, the V 2  is higher than it was. The Power MOSFETs M 4  and M 5  have the function of rectifying and regulation. The sources of the MOSFETs are connected to the AC terminal in this circuit. 
     As shown in  FIG. 16  (D), is an embodiment of DC power source circuit with self starting function. The Ph 6  in  FIG. 16  (C) is replaced with Zener Diode ZD 5  and the PNP transistor T 4 . When the V 2  is greater than the setting voltage, the IC 3 , Programmable Precision References IC works, the base of T 4  is low voltage, the T 4  is off, the gates of M 4  and M 5  are grounded; M 4  and M 5  stop rectifying, the V 2  is dropped. When V 2  is dropped to turn the IC  3  off, the M 4  and M 5  start rectifying; V 2  rises. The Power MOSFETs M 4  and M 5  have the function of rectifying and regulation. The M 4  and M 5  has characteristic of bidirectional. The sources of the MOSFETs are connected to the AC terminal in this circuit.

The Zener Voltage of ZD 7  and ZD 8  have to be equal or greater than DC output to prevent the opposite current and energy wasting. The Protect opposite current circuit of  FIG. 16  (C) is same function as above. The M 4  and M 5  in  FIGS. 16  (A), (B), (C), and (D) can be a rectifier and has the characteristic of low losses and substitutes rectifier Diodes. Ensemble with  FIG. 5  and the DC power source  700  in  FIG. 14  is a very practical application for industry. 
     As shown in  FIG. 17 , is an embodiment of DC power source circuit. This circuit is composed by  FIG. 4 ,  FIG. 8 , and  FIG. 16 . The frequency of IC 2  is related to RF and CF. When self oscillating half bridge driver IC 2  working, the secondary winding  5 ,  6 , and  7  generates a high frequency voltage, after full wave rectifying and filtering, a setting voltage is got from the center junction of RE and RI. When the setting voltage is greater than 2.5V, Programmable Precision References IC 3  is on, LED part of Ph 6  is lit, the sum of RJ and RK is drop, the oscillating frequency is higher, the output voltage of secondary winding of high frequency transformer  300  is lower, the DC voltage output voltage is lower. When the DC voltage output is lower than setting voltage, the oscillating frequency of the IC 3  is lower, the DC voltage output is greater; therefore, the DC voltage output becomes stable. The secondary winding  8 ,  9 , and  10 ; secondary winding  5 ,  6 , and  7  belong to same high frequency transformer  300 ; therefore, the DC voltage output of secondary winding  8 ,  9 , and  10  is affected by DC voltage output of secondary winding  5 ,  6 , and  7 ; this circuit gets stable DC voltage output and against the affection of impulse width control circuit  600 . The control logic of this circuit can be positive and negative logic depended on application and L C harmonic curve and, but should not be limited. 
     This Invention is a power source device with VAM control method; an APFC circuit which the DC voltage output is controlled by positive and negative logic control, by controlling the amplitude of the high frequency power source circuit to achieve the brightness control of CCFL or EEFL lamps group; a impulse width control circuit to achieve brightness control of CCFL or EEFL lamps group; simultaneously get a high frequency output, multiple sets of stable DC voltage output from secondary winding; function of protect circuit includes open-circuited of discharge lamp, over current, over voltage.
