ADI LT3420EDD-1#TRPBF

The LT3420/LT3420-1 charge high voltage photoflash capacitors quickly and efficiently. Designed for use in both digital and film cameras, these devices use a flyback topology to achieve efficiencies up to four times better than competing flash modules. A unique adaptive off-time control algorithm maintains current-limited continuous mode transformer operation throughout the entire charge cycle, eliminating the high inrush current often found in modules. The LT3420/LT3420-1 output voltage sensing scheme monitors the flyback voltage to indirectly regulate the output voltage, eliminating an output resistor divider or discrete zener diode. This feature allows the capacitor to be held at a fully charged state without excessive power consumption. Automatic refresh (which can be defeated) allows the capacitor to remain charged while consuming an average input current of about 2mA, at a user-defined refresh rate. A logic high on the CHARGE pin initiates charging, while the DONE pin signals that the capacitor is fully charged.
