Emergency Strobe Flasher Generates 250V:  08/05/99 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 8/05) Figure 1 shows a complete circuit for an emergency lamp that operates from a 12V automotive battery. The xenon flash tube requires a 250V-dc anode voltage and a 4-kV trigger pulse. To generate the 250V dc, IC1, a switching regulator controller, and T1, a standard Versa-PAC transformer, operate in the ....

Flash Slave Trigger:  Flash slaves are used when you need to supplement1-flash unit with1-or several more. This slave trigger simply triggers those other units. It does this by "seeing" the first flash (using a phototransistor) and triggering the other flashes a few microseconds later. The sensitivity of the circuit is adjustable to compensate for ambient light or dimmer than usual master flashes. (added 5/02)

Hacking the Kodak Max Single Flash Camera into a Self Repeating Strobe:  this approach is recommended mainly for homebrewing a strobe that is powered by a single1.5 volt battery. If you can use a higher supply voltage, there are better ways to do this. (added 4/02)

Luxeon for Camera Phone Flash PDA and DSC Applications:  This reference design outlines the key considerations in the construction of a solid state, high performance flash solution utilizing Luxeon LED technology. This design integrates Lumileds’ high power Luxeon Emitters product with a cost effective lens solution to provide the necessary light output and illumination pattern suited to digital still camera (DSC) and mobile phone camera flash applications. applications.  (added 6/06)
