Appeal No. 95-3876 Application 08/222,009 The flash control circuitry, which is located within the flash unit, includes a power source 1, a constant voltage generating circuit 2, a trigger circuit 3, a control circuit 4, a flash firing control circuit 5, and a voltage doubling circuit 6. The flash tube Xe is connected between the high voltage terminal HV and the collector terminal VC of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), which is controlled by flash fire control circuit 5. That circuit is responsive to a trigger signal TRIGL and a flash termination signal STOPL (labeled as - 3 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
