A8425 Datasheet High Current Photoflash Capacitor Charger

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

The A8425 charges photoflash capacitors for digital cameras, camcorders, and DSC combos.

An integrated 55 V DMOS switch drives the transformer in a flyback topology optimized for 2-cell Li+ battery input.

An integrated IGBT driver with separate source and sink pins allows high performance red-eye reduction implementation.
