LIGHT IGNITION CIRCUIT
The LIC01 has been especially designed for high
voltage pulse generation circuits such as light
ignitors for :
. High pressure sodium lamp
. Lamp flashing circuit
. Metal Halid lamp
It uses a high performance planar diffused technol-
ogy device suitable for high surge current opera-
tion in rugged environmental conditions.
When the voltage across the device reaches the
breakover voltage, it decreases from an off state to
low voltage on-state condition. When the current
through the circuit drops below the holding current
I
H
, the device comes back to the off state.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
When the peak voltage across C1 reaches the
break over voltage VBO of the LIC01, this device
turns on and produces a pulse of current through
the primary of the transformer. In turns, the trans-
former generates high voltage pulses across the
lamp.
