Fire lighter circuit
Datasheet − production data
Features
• Dedicated thyristor structure for capacitance
discharge ignition operation
• High pulse current capability:
– 240 A at t
p
= 10 µs
• Fast turn-on operation
• Designed for high ambient temperature
(up to 120° C)
Benefits
• Space saving thanks to monolithic function
integration
• High reliability with planar technology
Description
The FLC10 series has been especially developed
for high power capacitance discharge operation.
The main applications are gas lighters or ignitors
such as cookers / gas boilers / gas hobs...
It provides a fully integrated function, with high
performance and reliability levels, adapted to
severe and hot temperature environment.
