DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LT®3585 series are highly integrated ICs designed to
charge photoflash capacitors in digital and film cameras.
A new control technique allows for the use of extremely
small transformers. Each part contains an on-chip high
voltage NPN power switch. Output voltage detection is
completely contained within the part, eliminating the need
for any discrete zener diodes or resistors. The output volt-
age can be adjusted by simply changing the turns ratio
of the transformer.

The CHRG/IADJ pin gives full control of the part to the
user. Driving CHRG/IADJ low puts the part in low power
shutdown. The CHRG/IADJ pin can also be used to reduce
theinputcurrentofthecharger,usefulinextendingbattery
life. The DONE pin indicates when the part has completed
charging.
