Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :

Xenon Flash Transmitter  -  This line powered xenon flash circuit drives a small camera type flash tube.  It has an optical isolator to allow the flash to be safely triggered from some remote device.  A flash rate of 2Hz is possible with the circuit . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.,  06/09/00]


Xenon Lamp Flash Detector  -  This circuit uses a small 2.5mm square photo diode in conjunction with a 100mH coil to detect the short light flashes from a xenon lamp.  The coil makes the circuit immune to normal room lights.  Its 10mv sensitivity can detect light flashes from a range . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  02/15/02]


Xenon Lamp Flash Detector Amplifier  -  This circuit has a very low standby current requirement yet has very high sensitivity toward the light flashes from a xenon lamp.  When connected to a flip/flop it can serve as an on on/off Controller . . . [Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.,  12/14/04]


Xenon Photoflash Controller  -  This 9v battery powered circuit is designed for remote control flash needs. A charge control circuit turns off the high voltage generator when the photoflash capacitor is fully charged. A neon lamp is included to indicate when the system is ready to flash . . .

Spare flip-flop stretches WR strobe for DSP -  07/20/95 EDN-Design Ideas....A 74LS592 programmable counter (not available in high-speed F or ACT versions) is a convenient IC to use in DSP applications, such as in an ADSP-2101 design running at 10 MHz. However, a close inspection of the counter's worst-case timing specifications and the WR strobe width reveals that the 74LS592 fails.... [Design Idea by Dhananjay Gadre, IUCAA Instrumentation Lab, Pune, India]
Strobe Controller -  simple controller for professional stroboscopes, adjust the flash rate in1..15 Hz range (added 5/02)
Strobe from Flash -  After using a disposable camera, you can build a strobe light (flashing light) with one simple modification. (6/02/2006)
Strobe Light -  Designed as a companion to the LX100%, can also be used by itself… [Rod Elliott (ESP)]
Strobe Light -  Disco anyone? Actually, this strobe serves a much more useful purpose then making it look cool when you dance in the dark. You can use it to view fast moving objects, look for craks in PC boards (hold the strobe on the trace side of the board and look from the component side), and it is a great attention getter in a store window.... [Designed by Aaron Cake]
Strobe Light (Randy Linscott) -  The way that this circuit works is as follows. The AC line voltage is rectified by D1 and D2 which connects to a voltage doubler circuit made up of the two 22uf capacitors. The Flash Freq. Pot and the 10uf capacitor charge up which triggers the Diac and causes the triac to turn on.  This allows the trigger transformer T1 to send a very High Voltage....

Everyone has seen a disposable flash camera….
Xenon Strobe Light -  A xenon flash tube is a triggered gas discharge device. A voltage may be impressed across the tube and it will not conduct until the xenon gas is ionised by an external high voltage (typically 3 to 5kV). Once triggered, the gas becomes a very low impedance, and discharges the storage capacitors in about 1ms (this varies considerably, but this figure is fine for basic calculations) [Rod Elliott (ESP)]

You can use it to view fast moving objects, look for craks in PC boards (hold the strobe on the trace side of the board and look from the component side), and it is a great attention getter in a store window.
