  • Patent number: 6219493
    Abstract: An electronic flash charger having an electronic flash charging circuit of a separate excitation oscillating. The charger includes: a flyback transformer, having at least a primary coil and a secondly coil; a switching element for turning on or off electric power, to be supplied to the primary coil, based on control signals supplied to a control input terminal; a rectifying diode for rectifying a flyback pulse generated on the secondly coil when the switching element is changed from ON state, that the electric power is turned on, to OFF state, that the electric power is turned off; a main capacitor for charging a current rectified by the rectifying diode; and an oscillation controller for generating control signals for changing at least one of time spans of ON state and OFF state of the switching element in accordance with a period from generation to extinction of the flyback pulse generated on the secondly coil, and for supplying the control signals to the control input terminal of the switching element.
