Abstract

See full text

A voltage converter is coupled to an input voltage for boosting the voltage to a much higher level so as to take advantage of smaller capacitors due to the quadratic energy equation ½*CV̂2. The voltage converter has at least one boost converter having an inductive element coupled to the input voltage. A high voltage storage element is coupled to the inductive element. A switching circuit of the at least one boost converter transfers stored electrical energy in the inductive element to said storage element. The switching circuit allows for the combining of the stored electric energy of the storage element with the input voltage to illuminate a flash element, or provide an increased amount of current temporarily to the input for applications such as last gasp.
