CCA 4100 Flasher/Oscillator
LED FLASHER
IC-Layout
FEATURES
?? LED-Flash-Light driver IC
?? very long operation time with only one 1.5V battery
cell
?? minimum external devices (capacitor)
?? large operating range from 1 to 5V
?? average current drain under 500µA (over battery
live cycle)
?? wide temperature range
?? low cost
?? fully function compatible to LM3909
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CCA4100 is an insensitive and easy to use IC to flash
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). For operating it only needs an
external capacitor and a standard 1,5V battery cell.
The circuite is self starting and includes internal timing
resistors and a resistor to limit LED current. The device is
optimised for minimal power drain at 1,5V and 3V at nominal
flashing rates.
Typical Applications are toys, advertising gimmicks or novelties
but also applications with necessity to locate something in the
dark as fishing floats, fire alarms and fire extinguishers or
emergency switches and exits.
The circuit could also be used for electronic applications as
triggers and saw tooth generators.
