Sensor
The applications of the FLC02 using the capacitance discharge topology operate in 2 modes :
- Ignition mode : Transistor T is OFF
- Blanking mode : Transistor T is ON
1) IGNITION MODE (Transistor TOFF)
PHASE 1:
The energy coming from the mains is stored into
the capacitorC. For that, the AC voltage is rectified
by the diode Ds.
PHASE 2 :
At the end of the phase 1, the voltage across the
capacitor C reaches the avalanche threshold of
the zener. Then a current flows through the gate of
the thyristor Th which fires.
The firing of the thyristor causes an alternating current to flow through the capacitor C.
The positive parts of this current flow through C, Th
and the primary of the HV transformer.
The negativeparts of the current flow through C, D
and the primary of the HV transformer.

RS RESISTOR CALCULATION
The Rs resistor allows, in addition with the capacitor C, to adjust the spark frequency and to limitate
the current from the mains. Its value shall allow
the thyristor Th to fire even in the worst case. In
this borderline case the system must fire with the
lower RMS mains voltage value while the breakdown voltage and current of the FLC are at the
maximum.
The maximum Rs value is equal to :

PEAK CURRENT LIMIT
This compo nen t is des ig ne d to wit h st and
Ip = 150A for a pulse duration of 10µs for an ambient temperature of 90°C.
The curve of peak current versus the pulse duration allows us to verify if the application is within the
FLC operating limit.

POWER LOSSES (For 10µs, see note 1)
To evaluate the power losses, please use the following equations :
For the thyristor : P = 1.18 x IT(AV) + 0.035 I2T(RMS)
For the diode : P = 0.67 x IF(AV) + 0.106 I2F(RMS)
2/ BLANKING MODE (Transistor TON)
In this mode and transistor T is saturated and stops
the spark generation.
In order to keep the thyristor Th in blanking mode
and because of the power dissipation, the Resistor
(Rs) has to keep a minimum value of 22 kΩ (see
next curve) :
