The applications ofthe lighterusing the
capacitance discharge topology operate in 2
phases:
PHASE1
The energy coming from the mains is stored into
thecapacitorC.Forthat,the AC voltageis rectified
bythe diode Ds.
PHASE2
At the end of the phase 1, the voltage across the
capacitorCreachestheavalanchethresholdofthe
zener.Thena currentflowsthroughthegate of the
thyristorTh which fires.
The firing of the thyristor causes an alternating
currentto flowthroughthe capacitorC.

RS RESISTORCALCULATION
The Rs resistor allows, in addition with the
capacitor C, to adjust the spark frequency and to
limitate the current fromthe mains. Its value shall
allow thethyristorTh to fireevenin theworstcase.
Inthisborderlinecase thesystemmustfirewiththe
lower RMS mains voltage value while the
breakdown voltage and current of the FLC are at
the maximum.
