1-3. ST1 STROBE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. Charging Circuit
When UNREG power is supplied to the charge circuit and the
CHG signal from microprocessor becomes High (3.3 V), the
charging circuit starts operating and the main electorolytic
capacitor is charged with high-voltage direct current.
However, when the CHG signal is Low (0 V), the charging
circuit does not operate.
1-1. Power switch
When the CHG signal switches to Hi, Q5407 turns ON and
the charging circuit starts operating.
1-2. Power supply filter
C5401 constitutes the power supply filter. They smooth out
ripples in the current which accompany the switching of the
oscillation transformer.
1-3. Oscillation circuit
This circuit generates an AC voltage (pulse) in order to increase the UNREG power supply voltage when drops in current occur. This circuit generates a drive pulse with a frequency
of approximately 50-100 kHz. Because self-excited light omission is used, the oscillation frequency changes according to
the drive conditions.
2. Light Emission Circuit
When RDY and TRIG signals are input from the ASIC expansion port, the stroboscope emits light.
2-1. Emission control circuit
When the RDY signal is input to the emission control circuit,
Q5409 switches on and preparation is made to let current
flow to the light emitting element. Moreover, when a STOP
signal is input, the stroboscope stops emitting light.
2-2. Trigger circuit
When a TRIG signal is input to the trigger circuit, D5405
switches on, a high-voltage pulse of several kilovolts is generated inside the trigger circuit, and this pulse is then applied
to the light emitting part.
2-3. Light emitting element
When the high-voltage pulse form the trigger circuit is applied to the light emitting part, currnet flows to the light emitting element and light is emitted.
Beware of electric shocks.
1-4. Oscillation transformer
The low-voltage alternating current which is generated by the
oscillation control circuit is converted to a high-voltage alternating current by the oscillation transformer.
1-5. Rectifier circuit
The high-voltage alternating current which is generated at
the secondary side of T5401 is rectified to produce a highvoltage direct current and is accumulated at electrolytic capacitor C5412.
1-6. Voltage monitoring circuit
This circuit is used to maintain the voltage accumulated at
C5412 at a constance level.
After the charging voltage is divided and converted to a lower
voltage by R5417, R5419 and R5420, it is output to the microprocessor as the monitoring voltage VMONIT. When this
VMONIT voltage reaches a specified level at the microprocessor, the CHG signal is switched to Low and charging is
interrupted.

2. Internal Communication Bus
The SYA block carries out overall control of camera operation by detecting the input from the keyboard and the condition of the
camera circuits. The 8-bit microprocessor reads the signals from each sensor element as input data and outputs this data to the
camera circuits (ASIC) or to the LCD display device as operation mode setting data. Fig. 4-1 shows the internal communication
between the 8-bit microprocessor and ASIC.

4. Power Supply Control
The 8-bit microprocessor controls the power supply for the overall system.
The following is a description of how the power supply is turned on and off. When the battery is attached, IC955 is operating and
creating 3.6 V, a regulated 3.2 V voltage is normally input to the 8-bit microprocessor (IC301) by IC302, clock counting and key
scanning is carried out even when the power switch is turned off, so that the camera can start up again.
When the power switch is off, the 8-bit microprocessor halts 4 MHz of the main clock, and operates 32.768 kHz of subclock.
When the battery is removed, the 8-bit microprocessor power switches the lithum secondary battery for memory backup by
IC302, and operates at low consumption. At this condition, the 8-bit microprocessor halts the main clock, and operates clock
counting by sub clock.
Also, the battery for backup is charged 10 hours from it to be attached.
When the power switch is on, the 8-bit microprocessor starts processing. The 8-bit microprocessor first sets both the PON signal
at pin (32) and the PAON signal at pin (33) to High, and then turn on the power circuit. After PON signal is to High, sets external
port of ASIC after approximately 100 ms. According to setting of this external port, carry out setting of the operating frequency
and oscillation control in the ASIC. Also, it starts communication with ASIC, and confirms the system is operative.
When the through image is operating, set the PAON signal to High and then turn on the CCD. When the through image is playing,
set the PAON signal to Low and then turn off the CCD. When LCD panel turns on, set LCD ON signal at pin (34), LCD ON2 signal
at pin (31) and LCD ON3 signal at pin (36) to High, and then turn on the power. Set LCD BL signal at pin (35) to High, and turn
on the backlight power.
When the power switch is off, the lens will be stowed, and PON, PAON, LCDON and BLON signals to Low and the power supply
to the whole system is halted. The 8-bit microprocessor halts oscillation of the main clock, and set operation mode of clock
ocillation.
