ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a voltage regulator for a power supply for load devices such as electronic photoflash units. The voltage regulator supplies power to charge the main capacitor of the photoflash unit to an appropriate voltage, and uses a semiconductor series regulator circuit. The voltage regulator provides medium-to-long term heat integration to terminate power supplied to the electronic flash unit in the event of a thermal overload in order to protect the electronic flash unit. The circuit includes a ready indicator to indicate when the main capacitor of the flash unit has reached the appropriate charge, and also includes an overload indicator to indicate an overload condition.
