Hello all,
(I'm new here so I apologize in advance for any mistakes)
I recently obtained a flash charger from a camera, and I'm looking to decrease its charging time. I have a general understanding of how the oscillator and transformer physically function, however I haven't ever worked with them in this type of circuit. Thus I have a couple questions regarding the charge time.
1. How would an increased supply voltage affect the charge time? I figure the oscillator would need to be modified to run off a higher voltage, but how would the transformer react?
2. What effect would changing the transformer have? I actually wouldn't opt to do anything with the transformer at this time but I'm curious.
Any input on going about doing this is gladly welcome.
