The LIC01 has been especially designed for high voltage pulse generation circuits such as light ignitors for :High pressure sodium lampLamp flashing circuitMetal Halid lamp It uses a high performance planar diffused technology device suitable for high surge current operation in rugged environmental conditions. When the voltage across the device reaches the breakover voltage, it decreases from an off-state to low voltage on-state condition. When the current through the circuit drops below the holding current IHthe device comes back to the off-state.
