Here's an interesting puzzle for you. I have this LED flasher as part of a larger design. It is flashing a series string of 8 high intensity LEDs on a bicycle trailer. Some design requirements:
- Must self-start, and not lock up.
- Must tolerate a 50V supply, 24V being nominal.
It's already committed to a PC board, but I found a way to get close to the desired behavior without adding additional components. Maybe someone has a better idea?
p.s. Don't worry about the flash rate or brightness for now.
