Abstract
Strobe control circuitry combines several approaches to limit in-rush current. One circuit limits initial circuit response to an applied voltage that has been switched from an inactive to an active state. Other circuitry switches from a high input impedance state to a low input impedance state a predetermined period of time after the applied voltage has switched to an active state.
