Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. The capacitor discharge circuit recited in claim 9 wherein the current level sensing circuitry produces a voltage level varying in accordance with the level of current passing through the discharge load during said one portion of each one of the discharge cycles and wherein the discharge circuitry comprises
a voltage sampler, responsive to current level sensing circuitry, for storing a sample of the level of the produced voltage level when such produced voltage level reaches a predetermined voltage level;
a resistor-capacitor network fed by the sampler, the capacitor of the resistor-capacitor network storing the sample of the produced voltage level and then discharging the stored voltage through the resistor of such resistor-capacitor network; and
circuitry for initiating said different portion of each one of the discharge cycles when the voltage discharges to a second predetermined voltage level.
