Strobe input definition via register 07h AS1170 can be activated with an input via pin STROBE or via I2C command by setting OUT_ON = “1” Reg 07h, bit 6: “Strobe type” • Default setting → level sensitive: AS1170 is reacting on rising and falling edge of the strobe signal as long the strobe pulse is shorter than the flash timeout timer •...

Current setting & Flash timeout timer calculation Default Register Address = 0x10 Single Flash: Mode setting: mode_setting “11” / auto_strobe = 0 After a flash is triggered register bits “mode_setting” and “out_on” are reset to “0”. Hence to retrigger a new flash using Strobe pin, an I2C command is required to set the mode_setting[1:0] = 3 and out_on=1.
