High Voltage Breakdown Tester - (Not for beginners!) The following circuit is used to determine the breakdown voltage of electronic components without causing permanent damage. The circuit quickly ramps the high voltage up from zero and stops when the leakage current reaches a preset amount up to 100 uA. When power is applied the two-transistor flasher circuit drives the complimentary-symmetry output stage with a square pulse at about 3 or 4 kHz (set by the 0.02 uF capacitor). The output stage is connected to the speaker winding of an audio transformer from an old tube radio and the transformer steps the voltage up to about 250 VRMS . __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.

High Voltage Generator for Low Current Applications - Scroll to this one -- Here is a simple circuit for generating over 100 volts from a 12 volt source for powering low current devices and experiments. The two transistors may be 2N4401 and 2N4403 or similar for lower power applications or higher power devices for heavier loads. If more power is desired then lower the two 10 ohm emitter resistors to 3.3 ohms. When driving power transistors, more drive may be achieved by adding two more gates and resistors in parallel with the two output gates shown. Notice that the two driver gates are simply in parallel with 220 ohm current limit resistors in series with their outputs. __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.
High-current supply uses standard three-terminal regulator - 07/22/04 EDN-Design Ideas Voltage-regulator design for high output currents can be a critical and difficult task. Although voltage regulators with 1A maximum output current are simple to design, thanks to 78xx three-terminal voltage regulators, at output currents higher than 1A output, problems arise.

Hot-swap structure offers improved redundancy - 01/09/03 EDN-Design Ideas For redundancy purposes, a number of power supplies, using ORing diodes, can work into the same load. During maintenance, when you can remove any power supply, the minimum possible power perturbation at the load is desirable. To compensate for the voltage drop across the ORing diodes, you must connect the power-supply feedback lines after the diodes, at the load__ Circuit Design by Samuel Kerem, Corvus Corp, Columbia, MD
How to Design a Simple Circuit Isolated Flyback Converter-LT3573 - Isolated power supplies are needed in a wide variety of applications. Galvanic isolation is achieved by isolating two or more circuits using a transformer or optocoupler, and is desirable for many reasons: safety, noise immunity, circuit protection, etc. Traditionally, isolated power supplies use an optocoupler to transfer___ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mike Negrete-Design Engineer-Power Products Mar 15th 2009
