Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
Negative 0.5 Volt SupplyThis simple circuit consists of two LEDs and a photo diode.  It generates a negative voltage with a current level of a couple milliamps.  It is ideal for supplying a negative rail to low power “rail to rail” op amp circuits, which need to have a true zero volts output.  Note:  This circuit is not particularly efficient . . .

Voltage Converters-0.5 to 6 VoltsConventional silicon transistors just can't operate at voltages less than about 0.7v.  Old germanium transistors could be used, but those are hard to find these days and most are rather large in size.  Some new n-channel MOSFET devices with very. . .

Output Adjustable Flyback Converter -  A high voltage step-up DC power supply using adjustable flyback conversion.   __ Designed by Simon Oh

Powerlabs Flyback Driver -  This is by far the best project for someone who is already familiar with High Voltage, but wants to take their experiments to the next level: It requires very little previous experience and skills with soldering and identifying components, and there are virtually no adjustments to be made.  The danger is minimal, as fly back transformers are intrinsically low power devices, not capable of outputting lethal currents (due to the hair-thin secondary windings), and yet it will give a careless experimenter a nasty RF burn if he accidentally touches the HV wire (nothing beats learning from your mistakes).  If you have never experimented with HV before though, I recommend you start off with an electrostatic project.  This circuit is not a toy! __ Designed by Sam Barros

Quasiresonant converter uses a Simple Circuit CMOS IC -  04/15/04  EDN-Design Ideas Figure 1 shows a flyback power supply that has low noise and uses a simple CMOS 4093 IC for its control.  The electrical noise of a converter arises mainly when current switches on.  Diode recovery and charging parasitic capacitances__ Circuit Design by Francesc Casanellas, Aiguafreda, Spain

Simple Circuit & Efficient Sub-2W Isolated Power Supply -  The non-synchronous flyback topology is widely used in isolated power supplies ranging from sub watt power levels to tens of watts.  With more green-mode standards emerging around the world, improving light load efficiency and reducing no-load input standby current are more demanding than ever.  Unfortunately, the traditional___ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Min Chen Senior Design Engineer-Power Products Nov 5th 2012

Switch-mode Power Supply for a Tube Car Amplifier -  To minimize heat loss on any transistor, I use two pass FETs.  In the car, input voltage is either 11.5-12.5V (engine off) or 13.5-14.5V (engine on).  In the first case, T1 and T2 are fully ON, no need for heatsink.  In the second case, T1 is OFF, T2 ON, all voltage and power excess __ Contact: klausmobile @ yahoo.Com

Synchronous flyback provides high-efficiency conversion -  07/22/04 EDN-Design Ideas Buck regulators are usually the first choice when you design nonisolated step-down regulators unless the ratio of VIN to VOUT is greater than 10, the input voltage is high, or both.  Low duty cycle can be problematic for FET drivers and cause current-mode control loops to lose control.  Efficiency can fall dramatically to 60 to 70% at low VOUT and current of only a few amps__ Circuit Design by Wayne Rewinkel, National Semiconductor, Phoenix, AZ

The Output adjustable Flyback converter -  A high voltage step-up DC power supply using adjustable flyback conversion.   __ Designed by Simon Inhwan Oh

Your source for cheap n' easy high voltage, the Flyback transformer -  A very simple road to your basic high voltage generator is the transistor driven flyback transformer.  This circuit uses a common flyback transformer (you probably have more than one in your house right now) to boost typical battery voltages up to the multi-kilovolt range.  It will make a several thousand-degree continuous 2 cm plasma arc.  This page is designed to help you get yours working as quickly and painlessly as possible __ Designed by Greg Miller
