300V emitter follower

Feb 17, 2006 4 Replies

Are there any special design considerations for using a simple Darlington emitter follower to drive a resistive load at 300 1AV?



The signal is a 30Hz (not KHz) sinewave at audio line level.



Given the low frequency, what would be a bombproof transistor to use for the 300V rail?



Regards,



Martin

What 1AV ? How much is that resistive load?

What sense does it make to drive a darlington with a sinewave at audio line level? How much is that anyway? 500mV ?

Thanks, Frank. (remove \'q\' and \'.invalid\' when replying by email)

At those V-I levels, it is worth creating a collector circuit I_V load line upon which you superimpose Pmax and SOA limit curves derived from the transistor datasheet.

What's an AV ? Do you mean a VA ?

What's the load resistance/impedance and the signal amplitude ?

** The question as posted is nonsensical.

Try explaining your need in simple language.

It is obvious that technical terminology is beyond you.
