Hey Tim, a unity gain 12 to 330 V DC converter :-)

Hey Tim, a unity gain 12 V DC to 330 V DC converter: ftp://panteltje.com/pub/unity_gain_330VDC_generator.gif The blue graph is the value on C4. R5 is there to alow it to start up. Maybe it can be done with one emittor follower with transistors with more beta. C3 R1 and C2 R4 R5 compensate so the round going phase shift is zero. All the 'gain' is from the Q that remains after the loading of L1 C1.

Ha, a unity gain phase shift oscillator, LC RC RC.

Too bad it won't start(?) without R2. That, and the inherent limitation = of a Q-limited circuit, limits power output.

Q has to be high, of course, since it's just a Q multiplier. Switching = current is large, while output voltage is large, which isn't any = different from a flyback, though the magnitudes may be a bit different = (seeing as the current is sinusoidal, not ramped, which probably means a = bit higher RMS current). It is handy that the transistors don't see the = output voltage, so they can saturate nicely.

What's the switching time? I don't have LTSpice to enter the listing = in.

This is measured at the emittor Q1 / Q2. The Vce drops show :-) Would be BAD audio :-) ftp://panteltje.com/pub/unity_gain_330VDC_generator_switching_times.gif You should really get LTspice :-) It is windows, I use it in Linux wine windows emulator.

Maybe you like this spice feature it shows instantaneous power in the transistors: ftp://panteltje.com/pub/unity_gain_330VDC_generator_transistor_power.gif

This shows the current in the collector of Q1: ftp://panteltje.com/pub/unity_gain_330VDC_generator_transistor_current.gif

I think 2N3904 will die :-) We need something bigger, you are right, switching is more efficient ;-)
