Isolated High Voltage Amplifier Idea


Test laboratory of our factory asked me to design an isolated high voltage amplifier. Here are the requirements:



  • The circuit will be built with transistors and passive components in the lab. (No IC usage - because we don't have any and can't buy)

  • The circuit will be supplied from lab power supply (Vs < 40VDC).

  • The input signal will be applied from the function generator (1Vrms sine - frequency may vary between 10kHz and 100kHz).

  • The output will be isolated and have a peak value of 1.5kV.

  • Output power will be 100mW max.



Here's my design on paper:

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab


As you can see, the circuit is a simple Class AB amplifier with inductive load. Since the voltage gain is 10V/V, the voltage across the primary will be 10Vrms, so the output will be 1kVrms = 1.5kVpk.


Is there any problem with this circuit? What can you suggest?

arduino - Can I use TI&#39;s cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
