nesslersreagent 0 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi,I've designed a circuit to produce a high voltage, high frequency sine wave from a low voltage square, produced by a microcontroller(Stellaris Launchpad). I've used a simple LC oscillator as a voltage magnifier.Voltage input to LC circuit = 3.3v (peak to peak)Voltage out = 54.42v (peak to peak)Resonance frequency = 355kHzThe voltage generator produces a square wave Vmax=3.3v, Vmin=0v, with an internal resistance of 20k ohms at a frequency of 355kHz. Duty cycle is 50%. to simulate the microcontrollers output pin.The buffer IC used, is the LMH6321.Is this circuit effective? Are there any modifications or improvements to it? Any alternative circuits? Also, will the current circuit be safe to interface to the microcontroller (no chances of over heating or short circuiting)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubnet 238 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 For peace of mind you could insert an optocoupler between the CPU and the amplifier/shaping circuit. This way if there is a fault the damage would be limited to just your output section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
