I am thinking about my next tube project. This will need some 440 VDC for B+ at 60 mA or so. I found an SSHV2 kit in my parts box (2 boards + parts), sooo... but wait! The SSHV2 is rated to 380 VDC max. output, which is too low for my project. Can I modify the SSHV2 to suit my needs? How?
First you would need a higher voltage rated Q1 like the IXTP01N100D then you should use higher value R9 R10 like 82k. Watch the isolation to main sink be good and better use a sturdy Schottky diode instead of the D3 Zener for faster low threshold clamping.
Thanks! I don't quite understand "use a sturdy Schottky diode instead of the D3 Zener for faster low threshold clamping". I actually don't understand what this diode does, or how the error amp works, so... could you recommend a specific part?
where to buy in Europe the IXTP08N50D2 or IXTP01N100D?
IXTP01N100D mouser.com
IXTP08N100D2 too.

using IXYS MOSFETs in HV application
As you can see in my previous post, IXYS made several depletion mode FETs, but only some practically usable in tube DIY.
High (500...1000V) voltage, low -few hundred mA- current (smaller surface=smaller capacitances), moderate Ciss, extra low Crss and Qg (charging storage).
RDS(on), dissipation (PD) and thermal coefficient (RthJ) are not so important.

Hi Salas,First you would need a higher voltage rated Q1 like the IXTP01N100D then you should use higher value R9 R10 like 82k. Watch the isolation to main sink be good and better use a sturdy Schottky diode instead of the D3 Zener for faster low threshold clamping.
I have a similar request for more than 400V, and don't have IXTP's locally, but what I can find are for example: STP3NB60, BUZ77B (600V) and IRFBG30 (1000V). Can I use some of those?
Thanks
