This is my first attempt to post a graphic from Pspice. Used Microsoft Word and Irfanview. Have not figured out WinGrab yet.

You didn't say many specifics about your application, yet.

Second Attempt. Using Wingrab and Irfanview. 75000 byte jpg.

I'm having operator error. I give up for now.

You're welcome mwh-eng. I hope it clicks for you and you can get the copying and pasting to work.

I need this inverter for a neon.. From +12V DC to 220V AC@50hz i think..
Some schematic? Some hint for this? Thanx again to all.

ar...a neon...how big izzit?? and u didn't mention ur current needs...if u are running something like a NE-2 or maybe a nixie tube...a MAX1771 will do nicely...but I guess u're gonna use a neon tube...then we have to look at higher currents and of course it has to be AC...or else one side will not light...high frequency will be preferred as it will cause less "flicker"

So a typical push-pull SMPS schematic without the capacitor to have +/- at the end is enough? Since u've said that i need high frequency.. right? Wrong?? Thanx in advance

li_gangyi · 22nd March 2004, 02:56 PM

it would really depends on what tube u're trying to run...if it's a neon requiring a few kV of EMF then u need a different design...

MaXiZ · 22nd March 2004, 05:22 PM

That's my neon.. 220V and 60W of power... That's what's write on the box...

So what do u suggest for make it run on my car?

Are you sure that is a neon..????

Last time I saw a light tube like that, with similar sockets, it was called a "Linestra" tube, made by either Osram or Philips.
That kind of tube was a "glow lamp" type in neon tube disguise.

You would still need 220V to drive it though......
