Hi Keep in mind that the supply in question is likely running in the vicinity of an atomic clock. Things like stray magnetic field are pretty important if that’s the case …. It’s also quite possible that the original supply had some “supply dies not the tube” features built into it. Bob On

Thanks for the reply in all applications the DC DC converter is used for isolation and followed by linear regulators. In critical stages like dual mixer two stages. Bert In a message dated 8/31/2014 11:12:18 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, att...@kinali.ch writes: Hoi Bert, On Sun, 31

I'm trying to built a DC to DC from an existing schematic for a frequency standard I'm working on. The transformer core is identified as an Indiana General F1152-1-6 The Dc to Dc is running at 22Khz and maybe 20 Watts. Can't find any info that would allow me to decide on a proper substitute.

Hi Corby, I have the old data on that Indiana General part: it seems to be O-6 material - 4700 initial perm, 6000 max perm, up to 0.5 MHz, 210 degree C curie point - and F1152-1 is a 36x22 mm ungapped ferramic pot core - AsubL min =11530. If you need more data, I can probably scan the relevant

Rather than start from old design, you might just want to look at the online design tools and matching core selections for simple switcher boost and buck datasheets/app notes, or SG3524 type transformer converters. The major distributors carry inductors in their catalogs that are just to match

Corby, Assuming that what you want to do is find a substitute for the F1152, you should be aware that schematics don't give you enough information to build one from scratch. The easiest thing to do is buy one from a catalog of DC-DC converters with the appropriate voltages and power - unless the

There are actually quite a few makers of what you seek... EMCO H40P will do 3.75 mA at up to 4000V... voltage selected by a 0..5V input. Also check out PPM's offerings... http://www.ppmpower.co.uk/high_voltage_dc_dc_converters/ And UltraVolt's 4AA series:
