Yes, the voltage multipliers I referred to are just diodes and capacitors connected in such a way as to convert an AC voltage into a higher DC voltage than you would obtain by just rectifying it. Here's one of Mike Moorrees' designs: The stuff on the left is the basic supply, and the stuff on the right (C4-C10 and D1-D7) is the voltage multiplier. In this design, the multiplier has several stages, to allow getting 180V out from 2V in. I'm guessing you might have 12V in, and wouldn't need as many stages of multiplication. Note that the feedback network would have to be adjusted as well. I'd use an adjustable one like this supply has: - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
