Re: [neonixie-l] What is this HV gadget?

2020-06-24 Thread Ice cruncher
With a single probe. My best guess just an oudin coil

Used often times on argon, krypton and HeNe lasers. If tube lights up it is 
still gas intact otherwise it’s open to air

 But that is a guess

Bingo. It's a bit shabbier than the much more expensive handheld Tesla coil we 
used in neon school but the price is hard to beat. Ordered.

I assume it's high-voltage+high-frequency intended to ionize gas in a tube 
being tested for leaks.
More convenient than lugging your plasma globe around at swap meets, etc.

 What is the voltage rating of the 47k resistor? What are the voltage

 is the saturation current of the transformer?

Re: [neonixie-l] HELP WITH DC-DC BOOSTER CONVERTER

2020-06-24 Thread Kevin A.
sanchez,

have a look at these articles by rohm semiconductor on DC-DC converter
layout: https://techweb.rohm.com/knowledge/dcdc/dcdc_pwm/dcdc_pwm03/2734

this is quite a handy guide on how to optimize the layout of your board.

since you are also using an LT part, I would also highly recommend using
LTspice (free design and simulation software from LT) to model the LT1308A
on your computer and do simulations with different resistors, capacitors,
transformers, etc...

https://www.analog.com/en/products/lt1308a.html#product-documentation

if you use these design tools you can save yourself a lot of
troubleshooting and frustration

 "Yes!  I would try that, the thing is that if I put those values, Ill get 350V 
1,2mA as the datasheet says.
That´s why I made this calculations :

You need to look at the current in the FB loop. The datasheet values give a 
feedback current around 35uA, so for 170v  and FB i of 35uA, you're looking at 
something around 5M for R1

Re: [neonixie-l] HELP WITH DC-DC BOOSTER CONVERTER

2020-06-24 Thread Kevin A.
So if you really want to make this project work, then it's probably best
you start with a fresh layout. The PCB layout that you started with needs a
lot of work.

Believe me, I made the same mistakes when I first started designing high
voltage power supplies. Take a look this article I wrote which describes
how I learned about and designed a high voltage boost converter:
https://neonkev.com/2019/08/18/project-20-watt-high-voltage-boost-converter/

Your design is a flyback converter, but a lot of the same pcb design still
applies. I'll also find some of the articles I read which really helped
with my design.

Once we have a good layout, then we can work on picking the right values
for the feedback resistors and choosing all the other components. There is
a bit of a learning curve but be patient, read carefully and learn, and you
will make a working design soon enough!

Hello! 

Yes!  I would try that, the thing is that if I put those values, Ill get 
350V 1,2mA as the datasheet says.

That´s why I made this calculations :

If I want to get a Vout of 180V for supply a Nixie tube, I need to put a R1 
=47K and R2 = 300. that`s Why I putted those!

Re: [neonixie-l] HELP WITH DC-DC BOOSTER CONVERTER

2020-06-24 Thread Paul Andrews
Read the layout recommendations in the LT1308A datasheet. You will need to 
adapt it to this configuration.

What is the voltage rating of the 47k resistor? What are the voltage 
ratings of the 10nF capacitors? What is the voltage rating of BAV21W? What 
is the saturation current of the transformer?

Hello! Thanks for the response! 

I add here again the PCB layers that Im using.
