Four transistor/full bridge version of the Royer oscillator
For some time now, I have been trying to figure out what (in theory) would be the most efficient way transfer power across a transformer. Applications include high voltage power supplies and induction ...

Can a Cockcroft–Walton generator exhibit resonant rise?
I set up what I believe to be a working royer converter, however I did modify it to use a pair of op amps rather than transistors (see below.)
Anyway, instead of hooking the secondary to an lc tank, ...

Is it possible to build a inverter that operates at a frequency set by an LC tank using ONLY that LC tank and transistors?
I was always dissatisfied with inverters because it seems like an LC tank and transistors would be all you need. However, after much time spent simulating and a few false positives experimenting, I am ...

Electronic Drivers for Fluorescent Lamps: How is the DC-to-AC Conversion done?
Pretty much all (somewhat inaccurately named) electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps run off a DC voltage and have to convert it into AC to operate the lamp.
The DC supply can come from rectified ...

Setting correct operating frequency for LLC resonant SMPS
I need to figure out if an LLC half-bridge resonant SMPS is designed (more or less) correctly. I am not an SMPS designer, and neither is the manufacturer, so I'm just reading a bunch of app notes and ...

What is the use of transformers with 3 pairs of wires?
I found a device which has a ferrite core and 3 coils on it. It looks like some type of transformer. What would be its use? I found it in a compact fluorescent lamp.
