So, I have a pulse signal transformer like this (freq is 1MHz):

enter image description here

In the secondary coil I want to get bipolar pulses. How can I make it using BJT or MOSFET switches and wich is better? I know, that typically primary coil is in the collector of BJT, but how can i use it with grounded coil. I need something like this, but I understand that in this case BJT won`t switch on properly. enter image description here Can I use pnp type like this?? enter image description here

  • \$\begingroup\$ Could you check the circuit with p-n-p bjts, I`ve added it above. \$\endgroup\$

Seems ok to me. You can connect the collectors together and use one 5V source.

But more usual approach is to connect 5v to center tap and connect transistor low side (common emitter).

With mosfets it's also possible.

Edit:

The pnp version controlled with npn:

  • \$\begingroup\$ A also thought about it, but I should deffinetely have this middle point grounded! \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Using your proposal you will get 4.3v voltage across primary. In common emitter there will be full Vcc (5v). \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ 4.3v for wich circuit? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ First one in your question (npn version). There will be drop if you don't put 5v7 to the base at least. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Actually I don`t think that this circuit will work. Because base current is limited by coil, or not?? What do you think about using p-n-p types (last picture in question) \$\endgroup\$
