Hey ,

My recent project I started , I wanted to make a miniature CW audio SSTC , The circuit is a PLL using a 4046 IC and a 4049 Hex inverter IC ,

Specs are -

534 KHz resonance secondary with topload .
Primary - 6 Turns
DC Blocking bridge capacitors - 1uF 1000V DC
Control - 4046 , 4049 IC's
Bridge DC smoothing - 500V 1200uF Electrolytic
Gate Drive turns - 14
Mosfets - Plastic package 500V 14A
Gate resistors - 10 Ohms
Recovery Diodes - 600V 15A plastic package

Audio works well , But its very quite at low power , But clear at high powers , heating in secondary and plastic Fets is the limiting factor but it works well , I get 3" CW arcs from a 4" x 2" secondary

Scope image is the feedback from the CT going into the first Hex inverter , ( its got flat tops due to the Diodes that clip the sign wave ) . Blue signal is the out from the PLL chip to the gate driver section .

I will replace the gate drive IC with ones that have enable pins to turn the coil into a MIDI based coil ( only on when note is played ) , as cuurent gate drive ICs don't have enable pins .
