Default Re: Solid State Vibrators -v- Inverters ?

There are some very cheap adjustable dc to dc converters that go up to 300 volt on eBay from China. A few people have successfully used them. Interesting I have a few 8 pin dil chips from the 70s with complementary output that were designed for use in inverters. They have an internal 50hz oscillator and required no external components just a power transistor. I have replaced many mechanical inverters in the past with the electronic equivalent. Although my design is unusual in that I use a pic chip so I can tune to the transformer in software. Those step up transformer are surprisingly frequency dependant.
