The discussion focuses on stepping up the voltage from a 1.5V battery to 300V using an oscillator circuit that includes a transformer, a small capacitor, and a transistor. Participants confirm that the specific type of transistor and capacitor is not critical for handling 1.5V, but recommend utilizing a flyback circuit for achieving high voltage ratios effectively. The conversation emphasizes the importance of circuit design in engineering applications.
PREREQUISITESElectronics engineers, hobbyists working on voltage conversion projects, and anyone interested in high-voltage circuit design.
Hello, can someone please help me out here, i want to step up the voltage of a 1.5V battery to 300V, i know that to do so you need an oscilatro circuit consisting of a transformer a small capacitor and a transistor. so my question is, does the type of transistor/capacitor i use matter?
