MOSFET output ringing
The following circuit is a MOSFET driver.
When I feed a 20KHz squarewave in, I get 20KHz out ... but as a 1.25MHz ring. This is as unloaded. http://users.tpg.com.au/hburns/index.html I assume this has to do with the air core coupling, but would like to know more about how this happens. IOW what factors control the presence and frequency of the ringing. Can anyone please explain? Jim Starret |

It is the self resonant frequency of the transformer inductance in parallel with the inter winding and mosfet output capacitance. |

"Jim Starret" The following circuit is a MOSFET driver. When I feed a 20KHz squarewave in, I get 20KHz out ... but as a 1.25MHz ring. This is as unloaded. http://users.tpg.com.au/hburns/index.html I assume this has to do with the air core coupling, but would like to know more about how this happens. IOW what factors control the presence and frequency of the ringing. Can anyone please explain? ** That secondary winding has almost no effect unless it is loaded. Your primary winding is therefore a simple " tank circuit " - ie a parallel tuned circuit, tuned by the stray capacitance between individual turns and that mosfet driving it. The 8 to 10 cycles of visible ringing indicates the " Q factor " of your 100t coil is around 8 to 10 also - a neat rule of thumb to remember. Add a bit of ferrite inside the coil - see the ringing frequency take a nose dive and the number of cycles go through the roof !!! Real electronic devices, in a hand on situation, plus real time scope view beats ANY simulation, anyday. ........ Phil |

** That secondary winding has almost no effect unless it is loaded. ....... Phil Thanks Phil. Just out of curiousity, if I did load the secondary, say with some kind of antenna, would the antenna be broadcasting the original waveform, as per the 100T coil, or the waveform after it has been affected by the load? Sorry if this is a bit basic. Jim Starret |

Try you Q on alt.radio-pirates.nut cases Anytime. .......... Phil |

Makes your original schem look like a radio jammer. ........ Phil |

Sorry if this is a bit basic. Jim Starret You'd do better hanging a resistor on the secondary to simulate the intended load. - YD. -- |
