Yes the circuit I attached in the previous post works at about 50KHz. The transformer is using a small ring core and use solid isolation (>=1mm plastic between the primary and secondary) to achieve reinforce (double) insulation. Therefore the efficiency can not be very high (at about 70%) but it is good for normal low power use.

Subject: Re: [EE] Re: : Modified sine timing? Philip, An RM core isn't designed for operation at 50Hz. You probably can't get enough turns on the core to make it work there. Try 50kHz, you'll have better luck there (and you'll need less turns).
