I want to be able to generate a low current isolated supply (for driving my solid state relay MOSFETs) gate-to-source. I googled and found this: http://www.maxim-ic.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/1932 1. How does this circuit work? I'm guessing the 74HC14s give a sharp signal to U1 whose outputs oscillate signals into high pass filters C1 and C2. At that point, I'm guessing the signal looks more like a sine wave which passe= s through the full wave rectifier comped of those 4 diodes and the capacitor. Tell me if I'm wrong. 2. Is there a simpler way to generate an isolated supply? --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
