There is no way around a transformer in this case. I'm not opposed to a transformer. I have, I think, the other piece o uC DSS implementation (2 of them, one is a R2R implementation and 1 is a PWM implementation), coupled with a power transistor and a RC filter to smooth out the waveform. Now, if I could just find a 1:2 transformer that would handle 9VAC (9W?) and work at 50 and 60 Hz, I'd be golden. But, I know *NOTHING* about inductors and transformers. I faintly remember taking a part of a course on them in college, but nothing stuck. So, Bil et al, help would be appreciated. I looked at Coilcraft, and saw some step down and forward mode transformers, but I need the reverse, I think. Jim Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2013-09-14 01:00:04
