Hey, I was hoping someone wouldn't mind taking a look at this design for me. I am hoping to get some input or even a better idea altogether. This is my first attempt at an inductive SMPS of any kind. The closest I have come is a low current voltage doubler (capacitive) driven directly from the 555's totem-pole output.
The configuration of the 555 in this circuit is one I had never seen before, I found it in a schematic while looking around for some hints. It does, however, seem to work.
When running in the simulator (multisim), Iam pretty happy with the operation (at least considering what I am working with). When I breadboarded the circuit, I wasn't able to get any appreciable current. I think this might be simply because of the capacitances, inductances, etc. associated with the breadboard, or a combination of this and other things.
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
