Senscomp said:The #614096 Ranging Transformer, and the #619391 (6500) Ranging Transformer are both used the same way.
The input is listed as a DC voltage due to the way it is used in the circuit. If you look at the 6500 Ranging Module schematic, one side of the transformer (T1) is tied to +5V DC, while the other side is pulsed using a transistor (Q1). The input to the transistor can be a burst of 1 to 20 pulses at a 50 KHz rate. There should also be a time of rest between the bursts of pulses. When the pulses are stepped up by the transformer, the output is a 400Vpp burst of 50 KHz that will drive the electrostatic transducer. The zener diodes (CR1-4) placed on the output of the transformer will protect the transducer from possible damage due to excessive voltage.

THis is what Senscomp told me about their transformer. THey have also told me it's a flyback transformer. Now...if V=L*di/dt is true, doesn't that mean the output voltage is dependent on how fast I the transistor shuts off if I use an open-collector/source transistor to drive current through the primary?They use some BJT in their circuit but I want to use a MOSFET and there is very little additional information other than what I have just said. Like if the transistor shuts off twice as fast, won't the flyback votlage be twice as high? Or am I missing something here?
