Hello, EEVBlog Forums! I'd like a little help with a problem I'm having.
I'm using a NE555 and a 2SK2765 N-channel MOS FET (sinking current) to drive a transformer at ~150 Hz for the purpose of producing a high voltage. That part works, with the secondary putting out about 600 volts from my 12v source, but when I probe the connection between the MOS FET's drain and the primary winding, rather than a 12 volt square wave at 150 Hz, I see a really weird waveform peaking around 50V. I assume this is back EMF from the primary, but I can't for the life of me figure out where to put a diode to absorb it.
Relatedly, how would I go about debiasing the square wave (the one actually being fed into the transformer)? I tried putting a capacitor in series, but it didn't seem to work.
Thanks!
