When the secondary stays open, all the energy gets dumped into the snubber (potentially lossless, 2 diodes an inductor and a capacitor). You could probably detect that relatively simply compared to ordinary primary feedback, which requires carefully timed sampling. PS. unshielded coreless PCB transformers probably won't make HAMs happy. |

I found this on the interwebs. T3sl4co1l should probably love it. ;D |

My version of what I did years back. Nothing special about it, you could even rewire it to take feedback from the primary side. This way the output is better regulated. //Take the output currrent rating with a grain of salt. It indeed could put out 100mA or so, but it is not the recommended load level ;) |

Same high idle current though. Tim |

Same high idle current though. --- End quote --- That's interesting and good to know. I've recently cobbled together a 5 to 24V boost circuit (to replace an old and tired CCFL backlight for LEDs) using a 34063 from my junk bin, all the while remembering that Imgur post of yours about it ;D I can hear a bit of whine, though, which the higher operating frequency of this improved version might take care of. Gotta try it sometime. |
