Hello,
I'm a noob to SMPS (really IC's in general) but have long been a hi-fi and valve guitar amp hobbyist. I've been doing my best to comprehend the Max1771 (), but it's a steep learning curve (not to mention one of the most involved data sheets I've come across). What I'm trying to understand is if I could safely run Nick DeSmith's circuit (see links-->power supplies--->SMPS or desmith.net) at up to 400v, 60-70ma or more? I'm tired of ordering one-off transformers for prototypes and would love to be able to build a HV SMPS so I can simply adjust the output for a particular design.
Do I understand correctly that the Max1771's output abilities are simply dependent on the specs of the passive components, diode, inductor, etc?
Sorry if this has been addressed--I've tried my best to scroll through old threads. Thanks for your help (and a big thanks to Nick DeSmith for getting me interested enough to sign up at this forum). Eric
