Greetings,
I developed an experimental circuit (see attachment)
The battery and resistor simulates a typical power source that I have (that is 1.4V or 4.5V typically at 4mA at maximum). Switches represent relays controlled externally. Capacitor C1 acts as energy collector when sw1 and sw2 are on. Furthermore, sw3 and sw4 is temporarily off from generator and capacitor C1 to isolate load from power source. When switches status reverse, C1 acts a source for the remaining circuit. My goal is to convert typical pulse to a higher voltage (4V or 11V) at the price of reducing current to 2mA minimum. The transformer in this schematic is not an accurate representation of dual voltage transformer. (the editor does not support it) In this case, the cores of two transformers should be connected. On other circuit simulator, I was able to achieve voltage spike or oscillations decaying exponentially and rapidly. The voltage spike was greater that 10V. Later I will attempt to develop circuit (using passive zero resistance) to turn decaying oscillation into a narrow pulse which I believe it can be done. My question is, can I find miniature dual voltage transformer for this typical low voltage and current inputs with very little losses in conversion process (converting input to output? I was looking in alternative circuits such as dc to dc converters or using microamps powered amplifiers and I could not find a circuit to convert input source from capacitor (C1) to a pulse of higher voltage...
thank you for your time
