PLL-controlled SSTC?



Original poster: "Jolyon Vater Cox by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <jolyon-at-vatercox.freeserve.co.uk>


Has anyone experience of the use of Phase-Locked-Loops to keep a Tesla coil in
tune? This approach would appear to have advantanges in combining the
efficiency of Class D switching with the frequency-tracking capability of a
self-resonant inverter -are there any serious problems with this approach?
Also, is dead-time control actually essential for switching transistors/MOSFETs
in Tesla coil service?
