Steve, why wouldn't a "self-resonant" system work for a audio modulated
SSTC? I think that a resonance "correction" circuit could be quite
useful. But I am not sure how to do it. The TL494 seems to be a less
then perfect IC for modulation, but Dan has proven it to be more than
capable! I wonder if it would be possible to do modulation with the
IR2153D IC that Dave Sharpe has been looking into? BTW, where to find
this IC? I have checked the usual suspects, but haven't found... What
are folk using to design their boards, Eagle? But finding the right
component list is troublesome! Arggh! I wish I actually had some time to
spend on this. My desire is to make my own board, starting with a vary
simple "half-bridge" circuit. The challenge of solid state is a very
luring one that makes VTTC look like child's play! Absolutely no room
quick lash-up's Those IC's are truly infant weak!

Regards,

David Trimmell

Ah, but it works for ANY input.  All of the SSTCs on my site are
self-resonant, including the twins.  The only one that isnt
self-resonant
is of course the plasmasonic, but that doesnt really need to be.  And
actually, if you look at what the self-resonant designs need to work,
its
not much more than a good comparator and sometimes a buffer (i like to
use
logic inverters) added into the system.  In my opinion its well worth
it.
