Will this simple smps cct work.

Hi to all.
Does anyone know if this simple cct will actually work. I have
simulated it in LTSPICE and it seems to run ok , although the collector
voltage is getting a bit high. I plan on winding the transformer on a
small powdered iron toroid. I don't have the toroid yet , hence only
the simulation to go on. As soon as I get what I need , I'll breadboard
the cct. Just want to know if I'm wasting my time at this early stage
:0)

Cheers

Just save the following code as an .asc file and it should open fine.

Hi to all.
Does anyone know if this simple cct will actually work. I have
simulated it in LTSPICE and it seems to run ok ,

The simulation shows that you're getting only 54% efficiency. That's
sure to go down with real-world parts. I'd say you need to work to get the
efficiency up before heating up your soldering iron.

Try reversing the phase of L3.
Then reduce C3 to 1N.

Re-couple L2 to ground, rather than 12V, to remove supply decoupling
effects from the base drive. Suggest you re-check effects of supply
voltage, C2 and load.

However: there's little reason to expect that a simulation,
particularly of an oscillator, most particularly one using a simple
magnetic component model, will accurately reflect reality.
