Is it possible to amplify 5Vpp to 100Vpp with BJT?

Hi Mars,
Did you have a simple diagram you could post.
An amp is possible but would require dual supplies

I've been copying a pcb board. I've been drawing the confirmed parts in a diagram so far, but I think I still missed a lot of parts (it's impossible to track them anymore).

Voltage Multiplier output is about 1kV. Therefore, it is estimated that the output voltage of BJT is 80 to 90 Vpp. There is no bias positive voltage in the diagram. (I think I missed it.) BJT is most similar to Common Base. Therefore, I am wondering if it is possible to make about 100Vpp with Common Base output.


Here is a diagram.

Well, at least the transistor is properly specified. The datasheet for the BF820 says 300V max, so well within its rating.

I would suggest you review articles on "cockroft walton voltage multiplier". There is at least one mistake in your schematic there. Also, the C-W multiplier likes to be driven by a fairly symmetrical driver. For your design the "output" transformer (to the right of BD5) is critical to operation. FWIW I don't see the needed power feed to the BC87-BC89 side of the output transformer.

I would not use a multiplier at all but that is just because I use transformers.
I would not use a linear amplifier to drive a transformer or multiplier. I use MOSFETs in a on or off condition and never in a linear mode.
What output voltage and current/power do you want?
What is the input voltage?

Is it possible to amplify the signal of 5Vpp to 100Vpp with a common base amplifier?
the board you are copying is a high voltage Mutiplier ladder supply likely for a color CRT. The output voltage will be more like 20Kv. The diodes in the ladder are special high voltage ones to do the multiplication as are the capacitors which are from Japan. U8 is a biphase oscillator chip likely a from Exar and only has a partial number due to the small size. The circuit looks fairly complete but I would question some of the component values you have may not be correct. You do not need an amplifier here.
