Hi,
I have powerfull ultrasonic tranducers for 20kh to 80kh, need to build driver board
can we use 555 timer to drive it?

how the high excitation produced to drive it?
I am attaching two schematics from net, kindly help me in building the driver

excitation voltage:1000 V
Frequency (KHz) 30
Resonance Impedance (Ω) 10-25
Static Capacity (pF)±10% 5000
Input Power (W) 100

 

Best to use a Pushpull out with a transformer, the transformer is tuned to your centre frequency.

 

Are you trying to drive the transducer at close to its maximum output rating, or merely at low power?

Any gain mis match will cause the 2 amplifiers to work against each other to some fraction of the total power.

The high power ultrasonic systems I was involved with used total loop phase sensitive feedback so it settled on the resonant frequency of the transducer. The TS stated a transducer capable of a wide frequency range - I have no experience catering for one like that.
