555 Timer Flyback Driver for Electric Fence Charger
Drawing preview
The scenario

Need a 555 timer flyback driver that generates high-voltage pulses for an electric fence charger from a 12 V battery.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use NE555 astable oscillator to set pulse frequency and duty cycle

02

Drive an NPN power transistor that switches current through a flyback transformer primary

03

Ground one secondary terminal and bring the other to HV output for the fence load

Reusable for battery-powered fence chargers, ignition coils, or other flyback high-voltage pulse generators where the 555 timer sets the switching rate.
