情境
A Nixie tube clock requires a high-voltage DC rail (typically 150–200 V) derived from a low-voltage supply. This circuit uses a 555 timer in astable mode to drive a MOSFET that switches a flyback transformer, producing the high voltage after rectification.

看懂背後的決策。
01
Using a 555 timer in astable mode for a stable, adjustable pulse train.
02
A MOSFET (nmos) switches the flyback primary at high frequency to induce high voltage.
03
Rectifying the transformer secondary with a diode and capacitor yields the filtered DC output.
