My client, a small manufacturer, was having a noise problem with a new batch of 1500V-dc supplies.
It had been a while since the company manufactured this product. The original engineer was long gone, and the only documentation was a schematic. The approach was a straightforward closed-loop design. An op amp controlled an oscillator that used a step-up transformer to create the high voltage, which the system rectified and filtered into dc. A small part of the output voltage fed back into the inverting input of the op amp as an error signal to adjust the oscillator frequency when necessary. The noninverting input was grounded.
