My first public circuit here. A straightforward +48 Volt power supply for a microphone using a 555 charge pump ladder. The output at the Voltmeter should go to two perfectly matched 6.81kΩ 0.1% resistors (not shown), otherwise there could be hum from the unbalanced signal.
Semiconductors
Qty,Component,Value / Part Number,Notes
1,Timer IC,NE555 (or NE555P),Standard Bipolar version (Not CMOS).
4,Schottky Diodes,1N5819,40V, 1A. Low forward drop is key here.
1,Zener Diode,1N4756A,47V, 1 Watt. (Using 1W is safer than 0.5W for heat).
