LOW VOLTAGE TESLA COIL DRIVER BASED ON SG3525

High Current PWM Tesla Coil (Transformer) Driver is designed around SG3525 IC and high current output driver MOSFET. This project is simple solution to drive any small tesla coil or EHT since it has
two potentiometer for Frequency and PWM adjust. High current Mosfet can handle 5Amps continues even more with large size heat sink. Simple to use project to ignite the Tesla coil or EHT.
