-ve square wave using a dc voltage

Hi,

Is it possible to get a square wave with both 40v +ve & 40v -ve sides, using a 40vdc and a 5v squarewave ?

Hi,

There is a lot of information missing.
A picture could help.

Your question is: "is it possible.."
My anser is: YES.

I assume you mean a sinlge 40V DC power supply (0V, +40V)
--> use a DPDT relay with 5V coil voltage:
* one NC1 to 40V, the NO1 from the same contact to 0V
* other contact NO2 to 40V, NC2 to 0V
* coil connected to GND and 5V square wave.
* output: COM1 and COM2

Connect a scope or DVM to COM1 abd COM2 and see +/-40 square wave.

Similar solutions can be made using an DPDT analog switch (faster, low power)
Or with a MOSFET power full bridge (fast, high power)
...and maybe hundreds of other solutions....depending on your (missing) specifications.

I want to test this circuit but I have only 40volt supply.
I need both positive and negative voltage at the output.

Hi,

If you need both positve and negative output you need both positve and negative supply.

But I doubt the 741 is specified to work with +/- 40V supply.

* I wonder why you talk about 5V square wave... This has nothing to do with the shown circuit.

Please give complete and detailed informations .. not piece by piece.

Not sure exactly what you need, but you can create a negative rail from a positive DC supply. See this video https://youtu.be/LtoPHevexTM

The video in post #5 is informative. It discusses a charge pump. The same concept is used in this simulation, where you get -38V by drawing power from a +40V supply.

For the clock signal, you can make that your 5V square wave. It can drive a low side NPN. Then add another NPN in such a way as to drive the high side PNP on/ off.

If you were to decide that a bipolar +-20V supply is suitable, then it would be convenient and efficient to split your +40V supply.

sure, use a transformer with the output center tapped. connect 40V to center tap, and put 5V square wave on primary
