Abstract:
A high-speed high-voltage pulser especially designed to operate in high radiation environments. The pulser uses a primary side driver and switches in front of an isolation gate transformer. The primary side driver and switches provide amplified and fast complementary pulse signals to the transformer. The transformer has top and bottom secondary windings, which respectively receive the complementary signals, and deliver them to secondary side drivers and switches. The switches are implemented with series-connected FETs.
