Description

A fast rise time, low repetition rate, high-voltage, square pulse generator with double-diffused-metal-oxide-semiconductor (DMOS) switching is described. It has been developed for ion beam deflection at an electrostatic deflector in a beam guide system of a neutron generator. The features of the generator are: 1.7 kV amplitude, variable frequency from 2 to 50 Hz, variable width from 0.5 to 5 μs, and 125 ns delay. Output pulses are free of overshoot and backswing with rise and fall times of approximately 45 ns and 5 μs width
