This paper proposes a pulsed power generator which consists of two types of switched-capacitor booster modules. A doubling mode module employed to elevate the input voltage to a specified level and, constant mode module is used to increase the elevated voltage into the finally intended bipolar output voltage. Also, the proposed modular structure does not utilize any switches across the load. Ot...

A new type of a pulsed ion beam accelerator named “bipolar pulse accelerator (BPA) ”has been proposed to improve the purity of the intense pulsed ion beam. In order to confirm the principle of the BPA, we have developed a bipolar pulse generator and a prototype of the accelerator. When the bipolar pulse generator was operated at 70 % of the full charge condition, the bipolar pulse with the firs...

This paper presents a buck-boost converter-based bipolar pulse generator, which is able to generate bipolar exponential pulses across a resistive load. The concept of the proposed approach depends on operating the involved buck-boost converters in discontinuous current conduction mode with high-voltage gain and enhanced efficiency. A full design of the pulse generator and its passive components...

Pulsed electric fields in the sub-microsecond range are being increasingly used biomedical and biotechnology applications, where demand for high-voltage high-frequency pulse generators with enhanced performance flexibility is pushing limits of power solid state technology. In scope this article, a new pulsed generator, which includes four independent MOSFET based Marx modulators, operating indi...

There are many applications using pulsed power such as the triggering of high speed cameras and spectrometers, the processing or chemical analysis of minute material, and the stimulation of cells by electrical pulses. The pulse width and voltage required for each application are different in the range of ns and kV. The energy required is usually in the mJ regime. Here, a novel portable pulse po...

In this paper, a novel class of pulsed latches of high speed under minimum energy consumption is designed and implemented in 65-nm CMOS technology. This conditional push-pull pulsed latch adopts a push-pull output stage, which is driven by two split paths with a conditional pulse generator. It is implemented in two versions, respectively, without (CP 3 L) and with (CSP 3 L) shareable conditiona...

A pulsed power generator based on a high-voltage Tesla transformer which charges a 3.85 Ω/55 ns water-filled pulse forming line to 300 kV has been developed at Loughborough University as a training tool for pulsed power students. The generator uses all forms of insulation specific to pulsed power technology, liquid (oil and water), gas (SF(6)), and magnetic insulation in vacuum, and a number of...
