Summary:A driver has been developed to control a solid-state high-voltage switch for a half-bridge switching circuit, which is used as part of high-voltage pulse generators. The developed driver makes it possible to significantly reduce the negative influence of capacitive couplings, such as the Miller capacitance and parasitic capacitances of the high-voltage switch to the ground. Minimizing the influence of these factors made it possible to provide the characteristic times of the leading edges of voltage pulses, which are created by the generator, equal to several tens of nanoseconds.
