More Information
Summary:A double resonance electronic converter and method of operating such a converter having: a switching circuit comprising a first switch and a second switch; a double resonance resonant circuit having a series resonant circuit and a parallel resonant circuit; a rectifying and filtering circuit, and a control circuit for controlling the switching circuit having two state arrangements. A first arrangement for controlling states of the switching circuit and a second arrangement for controlling the start of the first arrangement. The converter may be used to obtain very high voltages, on the order of 100 kilovolts and more, for providing power to an X-ray tube in a radiological imaging apparatus.
