Nanoseconds switching for high voltage circuit using avalanche transistors

The avalanche transistor is suitable for switching high voltage in kilovolts region. In this paper, a simple switching circuit consists of avalanche transistor is demonstrated. Sixteen of ZTX 415 avalanche transistors were used to switch a high voltage circuit up to 4.5 kV. A PIC16F84 microcontrolle...
