  • TRANSFORMER RESONANT CONVERTER
    Publication number: 20230093824
    Abstract: Some embodiments may include a nanosecond pulser comprising a plurality of solid state switches; a transformer having a stray inductance, Ls, a stray capacitance, Cs, and a turn ratio n; and a resistor with a resistance, R, in series between the transformer and the switches. In some embodiments, the resonant circuit produces a Q factor according to Q = 1 R ? L s C s , and the nanosecond pulser produces an output voltage Vout from an input voltage Vin, according to Vout=QnVin.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 7, 2022
    Publication date: March 30, 2023
    Inventors: Kenneth E. Miller, James R. Prager, Timothy M. Ziemba, John G. Carscadden, Ilia Slobodov, Alex Patrick Henson
