  • Patent number: 6496563
    Abstract: A driver circuit for supplying power to an X-ray tube includes a filament supply, a first transformer connected to an anode of the X-ray tube and a first switch connected between the driver control and first transformer. The driver control controls the first switch to move between an open and closed position. The signal applied to the first transformer when the switch is closed is adjustable in both frequency and pulse width and is applied to the X-ray tube to generate an adjustable X-ray beam. The first transformer includes a primary winding connected to the first switch and a secondary winding connected to an anode of the X-ray tube, a voltage to be induced in the secondary winding is applied to the anode of the X-ray tube for generating the X-ray beam.
