Description
Recent trends in power electronics indicate increas-ing demand for fast response switching networks with sub nanosecond switching speed at a variety of volt-ages. Gate driving networks meet the desired switch-ing speeds using COTS (Commercial Off-The Shelf) parts. This work describes an IVA (Inductive Voltage Adder) system capable of switching in the single digits of ns with a projected voltage output of 2 kV, using a gate driving topology to drive GaN (Gallium Nitride) HEMTs (High Electron Mobility Transistor). These rapid switching systems are proposed to be used in the LAMP (LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project) chopper to effectively produce clean beam to select target stations, producing the needed output.
