What is a high voltage pulse generator?

These biological effects require high voltage pulses with different pulse width in the range from nanoseconds to hundreds of microseconds. To fulfill this requirement, a compact high voltage pulse generator has been designed based on a switchable capacitor array and a SiC MOSFET switching array.

What is a modular HV pulse generator based on?

In [ 10 ], a modular HV pulse generator based on power electronic converters is proposed. It uses a number of switches connected in series to chop the output HV to get HV pulses. The components’ quantity is high in this structure. In [ 11 ], a bipolar HV pulse generator based on Marx generator is proposed.

Can a pulse generator be used for electroporation?

High-voltage (HV) pulses are widely used in many applications. This study proposes a new HV unipolar pulse generator based on Single-Ended Primary-Inductance Converter (SEPIC) for electroporation applications. The converter in the proposed pulse generator operates in discontinuous conduction mode with continuous input current.

Is a new HV pulse generator based on a single-end primary-inductance converter (SEPIC)?

A new HV pulse generator with HV gain and a reduced number of components has been presented in this paper. The proposed modular topology is based on Single-Ended Primary-Inductance Converter (SEPIC) that works in DCM. The amplified HV output pulse is obtained from a relatively low voltage DC source.
