Ive seen Marx generators made with low voltage transistors in avalanche. But I cant find anything higher than a few hundred volts. Is anyone aware of high voltage switching devices that could be used in the same avalanche mode, to generate high voltages at fast recovery rates? Ive seen IGBTs and MOSFETs switch at higher voltages, but I havent seen them being used in the configuration. Is this not a reasonable switching alternative? Are there drawbacks Im over looking like cost and efficiency?
From reading other posts I know everyone like to know the application. Im looking for a novel high voltage generator, this seemed reasonable when I saw the transistor Marx generator. Simple, compact, without a spark gap; the voltage Im looking to start with is about 15K, no more than about 6 stages. Output frequency between 3-9 KHz
What do you think?
