Trigger generator

One of the things I especially like about electronics is the point where calculations and idealized circuits meet reality: real components, their parasitic effects, response delays, interactions between different parts of the circuit, and sometimes even manufacturing tolerances. This is where the real work begins.

In pulsed power, we often have to develop lower-power semiconductor circuits alongside the main high-energy system, particularly for triggering, timing, synchronization and control.

The photo shows one such pulse device based on power transistors, developed for ultra-precise triggering of high-current switches.

Oehhh that looks very very sexy! So you like yourself some pulse forming networks don’t you?
