Abstract
Systems and methods for quickly charging a load capacitance to a voltage level that is a multiple of the DC input voltage are provided herein. In one approach, the load capacitance is charged by a voltage multiplication circuit, and the load capacitance is subsequently discharged into a resonant circuit that drives a diode opening switch in order to create a fast rising, unipolar electrical pulse.
