Abstract

A high voltage generator is provided. The high voltage generator includes an inverter circuit coupled to receive a direct-current (DC) input voltage, a resonant circuit coupled to the inverter circuit, a transformer coupled to the resonant circuit and also coupled to provide a high voltage output to a high voltage device, and a phase control circuit coupled to receive a voltage across and a current through the resonant circuit and also coupled to the inverter circuit. The phase control circuit generates control signals to drive the inverter circuit. The control signals drive the inverter circuit to keep the resonant circuit operating in an inductive region.
