Abstract
A high magnitude potential supply comprises a first circuit (220, 224) for generating a first signal related to an output high magnitude potential (KV) across a pair of output terminals (113 and ground) of the supply, a second circuit (210, 218) for generating a second signal related to a desired output current from the high magnitude potential supply, and a third circuit (Q2B, Q2C, Q7 and associated components) for supplying an operating potential (VCT) to the high magnitude potential supply so that it can produce the high magnitude operating potential. The third circuit has a control terminal (COMP terminal of 86). The supply further comprises a fourth circuit (86) coupled to the first (220, 224) and second (210, 218) circuits and to the control terminal (COMP terminal of 86). The fourth circuit (86) receives the first and second signals from the first (220, 224) and second (210, 218) circuits and controls the operating potential supplied to the high magnitude potential supply by the third circuit (Q2B, Q2C, Q7 and associated components). The supply further comprises a fifth circuit (84, 240, 242, 244) for disabling the supply of operating potential to the high magnitude potentia…
