Abstract
A high voltage driver with capacitive coupling that is useful in the presence of the high power supply ripple common with higher-voltage systems. It permits extreme ranges of duty cycle, but without the limitations of transformer magnetics, or the increased complexity of optical coupling methods. It is also robust in the presence of voltage transients created by high-voltage arcing to the output drive-line.
