Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage pulse power supplies, and in particular to a high-voltage pulse generating circuit based on a pre-boost structure, a working method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a classic all-solid-state power pulse generator, the Marx circuit mainly realizes the parallel charging and series discharging process of capacitors by controlling the on-off of the switch tube, thereby generating high-voltage pulses on the load.

[0003] With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, Marx circuits, with their compact size and stable output waveform, have been widely used in fields such as biomedicine, industrial waste treatment, electrostatic precipitation, microwave weapons, and plasma research. However, with the continuous advancement of various application fields, higher performance requirements are being placed on pulse power supplies, especially in terms of high voltage gain, miniaturization, and high power density.

[0004] Currently, there are two common approaches to meeting the high voltage gain requirements of pulse power supplies. One is to increase the number of charge and discharge units in the Marx generator. Theoretically, this should improve voltage gain. However, in practice, as the number of Marx circuit stages increases, the number of switching devices in the circuit also increases. This not only significantly increases overall switching losses but also rapidly reduces circuit efficiency. Furthermore, more devices mean a larger circuit size and higher costs. These factors have severely restricted the further application of Marx circuits in the high-voltage pulse field.

[0005] Another approach is to increase the voltage level of the capacitor in the Marx generator's charge and discharge unit to improve the overall circuit voltage gain. This approach can, to a certain extent, reduce circuit size, reduce switching transistor power loss, and lower costs. However, this approach also faces some technical challenges in practice, such as how to safely and effectively increase the capacitor voltage, and the impact of the increase on circuit stability and reliability.
