Solution Overview

Problem

Existing designs for generating high pulse voltage in inductive loads fail to minimize short-term pulse electromagnetic noise radiated into the environment.

Innovation Solution

The method involves generating high DC and low DC voltages, creating sequences of controlling square pulses, and applying these pulses to controlled gates to periodically connect and disconnect an inductive load, while transforming the pulses to delay their trailing edges and applying them to a second controlled switch, thereby reducing electromagnetic noise by ensuring the diode is fully off before the pulse ends.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by transforming the control pulses beforehand to create a time gap. The trailing edges of the third sequence of controlling pulses are delayed relative to the first sequence, ensuring the diode is fully off before the next pulse begins. This pre-planned timing adjustment prevents electromagnetic noise at the trailing edges without compromising the high voltage output function.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the timing parameter of the control pulses by transforming the first sequence into a third sequence with delayed trailing edges. This parameter modification creates a time gap that allows the diode to fully turn off before the next pulse, eliminating noise surges while preserving the required pulse duration for high voltage generation.

Solution Approach 1:

The transformed control pulse sequence acts as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between continuous voltage output and electromagnetic interference prevention.

AI summary

A method for generating a high pulse voltage in an inductive load consists in periodically connecting an inductive load to the outputs of a source of high constant voltage using a first controllable switching device, periodically disconnecting and connecting a control circuit of a second controllable switching device using a first controllable switch, and also periodically supplying low voltage from an output of a source of low constant voltage to the control circuit of the second controllable switching device via a second controllable switch, thus eliminating conditions conducive to transient pulsed electromagnetic interference during the generation of a high pulse voltage in an inductive load.
