10 stage LTD for e-beam diode

Single stage of the driver stores 5.5 kJ at 90 kV charge. The capacitance of the stage is 1.36 /spl mu/F, the inductance of the discharge circuit including secondary turn is about 40 nH. The module of the LTD for high current e-beam diode contains 10 single stages connected in series. The report includes the design of the single stage and that of the 10-stage LTD module, the description of the high voltage synchronization system, as well as test results with e-beam diode.
