ABSTRACT:
A high-voltage switching circuit is formed of a series combination of switches, each of which is rated for use at a voltage lower than that of the power supply. The switches are connected in series with inductors, the inductors being magnetically coupled, in an anti-phase manner. A pair of capacitors, having substantially equal values of capacitance, are connected, respectively, in parallel with each series combination of a switch and inductor. The inductors and capacitors together insure that no more than one-half the total voltage of the power supply will ever appear across either switch. The series combination of switches can be used in place of a single switch, and permits the use of switches rated at low voltage to be combined to form an overall switch which works reliably at a higher voltage.
