ABSTRACT:
A high voltage power supply includes a current source that provides a continuous current signal, and a switching circuit that includes a plurality of switching elements. The switching circuit is responsive to the continuous current signal, and provides an alternating current signal. The power supply also includes a multiplier-rectifier circuit with at least one loading inductor, and having an input responsive to said alternating current signal to provide a rectified output signal. The switching circuit may be configured and arranged as an H-bridge circuit. The input of the multiplier-rectifier circuit is short circuited every half cycle of the alternating current signal during the transition from positive to negative current flow (or visa-versa).
