A capacitor-charging circuit providing high-voltage gain, inherent command-charge capability, and high efficiency is proposed. It can be used in high average-power laser pulsers as well as in thyratron trigger-generator circuits at low-power levels. It offers simple and compact means of varying the charging voltage on a capacitor. Unlike conventional command-resonant chargers, where the cathode of the switch is floated at high potential, a high-voltage switch is not required in the charging path in the proposed scheme. Operation of this circuit is described at 5 kHz with a voltage gain of 20.
