A Programmable Controller with Overcurrent Latch for Constant Primary Peak Current in Capacitor Charging FET Switcher for Nova

Abstract

New switching power supplies were designed for the 10 mm laser amplifiers in the Nova Master Oscillator Room. The flashlamp supply must be repratable. Therefore, we designed a constant current, linearly charging power supply. Refer to a related paper, "An FET Full Bridge Switcher for Inductorless Capacitor Charging for Nova," for specifications and details on the power circuit.
