A solid state triggered switch for EBW firing circuits
Abstract
The characteristics required of a trigger switch for exploding bridge wire operation are outlined. It is shown that a combination of a silicon controlled rectifier, break over diode, and inverse blocking diode can also be used. Nuclear hardness tests and live firings of the solid state switch are described.
