Abstract :
The Miniature Inductive Adder (MIA) is an innovative topology for high voltage pulse generator applications. A MIA modulator has been developed for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) “small recirculator” experiment. In this paper we examine the MIA fundamentals and design issues relevant to this application. Modulator performance data with a test load and with the recirculator induction cell load are presented. Ongoing work to improve the MIA performance and additional applications to which this modulator topology has been applied are discussed.
