Abstract :
A digital programmable firing controller to drive solid-state power modulators is presented. The advantages over analog or hybrid systems are outlined. The simplicity, expandability, reliability, and repeatability without any channel crosstalk is stressed. Programming on line while maintaining strict waveshape symmetry is realized.
