Eagle Harbor Technologies (EHT) Inc. developed a prototype solid-state thyratron replacement to trigger higher voltage spark-gap switches typically used in these HEDP applications to address the needs of Sandia and other pulsed-power laboratories. The first-generation EHT solid-state thyratron replacement can produce 20 kV pulses into 50 Ω with a sub-10 ns rise time and 100 ns e-folding fall time. The unit is designed to be compact and low cost. EHT will present the design tradeoff study, selected topology, and key waveforms results.
