Abstract

he construction of a high‐voltage (up to 1000 V) bipolar metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field‐effect transistor square‐wave generator is described. This generator is capable of producing both positive and negative going square waves with variable amplitude, repetition rate, and width. The circuit was designed for ferroelectrics research, however other applications are possible. The rise time of the prototype was 200 ns which was quite satisfactory for the present ferroelectric research project however the rise time can be decreased to 50 ns if necessary. The reader with a modest knowledge of electronics should be able to construct the circuit. Possible pitfalls and critical points are discussed.
