HTS Series Fast High-Voltage Semiconductor Switches
Fast High-Voltage Semiconductor Switch, Nanosecond Rise Time (series)
The HTS50-12 is SHR’s fast high-voltage semiconductor switch for short-pulse applications requiring very fast rise times and high peak currents. Compared to cold cathode tubes, triggered spark gaps, or thyratrons, it offers very short recovery times, high repetition rates, very low jitter, and long service life — with no trigger transformer or high auxiliary voltages required.
Series Specifications
| Rise time (series) | Within 3 ns (optimized circuit design) |
| Voltage isolation (series) | Exceeding 10 KVDC |
| Trigger pulse (series) | Positive pulse, 3 to 20 V amplitude |
| Typical on-time after triggering (series) | 150 ns |
| Polarity | Switches positive or negative voltages; can float at high potential |
Key Highlights
- Nanosecond-level rise time, very fast di/dt
- Low turn-on jitter, short delay time
- Excellent high-frequency characteristics
- Galvanic isolation exceeding 10KVDC
- Long service life vs. gas-discharge switches
- No trigger transformer required
