HV switch, variable on-time, bidirectional (AC) push-pull, MOSFET  

● HV push-pull switch with bidirectional switching paths in halfbridge configuration ● The AC MOSFET topology allows negative and positive input voltages without polarity change of the switch poles - complicate relay circuits for polarity reversal are needless! ● Rise and fall time identical  ● Safe operation due to passive switching path locking ● No cross-over current ● Ideal for precise HV square wave pulses into capacitive load ● No working resistor required ● No necessity for large HV input energy storage capacitors
Technical Note:  BEHLKE push-pull switches have extreme rise and fall times. If your application does not require the full switching speed we suggest you the use of the speed limiting option S-TT (rise & fall times slower by approx. 50%) in combination with the input low pass filter option LP. These options help to minimize the high frequency difficulties typical for fast high voltage pulse circuits  (e.g. self oscillating or self re-triggering) and simplify the EMC design in general.

Product Code: The model number contains coded information about voltage, current and turn-on behavior.  The first digits stand for the voltage in kV, the last digit before the dash indicates the  turn-on behavior (0 = fixed on-time, 1 = variable on-time). The digits after the dash indicate the current  in Amperes x10. Special features are coded by the letters after a second dash. Example HTS 31-03-HB-C:  HTS = HV Transistor Switch, 3 = 3 kV,  1 = variable on-time, 03 = 30 Ampere, HB = Half Bridge, C = Compact Series.
