A new topology of high instantaneous power impulse converter

This paper presents a new topology of High Instantaneous Power Impulse Converter (HIPIC). HIPIC at average power of kilowatts is able to generate very short impulses (tens of microseconds) to reach instantaneous high power in megawatt range. The new topology is composed of step-down converters, H-bridge converter and switched capacitor converter, what allows to obtain the output current impulses with very high di/dt rising and falling slopes as well as peak current control has very low ripples.
