Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a high voltage generator (100) for supplying an X-ray tube (200), the high voltage generator (100) comprising: a voltage regulator device (100-1), which is configured to provide a DC voltage; a plurality of N generator devices (100-2), which are coupled to the regulator device (100-1) and which comprise a switched-mode power circuit (100-2A) and which are configured to provide a waveform pattern (WP); and a plurality of N transformer devices (100-3), which are coupled to the generator device (100-2) and which are configured to provide a high voltage output pattern (HVOP) by means of the provided waveform pattern (WP) and further configured as a serial connection of the N transformer devices (100-3), whereby all provided high voltages HVOP are added, thereby yielding a higher voltage (THV) in the X-ray tube and wherein each of the plurality of the N generator devices (100-2) is configured to provide the waveform patterns (WP) adjusted to produce a substantially flat-pulse shaped pulse as the high voltage output pattern (HVOP) as an output of each of the N transformer devices (100-3) wherein the flat-pulse shaped pulse is achieved by means of double pulse/minimum time control.
