TRANSIENT CONTROL OF AN ASYMMETRIC WAVEFORM

Abstract: a bias supply comprising power circuitry configured to apply an asymmetric periodic voltage waveform at the output node wherein the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform comprises a first section that begins with a first negative voltage and changes during a first transition to a peak voltage before changing during a second transition to a second negative voltage and a second section that begins with the second negative voltage and comprises a voltage ramp between the second negative voltage and a third negative voltage. transition circuitry is configured to adjust a slope of one, or both, of the first and second transitions.
