Field: Basic communication processes (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A device including:
an inductor;
a capacitor including a first port and a second port;
a switch configured to selectively couple, at a time that the inductor is charged to a selected current throughput, an output of the inductor to the first port of the capacitor to charge, for a period equal to a pulse duration, the first port to a clamping voltage and thereby generate a rising edge for a current pulse at the second port of the capacitor; and
a voltage clamp coupled to the first port, the voltage clamp configured to clamp, at a time that the first port is charged to the clamping voltage, the first port at the clamping voltage and thereby generate a falling edge for the current pulse.
