Claim 4:
5. A waveform generator, comprising:
a first voltage stage comprising:
a first voltage source;
a first switch; and
a second switch, wherein a first terminal of the first voltage source is coupled to a first terminal of the first switch, a second terminal of the first voltage source is coupled to a first terminal of the second switch, wherein the first terminal of the second switch is coupled to an output node of the waveform generator, and wherein the output node of the waveform generator is coupled to a load;

a second voltage stage coupled to a first node disposed between second terminals of the first switch and the second switch; and
a current stage coupled to the second voltage stage, the current stage comprising:
a current source wherein the current source comprises: a capacitive element; and an inductive element coupled in series with the capacitive element; and
a third switch coupled to the current source, wherein the current source is coupled in parallel with the third switch.
