Patent ID: 8531121

Claim:
A driver circuit comprising: a) receiving means having input and output stages, a charge storage means, and means for discharging said charge storage means across said output stage of said receiving means upon reaching a predetermined voltage, said input stage of said receiving means receiving a d.c. voltage that is routed to said charge storage means; b) a switching coupler arranged in a bridged configuration having arms with each arm having input and output stages with the input stage thereof connected to said output stage of said receiving means, said switching coupler having a network in each of its arms and said network being comprised of a first resistor, a first inductor, and a first, capacitor, said switching coupler further having a second inductor in each arm of the switching coupler and connected to a respective network and which provides induced and reversing currents at the output stage of said switching coupler; and c) a transformer having input and output stages with the input stage connected to said output stage of said switching coupler.
