(Received 16 August 1993; accepted for publication 14 February 1994) A fast (.=Zl ns rise time) high-voltage pulser circuit was developed using 2N5551/2N5550 transistors in avalanche mode as switching elements. This circuit has transistors in series stack configuration and provides -2 kV amplitude and ~1 ns rise time into 50 fi with a 13 ns delay and
