This section describes the implementation of the dual high-voltage supply using uncoupled inductors. The specifications of the dual supply are described in Table 1-1. Section 3.2.2.1 through Section 3.2.2.8 provide a step-by-step method to design the supply. This system can be thought of as two parallel output stages coupled through capacitors C1 and C15 with the primary side as shown in Figure 3-11. To create a high-voltage dual supply, the output stage of the high-voltage power supply (HVPS) was designed differently. As Figure 3-11 shows, the output capacitors are charged to the positive rail of 75V for the top stage (SEPIC). Similarly, the output capacitors of the bottom stage are charged to a negative supply of –75V (Cuk). This is due to the inclusion of the HVGND in Figure 3-11 between R7, R11, and R13. A dual high-voltage power supply was achieved using HVGND. Following the output of both rails, a Pi and Power Filter were used to attenuate the ripple of the high-voltage supply.
