Practical Implementation of a Trapezoidal Waveform Generator in High Voltage SOI Technology

The paper presents an introduction to the analysis of the implementation of a high-voltage trapezoidal waveform generator, starting with a schematic followed by a schematic version with overvoltage protection device set and concluding with a full layout of the latter circuit version. The consecutive design steps offer a decrease in the quality of the generator operation. This decrease is presented in relation to change of selected operation parameters of the discussed generator. Analysis outcome and a scenario of further steps of the design analysis is proposed.
