Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and associated method are described. The system includes a controlled power supply for generating electrical pulses for a plasma discharge source. The controlled power supply includes an output pulse rail, a direct current power source, and energy storage capacitors, coupled to the direct current power source. The energy storage capacitors are configured to supply: a main negative rail voltage, a positive kick rail voltage, and at least one intermediate rail voltage. A controlled pulse power transistor group includes: a plurality of transistors interposed between the energy storage capacitors and the output pulse rail, and a transmission control configured to control power transmission. The transmission control is configured to specify a positive kick pulse waveform defined by user-specified parameters that configure operation of the plurality of transistors to control timing and voltage of the positive kick rail voltage and the at least one intermediate rail voltage.
