Igniting pulse booster circuit

A pulse booster circuit ( 10 ) comprises a first pulse transfer path ( 41 ) and a second pulse transfer path ( 42 ) extending between input terminals ( 11 a ; 11 b) and output terminals ( 12 a ; 12 b). A series arrangement of a capacitor ( 20 and a first breakdown switch ( 13 ) is connected between said two input terminals ( 11 a ; 11 b). A series arrangement of a second breakdown switch ( 14 ) and a primary winding ( 31 ) of a transformer ( 30 ) is connected in parallel to said capacitor ( 20 ). A first output winding ( 32 )of said transformer ( 30 ) is incorporated in said first pulse transfer path ( 41 ), while a second output winding ( 33 ) of said transform ( 30 ) is incorporated in said second pulse transfer path ( 42 ).
