Abstract
The X-ray generator includes a booster for boosting a first DC voltage supplied from a voltage source to a second DC voltage higher than the first DC voltage, at least one capacitor for receiving the second DC voltage and generating a charging voltage on the basis of the second DC voltage, a converter for converting the charging voltage into a driving voltage, an X-ray source for receiving the driving voltage and emitting X-rays according to the driving voltage, and a controller for controlling the booster, the converter, and the X-ray source. The controller calculates a cooling time required for cooling the X-ray source to a predetermined temperature or lower, determines the magnitude of the second DC voltage according to the cooling time, and applies the second DC voltage to the capacitor for the cooling time.
