X-ray source driving circuit, and x-ray generation device using same

Abstract

An X-ray source driving circuit and an X-ray generation device using the same are proposed. An objective of the present disclosure is to provide an X-ray source driving circuit having a low possibility of dielectric breakdown and capable of reducing an insulation distance between high voltage circuits, and to provide an X-ray generation device of which the size and weight may be reduced by using the same. To this end, the X-ray generation device includes an X-ray source including a cathode electrode, an anode electrode, and a gate electrode and configured to generate X-rays with a driving voltage applied to each electrode, a first voltage converter including a first transformer and at least one voltage multiplier for multiplying a first voltage output from the first transformer, and a second voltage converter including a second transformer and a voltage multiplier for multiplying a second voltage output from the second transformer.
