Abstract
A capacitor exploding foil initiator device having a capacitor connected in parallel to a bleed resistor. The capacitor and resistor are connected across an exploding foil initiator by an over-voltage gap switch. When a voltage of the capacitor reaches a breakdown voltage of the switch, the energy stored in the capacitor is discharged through the switch to the exploding foil initiator.
