Abstract
A magnetic waveform generator circuit includes a first switch coupled to a first rectifier element at a first node, a first capacitor coupled, at a second node to the first switch, and to a fourth node, a second capacitor coupled, at a third node to the first rectifier element, and to the fourth node, and an inductor coupled between the first and the fourth nodes. The first switch is operable to be in an ON state during a first time period and in an off state during a second time period. The first switch and the first rectifier element are configured to enable the inductor to generate, during the first and the second time periods, a magnetic field having a waveform resembling a positive half-cycle of a triangular waveform.
