Abstract
A fast, high-voltage switch based on cheap and readily available components is described. This simple circuit can switch 1 kV to ground with a fall time of ∼2.5 ns, and has proved a cost-effective means of driving electrostatic gating and rereferencing devices in pulsed ion-beam experiments.
