SSTC bridge driver

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

List,

Driving SSTC bridges with very steep pulses offers many advantages,
but SSTC coilers claim, that this "rings the heck out of everything".

Most driver circuits I have seen, employ pulse transformers to
control the powerMOSFETs and these create a lot of ringing.

Why are no high-side-drivers used in this place? To small drive
current / to slow / to expensive / ..... ??

Could somebody please enlighten me?

Cheers,

Herwig
