An electronic assembly configured to control a cathode of an X-ray tube of a medical imaging system, the electronic assembly comprising:
- a plurality of boards comprising a first analog board, a first digital board, a second power board, and a third power board;
- and
- at least two Faraday cages nested within one another, the at least two Faraday cages comprising an inner Faraday cage surrounding the first digital board and an outer Faraday cage surrounding each of the plurality of boards and the inner Faraday cage.
A cathode supply assembly for a medical imaging system, comprising:
- a housing;
- a plurality of boards interconnected by an interconnecting board, the plurality of boards and the interconnecting board arranged within an interior volume of the housing;
- and
- an inner Faraday cage surrounding a first digital board of the plurality of boards, wherein an outer Faraday cage of the housing surrounds each of the first digital board, a second power board, and a third power board of the plurality of boards.
A medical imaging system, comprising:
- a cathode supply assembly, a high-voltage (HV) transformer, a dynamic damper, and a HV connector coupled to an X-ray tube, wherein the dynamic damper is arranged between the HV transformer and the cathode supply assembly;
- wherein
- a housing of the cathode supply assembly comprises an outer Faraday cage;
- a plurality of boards is enclosed by the housing, the plurality of boards comprising a first digital board, a second power board, and a third power board;
- a first analog board extends under the plurality of boards and a portion of the first analog board is within the housing;
- and
- an inner Faraday cage encloses the first digital board and is arranged within an interior volume of the housing.
