Monophasic magnetic stimulator for transcranial magnetic stimulation

A circuit wiring arrangement of a monophasic stimulator for transcranial magnetic stimulation, comprising:

• a stimulation capacitor (C1) connected via a switch(S) and a limiting means (Rp) to a source (U) of a stimulation energy,
• a stimulation coil (L1) connected in parallel to the stimulation capacitor (C1) via a switching thyristor (T), wherein
• a braking capacitor (C2) connected in series with a diode (D), the braking capacitor (C2) and the diode (D) connected in parallel to the stimulation capacitor (C1), the braking capacitor (C2) arranged to speed up the closing of the diode (D), and
• a discharging resistor (R2) connected in parallel to the braking capacitor (C2), the braking capacitor (C2) having an electrical capacity at least equal to or greater than the electrical capacity of the stimulating capacitor (C1).
