Electrotherapy waveform and pulse generation and delivery systems, methods and devices are described, such as for generation and delivery of defibrillation or pacing electrotherapeutic waveforms to patients, using open or closed loop current control. An example system includes a power supply, a therapeutic current control network including a resonant tank and at least one current control switch, and a controller. The controller may adjust operation of at least one current control switch in adjusting delivery of an electrotherapeutic waveform to the patient to correspond with a specified waveform. Therapeutic current control networks are described that are quasi-resonant and boost a voltage of an electrotherapeutic waveform delivered to the patient. Therapeutic current control networks are also described that may switch between a parallel resonance mode and a series resonance mode. Systems are described that may utilize one or more of soft switching, wide bandgap materials and a bidirectional power supply.
