A high performance, high-speed, cost-effective pulse width modulation circuit for the delivery of linear and efficient power to a load. The inventive aspects include: (a) removing certain MOSFET current limiting resistors and reducing impedance paths between components to decrease switching transition time; (b) providing an ultra-fast transient protection circuitry between the Gate and the Source, and between the Drain and the Source of the MOSFETs; (c) providing a hermetically sealed Faraday cage over the circuit; (d) providing a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the circuit; (e) providing an electrically and geometrically symmetrical circuit, having multiple pieces of interconnected substrates to reduce electrical and mechanical stress across the junctions and matching thermal coefficient of adjoining components; (f) using costly BeO material only for the substrate in the MOSFETs where most heat is generated and less costly Alumina substrate for the rest of the circuit.
