Transient injection processes in reversely switched dynistors (RSDs) operating in a submicrosecond pulse range have been numerically simulated and the output current and voltage characteristics have been calculated. It is shown that, provided a proper choice of parameters of the silicon device structure and external chains, RSDs can be used to switch current pulses with amplitudes up to several dozen kA/cm(2), total durations of several hundred nanoseconds, and leading edge widths within 50-100 ns. The voltage decreases from the initial level by an order of magnitude already in 15-20 ns, and attains a steady value of 10-25 V during the leading edge time.
