1. A system, comprising:
a switching direct current (DC) power source configured to provide an input voltage at a first frequency;
a forward converter coupled to the switching DC power source, wherein the forward converter outputs a first voltage and a second voltage;
a frequency multiplier coupled to the forward converter and configured to receive the first voltage as an input;
a switch coupled to the frequency multiplier and configured to be driven by the frequency multiplier, wherein the switch outputs a fourth voltage; and
a voltage multiplier coupled to the switch and configured to be driven by the switch, wherein the voltage multiplier receives the second voltage and outputs a fifth voltage that is greater than the second voltage.
