We present the design, implementation, and performance of a fast-switching gating grid driver (GGD) for the SπRIT Time Projection Chamber, optimized for heavy-ion collision experiments. The GGD controls the wire gating grid to transmit drift electrons from nuclear reactions while blocking ion backflow and background from non-interacting beam particles. A GGD circuit with matched metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET) and tunable capacitors and resistors enables rapid, low-noise transitions between open and closed states. Bench tests and in-situ tests with the Time Projection Chamber confirm reliable operation with minimal pickup noise. In the 2016 campaign, GGDs using surface-mounted resistors exhibited limited operational lifetimes. For the 2024 campaign, we incorporated anti-surge resistors with higher inductive damping. The new resistors reduced switching noise and resulted in shorter noise decay times. These improvements enabled robust operation at high event rates, achieving stable performance over extended beam times. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
