A high-voltage power source for applying high voltage to a nozzle of an ESI ion source includes a charge release assistant section (26) including switch circuits (62 and 65) and other elements for forcing electric charges accumulated at output terminals to be discharged in a polarity-switching operation, whereby the positive/negative switching of the polarity of the output voltage can be quickly performed. In the mass spectrometer according to the present invention, for example, when the voltage applied to the nozzle needs to be changed from Vi to V.sub.2 (where V.sub.1 and V.sub.2 are positive, and V.sub.1>V.sub.2), a voltage control section (20) under the command of a main controller (9) operates a positive voltage generation section (21) and negative voltage generation section (23) so as to temporarily provide a negative output voltage. After a predetermined period of time, the voltage control section operates the positive voltage generation section (21) and negative voltage generation section (23) so as to provide voltage V.sub.2. If the voltage was simply changed from V.sub.1 to V.sub.2, the voltage would decrease slowly and require considerable time for the change. The positive/negative switching of the polarity induces the discharging of the electric charges accumulated at the output terminals, and consequently, the voltage-switching operation from V.sub.1 to V.sub.2 is quickly performed.

A rectifier comprising a chain of transistors for RF-DC conversion. In order to compensate for the thresholds of the transistors, each transistor can be connected to a junction earlier or later in the chain. By using both p-type and n-type transistors in the same chain, the different types of transistors can be compensated in different directions allowing more transistors to be compensated. Additional transistors connected to the gates of transistors of the main chain can allow the transistors of the main chain to be forward compensated at one part of the input cycle and backward compensated in another part to minimize both the voltage threshold of the rectifier and the leakage current. The line for compensation of the voltage threshold during forward conduction can comprise a solid line or a transistor, and if a transistor is used it may be diode-connected.
