An electronic circuit that converts AC to DC and multiplies the source voltage. Using capacitor/diode pairs, the capacitor stores the source voltage like a charge pump, and the diode rectifies it. The ...
2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Greinacher voltage multiplier, invented by Swiss physicist Heinrich Greinacher in 1919. In 1932, Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Walton used this basic circuit to ...
A design of voltage doubler circuit has been studied in context of electromagnetic energy harvesting using 28 nm FD-SOI technology. After analysis of the operating constraints of the circuit, the ...
The voltage doubler described in this Design Idea is a modification of the Dickson charge pump. Unlike that circuit, it needs no DC input voltage, but only a digital clock whose peak value is ideally ...
