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 ...

While most readers are knowledgeable about voltage doublers, here is a discussion about how to use them in unusual ways to enhance power supply circuits that might be otherwise limited in features.

This very stern looking gentleman is about to explain how voltage doubles work in a plodding, yet satisfyingly thorough manner. We’re not certain when this US Air Training Command video was produced.

Targeting battery-powered applications, the TC1240 positive doubling charge pump operates from a supply current of only 180 µA with its internal oscillator frequency being 160 kHz. The device operates ...
