Simple Voltage Multiplier Circuit Diagram

This is a Simple Voltage Multiplier Circuit Diagram. This Simple Voltage Multiplier Circuit Diagram we build to day. how to build lets start. Figure 99-l(a)`s circuit exhibits a high-output impedance as a result of the small effective capacitance of the series-connected capacitors, and it exhibits considerable voltage loss due to all of the diode drops. Further, this circuit requires 2 diodes and 2 capacitors to produce a dc output voltage approximately times the rail voltage. Figure 99-1 (b)`s circuit multiplies more effectively using fewer diodes and capacitors.

The parallel arrangement of the capacitors lets you use smaller capacitors than those required in Fig. 99-1(a). Alternatively, when using the same capacitor values of Fig. 99-1 (a), the output impedance will be lower. Whereas the clock source directly drives only one of the two strings of capacitors in Fig. 99-1(a), Fig. 99-l(b)`s clock drives both strings with opposite phases. 

This drive scheme doubles the voltage per stage of two diodes. A final diode is necessary to pick off the dc output voltage because both strings of capacitors now carry the - p ac input-voltage waveform. The ICL7667 dual-FET driver accepts a TTL drive swing and provides a low-impedance push-pull drive to the diode string. This low impedance is particularly helpful when using a long string to raise output voltage to more than 100 V, starting from a low rail voltage.

Low Voltage Step Down Converter

Sometimes you have a situation where you have a 5-V supply voltage but part of the circuit needs a lower supply voltage. A voltage regulator from the Texas Instruments TPS62000 family [1] is a good choice for this if the current consumption is less than 600 mA.



The essential advantages are:

  • small (but still manually solderable) SMD package;
  • high operating frequency (750 kHz) => small external inductor;
  • integrated power MOSFETs => high efficiency (up to 95 %);
  • no external switching diode necessary.

You can thus use this device to build a very compact, highly efficient voltage converter. A sample layout generated by the author is available as a file on the Elektor website. The TSOP62000 provides an internal reference potential of 0.45 V, which can be used to set the output voltage in the range of 0.5 V to 5 V by means of resistors R2 and R3. The formula for this is: Vout = 0.45 V + (0.45 V) × (R2 / R3) For relatively low voltages, the value of inductor L1 should be 10 µH, but a value of 22 µH is better if the output voltage is 3.3 V or more. The input voltage can be anywhere in the range of 2 V to 5.5 V, and of course it has to be higher than the desired output voltage. The output voltage is 3.3 V with the indicated component values and an input voltage of 5 V. If you want to reduce the component count even further, you can use a member of the family with a fixed output voltage. The available voltages are 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2.5, and 3.3 V. With this approach you can omit R2, R3 and C3, so the output can be connected directly to pin 5.
