Abstract EN
Decades after invention of the Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier, it is still being used in broad range of high voltage and ac to dc applications.
High voltage ratio, low voltage stress on components, compactness, and high efficiency are its main features.
Due to the problems of original circuit, reduction of output ripple and increase of accessible voltage level were the motivations for scientist to propose new topologies.
In this article a comparative study on these voltage multipliers was presented.
By simulations and experimental prototypes, characteristics of the topologies have been compared.
In addition to the performances, components count, voltage stress on the components, and the difficulty and cost of construction are other factors which have been considered in this comparison.
An easy to use table which summarized the characteristics of VMs was developed, which can be used as a decision mean for selecting of a topology based on the requirements.
It is shown that, due to the application, sometimes a simple and not very famous topology is more effective than a famous one.
