Development of a New Cascade Voltage-Doubler for Voltage Multiplication

Abstract EN

For more than eight decades, cascade voltage-doubler circuits are used as a method to produce DC output voltage higher than the input voltage.

In this paper, the topological developments of cascade voltage-doublers are reviewed.

A new circuit configuration for cascade voltage-doubler is presented.

This circuit can produce a higher value of the DC output voltage and better output quality compared to the conventional cascade voltage-doubler circuits, with the same number of stages.
