For high voltage input/output applications, inductor-less, switched capacitor converters (charge pumps) significantly improve efficiency and reduce solution size over conventional inductor-based buck ...

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 ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments Charge pumps are ideal for designs using a larger, main single-voltage power supply that requires lower-current auxiliary voltage sources, and can handle ICs and ...

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 ...

STAR4003 is designed in a TSMC 40nm process with 3.3V tolerant devices. It outputs an open loop doubled voltage from the input supply. The IP integrates two NMOS power switches and two PMOS power ...

[Jonathan Thomson] just finished writing up his entry for the 7400 logic contest. It’s a voltage doubler that uses a 74HC14 logic chip. Because this is not at all what the chip was meant for–and he’s ...

When you set out to build a 60,000-volt power supply and find out that it “only” delivers a measly 50,000 volts, you naturally have to dive in and see where things can be improved. And boy, did ...
